Multi-Disease Detection Using a Prism-Based Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor: A TMM and FEM Approach.

This research introduces a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensor with multilayered structures for telecommunication wavelength in order to detect multiple diseases. The malaria and the chikungunya viruses are taken into account and the presence of these viruses are determined by examining several blood components in healthy and affected phases. Here, two distinct configurations (Al-BTO-Al-MoS2 and Cu-BTO-Cu-MoS2) are proposed and contrasted for the detection of numerous viruses.

Removal of Toxic and Essential Nutrient Elements from Commercial Rice Brands Using Different Washing and Cooking Practices: Human Health Risk Assessment.

This study determined the influence of different cooking procedures on the removal of toxic elements (TEs) including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) along with other nutrient elements from different commercially available rice brands sold in Bangladeshi markets. We observed 33%, 35%, and 27% average removal of As, Cd, and Pb accordingly from rice when cooked with a rice to water ratio of 1:6 after washing 5 times. We also found a significant reduction in essential elements: Zn (17%), Cu (10%), Mn (22%), Se (49%), and Mo (22%), when rice cooking was performed as in traditional practice.

Seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton community and functional groups in a tropical river.

Functional classification of phytoplankton could be a valuable tool in water quality monitoring in the eutrophic riverine ecosystems. This study is novel from the Bangladeshi perspective. In this study, phytoplankton cell density and diversity were studied with particular reference to the functional groups (FGs) approach during pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon at four sampling stations in Karatoya River, Bangladesh.

Surface plasmon resonance biosensor based on hexagonal lattice dual-core photonic crystal fiber.

In this paper, the guiding properties and sensor performance are numerically investigated for a dual-core hexagonal lattice photonic crystal fiber sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Gold is used as the active plasmonic material in order to create resonance, and it is placed outside the fiber structure to facilitate the fabrication process. The finite-element method is used to numerically investigate the characteristics of the sensor.

Landmark-based morphometric and meristic variations of freshwater garfish, from four natural stocks of South-Western Bangladesh.

Objective: The morphometric and meristic variations of was studied based on the landmark-based truss network system to assess their phenotypic variations among four different freshwater stocks, . Boluhorpur , Jhenaidah (BBJ) ( = 29); Bhairab River, Jashore (BRJ) ( = 34); Arial Khan River, Madaripur (AKRM) ( = 28), and Bohnni baor, Gopalganj (BBG) ( = 25) in Bangladesh.

Materials And Methods: Seven meristic characters were counted by using a needle.

Data on prolonged morphine-induced antinociception and behavioral inhibition in older rats.

This article contains supportive data related to a research article entitled "Age-dependent antinociception and behavioral inhibition by morphine" (Paul et al., 2018) [1]. Antinociceptive latencies of 8 and 24-week old rats were obtained from tail-flick and hot plate assays after morphine treatment.

Age-dependent antinociception and behavioral inhibition by morphine.

In current clinical practice, morphine is dosed in older patients based on patient-weight, with different calculations for adjustment. However, at present, neither clinical experience nor the literature offers a clear evidence base for the relationship between antinociception, behavioral effects and morphine administration in older patients. In this study, we compared the nociceptive response of 8 and 24 week old rats after subcutaneous administration of morphine per body weight and analyzed their behavior using an advanced multi-conditioning system.

Morphine dosing strategy plays a key role in the generation and duration of the produced antinociceptive tolerance.

Antinociceptive tolerance after repetitive administration of morphine severely limits its clinical use. Despite increased mechanistic understanding of morphine tolerance, little is known about the influence of dosing regimens in its development. We hypothesized that the starting dose of morphine, dosing frequency and dose increments, influence antinociception and the manifestation of antinociceptive tolerance in rats.
