Denosumab is a human monoclonal immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) antibody that is used in the management of osteoporosis and various bone-related disorders to help strengthen bones and prevent fractures. Declining renal function and the drug denosumab are both associated with an increased risk of hypocalcaemia. The combination of both factors in a patient, along with the long half-life of the drug, can cause further exacerbation of this risk.

- Vasculitis is a potential complication of COVID-19, where the virus can trigger or worsen autoimmune diseases like systemic vasculitis.
- The case of an elderly patient with multiple health issues highlighted the connection, as doctors diagnosed vasculitis due to renal function decline and positive antinuclear antibodies.
- A kidney biopsy confirmed focal necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis, emphasizing the need for awareness of COVID-19 related complications and a broad differential diagnosis in recovering patients.
Multi-drug resistance (MDR) in continues to pose a significant public health challenge, particularly in developing countries. Recent advances in genomics strengthen the surveillance of MDR-pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mediators. However, genome-based investigations into resistome dynamics in are limited, specifically in Bangladesh.

Synthesized P(CS-NI-AA) microgel particles were utilized as micro-reactors for the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) inside the structure of microgels through chemical reduction of Ag ions using NaBH as reducing agent. P(CS-NI-AA) and Ag-P(CS-NI-AA) systems were analyzed using various characterization techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-visible) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a reproductive disorder that negatively impacts women's quality of life, and researchers are studying its causes and treatments worldwide.
- The study evaluated the quality of life of 108 women with PCOS through a web-based survey, revealing common symptoms such as menstrual irregularity, hirsutism, and obesity, along with complications like diabetes and infertility.
- The results indicated that women dealing with infertility had the worst physical health scores, while those on night shifts reported poorer mental health, highlighting the need for comprehensive care for women with PCOS, especially in managing both physical and psychological aspects.
