A ten-day course of karsil (silimarin, legalon) or silibor therapy improved the absorption (as indicated by ueviridin test) and oxidative-antitoxic (as shown by antipyrine test) hepatocyte functions in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with hepatosis. A similar ten-day course of Liv-52 did not change the studied liver parameters. Inducto-thermal exposure of the splenic area (a 20 min session daily for 5 days) improved the absorption and antitoxic functions of the liver in diabetics. A positive effect of splenic inductothermia persisted for at least two weeks. The peak values of ultrasonic amplitude histogram of the liver reflect the time course of liver status in the course of karsil and silibor therapy and splenic inducto-thermal exposure.

Mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergetics in Alzheimer's induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons.
Brain
November 2024
Department of Neuroscience, Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology, Jupiter, FL 33458 USA.
Mitochondrial (MT) dysfunction is a hallmark of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), but the scope and severity of these specific deficits across forms of AD are not well characterized. We designed a high-throughput, longitudinal, phenotypic assay to track MT dynamics and bioenergetics in glutamatergic iPSC-derived human neurons possessing mutations in presenilin 1 (PSEN1), presenilin 2 (PSEN2) and the amyloid beta precursor protein (APP). Each gene set was comprised of iPSC-derived neurons from an AD patient as well as two to three engineered mutations with appropriate isogenic and age matched controls.

Eur J Case Rep Intern Med
August 2024
Department of Pulmonary Critical Care Medicine, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses Legionella infection, which can cause severe health issues ranging from mild flu-like symptoms to serious conditions like pneumonia and multi-organ failure, and may also be linked to rare blood disorders like immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
- A case study is presented of a 53-year-old man who showed symptoms of pneumonia and severe low platelet count, which was later diagnosed as Legionella infection after positive urine antigen tests.
- It emphasizes the importance of recognizing Legionella as a potential cause in patients with pneumonia and significant thrombocytopenia, as early detection can improve patient outcomes and prevent severe complications.
Utilization of broad- versus narrow-spectrum antibiotics for the treatment of outpatient community-acquired pneumonia among adults in the United States.
Pharmacoepidemiol Drug Saf
April 2024
Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how antibiotics are prescribed for outpatient community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in U.S. adults, finding that broad-spectrum antibiotics are still frequently used despite guidelines recommending otherwise.
- From 2008 to 2019, the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics decreased significantly among both healthy patients and those with comorbidities, but more than a third of each group still received them.
- Factors such as age, geographic region, and healthcare provider specialty influenced the prescription patterns of these antibiotics.
Ten- vs. 14-day antibiotic therapy for culture-positive neonatal sepsis.
J Trop Pediatr
October 2023
Department of Pediatrics, Burdwan Medical College, Burdwan 713104, West Bengal, India.
Background: Neonatal sepsis is a major determinant of neonatal mortality. There is a scarcity of evidence-based guidelines for the duration of antibiotics in culture-positive sepsis.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of 10- and 14-day antibiotic therapies in the management of culture-positive neonatal sepsis.
Ten-Day Vonoprazan-Amoxicillin Dual Therapy vs Standard 14-Day Bismuth-Based Quadruple Therapy for First-Line Helicobacter pylori Eradication: A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial.

Department of Gastroenterology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Introduction: Whether 10-day short-course vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy (VA-dual) is noninferior to the standard 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy (B-quadruple) against Helicobacter pylori eradication has not been determined. This trial aimed to compare the eradication rate, adverse events, and compliance of 10-day VA-dual regimen with standard 14-day B-quadruple regimen as first-line H. pylori treatment.
