Article Synopsis
  • - Cyanide compounds like sodium cyanide (NaCN) and potassium cyanide (KCN) are highly toxic, posing environmental and security risks, necessitating effective detection methods.
  • - The proposed detection method uses a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensor designed specifically for terahertz frequencies, achieving high detection rates of 99.62% for NaCN and 99.08% for KCN.
  • - This sensor shows excellent sensitivity, allowing for the detection of these hazardous substances at low concentrations, making it suitable for real-time monitoring in critical situations.

In this article, we have presented a new cancer sensor with a square core Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) to detect the cancerous tissues of the cervix, breast, and skin. This process is thus streamlined and separated by PCF due to its excellent detection characteristics. All required configurations using the finite element method are developed, and various performances of the model are studied using MATLAB.

Background: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is among the vital pro-inflammatory cytokines that potentially exerts a significant influence on the immune response, hence potentially regulating the advancement of cervical lesions.

Objective: Our study objective was to examine the relationship between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1799724 and rs1800629) of TNF-α and the risk of cervical cancer in women from Bangladesh.

Methods: We recruited 133 patients with cervical cancer and 126 healthy individuals for this study.

In today's medical research, breast cancer is a severe problem, so it is imperative to develop a reliable and efficient approach for identifying cancerous breast cells. PCF, with its exceptional sense-making abilities, simplifies and distinguishes that procedure. The research presents a unique structural hybrid PCF for detecting breast cancer cells using sensors based on PCF that are specifically built for the terahertz-frequency range.

Background: Cardiomyocyte growth is coupled with active protein synthesis, which is one of the basic biological processes in living cells. However, it is unclear whether the unfolded protein response transducers and effectors directly take part in the control of protein synthesis. The connection between critical functions of the unfolded protein response in cellular physiology and requirements of multiple processes for cell growth prompted us to investigate the role of the unfolded protein response in cell growth and underlying molecular mechanisms.
