Insights into biochemical, genotoxic, and molecular impacts, and molecular docking analysis-based possible mechanism of action of some essential oils against Culex pipiens larvae.

Mosquitoes as vectors of life-threatening diseases pose significant risks to human health. While essential oils (EOs) are increasingly utilized as potential mosquitocides, their specific biochemical, genotoxic, and molecular impacts on mosquitoes are not well-documented. This study evaluates the biochemical, genotoxic, and molecular effects of five EOs on Culex pipiens larvae.

Comparison of the behaviour of pro-oxidant additive containing plastic degradation in the unmanaged natural environment and in the laboratory.

Pro-oxidant additive containing (PAC) plastics are designed to degrade in the unmanaged natural environment through oxidation and biological processes. In 2020, the British Standard Institution published the PAS 9017:2020 standard designed to ensure that PAC plastic tested under a specific set of protocols would successfully biodegrade in the environment. In this article, we compare the outcomes of laboratory tests carried out according to PAS 9017:2020 with field tests in an open unmanaged environment in the UK over 24 months.

Investigation of the Effects of Applying Bio-Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticle Fertilizer to Moringa Oleifera Plants on the Chemical and Vegetative Properties of the Plants' leaves.

Magnesium (Mg) is necessary for plants as a structural element or an enzyme cofactor. It also plays a significant role in the light and dark responses of photosynthesis. Moringa plants are considered one of the most important medicinal plants that humans need for nutrition.

Evaluation of the efficacy of supplementary probiotic capsules with topical clobetasol propionate 0.05% versus topical clobetasol propionate 0.05% in the treatment of oral lichen planus (a randomized clinical trial).

Objectives: Probiotics are live microorganisms consisting of many bacterial species that have immunoregulatory functions. The effectiveness of probiotic administration in conjunction with topical corticosteroid application in oral lichen planus (OLP) treatment was evaluated.

Methods: Sixty OLP patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups.
