Article Abstract

The growing prevalence of resistance to antibiotics potentially makes and serious pathogens, necessitating the development of new antimicrobial agents. We extracted crude biosurfactants from a potential probiotic spp. to control pathogenic bacteria associated with aerobic vaginal infection. Using nanotechnology formulations, we developed nanoemulsions based on biosurfactants at different concentrations (1% and 3.33%). The results showed that these nanoemulsions were stable, with a weighted index of 0.3, and demonstrated broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against and , with MICs ranging between 1.25 and 4 mg/mL. Additionally, the nanoemulsions exhibited interesting antibiofilm effects. All strains became more sensitive to the antibiotics to which they were resistant because of various biosurfactant formulations combined with antibiotics. Lower concentrations of BNE1% and 3.33% were still more efficient than the crude biosurfactants. Our findings demonstrated that the biosurfactant had a strong antibiofilm effect against all tested pathogens. This antibacterial effect can be explained by their ability to alter cell physiology such as cell hydrophobicity and membrane disintegration. Thus, we can conclude that the use of nanotechnology formulations has improved this effect, and the nanoemulsions developed in this study can be used as a potential anti-infectious therapy against multidrug-resistant bacterial strains of clinical origin.

Importance: Rotator cuff tendinopathy represents the most prevalent cause of shoulder pain, the third most common musculoskeletal disorder after low back pain and knee pain.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of corticosteroid injection(s), alone or in combination with anesthetic injection or any other physical therapist interventions, compared to physical therapist interventions alone in adults with rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Design: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Blood flow restriction (BFR) combined with low work rate exercise can enhance muscular and cardiovascular fitness. However, whether neural mechanisms mediate these enhancements remains unknown. This study examined changes in corticospinal excitability and motor cortical inhibition following arm cycle ergometry with and without BFR.

mTOR Ser1261 is an AMPK-dependent phosphosite in mouse and human skeletal muscle not required for mTORC2 activity.

The kinases AMPK, and mTOR as part of either mTORC1 or mTORC2, are major orchestrators of cellular growth and metabolism. Phosphorylation of mTOR Ser1261 is reportedly stimulated by both insulin and AMPK activation and a regulator of both mTORC1 and mTORC2 activity. Intrigued by the possibilities that Ser1261 might be a convergence point between insulin and AMPK signaling in skeletal muscle, we investigated the regulation and function of this site using a combination of human exercise, transgenic mouse, and cell culture models.
