The emergence of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) several years ago highlighted the challenge of multidrug-resistant infections, emphasizing the critical need for innovative treatment approaches. Myrtenol, known for its antibacterial and antibiofilm properties, holds promise as a potential treatment option. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of myrtenol against MRSA.

Introduction: The host genetic background is a crucial factor that underlies the interindividual variability of COVID-19 fatality and outcomes. Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 () and interferon-induced transmembrane protein-3 () have a key role in viral cell entrance and priming. The evoked immune response will also provide a predictive prognosis for COVID-19 infection.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the potential of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) LINC00152 and UCA1 as biomarkers for diagnosing and predicting outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
  • Serum levels of LINC00152 and UCA1 were significantly higher in HCC patients compared to those with liver cirrhosis and healthy individuals, indicating they can effectively differentiate between these groups.
  • LINC00152 levels were associated with poorer outcomes in HCC patients, suggesting it might serve as a useful prognostic indicator, while both lncRNAs show promise as non-invasive diagnostic tools for HCC.
