Silver sulphide nanoparticles (AgSNPs) synthesized using Phyllanthus emblica fruit extract for enhanced antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

In this study, silver sulfide nanoparticles (AgSNP's) were successfully produced by using fruit extracts of Phyllanthus emblica. UV-vis, FTIR, XRD with SEM and EDX techniques were used for the synthesis process and for characterization of the resulting nanostructures. According to the findings, the fabricated nanostructure had a monoclinic crystal structure, measuring 44 nm in grain size, and its strain was 1.

Formulation and In Vitro Assessment of Polymeric pH-Responsive Nanogels of Chitosan for Sustained Delivery of Madecassoside.

Madecassoside, a triterpenoid saponin compound mainly isolated from the gotu kola herb (), shows an extensive range of biological activities, including antiapoptotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, neuroprotective, and wound healing effects. It has been highly used in the management of eczema, skin wounds, and other diseases. Due to poor oral bioavailability, membrane permeability, and intestinal absorption, the clinical application of the madecassoside is limited.

A Novel Approach of Polyvinyl Alcohol/Acrylic Acid Based Hydrogels for Controlled Delivery of Diclofenac Sodium.

Aim And Objective: The aim of this study was to prepare polyvinyl alcohol/acrylic acid (PVA/AA) hydrogels for the controlled release of diclofenac sodium and to develop PVA/AA hydrogels as controlled release carriers to overcome not only the side effects of diclofenac sodium but also sustain its release for an extended period.

Background: Diclofenac sodium is employed for relieving pain and fever. The half-life of diclofenac sodium is very short (1-2 h).

Trace metals and nutrient analysis of marine fish species from the Gwadar coast.

Trace metals are naturally occurring metals found in very small concentrations in the environment. In the context of fish flesh, metals such as copper, calcium, potassium, sodium, zinc, iron, and manganese are absorbed by fish and play vital roles in various physiological functions. However, if these metals exceed the recommended limits set by WHO/FAO, they are termed 'toxic metals' due to their harmful impacts on both the fish and its consumers.

Vitamin E reduces oxidative stress in brains of male albino male rats undergoing immobilization.

Stress can lead to various health problems. Exposure to stress is linked to several diseases including cancer, hypertension, diabetes, mental disorders, and heart attacks. Stress stimulates several pathways that produce free radicals, which increases oxidative stress.

Extract Attenuate Doxorubicin-Induced Hepatic Injury via PI-3K/Akt/Nrf-2-Mediated Signaling Pathway in Rats.

Doxorubicin (DOX), which is used to treat cancer, has harmful effects that limit its therapeutic application. Finding preventative agents to thwart DOX-caused injuries is thus imperative. has numerous biomedical uses.

Xanthan-Gum/Pluronic-F-127-Based-Drug-Loaded Polymeric Hydrogels Synthesized by Free Radical Polymerization Technique for Management of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Smart and intelligent xanthan gum/pluronic F-127 hydrogels were fabricated for the controlled delivery of atomoxetine HCl. Different parameters such as DSC, TGA, FTIR, XRD, SEM, drug loading, porosity, swelling index, drug release, and kinetics modeling were appraised for the prepared matrices of hydrogels. FTIR confirmed the successful synthesis of the hydrogel, while TGA and DSC analysis indicated that the thermal stability of the reagents was improved after the polymerization technique.

Toxoplasmosis-Awareness and Knowledge of Pregnant Women in Rural Areas of Malakand Region, Pakistan.

Background: The current study was carried out between October 2017 and October 2018 to explore knowledge, attitudes, practices, and information sources regarding toxoplasmosis among pregnant women in Malakand region, the northwestern part of Pakistan. The current study was carried out between October 2017 and October 2018.

Methods: A structured questionnaire was used to interview the women after taking verbal informed consent.

H19 and TUG1 lncRNAs as Novel Biomarkers for Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Diabetic Patients.

Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal disorder due to enteric nervous system impairment that produces different patterns of digestion. IBS is a common finding in diabetic patients. The functions of lncRNAs in IBS are still not clear and need to be further investigated.

Effect of Caffeinated and Decaffeinated Coffee on Blood Pressure and Heart Rate of Healthy Individuals.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Caffeine is the most widely consumed stimulant in the world with 80% of it consumed in the form of coffee. It is used as an ingredient in pharmaceuticals, owing to the high content of nutrients and antioxidants, including phenols and polyphenols, that have cardioprotective properties. This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee on blood pressure and heart rate.

Treatment and Prevention of Viral Infections through Nutrition and Strengthened Immunity: The COVID-19 Pandemic Case Scenario.

The cause of the ongoing massive pandemic, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, originated in Wuhan, China and spread rapidly worldwide. The pandemic has helped identify the difficulties associated with devising best practices necessary to augment the immune system to prevent the contraction of viral infections, as well as enhance the process of recovery if an infection does occur. Medical scholars and researchers have been actively assessing dietary aspects that may improve the health of immune systems.

Possible modulation of nervous tension-induced oxidative stress by vitamin E.

Stress is an unavoidable part of human life that affects a majority of people: In 2018, 55% of Americans reported experiencing stress (Gallup Global Emotions, 2019). Various factors contribute to the emergence of nervous stress among individuals, including environmental, physical, and psychological stimuli. Physical and psychological issues arise as a result of stress, which is the subject of our research study, giving it significant practical value.
