Finding new molecules to prevent the growth of antimicrobial resistance is a hot topic for scientists worldwide. It has been reported that some raw bioproducts containing polyketides have antimicrobial activities, but extensive studies on this effect have not been conducted. In this context, our studies aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial properties of six raw bioproducts containing three classes of microbial polyketides biosynthesized by three strains through solid-state biosynthesis.

- This systematic review aims to compare the long-term cardiovascular protection of retatrutide and tirzepatide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, focusing on recent data about tirzepatide's proven cardiovascular benefits.
- The review includes original research articles published within the last ten years, specifically randomized control trials involving adult human populations, while excluding studies based on animal models or those lacking sufficient data.
- The analysis of the seven selected studies suggests a potential cardiovascular benefit from diabetes treatments, but it highlights the need for longer follow-up studies to better understand these effects, especially in comparison with individuals without diabetes.
: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a well-established treatment for various psychiatric disorders. This retrospective study evaluates anesthesia practices, patient characteristics, and outcomes in ECT over a two-year period at the "Dr. Gheorghe Preda" Clinical Psychiatry Hospital in Sibiu, Romania.

Background: The wide range of R0 resection rates (R0RR) and incomplete resection rates (IRR) observed with conventional cold snare polypectomy (CCSP) emphasizes the necessity for technique enhancement. The COLDWATER study aimed to compare underwater cold snare polypectomy (UCSP) to CCSP for 5-10-mm colorectal polyps, focusing on comprehensive histopathological evaluation, efficacy, and safety.
Methods: This was a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial comparing UCSP to CCSP for non-pedunculated colorectal polyps of size 5-10 mm.
