Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting reproductive-aged women worldwide, characterized by heterogeneous clinical manifestations and diagnostic challenges. The integration of nanotechnology with diagnostic medicine has paved the way for innovative approaches aimed at improving the early detection and monitoring of PCOS. This review provides a comprehensive overvi Read More

To comprehensively understand molecular processes, it is essential to analyze how thermodynamic parameters change with temperature and composition, providing valuable insights into molecular interactions. The industry's demand for precise information on the physical and chemical characteristics of different liquid combinations underscores the importance of such research. Researchers employ an ultrasonic interfer Read More

BackgroundCurrently, aluminum (Al) cookware is frequently utilized as a container for food preparation all over the world. The migration of elements from Al cookware can pose a serious potential health hazard. However, there is a lack of information about the leaching of multi-elements from Al cookware and their behaviours. A new investigation for leaching of multi-elements from Al cookware during conventio Read More

BackgroundThe additives from container closure systems used in biopharmaceuticals, including antioxidants and vulcanizing agents, may leach into drug products during production or storage and result in patient exposure. Thus, there is an urgent demand for developing a robust and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of these additives.MethodsAn approach utilizing vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction Read More

IntroductionLeishmaniasis caused by Leishmania protozoa can be fatal if left untreated. An effective and safe human vaccine has still not been produced to eradicate the disease. Among vaccine development studies, dead vaccines are still known as the most reliable and cheapest method. The selection of an effective and safe adjuvant is important for killed vaccines. We have not found any studies in which hydroxyapatite p Read More

IntroductionEmerging contaminants are present in the water and need to be monitored and managed as they are of major environmental and health concern universally. Exposure to emerging contaminants in water sources can pose a significant risk to both aquatic species and human health. This study assessed the risks of emerging contaminants in urban and natural water sources.MethodsA high-performance liquid c Read More

BackgroundIt is well-known that essential oils are a rich source of bioactive components and are traditionally used as one of the alternatives to conventional medicines for treating various diseases and symptoms. Like other natural products, they are safe but should be used with care since all substances have potential toxicity depending on the conditions of exposure, the dose, and the route of administration.MethodsThis m Read More

IntroductionDifferent types of tobacco cultivars have been used as raw material in heated tobacco to maximize the sensory richness. However, the volatile profiles of different tobacco cultivars and their correlation with the sensory quality of heated tobacco remain unknown.MethodsIn this study, untargeted metabolomics profiling followed by partial least squares-discriminant analysis (VIP>1 and p<0.05) was performed to identify Read More

BackgroundThe corrosion of Mild Steel (MS) in harsh acidic environments, such as Hydrochloric acid (HCl), is a significant industrial issue with environmental consequences. Corrosion inhibitors, particularly those containing heteroatoms and aromatic rings, are a proven method for mitigating corrosion. Traditional methods for studying corrosion inhibitors often require resource-intensive experiments.MethodsThis stu Read More

BackgroundImplants made of titanium are significant in the orthopedic and dental fields. Strong osteointegration can only be achieved by surface modification technologies. The benefits of titanium are numerous, but its inert state prevents it from integrating with human cell's biologically. The titanium implant’s surface is crucial for osseointegration and implant success; hence this is necessary. How to apply osteoconductive co Read More

AimsThe primary objective of this study was to develop a simple, selective, sensitive, and rapid method for the determination of trace levels of Rhodamine B in different cosmetic items.BackgroundAt present, synthetic dyes in various colors are essential in cosmetic products, not only for adding pleasant scents, but also for enhancing their appeal and restoring natural colors. Rhodamine B, a pink synthetic azo dye, is widel Read More

BackgroundPolygonum hydropiper, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, contains abundant volatile components and effective ingredients such as flavonoids, exerting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial effects. The pharmacologically active components are differentially distributed in different parts of P. hydropiper. Leaf loss commonly occurs during the processing of medicinal and edible products.MethodsIn the pres Read More
