Efficacy of Adjunctive High-Frequency Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Improving Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia: A Feasibility Study.

Background: Negative symptoms of schizophrenia are disabling and respond inadequately to antipsychotic treatment. Hypofunctioning of cortical areas such as anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex has been implicated in negative symptoms. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is efficacious for the negative symptoms.

Bedaquiline Resistance and Treatment Outcomes Among Patients With Tuberculosis Previously Exposed to Bedaquiline in India: A Multicentric Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Bedaquiline (BDQ) resistance presents a critical challenge in the fight against tuberculosis (TB), particularly multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. The emergence of resistance to BDQ, a key drug in treating MDR-TB, poses significant threats to TB treatment effectiveness.

Methods: The National Institute of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases in Delhi and the Médecins Sans Frontières clinic in Mumbai provide BDQ, delamanid, and carbapenem-based regimens for patients with suspected or confirmed treatment failure.

Whole-genome sequencing of five culturable endophytes isolated from garlic flower stem sap from Upstate New York, USA.

We report the whole-genome sequences of five culturable bacterial endophytes isolated from German hardneck garlic sap ( L.). Three isolates were classified under the genus , while the others were identified as and .

Cranberry-derived bioactives for the prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections: antimicrobial mechanisms and global research trends in nutraceutical applications.

Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a global health concern, increasingly complicated by antibiotic resistance. Cranberry-derived bioactive compounds, particularly proanthocyanidins (PACs), have emerged as a promising non-antibiotic strategy for UTI prevention. This review examines their efficacy, mechanisms of action, and the evolving research landscape through bibliometric analysis.
