Background: The use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in caries treatment in children has increased despite the disadvantage of causing tooth discoloration. Nanosilver fluoride (NSF) is a possible alternative. This study aimed to assess the antibacterial effect of NSF and SDF and their impact on the activity of dentin caries in primary teeth.

Background: Adenovirus is a common virus associated with acute gastroenteritis in children. There are certain genotypes that are prevalent in these infections, such as genotypes 40 and 41.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence of adenovirus genotypes 40 and 41 in children with acute gastroenteritis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and also to determine the possibility of Adenovirus co-infections with Rotavirus.
Background: Nanoparticles are becoming increasingly important against resistant superbugs including Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.
Aims: Exploration of Azithromycin as an adjunctive therapy to Ciprofloxacin for treatment of P. aeruginosa infections.
Background And Aim: Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a widely used organophosphate insecticide. Nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) physically showed effective adsorbing property for some insecticides. The study was conducted to estimate the potential effect of ZnO NPs against CPF toxicity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of nanocomposite magnesium oxide and silicon oxide (MgO-SiO) in reducing the toxic effects of AFB1on the immunity and histological alterations in liver, spleen and intestine of adult male rats.
Experimental Design: Animals were divided into a control (Gp1) and three experimental groups (Gps); Gp2 received feed contained 200 ppb AFB1, Gp3 received feed contained 200 ppb AFB1 and 0.
