Surfactant-modified biochar is a viable adsorbent for eliminating Cr(VI) from synthetic wastewater. The biochar obtained from the zea mays plant (BC) was tailored with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an anionic surfactant forming SDS-BC adsorbent. Different controlling conditions have been evaluated including pH of the solution, biomass concentration, primary Cr(VI) concentration, time of adsorption, and temperature.

Article Synopsis
  • Clear and trustworthy information is essential for increasing COVID-19 vaccination acceptance among pregnant women, particularly due to their heightened risk for severe complications from the virus.
  • A study conducted in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, compared pregnant women who received the COVID-19 vaccine to those who did not, assessing adverse events and pregnancy-related complications.
  • Results showed that women who were vaccinated (Group B) experienced higher instances of certain complications but had lower COVID-19 rates post-vaccination, indicating the vaccine's potential benefits despite some risks.

Introduction: Death in cervical cancer patients is usually due to invasion and metastasis due to the aggressive nature of the tumour. Therefore, it is critical to identify potent therapeutic targets and prognostic markers to detect high-risk patients.

Material And Methods: We assessed the immunohistochemical expression of protein disulphide isomerase A3 (PDIA3) and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) in 50 cases of cervical carcinoma, and we investigated their association with clinicopathological characteristics.

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects around 10% of women, or 1 in 7 women, after giving birth. Undiagnosed PPD was observed among 50% of mothers. PPD has an unfavorable relationship with women's functioning, marital and personal relationships, the quality of the mother-infant connection, and the social, behavioral, and cognitive development of children.

The target of the study is to modify the efficiency of Molnupiravir-drug (MOL) for COVID-19 therapy via the rearrangement of the building engineering of MOL-drug by loading it with self-assembly biomolecules nanoparticles (NPs) of pycnogenol (Pyc) and cellulose (CNC) which are decorated by zinc oxide nanoparticles. The synthesis and characterization of the modified drug are performing successfully, the loading and release process of the MOL drug on a nano surface is measured by UV-Vis spectroscopy under room temperature and different pH. The release efficiency of the MOL drug is calculated to be 65% (pH 6.

Background: By September 2, 2021, over 30,000 COVID-19-vaccinated females had reported menstrual changes to the MHRA's Yellow Card surveillance system. As a result, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is urging researchers to investigate the COVID-19 vaccine's effects on menstruation. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the menstrual changes after COVID-19 vaccination and/or SARS-CoV-2 infection and their interrelations with demographic, mood, and lifestyle factors in Arab women of childbearing age (CBA).

The present work-study the improvement of the loading and release efficiency of sofosbuvir drug (SOF) for anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) by the combination process with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) basket to form a novel self-assembly βCD-SOF which load on the chitosan nanoparticle (Cs NPs) to form a novel hybrid composite (Cs@βCD-SOF). The characterization process performs for confirming the formation of hybrid composite with various methods. The loading efficiency of SOF is performed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, which is reported at 94.

The fabrication and characterization of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets and their reaction with FeO and ZrO metal oxides to form two nanocomposites, namely graphene oxide-iron oxide (GO-FeO) and graphene oxide-iron oxide-zirconium oxide (GO-FeO@ZrO), have been examined. The fabricated nanocomposites were examined using different techniques, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, zeta potential measurement and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Compared to GO, the newly fabricated GO-FeO and GO-FeO@ZrO nanocomposites have the advantage of smaller band gaps, which result in increased adsorption capacity and photocatalytic effects.
