An electrochemical immunosensor based on a nano-ceria integrated microfluidic chip for interleukin-8 biomarker detection.

Interleukin-8 (IL8) is an important cytokine that plays a significant role in tumor growth and angiogenesis across various malignant tumors, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). It is an important biomarker for oral cancer; therefore, its early and accurate detection in bodily fluid reduces morbidity and mortality rates in cancer patients. The work presents the development of a label-free microfluidic miniaturized electrochemical immunosensor for IL8 biomarker detection at low concentration in saliva samples.

Harnessing the UiO-67 metal-organic framework for advanced detection of cadmium ions in water bodies.

Heavy metal ions are hazardous pollutants that pose serious threats to ecosystems and human health, making it imperative to detect and monitor their presence in water for environmental protection. This paper highlights the synthesis of the UiO-67 Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) without any dopants, offering a novel approach specifically for the detection of cadmium ions (Cd) in aqueous environments. Following solvothermal synthesis, Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), BET nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the structural and morphological features of UiO-67.

The Influence of Glycemic Control Over Post-extraction Healing in Diabetic Patients.

Background Diabetes mellitus hinders wound healing after tooth extractions due to hyperglycemia, causing complications like infections and delayed recovery. The precise role of glycemic control in healing remains uncertain. This study aims to clarify it by comparing outcomes in patients with well-controlled and poorly controlled blood sugar levels.

Quantitative assessment and genomic profiling of dynamics in poultry processing: a case study in the United Arab Emirates integrated abattoir system.

In the United Arab Emirates, no previous research has investigated the dynamics of the foodborne pathogen in broiler abattoir processing. This study conducted in one of the largest poultry producers in the UAE, following each key slaughter stage-defeathering, evisceration, and final chilling-five broiler carcasses were collected from 10 slaughter batches over a year. Additionally, one caecum was obtained from 15 chickens in each slaughter batch to evaluate the flock colonization.
