Serendipita indica induced metabolic reprogramming in colonized plants complements phosphorus-management in improving their tolerance to arsenic stress on multifaceted biological fronts. Restoration of the anthropic damage done to our environment is inextricably linked to devising strategies that are not only economically sound but are self-renewing and ecologically conscious. The dilemma of heavy metal (HM) dietary ingestion, especially arsenic (As), faced by humans and animals alike, necessitates the exploitation of such technologies and the cultivation of healthy and abundant crops.

Fosfomycin was initially discovered in 1969 but has recently gained renewed interest for the treatment of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections, particularly in the United States. Its unique mechanism of action, bactericidal activity, broad spectrum of activity, and relatively safe and tolerable adverse effect profile make it a great addition to the dwindling antibiotic armamentarium. Fosfomycin contains a three-membered epoxide ring with a direct carbon to phosphorous bond that bypasses the intermediate oxygen bond commonly present in other organophosphorous compounds; this structure makes the agent unique from other antibiotics.

Anticoagulant prophylaxis for preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a worldwide established procedure in hip and knee replacement surgery. Despite available anticoagulant prophylaxis, patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have a high incidence of venous VTE. In spite of their proven efficacy, the currently available anticoagulants have limitations that driven to develop new oral agents that directly target specific factors in the coagulation cascade, such as direct thrombin inhibitors and direct Factor Xa inhibitors, in an attempt to overcome some of the drawbacks with the traditional agents.

Desloratadine, the active metabolite of loratadine, is a new antihistamine. Because of its anti allergy properties, desloratidine has an affinity for histamine receptors 25 to 100 times greater to those of the usual antihistamines, coupled with a capacity to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. When evaluated in healthy volunteers, the half life of desloratadine has been estimated at 27 hours, which is comparable with a night time length of action.
