Monitoring of Antibiotic Resistance Patterns Within Al-Karak Governmental Hospital, Jordan, in 2022.

: Antimicrobial resistance is considered one of the foremost global public health challenges, and its prevalence is increasing. In Jordan, particularly in Al-Karak Governorate, there is a lack of sufficient data on antimicrobial resistance to make accurate assessments. The main aim of the current study was to evaluate antibiotic resistance trends in clinical specimens from 2022 and assess antibiotic resistance patterns.

Characteristics and survival of patients with viral versus nonviral associated hepatocellular carcinoma: a multicenter cohort study.

Background: Viral hepatitis B and C are the leading causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). With obesity, metabolic-related disorders are increasingly associated with a higher incidence of nonviral HCC. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics, tumor features, treatment outcomes, and survival of patients with viral versus nonviral HCC.

Antimicrobial and Anti-Inflammatory Potential of (L.): a bioprospecting study with phytoconstituents analysis.

Objectives: The phytochemicals in the aerial parts of (also known as Sea Spurge) and their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities were investigated.

Methods: The methanolic extract was characterized using GC-MS and HPLC techniques. The anti-inflammatory feature was estimated through a Human Red Blood Cell (HRBC) membrane stabilization technique, while the antimicrobial feature was evaluated by the disc diffusion agar technique, minimum bactericidal concentration, and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) micro-broth dilution method.

Changes in the Etiologies of Liver Cancer in Upper Egypt over a Decade from 2010 to 2020: A Single Tertiary Care Center Study.

Yasser Fouad The profile of liver diseases in Egypt is changing dramatically and viral hepatitis is declining, while the fatty liver disease is increasing dramatically. However, the impact of these changes on the profile of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains uncertain. Therefore, we determined the temporal trends in the etiologies of HCC in Egypt over a decade.

Emergence and Genomic Characterization of a Type t4407 ST6-SCC Type IVa Methicillin-Resistant Strain Isolated from Al-Karak Hospital, Jordan.

: Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a major concern in Jordanian hospitals in terms of infection control. The purpose of this study was to identify the resistance patterns of strains isolated from surfaces of critical locations within the Al-Karak Governmental Hospital in 2019. Additionally, the study aimed to conduct whole-genome sequencing on the isolates.
