Evaluating biomechanical risks in manual material handling: an ergonomic intervention approach.

Manual waste handling, common in many underdeveloped regions, often exposes workers to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) during material tasks. A study involving 92 workers highlighted the risks associated with the waste scraping and picking tasks, focusing on lower back, knee and neck joints. The study aimed to create improved equipment through iterative design.

Engineering Co2+ coordination in α-Co(OH)2 and its conversion to Co3O4 nanoparticles for application in asymmetric supercapacitors.

Owing to unique redox behaviour and structural versatility, cobalt hydroxide/cobalt oxide-based nanomaterials have emerged as promising materials for energy storage. Relation between coordination environment of Co2+ and its effect on electrochemical behaviour remains unexplored. α-Co(OH)₂ contains Co2+ in octahedral coordination (Co2+Oh).

Balanced Salt Solution Versus Normal Saline as Resuscitation Fluid in Pediatric Septic Shock: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ObjectiveFluid resuscitation is an important intervention in children with septic shock. The composition of resuscitation fluid is a matter of debate. Our aim was to study the effects of balanced salt solution BSS) versus normal saline (NS) for resuscitation in pediatric septic shock.

Evaluation of Effects of Staining and Bleaching Agents on the Stability of Color for Microhybrid and Nanohybrid Resin Composite Restorative Materials - An Study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the color changes (ΔE) of two different composite resins after staining and bleaching.

Material And Methods: A total of 100 specimens were prepared from microhybrid and nanohybrid composites. The samples were divided into five groups and stained for 30 days with tea, coffee, cola, red wine, or distilled water (control).

Development of carbazole-based molecules for inhibition of mutant hSOD1 protein aggregation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by the loss of upper and lower motor neurons. Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is one of the genes associated with the familial form of the disease (fALS). The mechanism of neuron degeneration by SOD1 is not clear, it is hypothesised that there is a toxic gain of function in the protein which leads to the downstream effects.
