Antidepressants, antipsychotics, anti-anxiety drugs, or sleeping pills are most often used to treat autism spectrum disorders. The treatment thus focuses on the manifestations accompanying autism, such as inattention, irritability, or sleep disorders, but does not address the essence of the social deficits of autistic children. In addition, drug treatment is often poorly tolerated. Since a certain association of autism with gut microbiota dysbiosis has been demonstrated, and given the existence of the microbiota-gut-brain axis, it can be assumed that modulation of the gut microbiota could contribute to the treatment of the essence of some Autism Spectrum...

MMSL X:X | DOI: 10.31482/mmsl.2025.008
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have introduced powerful tools for machine translation (MT) and automated language proofreading (ALP) into academic publishing. However, their evaluation in highly specialized fields such as medicine and pharmacy remains methodologically underexplored. This study presents a multidimensional evaluation framework that integrates human expert judgment with AI-based replication to assess the quality of AI-generated translations and proofreading outputs. The framework covers three quality dimensions applicable to both MT and ALP: semantic fidelity, terminological accuracy and consistency, and grammatical correctness...

In 2025, we commemorated the 50th anniversary of the ratification of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction (Biological Weapons Convention, BWC). By 2025, 189 countries had signed the treaty, including the four original signatory states. However, research on microorganisms or their products – toxins – that can be misused for military or terrorist purposes is still being carried out in military facilities in many countries. For this reason, constant attention should be paid to the issues related to the individual...

Background and Purpose: Different oak species (Quercus spp.) are widely distributed in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. The oak plant and its fruit hull have considerable antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects with important potential to be applied in wound healing products.Methods: The systematic review of documents and manuscripts from clinical trials, and scientific societies has been carried out. The surveys of interest were indexed in “PubMed”, “Web of Science”, “SciFinder”, and “Elsevier”. As a research strategy to carry out this review, two reviewers were responsible for...
