An Unusual Presentation of Osteomyelitis Complicated by Pathological Fracture of the Mandible: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Osteomyelitis is mainly caused by pyogenic organisms that spread through fractures, the bloodstream, or surgeries. It is a serious bone infection that can be either acute or chronic. It involves an inflammatory process affecting the bone and its surrounding structures.

Biomimetic Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Ethyl Acetate Extract of Leaves; Characterizations and Emerging Antimicrobial Activity.

The current work reports the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the antimicrobial activities of ethyl acetate extract of Urtica diocia (UD) leaves as a reducing and capping agent. The synthesized UD-AgNPs were characterized using UV−visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The UD-AgNPs were evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and their size, shape, and distribution were recorded.

Drug resistance in Candida albicans isolates and related changes in the structural domain of Mdr1 protein.

Background: The increasing azole drug resistance in fungal pathogens poses a pressing threat to global health care. The coexistence of drug-resistant Candida albicans with tuberculosis patients and the failure of several drugs to treat C. albicans infection extend hospital stay, economic burden, and death.

Guided bone regeneration with osteoconductive grafts and PDGF: A tissue engineering option for segmental bone defect reconstruction.

Regeneration and reconstruction of segmental bone defects (SBD) is a clinical challenge in maxillofacial surgery and orthopedics. The present study evaluated efficacy of guided bone-regeneration (GBR) of rat femoral SBD using osteoconductive equine-bone (EB) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) grafts, either with or without platelet-derived growth-factor (PDGF). Following ethical-approval, 50 male Wistar-Albino rats (aged ~12-15 months and weighing ~450-500 g) were included.

Guided Bone Regeneration of Femoral Segmental Defects using Equine Bone Graft: An In-Vivo Micro-Computed Tomographic Study in Rats.

: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is commonly used for osseous defect reconstruction. The objective of this study was to evaluate in real-time () the efficacy of equine bone graft for GBR in segmental critical-size defects (CSD) of the femur in a rat model. : Following ethical approval, 30 male Wistar-Albino rats (age 12-14 months/weight 450-500 grams) were included.
