Polymers are supermolecules or huge molecules that have a central role as an excipient in any dosage formulation. Currently the usage of polymers in drug formulation is often associated with numerous problems connected with drug release side effects and carcinogenic effects. Therefore the utilization of water-soluble polymers and polymeric nanoparticles has been favoured to minimize these types of problems. Polymers can be found in natural and synt Read More

BackgroundRice husk is an important agricultural waste that contains organic mass and bio-silica. Although some rice husks have been used as fuel animal food filler for wine fermentation and fertilizer the majority are discarded as agricultural waste which does great harm to the environment. The conversion of rice husk to silicon carbide (SiC)-based materials satisfies the demand for the reutilization of solid wastes.MethodsThe article reviews recent progr Read More

BackgroundIt has become essential to look into alternatives that effectively stop bacterial infections due to the exponential rise in antibiotic resistance. The field of nanotechnology has made significant strides in development by surmounting obstacles that have impeded success and advancement in other fields. Nanoparticles (NPs) are the key component in the burgeoning field of nanotechnology.ObjectiveCyclamen libanoticum leaf extract (CLE) was used Read More

The pharmaceutical sciences are gradually shielding mankind from a plethora of deadly but as-of-yet-undiscovered ailments. Many diseases some of which can be fatal have their initial line of defence on the skin. A significant challenge for scientists is the development of appropriate pharmacological formulations for transdermal drug administration. Low side effect risk reduces first-pass impact and good patient compliance makes transdermal distribution su Read More

BackgroundCarbon nanotube films are utilized in various fields particularly electric heating owing to their exceptional thermal and electrical properties. However quantitative research on the electrothermal characteristics of carbon nanotube film is insufficient and glass fiber-reinforced epoxy-resin composites prepared through the electrothermal method of carbon nanotube films (i.e. the out-of-autoclave technique) have not yet been reported.Material a Read More

IntroductionThe development of cost-effective and efficient catalysts plays a pivotal role in the realization of hydrogen production through electrochemical water splitting.MethodsIn this study two-dimensional NiCo2S4 nanosheets were synthesized using a hydrothermal method followed by a sulfidation process.ResultsThe resulting materials were thoroughly characterized to understand their morphology and structure. The findings indicate that th Read More

IntroductionFungal infections are growing more rapidly and becoming a public health concern worldwide. The use of herbal medicines is now increasing due to their many functional properties with fewer side effects. Emblica officinalis an important medicinal plant exhibits many therapeutic properties.MethodsIn this article the active phytoconstituents of Emblica officinalis were explored for their multitargeting activity as anti-inflammatory and antifungal by Read More

As we know the skin is part of our body which acts as a protective barrier and protects us from deleterious agents. Any damage or destruction to the skin causes a rupture of the epidermis layer of skin. These wounds may lead to many problems if untreated such as infection and inflammation which result in slowing the natural wound healing process. In recent years there have been numerous approaches and therapies available in the market. These a Read More

Mitochondria also called ‘powerhouse of the cell’ is meant for energy generation in eukaryotic cells. This action is performed by mitochondria through the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) of the respiratory chain (RC). Based on the functioning of the cell the number of mitochondria varies up to thousands in number. Mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and/or nuclear DNA (nDNA) genes may lead to the generation of primary mitochondrial dise Read More

Hygiene has been identified as an important step in anticipating health-related pollution with conflicting reports about consistent sanitation standards in the nation. This narrative review of published studies has led to the discussion of hand hygiene and health practices as well as the identification of necessary methods that are available in low and middle-income countries. An effective survey of accessible information is conducted in this way based on re Read More
