Background: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the leading causes of skin infections. The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance has become a major challenge in the management of these infections. Pineapple core (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.), an agricultural by-product containing bioactive compounds, is a promising candidate for topical phytopharmaceutical development because of its antibact…
Background: Acrochordon is a benign fibroepithelial skin tumor commonly found in intertriginous areas and thought to be associated with insulin resistance (IR). Hyperinsulinemia resulting from IR contributes to fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation through activation of the insulin-like growth factor-1 signaling pathway. The homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is a …
ABSTRACT Background: Lumbar spinal stenosis is a degenerative condition characterized by narrowing of the spinal canal, leading to pain and neurological deficits. Inflammatory processes are thought to play a key role in its pathogenesis, with increased levels of inflammatory mediators such as C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Interleukin-1β (IL-1β). However, the correlation between these biomarker…
