Role of W.A.R. Score in Predicting Wound Infection
Abstract: In clinical practice, chronic wounds are a major difficulty that are frequently made worse by the infection risk. However, the lack of precise standards for evaluating the risk of infection and establishing the need for and length of time for systemic antibiotics leads to the overuse and abuse of these drugs, which increases the risk of side effects and the development of antibiotic resistance. To close this gap, the development …

A Short-term Evaluation of Limb Reconstruction System as a Primary and Definitive Mode of Management in Fresh Open Fracture in Both Bones of Leg
Abstract: Open fractures require immediate surgical intervention, emphasizing prompt intravenous antibiotic therapy, irrigation, and debridement to minimize infection risks. The Limb Reconstruction System (LRS), which includes Shanz pins, rail rods, and sliding clamps, operates as a single-plane, one-sided rail system. This system provides strong fracture fixation, allows for early weight-bearing, and helps minimize costs. Challenges arise in tibial open fractures due to substantial soft tissue damage and bone loss, often resulting …

In-Silico Repurposing of Antipsychotic Drugs Against Novel Protein Targets in Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Abstract: Multidrug-resistant TB is a growing worldwide health concern, particularly in high-burden areas. Resistance to frontline drugs like isoniazid and rifampicin is caused by mutations in key Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins. Given the difficulty of developing new antibiotics, medication repurposing offers a good alternative. The potential use of molecular docking to target resistance-associated TB proteins with FDA-approved antipsychotic drugs is investigated in this work. Three proteins were selected: InhA (PDB ID: 5W07), …
