A review-chitosan nanoparticles towards enhancing nutrient use efficiency in crops.

Global economy relies on agriculture and hence poor nutrient use efficiency of conventional fertilization is not only a problem for the farmers but also for the researchers. Chitin, the natural biopolymer of the world, next to cellulose, on deacetylation yields chitosan, which has potential uses in diverse domains of agricultural sector, including wastewater treatment, pest and disease resistance and in smart nutrient delivery. Chitosan nanomaterials serve as the available nutrient source of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus to plants.

A Comparative Study on Safety and Efficacy of Desvenlafaxine Versus Sertraline in Depression.

Background Depression is one of the most predominant mental health issues that are prevalent now. Therefore, many clinical trials were being conducted to find the safest, most effective, and tolerable anti-depressant. This study aims to compare desvenlafaxine and sertraline regarding their safety and efficacy in treating depression.

Comparative in vitro evaluation of internal adaptation of resin-modified glass ionomer, flowable composite and bonding agent applied as a liner under composite restoration: A scanning electron microscope study.

Background: The use of resin-modified glass Ionomer cement in sandwich technique is widely practiced with the advent of various newer generation of composites the bond between resin-modified glass Ionomer and these resins should be validated. This study is done to evaluate the interfacial microgaps between different types of liners and dentin, liners and composite (Filtek p60 [FLp60]) using scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Materials And Methods: Standardized Class V preparations were performed in buccal/lingual surfaces of 30 caries, crack and defect-free extracted human third molars.
