Optical, Opto-Mechanical, and Antimicrobial Characterization of TiO and ZnO-Enhanced Polypropylene Fibers Using Interferometric Techniques and Fourier Transform Analysis.

This study investigates the optical, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties of polypropylene (PP) fibers enhanced with titanium dioxide (TiO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. Using a Mach-Zehnder interferometric system, we examined the refractive indices, birefringence, and opto-mechanical behavior of blank PP, PP/TiO, and PP/ZnO nanocomposite fibers under various conditions, including different polarization orientations and during cold drawing processes. The 2D Fourier transform algorithm is employed to analyze interferometric data, enabling precise measurements of refractive index profiles and birefringence.

"Employment of PEGylated ultra-deformable transferosomes for transdermal delivery of tapentadol with boosted bioavailability and analgesic activity in post-surgical pain".

The utilization of the proper and safe analgesics was considered a major concern in pain alleviation especially that associated with surgical procedures. Novel analgesics as Tapentadol hydrochloride (TAP) was involved efficiently instead of the common opioids to overcome the subsequent severe and common adverse effects associated with opioids utilization. Unfortunately, the extensive first pass metabolism limits the oral bioavailability of TAP and predisposes to a diminished duration of action, hence larger frequent doses of TAP will be required.

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in the Elderly.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare disease of massive, dysregulated cytokine release and secondary multiorgan failure and is associated with high mortality. Primary HLH occurs predominately in infants and young children with a genetic predisposition. Acquired HLH is less well characterized and usually occurs in younger adults in the setting of severe inflammation triggered by infection or malignancy.

Toxic effects of Lambda-cyhalothrin, on the rat thyroid: Involvement of oxidative stress and ameliorative effect of ginger extract.

Lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) is a synthetic pyrethroid that is widely used to control insecticide. Ginger is a traditional plant that is widely used as a spice or folk medicine. This study evaluates the antioxidant effect of ginger extract on thyroid toxicity induced by LCT in albino rats.

Protective effects of fennel oil extract against sodium valproate-induced hepatorenal damage in albino rats.

(Apiaceae) is commonly known as fennel. This herb is well-known worldwide and traditionally used as curative herbal therapy for the treatment of epileptic disease, seizurescarminative, digestive, lactogogue, diuretic, treating respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders. The aim of present study is to investigate the possible effect of fennel oil against the toxicity of Sodium-Valproic (SVP) in albino rats.
