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.

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.

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.

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).
