Emergence of infectious diseases and role of advanced nanomaterials in point-of-care diagnostics: a review.

Infectious outbreaks are the foremost global public health concern, challenging the current healthcare system, which claims millions of lives annually. The most crucial way to control an infectious outbreak is by early detection through point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. POC diagnostics are highly advantageous owing to the prompt diagnosis, which is economical, simple and highly efficient with remote access capabilities.

Removal of protein wastes by cylinder-shaped NaY zeolite adsorbents decorated with heavy metal wastes.

Cylinder-shaped NaY zeolite was used as an adsorbent for eradicating both heavy metal ions (Cu, Zn, Ni, and Co) and proteins from the waste streams. As a pseudo-metal ion affinity adsorbent, NaY zeolite was used in the capture of heavy metal ions in the first stage. The amount (molar basis) of metal ions adsorbed onto NaY zeolite decreased in the order of Cu > Zn > Co > Ni.
