From Spores to Solutions: A Comprehensive Narrative Review on Mucormycosis.

Mucormycosis is an infrequent but fatal illness that mainly affects patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis, solid and hematologic neoplasms, organ transplantation, chronic steroid intake, prolonged neutropenia, iron overload states, neonatal prematurity, severe malnutrition, and HIV. Many cases were reported across the world recently following the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent research has led to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, and global guidelines are now available for managing this serious infection.

Carbapenem resistant in the United Arab Emirates: a retrospective analysis from 2010 to 2021.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant (CRE) are spreading in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where their dissemination is facilitated by international travel, trade, and tourism. The objective of this study is to describe the longitudinal changes of CRE as reported by the national AMR surveillance system of the UAE.

Methods: In this study, we retrospectively describe CRE isolated from 317 surveillance sites, including 87 hospitals and 230 centers/clinics from 2010 to 2021.

Methicillin resistant in the United Arab Emirates: a 12-year retrospective analysis of evolving trends.

Introduction: Methicillin resistant (MRSA) is a major contributor to the global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As MRSA continues to evolve, the need for continued surveillance to evaluate trends remains crucial. This study was carried out to assess MRSA trends in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) based on analysis of data from the national AMR surveillance program.

Antimicrobial resistance in : a retrospective analysis of emerging trends in the United Arab Emirates from 2010 to 2021.

Introduction: Although pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV) have been effective in reducing the burden of infections, there is a paucity of data on the relationship with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends in the Arabian Gulf region. This study was carried out to assess resistance trends in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where PCV-13 vaccination was introduced in 2011.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of demographic and microbiological data collected as part of the national AMR surveillance program from 2010 to 2021 was carried out.

Ultra-sound assisted extraction, anti-oxidant, cytotoxic and anti-microbial studies of Moringa oleifera flowers.

The study was undertaken to determine antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial activities of Moringa oleifera flowers. We used three different solvents, hexane (MOF-H), ethyl acetate (MOF-EA) and methanol (MOF-M), to extract the flowers of M. oleifera using the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) approach.

Chemical Composition Analysis, Cytotoxic, Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activities of L.: A Comparative Study of Leaves and Fruit.

L. belongs to the family Solanaceae and is distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions. leaf and fruit extracts were assessed for in vitro anticancer, antioxidant activity, and total phenolic and flavonoid content.

The retrieval of a surgical blade broken within the alveolar bone during minimally traumatic tooth extraction.

Minimally traumatic tooth removal is the norm for removing teeth when a dental implant is planned at that site. The quantity of available bone is the primary requisite to place an implant. The initial use of a scalpel blade to widen the periodontal space followed by the use of luxators is one of the techniques that is being followed for atraumatic extraction.

Detection of Salmonella in Blood by PCR using iroB gene.

Background: Salmonella, a genus of more than 2500 serological variants (serovars), includes many organisms that can cause human disease. Enteric fever remains an important public health problem in developing countries. Non typhoidal Salmonella generally produce a self limited gastroenteritis in healthy individuals whereas in extremes of age and immunocompromised cause severe fatal disease.

A Case of Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) with Mutation in Ribosomal Protein S19.

Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is a rare disorder which presents with anemia in early infancy. This disorder is genetically and clinically heterogeneous in nature. The inheritance is mainly autosomal dominant.

Clinical and serological evaluation of Leptospirosis in Puducherry, India.

Background: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease with a worldwide distribution. There is a paucity of available data about prevalence of this disease in Pondicherry. Our aim was to investigate the seropositivity rate of leptospirosis in suspected cases and also to identify the predominant serogroups present by performing Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT).

A case of fatal acute pyogenic meningitis in a neonate caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Salmonella group B.

Salmonellosis constitutes an important public health problem throughout the world. In severe infections like meningitis and septicemia, antibiotic treatment is essential. Extended-spectrum cephalosporins are preferentially used to treat salmonellosis in children.

A case report and review of the literature: ciprofloxacin resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi in India.

Background: Enteric fever is a major public health problem in India. The current treatment of choice is the fluoroquinolones.

Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ciprofloxacin was determined by E-test, HIMEDIA HiComb MIC test and agar dilution.
