In recent years, plague has re-emerged in several countries around the world and remains endemic in some regions. In a natural environment and in contact with rodents and their fleas, stray carnivores are most at risk of catching the disease and maintaining the spread of the bacillus. The present study aimed to demonstrate the presence or absence of in stray dogs and cats in the Algiers region by molecular methods and thus determine their role in epidemiology of this disease.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a life-threatening ischemic disease and is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Punicalagin (PU), the major ellagitannin found in pomegranates, is characterized by multiple antioxidant activities. The aim of this study is to assess the protective effects of PU against isoproterenol (ISO)-induced acute myocardial damage and to investigate its underlying vascular mechanisms using rat model.

Article Synopsis
  • The diabetic foot (DF) poses significant public health concerns, with infections being a primary cause of amputations among patients, particularly those with type 2 diabetes.
  • A study analyzed 150 patients over two years, revealing that common foot lesions often stem from inter-toe irritation and trauma, with infectious lesions leading the complications.
  • Findings highlighted a prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria, primarily Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with a critical focus on antibiotic resistance; effective management remains inadequate, emphasizing the importance of preventive care.

Metformin regulates TRPM6, a potential explanation for magnesium imbalance in type 2 diabetes patients.

Can J Physiol Pharmacol

June 2020

Department of Physiology, Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

Metformin therapy is associated with lower serum magnesium (Mg) levels in type 2 diabetes patients. The TRPM6 channel determines the fine-tuning of Mg (re)absorption in intestine and kidney. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the short- and long-term effects of metformin on TRPM6.
