On-body non-invasive glucose monitoring sensor based on high figure of merit (FoM) surface plasmonic microwave resonator.

High-figure of merit (FoM) plasmonic microwave resonator is researched as a non-invasive on-body sensor to monitor the human body's blood glucose variation rate in adults for biomedical applications, e.g., diabetic patients.

Corrosion Resistant Coatings Based on Zinc Nanoparticles, Epoxy and Silicone Resins.

In this study, corrosion-resistant composite coatings were produced by incorporating zinc (Zn) nanoparticles in an epoxy resin and a hybrid silicone resin. While performing sodium chloride saltspray tests, the corrosion performance of the nano-composite coatings was evaluated by applying these corrosion-resistant composite coatings on a carbon steel substrate. The nano-composite coatings on the substrates were characterized by an adhesion test, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).

Hepcidin correlates with interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 but not iron deficiency in children with Helicobacter pylori infection.

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with iron deficiency (ID) in children. Inflammatory cytokine reactions could influence the consequences of H. pylori infection.
