Non-alcoholic fatty acid liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are the fatal liver diseases which encompass a spectrum of disease severity associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a metabolic disorder. Heat shock proteins serve as markers in early prognosis and diagnosis of early stages of liver diseases associated with metabolic disorder. This review aims to comprehensively investigate the significance of HSP90 isoforms in T2DM and liver diseases.

Introduction Minor dental and oral surgical procedures have been made comfortable with the rise in the use of daycare sedatives. Of these sedatives, midazolam is deemed a common sedative used for minor oral surgical procedures. Newer and safer sedatives such as dexmedetomidine have certain properties that may prove more efficient in oral surgical procedures.

Due to numerous applications and excellent environmental stability, long-chain perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) are ubiquitous in water across the world and adversely affect the living organisms. Thus, this study focused on the mitigation of the most frequently used long-chain PFCs namely perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) from water using reduced graphene oxide modified zinc ferrite immobilized chitosan beads (rGO-ZF@CB) as an adsorbent. The results from the adsorption isotherm and kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption data fitted well to the Langmuir and the pseudo-second-order models.

The development of industrialization and agricultural activities have carried various negative impacts to living organisms in recent decades and also, the frequent problem of inorganic pollution have been environmental anxiety to the community. Among these, Cr and F are priority poisonous pollutants from many industries. In this work, we present a low-cost synthesis procedure to obtain biocompatible zirconium incorporated chitosan-gelatin composite (CS-Zr-GEL) were fabricated and explored for the adsorptive removal of toxic Cr and F from water.
