Edwin Chadwick: A Pioneer of Public Health Reform and His Role in Sanitary Awakening.

Edwin Chadwick (1800-1890) was a central figure in the 19th-century public health reform movement in Britain. His work was instrumental in the sanitary awakening, a movement that revolutionized public health through the systematic improvement of urban sanitation and hygiene. As a lawyer by training, Chadwick was deeply influenced by Jeremy Bentham's welfare maximization theory, which emphasized the greatest good for the greatest number.

Pylore Krishnaier Rajagopalan: Pioneer in Kyasanur Forest Disease Research and His Contributions to Zoonotic Disease Studies.

Pylore Krishnaier Rajagopalan was a distinguished public health expert who made significant breakthroughs in the research of Kyasanur forest disease (KFD), a prevalent tick-borne viral ailment in South India. His extensive research on KFD provided vital insights into the impact of the disease on public health and considerably advanced our knowledge of it. Rajagopalan's work also encompasses the study of zoonotic diseases, where he made substantial contributions to our understanding of their epidemiology and control.

Edward Jenner: The Pioneer of Vaccination and His Enduring Legacy in Modern Medicine.

Edward Jenner's work in the latter part of the 18th century laid the groundwork for contemporary vaccination techniques and represented a crucial moment in the battle against contagious diseases. Born in 1749 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, Jenner received early medical training under the guidance of John Hunter, a distinguished British surgeon. Although variolation offered some immunity to smallpox, it was a hazardous procedure that could result in severe illness or even death.

A comparative study of in vivo toxicity in zebrafish embryos synthesized CuO nanoparticles characterized from Salacia reticulata.

The Salacia reticulata, a medicinal woody climbing shrub, was utilized for our study, the green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles, which were analyzed through SEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD, and UV‒Vis spectroscopy. This study assessed the toxicity to zebrafish embryos and explored the antibacterial, cytotoxic, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory properties of the synthesized nanoparticles. In results, the UV absorption of the CuO NPs showed that the intensity of nanoparticle green colloidal suspension changed from blue to green, which also confirmed that the spectrum of the green CuO NPs changed from colorless to black.

Exploring Tumor-Promoting Qualities of Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts and Innovative Drug Discovery Strategies With Emphasis on Thymoquinone.

Tumor epithelial development and chemoresistance are highly promoted by the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is mostly made up of the cancer stroma. This is due to several causes. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) stand out among them as being essential for the promotion of tumors.

Consumer awareness and perceptions about e-waste management in semi-urban area of northern Tamil Nadu: A mixed-method approach.

Background: The increased use of electronic devices has caused a rise in the generation of e-waste, which is detrimental to the environment and human health. This study aimed to assess consumer awareness, perception, and disposal methods of e-waste management and its determinants in a semi-urban area of northern Tamil Nadu.

Materials And Methods: It was a mixed-method approach using a sequential explanatory technique with both quantitative and qualitative methods in adult e-consumers.

Infection, reinfection, and postvaccination incidence of SARS-CoV-2 and associated risks in healthcare workers in Tamil Nadu: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: The study was conducted in response to the need to understand the incidence of SARS-CoV2 infection and its determinants in healthcare workers (HCWs) and describe the epidemiology and presentation of reinfection cases. Also, we intended to determine the incidence of post-vaccination infections among health care workers as well as the contributing factors.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort design was used to quantify the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection among HCWs.
