Introduction: Efficient extraction of DNA from biological fluids is crucial for applications in molecular biology, forensic science, and clinical diagnostics. However, traditional DNA extraction methods often require costly reagents and lengthy procedures. This study aims to optimize the binding buffer composition for DNA extraction using polyethyleneimine-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (PEI-IONPs), which offer the dual benefits of magnetic separation and high DNA-binding efficiency.

- * Involving 200 newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients, the research revealed significant correlations, such as lower hemoglobin levels linked to higher CD4+ counts and lower PVL, while abnormalities in various blood parameters were more pronounced in those co-infected with HIV-TB.
- * The findings suggest that specific hematological and biochemical indicators, including hemoglobin and inflammatory markers, could serve as early warning signs for TB in HIV-infected individuals, enhancing patient management
Plastics are incredibly useful materials that have many benefits for both society and individual daily lives. However, the extensive utilization of plastic and plastic-derived products has led to plastic pollution in various environmental compartments across the world at alarming levels. Due to different biogeochemical processes, this plastic waste is broken down into tiny, omnipresent, and long-lasting fragments known as microplastics (<5 mm), which are causing great concern among scientists.

- - The study investigated the impact of genetic variations in Toll-like receptors (TLRs) on the progression of HIV disease, particularly in patients with and without tuberculosis (TB) co-infection.
- - Involving 373 HIV-positive participants over two years, the research found that 98 patients developed active TB/AIDS and had a higher frequency of the AA genotype of TLR9 compared to those who did not progress to TB/AIDS.
- - The findings suggest that HIV-positive individuals with the AA genotype of TLR9 have a higher susceptibility to developing TB during HIV disease progression.
Since ancient times, mouth fresheners in many different forms have been used throughout the world. Traditional knowledge describes the health benefits of mouth fresheners, and contemporary science is now investigating their benefits. Claims have been made that mouth fresheners not only improve digestion but also promote oral health.
