US Montmorency tart cherries (MTC) improve sleep outcomes in previous studies, but studies in individuals with overweight and obesity are lacking.
Methods: A total of 34 individuals with sleep issues and overweight or obesity (BMI: 32.
The art of biodegradable polymer design for the treatments against osteomyelitis.

December 2024
Osteomyelitis arises from the incomplete treatment of the external wounds in the healing process, while bacterial infections persist within the bone marrow, leading to abscess formation. Osteomyelitis treatments generally involve three main aspects: rapid bactericidal action, sustained bacteriostasis, and induction of bone regeneration. However, current treatment methods, which often combine surgical debridement with long-term high-dose intravenous antibiotic administration or poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) beads antibiotic therapy, suffer from significant drawbacks and limitations.

The physicochemical properties of the prepared cellulose fibers were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The B.

- The study identifies and analyzes a halophilic bacterium from a medical college in India, focusing on its biological activity and the antimicrobial compounds it produces.
- The researchers extracted and concentrated the bacterium's extracellular metabolites, which showed moderate hemolytic and antioxidant properties, as well as antimicrobial effects against specific pathogens.
- Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed 12 distinct metabolites, indicating the potential for further research to identify beneficial compounds produced by this bacterial species.
