In this article, the authors investigate the RNA expression differences between groups of chronic cocaine abusers and drug-free subjects.

Patel et al. explore whether T. paniculatum plant extract can work with modern antibiotics to increase antibiotic efficacy against common disease-causing bacteria. The plant extract in conjunction with the antibiotic shows promise in battling S. aureus. The authors present a cost-effective method to increase antibiotic efficacy in a time where antibiotic resistant bacteria is becoming a growing problem.

In this study, preparations of ginger were tested for an effect on the growth of four common bacterial species.

The authors studied bacterial contamination of the New York City transit system, as well as the effectiveness of hand washing and hand sanitizer.

The authors test the effects of pH level on different kinds of dental cement to model the long-term effects of reflux-induced stomach acid exposure.

The authors looked at how the presence of difference antibiotic resistance genes would influence antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.

The authors looked at the ability of berberine in combination with melatonin to have anticancer effects when tested in an in vitro cell model.

Arrhythmias vary in type and treatment, and ECGs are used to detect them, though human interpretation can be inconsistent. The researchers tested four tree-based algorithms (gradient boosting, random forest, decision tree, and extra trees) on ECG data from over 10,000 patients.

The authors use known Parkinson's disease-associated genetic variants to compare the prevalence of sleep dysfunction between males and females diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

This article explores the potential of piperine, a bioenhancer from black pepper, to improve antibiotic efficacy against antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. By combining piperine with ampicillin-sulbactam, the study demonstrated a significant reduction in bacterial growth for most strains tested, showcasing the promise of bioenhancers in combating resistant pathogens. This research highlights the possibility of reducing the required antibiotic dosage, potentially offering a new strategy in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria.
