Article Synopsis
- Acinetobacter baumannii, especially the carbapenem-resistant strains (CRAB), is a critical pathogen linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and is prioritized by the WHO.
- Phage therapy is being explored as a potential treatment for CRAB infections due to increasing resistance to conventional antibiotics.
- A newly isolated lytic phage, vAbaIN10, exhibits effective lytic activity against CRAB in various conditions and shows promise in advancing treatment options for multidrug-resistant infections.
Article Synopsis
- Fibroma ossificans are generally well-defined but not often encapsulated tumors, presenting challenges for treatment choices in maxillofacial surgery.
- A case involving a 17-year-old woman with a 6-year-old mandibular swelling revealed a benign tumor, confirmed by imaging and histological examination, leading to successful surgical resection and reconstruction.
- The report highlights the importance of considering clinical and radiological features in managing ossifying fibroids, as treatment can be invasive.
In this paper, we present the demonstration of a cavity-dumped Kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond oscillator based on an Yb:CALYO crystal for the first time. With the assistance of an SESAM, the Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:CALYO laser delivered pulses with an average power of 2.8 W at a repetition rate of 61.

- * In this study, two bacteriophages, vAbBal23 and vAbAbd25, were isolated from wastewater in Dakar, Senegal, and extensively characterized for their effectiveness against extremely drug-resistant strains of A. baumannii.
- * Both phages showed strong antibacterial properties across various pH levels and temperatures, with the ability to attack both active and biofilm forms of the bacteria, indicating their potential as safe therapeutic agents devoid of harmful genes.
Background: Pregnancy-related anemia presents a significant health concern for approximately 500 million women of reproductive age worldwide. To better prevent maternal disorders, it is essential to understand the impact of iron deficiency across different maternal disorders, regions, age groups, and subcategories.
Methods: Based on the comprehensive maternal disorders data sourced from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease study, an investigation was carried out focusing on Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) associated with iron deficiency spanning the period from 1990 to 2019.
