Engineered oxygen vacancies in NiCoO/BiOI heterostructures for enhanced photocatalytic pollutant degradation.

To address the bottleneck issue of poor carrier separation and transfer efficiency in NiCoO photocatalyst, a novel 1D/2D-rod-on-rose-like NiCOO/BiOI nanohybrid with abundant OV's was successfully synthesized using a single-step hydrothermal method and employed to the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The study revealed that the optimized NiCoO-OV/BiOI hybrid could possess superior photocatalytic degradation efficiency towards RhB degradation under visible light with a rate constant that was 3.8 and 3.

Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Bioenergy: Revolutionizing Optimization, Waste Reduction, and Environmental Sustainability.

Assessing the mutual benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) and bioenergy systems, to promote efficient and sustainable energy production. By addressing issues with conventional bioenergy techniques, it highlights how AI is revolutionising optimisation, waste reduction, and environmental sustainability. With its capacity for intelligent decision-making, predictive modelling, and adaptive controls to maximise bioenergy processes, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a crucial catalyst for overcoming these obstacles.

Biofilm suppression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by bio-engineered silver nanoparticles from Hellenia speciosa rhizome extract.

Bacterial biofilm, a persistent issue in healthcare equipment and typical infections, is exacerbated by the pathogenesis and antibiotic tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium remains a significant concern in the global healthcare sector. Silver nanoparticles, with their potent antibacterial properties, have emerged as a promising solution.

Biofilm inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus by silver nanoparticles derived from Hellenia speciosa rhizome extract.

Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of serious health conditions because of the formation of biofilm, which lowers antibiotic efficacy and enhances infection transmission and tenacious behavior. This bacteria is a major threat to the worldwide healthcare system. Silver nanoparticles have strong antibacterial characteristics and emerged as a possible alternative.

Letter to the editor: "Therapeutic efficacy of drilling drainage combined with intraoperative middle meningeal artery occlusion in the management of chronic subdural hematoma: a clinical study".

This letter addresses the research presented by Sun et al. on the integration of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) with conventional surgical drainage for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), focusing on precision in targeting the middle meningeal artery (MMA). The study demonstrates a reduction in hematoma recurrence and drainage tube indwelling times, highlighting the procedural benefits without added complications.

Letter to the editor: Brain tissue oxygen partial pressure monitoring and prognosis of patients with traumatic brain injury: a meta-analysis.

The meta-analysis by Shen et al. in Neurosurgical Review highlights the benefits of brain tissue oxygen partial pressure (PbtO) monitoring in reducing mortality and intracranial pressure in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. However, it also associates PbtO monitoring with prolonged hospital stays.

Burden of cervical cancer in India: estimates of years of life lost, years lived with disability and disability adjusted life years at national and subnational levels using the National Cancer Registry Programme data.

Background: Cervical cancer is ranked as the second most common cancer in India. This study aims to assess the cervical cancer burden at the national and subnational level in India, projecting it for the year 2025 in terms of years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).

Methods: Twenty-eight population based cancer registries within the National Cancer Registry Programme network contributed cancer incidence and mortality data for this analysis.

Comment on Tsioti et al's "Systemic Lipopolysaccharide Exposure Exacerbates Choroidal Neovascularization in Mice".

The study "Systemic Lipopolysaccharide Exposure Exacerbates Choroidal Neovascularization in Mice" by Tsioti et al. explores the impact of systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on choroidal neovascularization (CNV) progression. The findings reveal systemic LPS exposure significantly enhances fluorescein leakage, driven by increased pro-inflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages and microglia activation.

Critical review on plant-derived quorum sensing signaling inhibitors in pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a biofilm-forming organism with complex quorum mechanisms (Las, Rhl, PQS, and IQS), poses an imminent danger to the healthcare sector and renders current treatment options for chemotherapy ineffectual. The pathogen's diverse pathogenicity, antibiotic resistance, and biofilms make it difficult to eradicate it effectively. Quorum sensing, a complex system reliant on cell density, controls P.

From nature to medicine: bioactive compounds in the battle against SARS-CoV-2.

The COVID-19 pandemic has driven the search for new therapeutic agents against SARS-CoV-2. Natural products have shown promise as sources of bioactive compounds with antiviral properties. This letter highlights the potential of these compounds in developing effective COVID-19 therapies.

Brown algal bioactive molecules: a new frontier in oral cancer treatment.

Researchers are exploring brown algae as a source of potential treatments for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), a prevalent and aggressive form of oral cancer. Brown algae are rich in bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, carotenoids, fatty acids, and polysaccharides, which show promise in inhibiting cancer cell growth and inducing apoptosis. These compounds work through various mechanisms such as cell cycle arrest, apoptotic cell death, and inhibition of angiogenesis.

Review on biochar as a sustainable green resource for the rehabilitation of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil.

Petroleum pollution is one of the primary threats to the environment and public health. Therefore, it is essential to create new strategies and enhance current ones. The process of biological reclamation, which utilizes a biological agent to eliminate harmful substances from polluted soil, has drawn much interest.
