The mpox (previously monkeypox) outbreak in more than 100 non-endemic countries 2022 posed a serious global health concern. Mpox is emerging as public threat from seemingly neglected disease. A42R profilin-like protein virus (PDB ID: 4QWO) could be preferred target lead. binding affinity of commonly used drugs/mAbs (tecovirimat, brincidofovir, cidofovir) for was examined silico through molecular docking. Further, the results were compared with those phytochemicals curcumin, rutin, and...
The world faces multiple public health emergencies simultaneously, such as COVID-19 and Monkeypox (mpox). mpox, from being a neglected disease, has emerged global threat that spread to more than 100 nonendemic countries, even been spreading for 3 years now. general mpox symptoms are similar chickenpox measles, thus leading possible misdiagnosis.

Among 252 participants who completed survey, 43.2% were older than 55 59% men. The ordinal regression model showed an association between PHQ-9 SDSCA scores...
Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii emerged as a threatening "superbug" with significant morbidity and mortality limited antimicrobial therapy options. The results of different antibiotic combination studies are heterogeneous controversial. Further comparative crucial to overcome such difficult-to-treat infections improve patient outcomes. This study investigates the outcomes colistin versus colistin-based for caused by in critically ill patients. A retrospective observational was...
Abstract Background Despite tremendous efforts to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections, they still remain life-threatening complications among hospitalized patients with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The emerging antibiotic-resistant bacteria other risk factors, including patient comorbidities, complicate management. Methods A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted at King Fahad Hospital of the University, Eastern Province, Saudi...
Zinc is considered an essential multipurpose trace element because of its ability to act as a cofactor and signaling molecule. As reported in earlier studies pediatric respiratory infection management, zinc exhibits potent immunoregulatory antiviral properties, but effects on patients with COVID-19 remain unknown. The aim this study was determine the extent which supplementation improves symptoms, length hospitalization and, how impacts ICU admission, in-hospital mortality, need for...
Since the World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as a pandemic, most countries started treating their patients with various therapies. However, data regarding safety and effectiveness is still lacking.
Background: Colistin is an effective therapy against multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. However, nephrotoxicity a major issue with its use.

All adult patients aged 18 years older who received colistin for ≥72 h were included study, while end-stage kidney disease requiring dialysis or had renal transplants excluded. The...
Antibiotic de-escalation (ADE) in critically ill patients is controversial. Previous studies mainly focused on mortality; however, data are lacking about superinfection. Therefore, we aimed to identify the impact of ADE versus continuation therapy superinfections rate and other outcomes patients.This was a two-center retrospective cohort study adults initiated broad-spectrum antibiotics intensive care unit (ICU) for ≥ 48 h. The primary outcome superinfection rate. Secondary included 30-day...
Post-transplant anemia (PTA) is a common serious complication following kidney transplantation. It affects graft and patient survival. Anemia that presents within six months post-transplantation defined as an early PTA.
