Larvicidal and enzyme inhibition effects of Phoenix pusilla derived Methyl oleate and malathion on Aedes aegypti strains.

This study explores the larvicidal potential of methanolic flower extracts from Phoenix pusilla (Pp-Fe), its major compound, and malathion (MLT), against laboratory strain (LS) and field strain (FS) of Aedes aegypti, the dengue mosquito vector. We identified thirty-one derivatives, with methyl oleate (MO) comprising 28.5% of Pp-Fe.

Unveiling the Role of Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) in Detecting Subclinical Peripheral Neuropathy in Autoimmune Disorders: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Peripheral neuropathy, characterized by nerve damage, often presents with symptoms like pain, tingling, and muscle weakness. However, in its subclinical form, these symptoms may be subtle or absent, making early detection challenging. This is particularly concerning in patients with autoimmune connective tissue disorders (ACTDs), where the immune system attacks the body's tissues, potentially leading to nerve damage.

Cortical Laminar Necrosis as a Rare Complication of Streptococcus pneumoniae Meningitis: A Case Report.

Cortical laminar necrosis (CLN) is a rare neurological complication that refers to ischemic injury of selective neuronal cortical layers. This condition often gets triggered by hypoxia, hypoglycemia, status epilepticus, immunosuppressive therapy, and rarely infection. This case report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, management, and outcomes of a patient who developed CLN due to bacterial meningitis.
