Fabrication of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/gelatin electro spun nanofiber patch containing CaCO/SiO nanocomposite and quercetin for accelerated diabetic wound healing.

An open wound or sore on the bottom of the foot caused by diabetes is known as a diabetic foot ulcer. Preventive measures are essential, including consistent foot care and glycemic management. The dangers associated with diabetic foot ulcers can be reduced via early identification and timely treatment.

Fabrication and optimization of curcumin-multiwalled carbon nanotube (C-MWCNT) conjugate reinforced electrospun polyacrylonitrile membrane for water treatment applications.

In the recent times, one of the most crucial tasks related to water resources is the treatment of polluted water. This study reports the development of a functionalized nanofibrous membrane with enhanced filtration performance, heavy metal removal, and photocatalytic dye degradation for the effective treatment of contaminated water. The nanofibrous mats were developed by the process of electrospinning using a polymeric solution of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) reinforced with curcumin-multiwalled carbon nanotube (C-MWCNT) conjugate.

Evaluating the ameliorative effect of nano bis-demethoxy curcumin analog against extrapulmonary toxicity in rat induced by inhaled multi-walled carbon nanotube.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exposure in human beings through inhalation may affect pulmonary organs and extrapulmonary organs including liver, kidney, brain, spleen, etc. The toxic effects developed as the result of CNTs exposure made us to explore the beneficial effect of nano bis-demethoxy curcumin analog (NBDMCA) towards multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-induced toxicity in extrapulmonary organs. The current study described the ameliorative effect of NBDMCA against the toxic effects developed by inhaled MWCNTs in the extrapulmonary organs.

Alternative methods of monitoring emerging contaminants in water: a review.

Anthropogenic activities have steadily increased the release of emerging contaminants (ECs) in aquatic bodies, and these ECs may have adverse effects on humans even at their trace (μg L) levels. Their occurrence in wastewater systems is more common, and the current wastewater treatment facilities are inefficient in eliminating many of such persistent ECs. "Gold standard" techniques such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, and other high-resolution mass spectrometers are used for the quantification of ECs of various kinds, but they all have significant limitations.
