Inhibit-AND logic gate enabled versatile BoF-AgNPs as ultrasensitive and selective nanoprobe for Mn(II) ions and nanocatalyst for rapid MB decoloration.

There is great interest in fabricating devices that can detect and remove water pollutants, especially heavy metal ions and dyes from wastewater, to promote sustainable water use. In this study, an extract of Borassus flabellifer leaves (BoF-LE) was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (BoF-AgNPs), with the BoF-LE serving as a reducing and capping agent. The sensitivity and selectivity of BoF-AgNPs for Mn(II) ions were tested by comparing with the control sample and other competent metal ions.

Diabetes and risk of heart failure in people with and without cardiovascular disease: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: People with diabetes have an increased risk of heart failure (HF), compared to those without diabetes. However, no comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis has explored whether these associations could differ in relation to prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Aims: To estimate the association between diabetes and incident heart failure (HF), compared to without diabetes, in individuals with and without CVD.
