This Article deals with the toxicological study of synthesized CdO nanoparticles (NPs) on Escherichia coli . Characterization of the CdO NPs was done by DLS, XRD, TEM, and AFM studies, and the average size of NPs was revealed as 22 ± 3 nm. The NPs showed bactericidal activity against E. coli. When NPs were added at midlog phase of growth, complete growth inhibitory concentration was found as 40 μg/mL. Bacterial cells changed morphological features to filamentous form with increasing CdO NPs exposure time, and thereafter resulted in filamentation-associated clumping. From AFM study, severe damage of the cell surface was found in CdO NPs-treated cells. CdO NPs were found to interfere with the expression level of two conserved cell division components, ftsZ and ftsQ, in E. coli at both transcriptional and translational levels. Interference of CdO NPs in proper septum formation without affecting the nucleoid segregation was also observed in confocal micrographs. The elevated intracellular oxidative stress due to CdO NPs exposure seems to be one of the reasons for the changes in cell morphology and expression of division proteins in E. coli.

Cadmium oxide nanoparticles (CdO-NPs) play an important role in health applications due to their antibacterial properties. However, ecotoxicological investigations of these NPs and their adverse effects on aquatic organisms are necessary to protect the environment. Zebrafish is widely used as a model organism to explore toxic effects at multiple levels of integration.

Objectives: We previously described a 6-item teamwork index (TEAM) with a strong relationship to provider experience, lower burnout, and intent to stay. We now sought to determine whether (1) TEAM relates to higher patient Net Promoter Score (NPS, or likelihood of patient referring to the organization) and (2) teamwork mediates a provider experience-NPS relationship.
Study Design: A provider wellness survey was administered in the fall of 2019 in 6 care delivery organizations (CDOs) with patient NPS data.
This study reports a facile approach for examining surface morphology transitions in semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs), with a focus on pristine and magnesium-doped cadmium oxide NPs. Mg-doped CdO NPs are synthesized co-precipitation, and their composition, structure, and elemental distribution are analyzed through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), along with optical characterization and impedance analysis. Doping with Mg changes the morphology from rod-like to quasi-spherical, reduces the crystallite size, and impacts their structural and functional properties.

Introduction: Nanoparticles (NPs) are of great interest in the design of various drugs due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, which result from their unique physicochemical properties. Because of the importance of examining the interactions between newly designed particles with different targets in the case of various diseases, techniques for examining the interactions between these particles with different targets, many of which are proteins, are now very common.
Methods: In this study, the interactions between metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) covered with a carbon layer (AgO, CdO, CuO, FeO, FeO, MgO, MnO, and ZnO NPs) and standard drugs related to the targets of Cancer and bacterial infections were investigated using the molecular docking technique with AutoDock 4.
