Dengue has long been a serious health burden to the global community, especially for those living in the tropics. Despite the availability of vaccines, effective treatment for the infection is still needed and currently remains absent. In the present study, the antiviral properties of the sp. KSF 103 methanolic extract ( KSF 103 ME), which consists of a number of potential antiviral compounds, were investigated against dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2). The effects of this extract against DENV-2 replication were determined using the quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Findings from the study suggested that the KSF 103 ME showed maximum inhibitory properties toward the virus during the virus entry stage at concentrations of more than 12.5 µg/mL. Minimal antiviral activities were observed at other virus replication stages; adsorption (42% reduction at 50 µg/mL), post-adsorption (67.6% reduction at 50 µg/mL), prophylactic treatment (68.4% and 87.7% reductions at 50 µg/mL and 25 µg/mL, respectively), and direct virucidal assay (48% and 56.8% reductions at 50 µg/mL and 25 µg/mL, respectively). The KSF 103 ME inhibited dengue virus replication with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC) value of 20.3 µg/mL and an International System of Units (SI) value of 38.9. The KSF 103 ME showed potent antiviral properties against dengue virus (DENV) during the entry stage. Further studies will be needed to deduce the antiviral mechanisms of the KSF 103 ME against DENV.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how social determinants of health (SDOH) impact pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS), particularly in terms of adverse SDOH frequency and their effects on treatment and outcomes.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of data from the United States Network of Pediatric MS Centers, focusing on various demographic and clinical outcomes related to SDOH hardships.
- Findings indicated that 66% of participants faced social hardships, which influenced factors such as age at symptom onset, steroid treatment likelihood, study attrition risk, and overall health scores.

Aims: A limited number of investigations with conflicting results have described perivascular lymphocytic infiltration (PVLI) in the setting of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to determine if PVLI found in TKAs at the time of aseptic revision surgery was associated with worse clinical outcomes and survivorship.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 617 patients who underwent aseptic TKA revision who had histological analysis for PVLI at the time of surgery.
Nonrenal Systemic Arterial Calcification Predicts the Formation of Kidney Stones.

Recent data indicate that kidney stone formers (KSFs) may have increased biomineralization at anatomic sites throughout the body compared with nonstone formers (NSFs). The objective of this study is to compare the volume of nonrenal systemic calcifications between KSF and NSF by using a standardized system to analyze calcifications in the abdominal aorta (AA) and splenic artery (SA). The NSF cohort was obtained from a kidney donor's prospectively maintained database.

The molecular complexes of 2-amino-1H-benzimidazolium 2-hydroxybenzoate (2ABHB) and 2-amino-1H-benzimidazolium pyridine 2-carboxylate (2ABP2C) were synthesised from a donor 2-aminobenzimidazole (2AB), and acceptors, 2-hydroxybenzoate (2HB) and pyridine 2-carboxylic acid (P2C) respectively. The brown colour single crystals were successfully grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The densities of grown crystals 2ABHB and 2ABP2C were measured by floatation method using carbon tetrachloride and xylene as solvents.
