Phylogenetic insights and antimicrobial biosynthetic potential of Serratia sp. XAFb12 and Pseudomonas sp. XAFb13 from Xylopia aethiopica.

The extensive distribution of Xylopia aethiopica across the continent of Africa has firmly established its medicinal value in diverse disease management. While its phytochemistry is well established, the diversity, molecular, biochemical, and antimicrobial-biosynthetic characterizations of culturable bacterial endophytes residing in fruits of X. aethiopica have not been studied previously.

Diversity, molecular phylogenetics, and antibiotic biosynthetic potential of endophytic Actinobacteria isolated from medicinal plants in Nigeria.

Actinobacteria that are found in nature have enormous promise for the growth of the pharmaceutical sector. There is a scarce report on the antimicrobial activities of endophytic Actinobacteria from Nigeria. As a result, this study evaluated the Actinobacteria isolated from Nigerian medicinal plants in terms of their biodiversity, phylogenetics, and ability to produce antimicrobial compounds.

Bernard-Soulier syndrome in pregnancy with retinal detachment: a rare phenomenon.

Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) is a rare congenital bleeding disorder of the platelet, and it is mainly inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. It is caused by both qualitative and quantitative deficiency of the platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V receptor complex, thereby causing abnormal platelets adhesion.We report a case of a primigravida in her 20s with history of BSS diagnosed in childhood due to family history.

Pregnancy-associated spontaneous coronary artery dissection: multidisciplinary management, challenges and literature review.

A 30-year-old woman in her second pregnancy, which was complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus. She had an uneventful spontaneous vaginal delivery at 38 weeks+3 days of gestation. Day 1 postpartum, she developed sudden chest pain radiating to her jaw and neck.

Successful management of fetal atrial flutter at term pregnancy with postnatal electrocardioversion.

Fetal atrial flutter is a lethal tachyarrhythmia with a 10% mortality rate. Diagnosis is made with echocardiography, and management should be multidisciplinary with obstetricians, fetal cardiologists, and specialist neonatologists.
