ABSTRACT Background and Aims Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health problem, and treatment progress is increasingly threatened by rising multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB). Delamanid (DLM), a nitroimidazole drug, has shown good efficacy and safety against both drug‐susceptible and drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains.

Omeprazole as a Novel Treatment Option for Giardiasis in Cats
In this study, cats with giardiasis were allocated to omeprazole, metronidazole, secnidazole or placebo groups and monitored from day 0 to 14. Omeprazole achieved a reduction in Giardia cyst shedding comparable to metronidazole and also demonstrated faster clinical improvement, indicating a potential therapeutic advantage.
