Masks for COVID-19.

Sustainable solutions on fabricating and using a face mask to block the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread during this coronavirus pandemic of 2019 (COVID-19) are required as society is directed by the World Health Organization (WHO) toward wearing it, resulting in an increasingly huge demand with over 4 000 000 000 masks used per day globally. Herein, various new mask technologies and advanced materials are reviewed to deal with critical shortages, cross-infection, and secondary transmission risk of masks. A number of countries have used cloth masks and 3D-printed masks as substitutes, whose filtration efficiencies can be improved by using nanofibers or mixing other polymers into them.

A New Mode of Thinfilm and Nanofiber for Burst Release of the Drug for Alzheimer Disease; A Complete Scenario from Dispersible Polymer to Formulation Methodology.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is usually caused by intellectual deterioration which occurs due to the degeneration of cholinergic neurons. Donepezil is employed for cholinesterase enzyme Inhibition (ChEI) to treat AD in a wider population. Over the years, researchers finding difficulties prompted through traditional dosage forms particularly in geriatric patience.

Emerging waste valorisation techniques to moderate the hazardous impacts, and their path towards sustainability.

Due to the recent boom in urbanisation, economy, and global population, the amount of waste generated worldwide has increased tremendously. The World Bank estimates that global waste generation is expected to increase 70% by 2050. Disposal of waste is already a major concern as it poses risks to the environment, human health, and economy.

Bioconversion of Food Waste to produce Industrial-scale Sophorolipid Syrup and Crystals: dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (dLCA) of Emerging Biotechnologies.

Bioconversion of food waste into sophorolipid-based biosurfactants is a promising emerging technology. It is important to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with the latest advancements in sophorolipid production as it matures to maximize sustainability on scale-up. This study takes a dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (dLCA) approach to address the inherent uncertainties and evaluate the environmental performances.

Guiding environmental sustainability of emerging bioconversion technology for waste-derived sophorolipid production by adopting a dynamic life cycle assessment (dLCA) approach.

Microbial biosurfactants are surface-active molecules that are naturally produced by a range of microorganisms. They have certain advantages over chemical surfactants, such as lower toxicity, higher biodegradability, anti-tumor, and anti-microbial properties. Sophorolipids (SLs) in particular are one of the most promising biosurfactants, as they hold the largest share of the biosurfactant market.

Nanomedicines as Drug Delivery Carriers of Anti-Tubercular Drugs: From Pathogenesis to Infection Control.

In spite of advances in tuberculosis (TB) chemotherapy, TB is still airborne deadly disorder as a major issue of health concern worldwide today.
