Three new phenanthrenes (1-3), designated as 2-methoxy-1,6-dimethyl-5-vinyl-9, 10-dihydrophenanthren-7-ol, 1,6-dimethyl-4,5-dihydropyrene-2,7-diol and 1-(3,7- dihydroxy-2,8-dimethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-1-yl)ethanone, were isolated from the aerial parts of Juncus effusus. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic experiments (NMR and MS) and comparing with those related known compounds. The antifungal and antibacterial activities of 1-3 were evaluated. Compound 1 showed remarkable antifungal activities against six agricultural pathogenic fungi (Rhizoctonia solani, Verticillium dahliae Kleb, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Gibberella saubinetii, Bipolaris zeicola, and Phytophthora parasitica) with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 3.125 to 12.5 μg/mL, and also displayed significant antibacterial activities against two human pathogenic bacteria (Bacterium paratyphosum B and Micrococcus lysodeikticus) with MIC values of 12.5 and 25 μg/mL, respectively.

Children are highly sensitive to toxins which can damage their organs and lead to death. Investigating the main causes of intoxication could reduce mortality and morbidity in children. In this cross-sectional study, the documents of all poisoned patients (214 cases) admitted to the emergency department of Taleghani children`s Hospital between April 2020 and 2023 were investigated.

Background: Xylazine is a α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, used for sedation in veterinary contexts. Although it is increasingly found in overdose deaths across North America, the clinical management of xylazine-involved overdoses has not been extensively studied, especially in community-based harm reduction settings. Here we present a clinical series of xylazine-involved overdose and share the clinical approach and lessons learned by a community overdose response team in Tijuana, Mexico amidst the arrival of xylazine.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) ketorolac and IV morphine in the management of severe vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) in children with sickle cell disease (SCD).
Method: An open-label, randomized controlled trial was conducted from January 2021 to July 2022 wherein children with SCD aged 3 to 15 years, presenting with severe VOC (score > 6 on the Wong-Baker Faces Pain scale) were included. Block randomization with minimization was done and participants received either IV ketorolac (intervention) or IV morphine infusion (standard).
