TL;DR: To map the global distribution of fasciolosis in different areas of the world to identify the endemic regions which may be a source of potential disease outbreak, the published data during 2000-2015 (15 years) was reviewed and collected by electronic literature search of four databases including Google, PubMed, Science Direct, and Web of Science.

TL;DR: Conclusively, green synthesized NiO-NPs are impending activists to resolve drug resistance as well as environment friendly catalytic agent that may be opted at industrial scale.
Abstract: Phyto-synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) having reduced chemical toxicity have been focused globally and become essential component of nanotechnology recently. We prepared green phytochemically (ginger and garlic) reduced NiO-NPs to replace synthetic bactericidal and catalytic agent in textile industry. NPs were characterized using ultra-violet visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The synthesis of NPs was confirmed by XRD and UV-Vis having strong absorption at 350 nm with size ranged between 16–52 nm for ginger and 11–59 nm for garlic. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy confirmed pleomorphism with cubic- and more spherical-shaped NPs. Moreover, exact quantities of garlic and ginger extracts (1:3.6 ml) incorporated to synthesize NiO-NPs have been successfully confirmed by FTIR. Phytochemically reduced NPs by garlic presented enhanced bactericidal activity against multiple drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at increasing concentrations (0.5, 1.0 mg/50 μl) and also degraded methylene blue (MB) dye efficiently. Conclusively, green synthesized NiO-NPs are impending activists to resolve drug resistance as well as environment friendly catalytic agent that may be opted at industrial scale.

TL;DR: HbA1c was found to be a predictor of hypercholesterolemia, LDL-C and TG via a linear regression analysis and thus early diagnosis of dyslipidemia can be used as a preventive measure for the development of CVD in patients with T2DM.
Abstract: Background:Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have an increased prevalence of dyslipidemia, which contributes to their high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This study is an attempt to det...

TL;DR: Uniform prevalence of MRSA in cattle and buffalo milk in study area is found having assumed risk factors positively associated with disease spread, while Ciprofloxcin, Moxifloxacin, Linezolid, and Trimethoprim plus Sulphamethoxazole drugs showed the highest efficacy to combat this pathogen.

TL;DR: Albendazole sulphoxide is the most effective drug against these helminthes in sheep in Lahore, Pakistan.
Abstract: The present study was carried out to find out the infection rate of gastrointestinal tract helminthiasis and its association with diarrhoea in sheep in Lahore, Pakistan. For this purpose, 300 faecal samples from sheep suffering from diarrhoea presented at the Outdoor Hospital, Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery (CMS) and various private and government veterinary hospitals located in Lahore were collected and examined coprologically for the presence of helminthes. Overall infection rate of GIT helminthes in sheep was 70.67%. Infection rate of nematodes was higher (50.67%) than trematodes (18.67%) and cestodes (1.34%).The efficacy of albendazole sulphoxide was 67%, 90% and 98% at day 3, 7 and 14, respectively, while the efficacy of albendazole was 47%, 88% and 96% at day 3, 7 and 14, respectively. Lowest efficacy of Garlic powder 8%, 16% and 21% at day 3, 7 and 14, respectively was observed. It may be concluded that albendazole sulphoxide is the most effective drug against these helminthes in sheep.

TL;DR: This Secret History documentary follows experts as they pick through the evidence and reveal why the plague killed on such a scale, and what might be coming next.
Abstract: Secret History: Return of the Black Death Channel 4, 7-8pm In 1348 the Black Death swept through London, killing people within days of the appearance of their first symptoms. Exactly how many died, and why, has long been a mystery. This Secret History documentary follows experts as they pick through the evidence and reveal why the plague killed on such a scale. And they ask, what might be coming next?

TL;DR: High-dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg daily for 5 days) and PE are equally effective in intermediate and severe forms and the choice between the two treatments depends on their respective contra-indications and local availability.
Abstract: L'incidence annuelle du syndrome de Guillain-Barre est de 1,5/100000 habitants La mortalite actuelle est estimee a environ 5 % d'apres des essais therapeutiques recents, bien conduits Dix pour cent des malades gardent des sequelles motrices tres invalidantes un an apres le debut des premiers signes neurologiques La prise en charge de ces malades necessite des equipes entrainees, multidisciplinaires, pouvant pratiquer l'ensemble des therapeutiques specifiques La corticotherapie per os'ou par voie intraveineuse est inefficace Les echanges plasmatiques sont le premier traitement dont l'efficacite a ete demontree par rapport a un groupe controle Les indications sont maintenant mieux connues Les formes benignes (marche possible) beneficient de 2 echanges plasmatiques; 2 echanges supplementaires sont realises en cas d'aggravation Dans les formes intermediaires (marche impossible) et les formes severes (recours a la ventilation mecanique), 4 echanges plasmatiques sont conseilles Il n'est pas utile d'augmenter leur nombre dans les formes severes ou en cas d'absence d'amelioration De fortes doses d'immunoglobulines donnees par voie intraveineuse (lq IV) [0,4 g/kg/j pendant 5 jours] sont aussi efficaces que les echanges plasmatiques dans les formes intermediaires et severes Dans ces formes, le choix entre Ig IV et echanges plasmatiques depend des contre-indications respectives de ces traitements et de leur faisabilite Les travaux en cours ont comme objectif de mieux preciser les indications respectives des echanges plasmatiques et des lq IV dans des formes de gravite differente, leur morbidite comparee, la dose optimale des lq IV

TL;DR: In 1915 some Japanese Investigators associated a slender coiled oigan with a severe febrile attack, usually accompanied by jaundice, that occurred in both cPiclemic and sporadic form in Japan, this 0rganism they recovered from the blood and patients during life, and from the kidneys post mortem.
Abstract: Asevere type of jaundice that appeared in epidemic form was described by Adolf W eil of " eisbaden in 1880, and from this time for some years there was a tendency to refer to all cases ? severe jaundice that appeared in epidemic !?nn as Weil's disease. In 1915 some Japanese Investigators associated a slender coiled oiganwith a severe febrile attack, usually accompanied by jaundice, that occurred in both cPiclemic and sporadic form in Japan, this 0rganism they recovered from the blood and **** ^ Patients during life, and from the livci 'n(> kidneys post mortem.
