Quercetin's antibiofilm effectiveness against drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus and its validation by in silico modeling.

Staphylococcus aureus is typically treated with antibiotics, however, due to its widespread and unselective usage, resistant strains of S. aureus have increased to a great extent. Treatment failure and recurring staphylococcal infections are also brought on by biofilm development, which boosts an organism's ability to withstand antibiotics and is thought to be a virulence factor in patients.

Phytochemicals of Salacia oblonga responsible for free radical scavenging and antiproliferative activity against breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231).

Salacia oblonga, an inhabitant of tropical regions has been used in traditional Indian medicinal systems. Phytochemicals were extracted in methanol from the plant and analyzed for various biological activities. The results of biochemical tests for total phenolics (297 ± 0.

Extracts of strawberry fruits induce intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in breast cancer cells and inhibits tumor progression in mice.

Background: The consumption of berry fruits, including strawberries, has been suggested to have beneficial effects against oxidative stress mediated diseases. Berries contain multiple phenolic compounds and secondary metabolites that contribute to their biological properties.

Methodology/principal Findings: Current study investigates the anticancer activity of the methanolic extract of strawberry (MESB) fruits in leukaemia (CEM) and breast cancer (T47D) cell lines ex vivo, and its cancer therapeutic and chemopreventive potential in mice models.

Assessment of visual contrast sensitivity in hyperbaric oxygen.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used in ophthalmology in ischemic pathologies of the anterior and posterior segments. Our experiment was done on a healthy group of volunteers aged between 10 and 50 yr. We examined the subject's vision before and after acute HBO exposure (60 min at 2.
