<![CDATA[The world is endangered by the COVID‐19 pandemic caused by SARS‐CoV‐2, people are dying in thousands every day, and without an actual treatment, it seems that bringing this global health problem to a quit is impossible. Natural products have been in constant use since ancient times and are proven by time to be effective. Medicinal plants from Indonesia may lead to the discovery of the novel drugs. Mangosteen or Garcinia mangostana L. is a native tropical fruit from Southeast Asia and is known to contain bioactive compounds. Interestingly, the main xanthone derivatives are alpha-mangostin and gamma-mangostin, these compounds have a variety of pharmacological activities such as antiviral activity. In summary, this study showed potential pharmacological benefits of alpha-mangostin and gamma-mangostin isolated from mangosteen against SARS-CoV-2. Thus, mangosteen exhibits as a valuable plant and a candidate for future drug development to fight SARS-CoV-2. However, further trials, such as in vitro and in vivo evaluation, are needed to prove the validity of these findings]]>

<![CDATA[This research investigates the most common urinary tract infection bacteria and their susceptibility to antibiotic disc and parsley (Aquas and methanol) extracts. The urinary tract microbial were isolated from patients of urinary tract infection (UTI) pregnant women patients from Baghdad Hospital. The pathogenic organisms were collected, cultured and identified. 50 microbial isolate wasset as, E. coli 56 (46.66%), Staphylococcus aureus19 (15.8%). Proteus mirabilis 6 (5%) and Klebsiella pneumonia3 (2.5%). The pathogenic bacterial showed various zone of sensitivity to different antibiotics. Within the parsley Antimicrobial activity ranged from 3 to 20 mm. Antibacterial activity of parsley extract (5-22) mm on UTI isolated pregnant women and methanol extracts was between (3-15) mm. Therefore, Parsley extract had a pharmacological to treat all of 50 isolates that were identify from patients. In conclusion, the findings suggested that different extractsmay content as a broad-spectrum bactericidal factor, to control the emergent pathogens any way of their drug resistance mechanismsto treat urinary tract infections]]>

<![CDATA[The term Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) encompasses all neurologic and or psychologic symptoms arising in patients with SLE after other causes have been ruled out. Cerebral vasculitis as a manifestation of NPSLE is a rare case with a very broad spectrum of clinical presentation and severity. We report a case of a female with cerebral vasculitis presenting with diplopia as its early manifestation. Diagnosing cerebral vasculitis remains challenging given that biopsy as the gold standard is an invasive procedure and may not be available in many settings. A high suspicion of diagnosis requires clinicians’ judgement in reviewing combination of detailed history taking, physical examination, neuroimaging, and other available supporting modalities.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Waterpipe and cigarette are two types of tobacco consumption, their smoking is associated with many adverse effects it has a detrimental effect on saliva and causes a reduction in salivary pH and flow rate in addition to their controversial effect on salivary IgA and lactoferrin. Materials and Methods: unstimulated saliva was collected from 84 subjects in the early morning between 8-10 am. Subjects were divided equally into three group’swaterpipe smokers, cigarette smokers, and non-smokers all of the participants are adult male aged between 25-60 years, Sandwich ELISA technique was used for detection and estimation the level of salivary IgA and lactoferrin. Result: IgA and Lactoferrin results showed significantly(p≤0.01), higher concentration in cigarette and waterpipe smokers group than nonsmokers Results also showed that Salivary flow rate(SFR) and pH was higher in the non-smoker’s group followed by waterpipe and cigarette smokers groups with a highly significant difference (p≤0.01), The correlation between Lactoferrin and salivary IgA also showed a significant (p≤0.01),moderate positive correlation in the cigarette group only. Conclusions:Smokingincrease Salivary IgA and lactoferrin concentrations while it reduces SFR and pH of saliva, a significant positive correlation was founded between lactoferrin and salivary IgA only in cigarette smokers]]>
