Prevalence of Multidrug Resistance in University Hospital Environment.

is a significant pathogen and a major contributor to healthcare-associated infections, particularly in intensive care units. Its high potential for developing multiple drug resistance (MDR) makes it a challenging pathogen to manage. This study investigates the prevalence and resistance patterns of MDR isolates over a six-year period at a university hospital in Southern Italy.

Nanoparticles as a novel key driver for the isolation and detection of circulating tumour cells.

Circulating tumour cells (CTCs), derived from primary tumours, play a pivotal role in cancer metastasis by migrating into the peripheral bloodstream. These cells are paramount in clinical research, serving as early diagnostic markers for metastatic cancer. Analysing CTC counts and their biomarker characteristics can provide invaluable insights into tumour identification, profiling, and metastatic capabilities.

The Metabolic Role of Ketogenic Diets in Treating Epilepsy.

Epilepsy is a long-term neurological condition that results in recurrent seizures. Approximately 30% of patients with epilepsy have drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). The ketogenic diet (KD) is considered an effective alternative treatment for epileptic patients.

Biogenic Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using and Its Cytotoxicity Effect on Vero Cell Lines.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a chronic and sometimes fatal condition which affects people all over the world. Nanotherapeutics have shown tremendous potential to combat chronic diseases—including DM2—as they enhance the overall impact of drugs on biological systems. Greenly synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from Catharanthus roseus methanolic extract (C.
