Anisodamine for the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with acute coronary syndrome: a pilot systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common post-procedural complication of percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Anisodamine hydrobromide is an alkaloid that has demonstrated efficacy in improving microcirculation. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the reno-protective effects of Anisodamine in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for AMI.

Cutting Boards: An Overlooked Source of Microplastics in Human Food?

Plastic cutting boards are a potentially significant source of microplastics in human food. Thus, we investigated the impact of chopping styles and board materials on microplastics released during chopping. As chopping progressed, the effects of chopping styles on microplastic release became evident.

Estimation of microplastic exposure via the composite sampling of drinking water, respirable air, and cooked food from Mumbai, India.

Despite the established presence of microplastics in consumable products and inhalable air and the associated health hazards, the actual extent of human exposure to microplastics is currently unknown. We estimated exposure to microplastics through 24-h composite sampling of drinking water, cooked food, and respirable air. Daily average exposures of 382 ± 205, 594 ± 269, and 1036 ± 493 particles per person were observed through drinking water, air, and food, respectively.

Evaluation of antibacterial activity of extract against : An study.

Dental caries and periodontal diseases have historically been considered the most important global oral health burdens. Many chemicals and synthetic drugs have marked the side effects. Hence, there has been a paradigm shift from the use of modern drugs to the age-old herbs.
