Molecular Identification of OXA Carbapenemase-Encoding Genes in Isolated from Patients in Critical Care in Egypt.

The emergence of carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) in hospitals, particularly within critical care units, has garnered substantial global concern. CRAB commonly arises from the degradation by various ß-lactamases. : We aimed to assess OXA-type carbapenemases in clinical isolates of obtained from an Egyptian tertiary care facility.

Inpatient treatment modalities of coronavirus disease 2019 in the Egyptian population: A bi-center retrospective observational study.

Background: Many protocols for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been published. In addition to an abundance of studies and meta-analyses on the treatment of COVID-19, different medications used in the intensive care unit will have a significant impact on mortality. The study attempted to highlight, compare, and quantify the impact on outcomes.

Comparing the therapeutic potentials of vs. against vulvovaginal candidiasis in female rats: an study.

Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a highly prevalent illness affecting women globally. Lactobacilli, which make up the majority of healthy vaginal microbiota (VMB), serve as a powerful barrier against infections. Probiotic therapy has been recommended for the treatment or prevention of VVC.

Hypoxemia After Endobronchial Valve Deployment for Persistent Air Leak.

Endobronchial valves (EBVs) are a novel, minimally invasive bronchoscopic management technique for persistent air leaks that fail conservative therapy. Currently, 2 EBVs are available in the United States: the Spiration Valve System (Olympus, Redmond, WA) and the Zephyr Valve (Pulmonx, Redwood, CA). These valves are Food and Drug Administration-approved to reduce hyperinflation in emphysematous patients via bronchoscopic lung-volume reduction.

Synthesis and Evaluation of High Functionality and Quality Cell-penetrating Peptide Conjugated Lipid for Octaarginine Modified PEGylated Liposomes In U251 and U87 Glioma Cells.

The use of peptide ligand modified PEGylated liposomes has been widely investigated for tumor targeting. Peptides are mainly inserted in the liposomal lipid bilayer using PEG-lipid spacer (Peptide-PEG-DSPE). However, a lower cellular uptake from longer nonlinear PEG spacer was reported, we here synthesized a high functionality and quality (HFQ) lipid with a short, linear serine-glycine repeated peptide [(SG)] spacer.
