Assessment of air purifier on efficient removal of airborne bacteria, Staphylococcus epidermidis, using single-chamber method.

We evaluated the efficiency of an air purifier using the single-chamber method for the effective removal of airborne Staphylococcus epidermidis, a nosocomial infection-causing bacterium. In this experiment, the bacterial strain S. epidermidis was injected using a nebulizer into the test chamber, which was similar to a consumer living space (60 m).

Synthesis of Cu-Radiolabeled Folate-Conjugated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Cancer Diagnosis.

We report the synthesis of Cu-labeled folate-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles for positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based diagnosis of cancer. The citrate/hydrazine-stabilized Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles measuring ~50 nm were utilized for target synthesis. Radio-thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis shows the formation of Cu-labeled nanomaterial with a radiochemical purity of 82.

Accidental paraquat induced hypersalivation: a case report.

Paraquat is one of the most commonly used lethal herbicide. Even the small amount of paraquat is hazardous to human beings. Poisoning by paraquat is most commonly happening in agricultural based economical country.

Electrochemical biosensing of mosquito-borne viral disease, dengue: A review.

Dengue virus is a mosquito-borne, single positive-stranded RNA virus that spread human being through infected female Aedes mosquito bite and causes dengue fever. The demand for early detection of this virus has increased to control the widespread of infectious diseases and protect humankind from its harmful effects. Recently, biosensors are found to the potential tool to detect and quantify the virus with fast detection, relatively cost-effective, high sensitivity and selectivity than the conventional diagnostic methods such as immunological and molecular techniques.
