Extensive research in countries with high sociodemographic indices (SDIs) to date has shown that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be directly associated with more severe outcomes among patients living with haematological disorders and malignancies (HDMs). Because individuals with moderate to severe immunodeficiency are likely to undergo persistent infections, shed virus particles for prolonged periods, and lack an inflammatory or abortive phase, this represents an overall risk of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. In cases suffering from HDMs, further investigation is needed to achieve a better understanding of triviruses and a group of related variants in patients with anemia and HDMs, as well as their treatment through vaccines, drugs, and other methods.

Background: The incidence of complications and mortality associated with () bloodstream infections has been increasing significantly, particularly in developing countries where control strategies against this virulent pathogen and its resistance to antibacterial agents are insufficient. The aim of this study was to investigate coagulase typing, the prevalence of toxin genes, and the antibiotic resistance profile of isolated from bloodstream infections.

Methods: Antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was determined by the disk diffusion method.

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression or function without altering the DNA sequence. Important factors are part of epigenetic events, such as methylation, DNA histone rearrangements, nucleosome transposition, and non-coding RNAs. Dysregulated epigenetic mechanics are associated with various cancers' initiation, development, and metastasis.

Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which features structural proteins (S, M, H, E) and non-structural proteins (NSPs) that influence its infectivity and possible links to chronic diseases like cancer and cardiovascular issues.
  • * The virus interacts with key cellular targets like the ACE2 receptor and can activate harmful intracellular signaling pathways that are involved in neurodegenerative diseases and various cancers.
  • * Current research highlights the need for ongoing studies on vaccine efficacy against emerging variants and understanding how SARS-CoV-2 proteins contribute to the development of chronic conditions.

Background And Aim: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most common pathogens causing nosocomial and community-acquired infections with high morbidity and mortality rates. Fusidic acid has been increasingly used for the treatment of infections due to methicillin-susceptible S.
