Current Status and Global Research Trend Patterns of Insect Meal in Aquaculture From Scientometric Perspective: (2013-2022).

In the past decade, insect meal has gained popularity in the animal feed industry, particularly in aquafeed, due to rising costs and decreased availability of fish meal (FM) and fish oil. Initially met with skepticism, insect meal is now seen as a promising ingredient because of its high nutrient profile. Research worldwide is exploring its potential as a FM replacement.

Targeting virulence of resistant Escherichia coli by the FDA-approved drugs sitagliptin and nitazoxanide as an alternative antimicrobial approach.

The spread of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli in healthcare facilities is a global challenge. Hospital-acquired infections produced by Escherichia coli include gastrointestinal, blood-borne, urinary tract, surgical sites, and neonatal infections. Therefore, novel approaches are needed to deal with this pathogen and its rising resistance.

Investigating Trace and Macro-element Composition of Herbal and Nutraceutical Dietary Supplements Marketed in Oman: Insights into Safety and Labeling.

With the global increase in the use of dietary supplements to provide nutrients in one's regular diet, these supplements' potential health risks and benefits have become a topic of significant interest. Interestingly, as dietary supplements, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States (USA), Europe, and most countries do not require manufacturers and distributors to obtain approval or provide safety assessments before marketing those products. This research explores for the first time 16 heavy, trace and macro-elemental contents, namely, As, Ni, Cd, Pb, Cu, Co, Mn, Cr, Zn, V, Fe, Al, K, Na, Mg, and Ca, within 24 nutraceutical and herbal supplements marketed in Oman.

The Promising Effect of Ascorbic Acid and Paracetamol as Anti-Biofilm and Anti-Virulence Agents against Resistant .

is a major cause of serious infections, with antibiotic resistance rendering many treatments ineffective. Hence, novel strategies to combat this pathogen are needed. Anti-virulence therapy is a promising new approach for the subsequent era.
