These infections can worsen the clinical outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 patients, resulting in prolonged hospital stays, the need for mechanical ventilation, and higher mortality rates. Additionally, weakened immune systems due to viral infections can also make individuals more ...

The spectrum of clinico-morphological ranges that can be observed with sarcoptic nodules is broad, and most of the entity’s criteria can be elicited histopathologically and pathologically. The management of such nodules may be a challenge. They are commonly treated through local application of corticosteroids or injection of corticosteroids to nodules but the response to treatment is less than clent and relapses are very frequent. Th...

...uNPs showed a UV-visible spectrum at 562 nm, a zeta potential of 90mV, and a particle size of 48nm. The XRD revealed a crystalline nature of the particles, and the SEM showed regular spherical nanoparticles. The study also showed that clove oil and salicylic acid had similar results but to a lesser extent and with non-significant findings. The outcomes suggest that SaAuNPs could be an encouraging alternative approach for the treatment of psoriasis, which can b...

The fluorescent white light served as control. The tissue culture seedlings were grown in simple light and transplanted about 0.1 cm long into a solid culture medium. The plants were subjected to various LED spectra for a durat...

...imal and human. The host spectrum of the mpox virus allowed evolutionary adaptation to a newer clade (Clade 1b) which appear to be more pathogenic and transmissible. While similar to smallpox virus, mpox virus was first reported in human during 1970 and since then remained endemic in Africa. First time in 2022, numerous cases were reported in various parts of Africa, as well as in the Northern and Western Hemispheres. Given the wider spread, changing dynamics ...

On commercial poultry farms in Indonesia, the combination of enrofloxacin and tylosin Tylosin and enrofloxacin are often used together as they have a synergistic action against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. However, overuse of ...

First, 800 internal organs (heart, liver, intestine, and yolk sac) were collected from 200 infected broilers to genetically analyze their recovered Salmonella antimicrobial resistant genes. Ten isolates of Salmonella were recovered: two (20%) for each S. enterica serovar Grampian, S. enterica serovar Kentucky, and S. enterica serovar Blegda...

Using CCK-8 assay kit, we showed that lathyrol reduced the cell viability of Hep-3B, MHCC97-L, A2780 and taxol resistant Hey-T30 cells in a dose-dependent fashion. Using Molecular docking study, we found that lathyrol exhibits strong binding interactions with STAT3 DNA binding domain through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with various amino ...
