Aim: To study the adverse reactions that develop as a result of complex antibiotic therapy in patients with non-tuberculous lung mycobacterial (NTML) and to determine methods for their elimination without compromising the effectiveness of NTML treatment.

Materials And Methods: Examined 147 patients with confirmed NTML, for which they received treatment in accordance with the results of drug susceptibility of the pathogen. Before and during treatment, a study of clinical, biochemical blood tests, urinalysis, electrocardiogram, external respiration function, ultrasound of the abdominal organs and kidneys was performed.

Ischemic stroke (IS) and subsequent neuropsychiatric disorders are among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Several strategies have been previously proposed to utilize exosomes for assessing the risk of IS-related diseases. The aim of this work was to evaluate serum exosomal proteins in IS patients during the chronic post-stroke period and to search for their associations with the development of post-stroke mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Article Synopsis
  • - Innate immunity in invertebrates provides effective antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that combat drug-resistant infections, sparking interest in finding new β-hairpin AMPs from worm proteins with a BRICHOS domain.
  • - Researchers discovered new BRICHOS AMPs from caecilians, a lesser-known group of vertebrates, revealing similarities to lung surfactants and suggesting a unique lung function.
  • - The identified peptides show strong antibacterial properties against multidrug-resistant ESKAPE pathogens while being low in toxicity, indicating potential as a new antibiotic model and highlighting a previously unrecognized lung immunity mechanism.

Background And Objectives: Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) is a significant concern in the elderly population, with stroke being a leading cause of epilepsy in this demographic. Several factors have shown consistent associations with the risk of developing PSE, including cortical lesions, initial stroke severity, younger age, and the occurrence of early seizures. The primary objectives of this study were two-fold: (1) to determine the incidence of PSE and (2) to identify the risk factors associated with PSE in a prospective cohort of post-stroke patients.
