Harnessing bacterial antimicrobial peptides: a comprehensive review on properties, mechanisms, applications, and challenges in combating antimicrobial resistance.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health concern due to the persistence of pathogens and the emergence of resistance in bacterial infections. Bacterial-derived antimicrobial peptides (BAMPs) have emerged as a promising strategy to combat these challenges. Known for their diversity and multifaceted nature, BAMPs are notable bioactive agents that exhibit potent antimicrobial activities against various pathogens.

Exploring the antibiotic potential of copper carbonate nanoparticles, wound healing, and glucose-lowering effects in diabetic albino mice.

Bio-Nanoscience is an emerging field that integrates nanotechnology with biological systems to revolutionize medicine, agriculture, and environmental sustainability through innovative and targeted solutions. The aim of this study was to synthesize copper carbonate nanoparticles and to investigate their antibacterial, wound healing, and glucose-lowering properties. Nanoparticles (NPs) were Synthesized through chemical reduction method and confirmed by using SEM, XRD, and FTIR.

A NEW COMBINATION OF KNOWN AGENTS FOR TREATMENT OF ALOPECIA AREATA: A CASE-SERIES STUDY.

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder that affects hair follicles and results in non-scarring circumscribed areas of baldness that may be localised or widespread. Actually, we came across many cases with different patterns of hair loss that showed significant improvement after three months duration of treatment with a topical preparation (Freezia cream). The latter was prepared by specialized doctors and pharmacists, and obtained approval from the Iraqi Ministry of Health.

The relationship between timing of screening for gestational diabetes mellitus and maternal and fetal outcomes: A retrospective cohort study linking primary care electronic and hospital administrative data.

Background: Gestational diabetes (GDM) is associated with adverse outcomes including a large-for-gestational age (LGA) baby, which in turn is associated with downstream childhood obesity. Appropriate timing of GDM screening is important for prompt initiation and optimization of medical management, potentially mitigating the risk of those outcomes. The present study explored the association between the timing of GDM screening and macrosomia, LGA, shoulder dystocia and caesarean section.

Genome-Guided Identification and Characterisation of Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Compounds of Bacillus velezensis Strain PD9 Isolated from Stingless Bee Propolis.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens presents a significant global health challenge, which is primarily fuelled by overuse and misuse of antibiotics. Bacteria-derived antimicrobial metabolites offer a promising alternative strategy for combating antimicrobial resistance issues. Bacillus velezensis PD9 (BvPD9), isolated from stingless bee propolis, has been reported to have antibacterial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
