This case highlighted the tremendous improvement experience in patient with Multiple Sclerosis treated when conventional treatments were combined with PMF capsules and Camel milk drink. We therefore conclude from what is observed and suggest possible link between PMF and camel milk drink in this patient's tremendous improvement from MS. Further res...

The study was conducted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from 2020 and 2022. The identification, characterization, and evaluation of microbes found in hen eggs was done and it was found very important to prevent contamination caused by various harmful pathogenic microbes. It was found that contaminated eggs harbor various harmful microbes which affec...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a pandemic that resulted in extreme human and economic losses. A higher incidence of morbidity and mortality to COVID-19 was demonstrated in a special population. Factors that impact the disease severity include old age, obesity, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, cancer, and immunosuppressive drugs. Fortunately,...

We conducted the current analysis to determine the potential role of measles vaccination in the context of the spread of COVID-19. Data were extracted from the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Health Observatory data repository about the measles immunization coverage estimates and correlated to overall morbidity and mortality for COVID-19 a...

The rapid development of accurate and quick diagnostic tools for infectious diseases has made a massive impact in global health. POC devices for pathogen detection have primarily contributed to clinical management in various applications such as pathology, drug discovery and food safety. Diagnostic tests in isolated or remote areas were previously...

A tissue splitting device for splitting a harvested soft tissue to provide a layer of tissue having a uniform thickness and methods for transplantation using uniform layers of tissue.

We conducted the current analysis to determine the potential role of polio vaccination in the context of the spread of COVID-19. Data were extracted from the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Health Observatory data repository regarding the polio immunization coverage estimates and correlated to the overall morbidity and mortality for COVID-...

Honeybees play a vital role in the world’s food supply by acting as essential pollinators in the agricultural fields. Interestingly, more than one third of the world’s essential crops are honeybee’s dependant. The adult honeybeeworkers harbour a simple specific bacterial spectrum in their guts with vital role in bees’ health. Gut microbial diversit...

A protein undergoes many types of posttranslation modification. Citrullination is one of these modifications, where an arginine amino acid is converted to a citrulline amino acid. This process depends on catalytic enzymes such as peptidylarginine deiminase enzymes (PADs). This modification leads to a charge shift, which affects the protein structur...

ABSTRACT Background: The occurrence of dengue fever plagues has expanded significantly in the course of the most recent couple of decades. Be that as it may, no immunization or antiviral treatments are accessible. In this manner, the requirement for protected and successful antiviral medications have turned out to be essential. Aim: Methyltransfera...

Dengue, West Nile and Zika virus belongs to the family flaviviridae and genus flavivirus. It is of interest to design and develop inhibitors with improved activity against these diseases. We used the helicases target to screen for potential inhibitors against these viruses using molecular docking analysis. NS3 helicases of flavivirus family of viru...

The idea of phage therapy to treat bacterial diseases was conceived with the revelation of the bacteriophage right around a century back. After a checkered history, its present renaissance is energized by the unsafe appearance of antibiotic resistant bacteria on a worldwide scale. As a characteristic of this restored intrigue, the unanswered issues...

Dengue disease (DENV) is the purpose behind dengue fever. It is a mosquito-borne single positive-stranded RNA contamination of the family Flaviviridae; sort Flavivirus. Dengue illness is a mosquito-borne making or re-rising pathogen. Its positive sense RNA genome has a top at the 5'- end and no poly(A) tail at the 3'- end. The viral RNA encodes a s...

Transcriptomic analysis was conducted in leaves of Arabidopsis T-DNA insertion ERF109-knocked out (KO) mutant or plants overexpressing (OE) the gene to detect its role in driving expression of programmed cell death- (PCD-) or growth-related genes under high salt (200mM NaCl) stress. The analysis yielded ~22–24 million reads, of which 90% mapped to...

Although many antiviral and anticancer drugs are produced, no cure can be ensured. Many trials to produce antiviral / anticancer drugs from different sources, either synthetic or natural, could not achieve their goal. In the present study we tried to produce an antiviral / anticancer drug and data revealed that PMF derived from camel urine showed a...

Two hundred-twenty six pre-and post-kidney transplantation patients were screened for CMV. They were categorized into three groups I: Eighty-five dialysis patients suffering from chronic renal failure, II: Sixty-two end stage renal disease patients prepared for transplantation, and III: Seventy-nine post-kidney transplant patients under immunosuppr...

Background: Reports show that patients with end stage renal failure and transplants present with reduced immunity to infections especially with Hepatitis B Virus. This may make the patients respond poorly to hepatitis B vaccine with resultant poor seroconversion rate. This study examines the efficacy of hepatitis B vaccine, in chronic renal failure...

MRSA colonization and infection are widespread worldwide causing significant morbidity and economic impact. MRSA is hard due to their resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Prevention is only hope if patients to be targeted are known. We present results of surveillance to identify at-risks patients and units in a Saudi Arabia hospital in Jeddah....

Mastitis in dairy cattle is an inflammatory reaction of the udder tissue. Mastitis increases plasmin levels, leading to an increased proteolysis of milk proteins such as casein, resulting in a significant decrease in milk quality and related dairy products. Due to its key-role in mastitis, we used plasmin proteolytic activity as a biomarker for the...

HBV, a DNA virus transmitted percutaneously, sexually, and perinatally, affects 350 to 400 million persons worldwide. HBV was once considered hyper-endemic in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), where infection was acquired mainly through horizontal transmission early in life, and less commonly by vertical transmission similar to what is observed in...
