Phytochemical analysis and biological activities of solvent extracts and silver nanoparticles obtained from Woodwardia unigemmata (Makino) Nakai.

Multidrug resistant bacteria are causing health problems and economic burden worldwide; alternative treatment options such as natural products and nanoparticles have attained great attention recently. Therefore, we aimed to determine the phytochemicals, antibacterial potential, and anticancer activity of W. unigemmata.

Factors Associated With Prolonged Venous Transit in Large Vessel Occlusion Acute Ischemic Strokes.

Background And Purpose: Prolonged venous transit (PVT), derived from computed tomography perfusion (CTP) time-to-maximum (T) maps, reflects compromised venous outflow (VO) in acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO). Poor VO is associated with worse clinical outcomes, but pre-treatment markers predictive of PVT are not well described.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 189 patients with anterior circulation AIS-LVO who underwent baseline CT evaluation, including non-contrast CT, CT angiography, and CTP.

Parotid enlargement due to common krait (Bungarus caeruleus) envenomation: a case series.

We describe a series of five patients with bilateral parotid enlargement as a sequalae to envenomation by the common krait (Bungarus caeruleus). Fine-needle aspiration cytology of the parotid gland was performed in four cases. The cytology revealed a mild lymphocytic inflammatory response in a red blood cell mixed proteinaceous background.

Dynamics of Immune Reconstitution and Impact on Outcomes Across CAR-T Cell Products in Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

Patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy are subject to profound immune suppression. Dynamics of immune reconstitution (IR) and impacts of IR on outcomes following infusion across CAR-T products are not well understood. Here, we profiled IR in 263 patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma receiving CAR-T therapy (axicabtagene ciloleucel 44.
