Bioinputs from DC. (Myrtaceae): Optimization of Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction and Assessment of Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Antibiofilm Activities.

By-products of fruit processing may contain bioactive compounds with potential application as bioinputs. This study optimized the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of phenolic compounds from the by-products of DC (Myrtaceae) fruit to obtain bioinputs with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antibiofilm activities. The fruit by-products (seeds and peels) were subjected to UAE optimization using the Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology.

Pigment Production by sp.: Extract Production, Cytotoxicity Activity, and Diketopiperazines Identified.

Filamentous fungi are among the most commonly used microorganisms for producing various metabolites including dyes. Ensuring the safety of products derived from microorganisms is always essential. In this study, the isolated fungus was identified as sp.

Electrolyte Concentration in Urine and Urinary Infection-Is There Any Relation?

Background: Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium in urine are useful biomarkers and are commonly evaluated in patients with different conditions. Urinary tract infections are among the most common diseases worldwide. However, their treatment poses significant challenges, particularly in hospitals, primarily due to antibiotic resistance and recurrence.

Arterial Embolization of Joint Synovitis: The Latino Registry. Midterm Follow-Up of the Latino-Hip Cohort for Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome.

Purpose: To present the midterm follow-up of a cohort of 31 patients with great trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) refractory to conservative management or physical therapy and no indication for surgery treated with embolization of the lateral femoral circumflex artery (LFCA).

Material And Methods: Single-center prospective cohort from June 2019 to July 2023. This paper is an update of the initial experience with embolization of LFCA, previously published.

Evaluation of the antimicrobial potential of extracts Myrciaria cauliflora in strains of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC and Staphylococcus aureus BLAC.

Bacteria of medical interest have increasingly acquired resistance to available antimicrobials over the years. This resistance makes these microorganisms a challenge for conventional medicine treatments, and new research is focusing on herbal medicine to fight these pathogens. The present work aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic activity of Myrciaria cauliflora and Genipa americana extracts, considering an in vitro bacterial inhibition, using a modified antibiogram technique, the extracts were studied in strains of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Staphylococcus aureus BLAC, where inhibition was observed in the two strains studied by the extract.
