Anti-Cancer and Anti-Oxidant Bioactive Metabolites from WA7S6 Isolated from Marine Sources: In Vitro and In Silico Studies.

Cancer is a huge global disease burden. Every year, tens of millions of people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer, and more than half of them die as a result of it. The great biodiversity of the marine environment has increasingly piqued the interest of experts, especially in the field of drug discovery.

Biogenic selenium nanoparticles and selenium/chitosan-Nanoconjugate biosynthesized by Streptomyces parvulus MAR4 with antimicrobial and anticancer potential.

Background: As antibiotics and chemotherapeutics are no longer as efficient as they once were, multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens and cancer are presently considered as two of the most dangerous threats to human life. In this study, Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) biosynthesized by Streptomyces parvulus MAR4, nano-chitosan (NCh), and their nanoconjugate (Se/Ch-nanoconjugate) were suggested to be efficacious antimicrobial and anticancer agents.

Results: SeNPs biosynthesized by Streptomyces parvulus MAR4 and NCh were successfully achieved and conjugated.

Chemical Constituents, Antioxidant Potential, and Antimicrobial Efficacy of Extracts against Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria.

Aniseeds () have gained increasing attention for their nutritional and health benefits. Aniseed extracts are known to contain a range of compounds, including flavonoids, terpenes, and essential oils. These compounds have antimicrobial properties, meaning they can help inhibit the growth of nasty bacteria and other microbes.

Fatal cardiac arrest following blunt chest trauma 17 years after a Senning operation.

Although frequent in patients who have undergone Senning or Mustard operations, cardiac arrhythmias after blunt chest trauma have not been reported. We report the case of a 17-year-old boy with ventricular fibrillation after a minor blow to the chest.
