A male baby born out of consanguineous marriage (third degree) to a primigravida mother presented to our hospital on day 21 of life as his third hospitalisation with jerky movements, respiratory distress and refusal to feed. The baby had blood culture-positive sepsis, which was treated adequately. He was given antiseizure therapy for jerky movements, but there was no response to multiple antiseizure therapy, and then pyridoxine was added.

MARK4 is a well-validated drug target for AD; thus, we employed its structural features to discover potential inhibitors. On the other hand, complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) have been used for the treatment of numerous diseases with little side effects.

The present study suggests Myricetin as a potential inhibitor of microtubule-affinity regulating kinase (MARK4), adding another molecule to the existing list of anticancer therapeutics. MARK4 regulates initial cell division steps and is a potent druggable target for various cancers.

Fresh ground camel meat samples were individually inoculated with two isolates of each E.
