targeting of AmpC beta-lactamases in : unveiling Piperenol B as a potent antimicrobial lead.

Antimicrobial Resistance poses a major threat to human health worldwide. Microorganisms develop multi-drug resistance due to intrinsic factors, evolutionary chromosomal alterations, and horizontal gene transfer. , a common nosocomial bacterium, can cause various infections and is classified as multidrug-resistant.

Possibility of re-purposing antifungal drugs posaconazole & isavuconazole against promastigote form of Leishmania major.

Background & objectives The emergence of drug resistance in leishmaniasis has remained a concern. Even new drugs have been found to be less effective within a few years of their use. Coupled with their related side effects and cost-effectiveness, this has prompted the search for alternative therapeutic options.

Genetic variants and type 2 diabetes in India: a systematic review and meta-analysis of associated polymorphisms in case-control studies.

Background: India, with the largest population and second-highest type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prevalence, presents a unique genetic landscape. This study explores the genetic profiling of T2DM, aiming to bridge gaps in existing research and provide insights for further explorations.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of literature published up to September 2024 using databases like PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify SNPs associated with T2DM in case-control studies within the Indian population.

Methyl donor ameliorates CCl-induced liver fibrosis by inhibiting inflammation, and fibrosis through the downregulation of EGFR and DNMT-1 expression.

Methyl donors regulate the one-carbon metabolism and have significant potential to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the protective effect of methyl donors against CCl-induced liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis was induced in male Sprague Dawley rats using CCl at a dose of 1ml/kg (twice a week for a 4-week, via intraperitoneal route).

Transfabric Leaks After Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures with the WATCHMAN FLX Device.

Background: Cardiac computed tomography imaging with contrast is being used increasingly to image left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices. Contrast flow across a device, also known as a transfabric leak (TFL), may indicate a lack of complete LAAO-device endothelialization. The data on the rate, predictors, and clinical events associated with TFL are limited.
