Bacterial contamination in neonatal intensive care units in Misurata, Libya: analysis of causative organisms, biofilm formation, and antimicrobial susceptibility

by Gamal A. Salem,

European Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. 2024; 1 (2): 66-74 - https://dx.doi.org/10.5455/EJMID.20240604123813

ABSTRACT: Abstract Background: Intensive care units (ICUs) play a critical role in treating life-threatening conditions. The presence of bacteria on objects and instruments in ICUs is a significant cause of hospital-acquired infections. Aim: This study aimed to assess the level of bacterial contamination on objects and instruments frequently touched by healthcare workers (HCWs) and in contact with neonates. Resistance profile and biofilm producibility were also measured. Methods: A total of 150 swabs were collected from various surfaces in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU) of three hospitals in the city of Misurata, Libya. [...]   Read more

Veterinary Drug Use Pattern in livestock and Its Public Health Significance, Gondar, North West Ethiopia

by Teklu Yitbarek Mekoya,

Journal of Research in Veterinary Sciences. 2024; 3 (2): 65-75 - https://dx.doi.org/10.5455/JRVS.20240524041241

ABSTRACT: Background: Medicines in livestock production are certain as they are essential for the treatment or prevention of diseases, and the improvement of growth and productivity. Medicine use is rational when patients receive the appropriate medicines, the right doses, for an adequate period, and at the lowest cost. When one or more of these conditions is not met we call it irrational use which causes ineffective treatment, unnecessary waste of resources, and harm to patients; also residues cause public health issues (resistance, allergy, toxicity, and disturb normal gut microbiome) when used [...]   Read more

A review on Oxidative Stress and Its Implications in Pregnancy

by Sulaimon Olayiwola Folami, Emmanuel Anyachukwu Irondi,

Journal of Biological Research and Reviews. 2024; 1 (3): 120-130 - https://dx.doi.org/10.5455/JBRR.20240627102210

ABSTRACT: Abstract: In the past decade, oxidative stress, characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the body's antioxidant defenses, has emerged as a pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of various pregnancy complications. This condition poses significant clinical challenges, impacting maternal and fetal health. This review aims to comprehensively explore the clinical and biological implications of oxidative stress during pregnancy. It investigates how oxidative stress influences pregnancy outcomes, emphasizing its relevance in prenatal care and management. A rigorous literature review encompassed peer-reviewed journals, clinical studies, and meta-analyses examining oxidative [...]   Read more

Toxicity Profile and Reincarnation of Antioxidant Activity of Annona squamosa L (Sugar apple) Ethanol Leaves Extract in Wistar Albino rats

by Sulaimon Olayiwola Folami, Fatai O. Salaudeen, Ismail Adetayo Lawal, Abiodun Sebioniga Lawal, Muhammad Fawaz Abubakar,

Journal of Experimental and Laboratory Medicine. 2024; 1 (1): 8-15 - https://dx.doi.org/10.5455/JELM.20240702114534

ABSTRACT: Abstract The toxicity profile and antioxidant properties of natural compounds from plants like Annona squamosa L. (Sugar apple) have garnered significant research interest due to their potential health benefits, as antioxidants are crucial in combating oxidative stress, which is implicated in various diseases.This study investigates the Annona squamosa L ethanol leaf extract (ASELE) in Wistar Albino rats to elucidate its toxicity profile and its ability to reincarnate antioxidant activity. Phytochemical screening was conducted using specified reagents, confirming the presence of bioactive secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, phenols and [...]   Read more

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Coxiella burnetii Infection in Cattle Slaughtered at the Sokoto Main Abattoir, Nigeria

by Zaid Shehu, Faleke Olufemi, Usman Garba Rambo, Abdulkadir Usman Junaidu, Aminu Alhaji Muhammad,

Journal of Research in Veterinary Sciences. 2024; 3 (2): 65-71 - https://dx.doi.org/10.5455/JRVS.20240611092114

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to detect C. burnetii antibodies and active C. burnetii infection in cattle slaughtered at the Sokoto main abattoir. 184 serum samples (121 from males and 63 from females) were systematically obtained and analyzed using a C. burnetii indirect ELISA kit obtained from ID.vet Innovative Diagnostics Grabels, France. The test was carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The microplates were read at 450 nm using a plate reader. Seropositive samples were further analyzed for the molecular identification of the organism, involving DNA extraction, DNA amplification by polymerase [...]   Read more

Etiologic factors and imaging features of cytotoxic lesions of the corps callosum (Cloccs): A series of 5 patients

by Imane Mahdar, Maimouna Banao, Kenza Fathellah, Aicha Merzem, Belgadir Hasna, Nadia Moussali, Naima Elbenna,

American Journal of Diagnostic Imaging. 2024; 10 (2): 53-57 - https://dx.doi.org/10.5455/ajdi.20240309025956

ABSTRACT: Cytotoxic Lesions of the Corpus Callosum (CLOCCS) are secondary lesions associated with various etiologies, including trauma, infection, and metabolic disorders. Recognizing these lesions is crucial as they can mimic primary callosal lesions such as ischemia. This retrospective study presents a series of five patients with CLOCCS, evaluating their clinical and radiological characteristics over a one-year period. Imaging, particularly MRI, plays a pivotal role in diagnosis, with diffusion-weighted sequences revealing characteristic features of cytotoxic edema. Clinical context, additional imaging findings, and patient history aid in distinguishing CLOCCS from other pathologies. The [...]   Read more

Microbial Spoilage Organisms in Seafood Products: Pathogens and Quality Control

by Youssef Salama, Mohammed Chennaoui,

European Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. 2024; 1 (2): 66-89 - https://dx.doi.org/10.5455/EJMID.20240518114533

ABSTRACT: Consuming contaminated seafood can lead to various bacterial illnesses, either from contamination at the source or during processing and distribution. These illnesses can result from bacterial infection or the ingestion of toxins formed in the food before consumption. However, the distinction between the two causes is not always straightforward. For instance, toxins from Clostridium botulinum and Staphylococcus aureus are preformed in food during bacterial growth, while the toxin from Clostridium perfringens is usually formed when the bacteria sporulate in the intestinal tract. Moreover, the toxin from Vibrio cholerae O1 (and [...]   Read more

Prevalence, Public Health and Socioeconomic Importance of Infectious Diseases Abortion in Cattle in Africa 2007–2022

by Balemual Abebaw Adimasie,

Journal of Research in Veterinary Sciences. 2024; 3 (2): 56-64 - https://dx.doi.org/10.5455/JRVS.20240531070324

ABSTRACT: Abortion is the main cause of production loss in dairy husbandry systems and has a significant negative impact on the reproductive efficiency of dairy cows. In several African countries, especially in West and East Africa, the risk of zoonotic diseases is high. The causative agents of abortion in cattle include bacterial, viral, protozoans, and fungus.Bovine viral diarrhea, Trichomonas fetus, Brucella abortus, and Aspergillus fumigatus are the most common, with high rates of abortion or persistent infection. The prevalence of brucellosis, leptospirosis, bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), and Q fever in different [...]   Read more
