“…Antibiotics in the environment as an important topic has been the interest of several scientists (Abdel Rahman et al, 2011). Exploring wild flora for plants containing phytochemical compounds with significant antibacterial activity has been an extremely promising alternative (Moradi et al, 2014;Jain et al, 2010). Yet, exploitation and unwise utilization of medicinal plants could lead to their extinction, which is going to be a great loss.…”

Eryngium is the largest and most complex genus in family Apiaceae, widely employed in folk medicine as hypoglycemic, antitussive, kidney stone inhibitor, diuretic, aphrodisiac, and anti-inflammatory due to having a considerable amount of secondary metabolites and biologically active chemical compounds such as polyacetylenes, coumarins, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, triterpenoid saponins and steroids. In this study, the effects of extracting solvent, organ selection as well as the habitat of E. campestre ecotypes growing in Egypt were evaluated on its chemical profile and antimicrobial activity against six pathogens using Near-Infrared spectroscopy and HPTLC-image analysis, each combined with multivariate analysis. The results showed that different organs of the tested species showed variant metabolomic profiles, together with the geographical origin, being a less profoundly influential factor on the chemical profile; and subsequently the biological activity of the tested samples. Supervised and unsupervised pattern recognition on data of NIR and HPTLC techniques, it was possible to differentiate four clusters: two different habitats, two plant parts (Shoot and Root) as well as the five solvent fractions of each plant sample.

Purpose: The diagnosis and management of cardiac trauma and penetrating cardiac injuries pose significant challenges in emergency settings due to the rapid onset of life-threatening complications. This paper presents a narrative review to better describe the etiology, presentation, and management of penetrating cardiac trauma, offering insights and experiences related to performing emergency surgery for such cases.Methods: We compiled cases of traumatic cardiac rupture and penetrating cardiac injuries accompanied by severe hemorrhagic shock that necessitated emergency surgery. Data were collected regarding the type of injury, causative agents, specific clinical features observed during emergency admission, intraoperative parameters, and treatment outcomes.Results: Twenty-one patients (16 men, 5 women) with cardiac rupture or penetrating cardiac injuries were recorded. All patients presented in severe shock, and six cases (28.6%) experienced cardiac arrest upon arrival in the operating room. Cardiac rupture due to blunt chest trauma occurred in two cases (9.5%), and one case (4.8%) involved right atrial perforation due to complex open chest trauma. Penetrating injuries accounted for cardiac perforation in 18 cases (85.7%). Associated injuries were present in 11 cases (52.4%). The intraoperative mortality rate was 9.5%, and there was one postoperative death on the 11th day due to multiorgan failure.Conclusions: Cardiac trauma and penetrating injuries are usually fatal unless promptly diagnosed and surgically treated. The timing and rapidity of emergency surgery—often foregoing ancillary tests and administrative procedures—are critical for patient survival. Emergency sternotomy, swift control of bleeding, and aggressive resuscitation are essential operative measures in saving lives. Factors that influence prognosis include the extent of blood loss, duration of cardiac arrest, acid-base imbalances, coagulopathy, multiorgan failure, and postoperative infections.
