What We Know About the Actual Role of Traditional Probiotics in Health and Disease.

The complex relationship between probiotics and human health goes beyond their traditional function in gut health, generating considerable interest for their broad potential in disease treatment. This review explores the various functions of probiotics, highlighting their impact on the immune system, their benefits for gut and oral health, their effects on metabolic and neurological disorders, and their emerging potential in cancer therapy. We give significant importance to studying the effects of probiotics on the gut-brain axis, revealing new and non-invasive therapeutic approaches for complex neurological disorders.

Sporadic regional re-emergent cholera: a 19th century problem in the 21st century.

Cholera, caused by Vibrio cholerae, is a severe diarrheal disease that necessitates prompt diagnosis and effective treatment. This review comprehensively examines various diagnostic methods, from traditional microscopy and culture to advanced nucleic acid testing like polymerase spiral reaction and rapid diagnostic tests, highlighting their advantages and limitations. Additionally, we explore evolving treatment strategies, with a focus on the challenges posed by antibiotic resistance due to the activation of the SOS response pathway in V.

The Formulation and Evaluation of Deep Eutectic Vehicles for the Topical Delivery of Azelaic Acid for Acne Treatment.

The current work was aimed at the development of a topical drug delivery system for azelaic acid (AzA) for acne treatment. The systems tested for this purpose were deep eutectic systems (DESs) prepared from choline chloride (CC), malonic acid (MA), and PEG 400. Three CC to MA and eight different MA: CC: PEG400 ratios were tested.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Vancomycin in Jordanian Patients. Development of Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Model and Validation of Class II Drugs of Salivary Excretion Classification System (SECS).

Vancomycin is a commonly used antibiotic for multi-drug resistant gram-positive infections treatment, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Despite that, it has wide individual pharmacokinetic variability and nephrotoxic effect. Vancomycin trough concentrations for 57 Jordanian patients were measured in plasma and saliva through immunoassay and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), respectively.

Antimicrobial potential of natural deep eutectic solvents.

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are a new class of green solvents, which can solubilize natural and synthetic chemicals of low water solubility. NADES are mixtures of two or three compounds of hydrogen bond acceptors and hydrogen bond donors. Many NADES' components are of natural origin and therefore, NADES are presumed to be nontoxic and often exhibit antimicrobial activity.
