Herbal Frontiers: The Role of Alternative Remedies in Combating Typhoid Fevers
Abstract: Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella typhi, remains a major health challenge, particularly in developing regions where sanitation and healthcare resources are limited. With an estimated global incidence of 17 million cases annually, the disease poses a significant public health burden. The growing resistance to conventional antibiotics, such as fluoroquinolones and third-generation cephalosporins, exacerbates treatment challenges. This has spurred interest in alternative remedies, including herbal and homeopathic treatments.Herbal medicine offers a …

Molecular Docking and Pharmacokinetic Profiling of the Phytocompounds of Jatropha curcas as Antagonist for Salmonella typhi
Abstract: Background: Typhoid is an infection caused by the Gram-negative bacterium, Salmonella enterica serovar typhi. The study assessed the potential use of Jatropha curcas as a typhoid fever therapy alternative to traditional medications. The ability to uncover novel drug indications for currently available medications using in silico methods has increased thanks to the wealth of pharmacological and biological knowledge that is available. Objective: In this study, we assessed the potential inhibitory …

Antibiotic Resistance Profiles of Salmonella Isolated from Al-Gharraf River and Iraqi Sewage
Abstract: Salmonella is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. It has a rod-shaped (bacillus) structure. Salmonella is a prominent contributor to gastrointestinal sickness worldwide. In addition, it is the causative agent of more systemic severe disorders such as typhoid and paratyphoid fevers. Salmonella is primarily recognized as pathogens transmitted by water and food to people and animals. Salmonella is often found in water-related epidemics, even though it is routinely …

Breaking the Cycle: The Impact of Hygiene Deficiencies on the Health of the Poor
Abstract: Poor sanitation and hygiene present significant health risks, particularly for individuals in low- income communities. Inadequate sanitation systems increase the likelihood of exposure to harmful microorganisms found in contaminated water, food, and environments. This exposure contributes to the spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and typhoid, along with various gastrointestinal illnesses. Limited access to clean water and soap for handwashing exacerbates these risks, particularly for children, who are …

Development of an Arduino-Based Water Quality Monitoring System Using Turbidity Sensor
Abstract: Clean drinking water is essential for human health since dirty water can lead to serious diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera and typhoid and long-term diseases such as kidney damage, cancer and child development problems. Though hard water is less dangerous, it causes dry skin and kidney stones and saline water causes high blood pressure. The Water Quality Monitoring System exists as a solution against existing water safety issues. The system …
