<p>Background: Fumaria capreolata has been used in North African traditional medicine for its gastrointestinal benefits and anti-inflammatory effects.<br />Objective: This study explores the intestinal anti-inflammatory effects of total alkaloids extracted from the aerial parts of Fumaria capreolata (AFC) against acetic acid-induced experimental colitis in mice.<br />Methods: Intestinal anti-inflammatory effects of AFC (6.25, 12.5, and 25 mg/kg) were evaluated using the acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis model in male NMRI mice. Colonic damage was assessed through colitis parameters and histological analysis of the colon.<br />Results: This study demonstrated that pre-treatment with AFC alleviates intestinal damage and clinical symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Histological analysis revealed that AFC helped preserve the integrity of the intestinal barrier. This finding was further supported by the colonic weight/length (W/L) ratio calculations.<br />Conclusion: AFC demonstrates potential as a promising candidate for preventing inflammatory diseases, such as colitis.</p> <p>How to cite this article:<br />Bribi N, Merakeb M S, Afenai S.

<p>Trehalose 6,6’-dimycolate (TDM), or cord factor, is a glycolipid in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a key determinant of its virulence. The case report highlights rare detection of cord factor in a 41-year-old female diagnosed with schizophrenia and pulmonary tuberculosis. The patient had typical symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis and tested positive for acid fast bacilli through Ziehl– Neelsen staining as well as presence of cord. Cord factor may serve as a virulence factor which enables the bacteria to evade immune defense mechanism by inhibiting phagosome-lysosome fusion. The patient was referred for tuberculosis treatment to the nearest DOT center. The patient did not come back for follow-up, highlighting challenges in managing tuberculosis in psychiatric patients.</p> <p>How to cite this article: <br />Ahmed I, Kalita J M, Hazarika J.
