This manuscript presents a case report of transient global amnesia with bilateral hippocampal lesions which might be triggered by the fear of getting infected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The purpose of this article is to facilitate the clinicians in understanding that an increasing number of patients with transient global amnesia have been reported during the COVID-19 global outbreak.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP), traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), and muscular dystrophy (MD), among the various other neurological disorders, are major global health problems because they are chronic disorders with no curative treatments at present. Current interventions aim to relieve symptoms alone and therefore emphasize the necessity for new approaches.

Objective: This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) therapy in patients with CP, traumatic SCI, and MD.

Background: There are no approved oral disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess efficacy and safety of blarcamesine (ANAVEX®2-73), an orally available small-molecule activator of the sigma-1 receptor (SIGMAR1) in early AD through restoration of cellular homeostasis including autophagy enhancement.

Design: ANAVEX2-73-AD-004 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 48-week Phase IIb/III trial.

Nano-viscosimetry analysis of membrane disrupting peptide magainin2 interactions with model membranes.

Biophys Chem

January 2025

La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia. Electronic address:

The rapid spread of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria has created an urgent need for new alternative antibiotic agents. Membrane disrupting antimicrobial peptides (AMPs): short amino acid sequences with bactericidal and fungicidal activity that kill pathogens by permeabilizing their plasma membrane may offer a solution for this global health crisis. Magainin 2 is an AMP secreted by the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) that is described as a toroidal pore former membrane disrupting AMP.

Chronic liver disease (CLD) presents a significant global health burden, demanding effective tools for diagnosis and monitoring. Traditionally, liver biopsy has been the gold standard for evaluating liver fibrosis and other chronic liver conditions. However, biopsy's invasiveness, associated risks, and sampling variability indicate the need for reliable, noninvasive alternatives.

Electronic address:

Background: The broad use of bedaquiline and pretomanid as the mainstay of new regimens to combat tuberculosis is a risk due to increasing bedaquiline resistance. We aimed to assess the safety, bactericidal activity, and pharmacokinetics of BTZ-043, a first-in-class DprE1 inhibitor with strong bactericidal activity in murine models.

Methods: This open-label, dose-expansion, randomised, controlled, phase 1b/2a trial was conducted in two specialised tuberculosis sites in Cape Town, South Africa.
