Comorbidity of Mitral Valve Stenosis with Influenza in Pregnancy, A Case Report
Adv Biomed Res. 2023 Nov 29;12:252. doi: 10.4103/abr.abr_104_23. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTIn this case, a 44-year-old pregnant woman at a gestational age of 28 weeks and 6 days with symptoms of cold, shortness of breath, and cough since a week ago. She had received remdesivir ampoule, Tamiflu tablet, meropenem and linezolid, and dexamethasone. She received oxygen through a 14-liter reservoir bag mask and hydrocortisone, heparin, and ceftriaxone. Nine hours after hospitalization, the patient suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest, resuscitation was performed, and the patient was intubated. Emergency cesarean section was done i...

Occurrence and characterization of β-lactamase-producing bacteria in biomedical wastewater and in silico enhancement of antibiotic efficacy
This study focused on the analysis of β-lactamase-producing pathogenic bacteria within untreated biomedical wastewater originating from various hospitals in Dhaka City, Bangladesh, as well as in silico evaluation and structural activity relationship mentioned antibiotics were evaluated. In silico drug design techniques were applied to identify the relationship with how the functional group impacts the binding energy. Out of the 184 isolates obtained from well-established hospital sewage discharge points in Dhaka, 89 were identified as β-lactamase positive. These bacteria were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility tes...
