Existing mortar uses self-healing powders that are based on mineral admixtures, whose reactive nature negatively impacts bacterial viability and diminishes their effectiveness over time. This study aims to develop non-reactive, sustainable biochar-based healing powders with extended bacterial viability to serve as self-healing admixture in bio-mortar. Biochar from coconut husk, coconut shell, and coconut leaf petiole was evaluated for compatibility with Bacillus pumilus RSB17, emphasizing bacterial growth and calcium carbonate precipitation.

- - The study examines how a very severe tropical cyclone affects sea turtle nesting habitats and suggests management strategies to protect these areas amid changes in the coastal landscape and sediment conditions.
- - Findings indicate that while the immediate impacts on nesting sites are short-term, long-term effects like plastic pollution and altered sediment characteristics could hinder nesting success and exacerbate flooding.
- - Recommendations include ensuring specific cross-sectional areas for estuaries to maintain stability, as well as involving local communities in post-cyclone clean-up efforts to support the conservation of sea turtle habitats.
Purpose: Wound patches are essential for wound healing, yet developing patches with enhanced mechanical and biological properties remains challenging. This study aimed to enhance the mechanical and biological properties of polyurethane (PU) by incorporating magnesium chloride (MgCl) into the patch.
Methodology: The composite patch was fabricated using the electrospinning technique, producing nanofibers from a mixture of PU and MgCl solutions.
Cerebrospinal fluid (Csf) leak is the leakage of CSF from subarachnoid space into the nasal cavity.Csf rhinorrhoea is classified as traumatic and non traumatic causes (Ommaya et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 31(3):214, 1968).
