Nanoparticles are attracting attention for their potential therapeutic applications, particularly in cancer therapy, underscoring their importance in medicine. Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles, known for their robust catalytic and optical properties, are classified as chalcogenides and show promise for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Neuroblastoma, a common solid tumor in childhood, poses a significant health threat with different outcomes depending on its biological subtype.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the presence of virulence genes in Proteus mirabilis and Proteus vulgaris strains obtained from patients with diabetic foot infections (DFIs) and urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • A total of 78 isolates were analyzed, with the majority being identified through a specialized mass spectrometry technique and the presence of specific virulence genes assessed using PCR.
  • Results indicated that most virulence genes were more commonly found in UTI isolates compared to DFI isolates, highlighting potential differences in the pathogenicity of these bacteria in different infection types.

The combination of sensing invisible ultraviolet photons and infrared radiation can significantly enhance target recognition by offsetting their own limit in a short sensing range and poor spatial resolution. However, the difference in their wavelength sets unique requirements for sensing materials and devices, which makes it hard to establish their implementation in a single detector. In this work, we present the design of a single detector with CHNHPbCl (MAPbCl) for distinguishing ultraviolet and IR signals by switching its operating mode in the photo-/thermo-electric effect.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative case. As the disease progresses, the response time to doses of levodopa (L-Dopa) becomes shorter and the effects of the drug are severely limited by some undesirable side effects such as the 'on-off' phenomenon. In several diseases, including Parkinson's, nanoparticles can deliver antioxidant compounds that reduce oxidative stress.
