Investigation of structural, optical, antibacterial, and dielectric properties of sol-gel and biosynthesized TiO nanoparticles.

This study explored the structural, optical, antibacterial, and dielectric properties of TiO nanoparticles synthesized using two distinct approaches: sol-gel and biosynthesis. Density functional tight binding (DFTB+) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed alongside experimental techniques to gain a comprehensive understanding of the electronic-property relationships. peel extract was utilized for the biosynthesis method.

Comparative assessment of microscopy, malaria rapid diagnostic test and polymerase chain reaction as malaria diagnostic tools in Adama Woreda, East shoa zone of Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study.

Background: One of the main challenge for controlling the morbidity and mortality related to malaria is the absence of reliable treatment and precise diagnostic tools in malaria-prone regions. Despite the number of diagnostic techniques used, and inconsistent results were found from previous studies. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of 18S nested PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction),microscopy, and CarestartTMpf/pan RDT(Rapid Diagnostic Tests) as malaria diagnostic methods using Microscopy and 18S nested PCR as reference techniques.

Association between maternal dietary diversity during pregnancy and birth outcomes: evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Maternal nutrition is a key factor influencing birth and offspring health outcomes in later life. Dietary diversity (DD) is a proxy for the macro/micronutrient adequacy of an individual's diet. There is inadequate comprehensive evidence regarding maternal nutrition during pregnancy, measured through DD and birth outcomes.

Treatments for Olfactory Dysfunction in COVID-19: A Systematic Review.

 Olfactory dysfunction (OD) has emerged as a notable symptom among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, with its prevalence varying among different populations. Recognizing the need to provide therapeutic solutions for these individuals, the present study seeks to comprehensively review the current evidence on potential underlying mechanisms and treatment modalities to manage OD in COVID-19 patients.  To review the recent evidence on treatments for OD in COVID-19.
