Chronic pain and restricted mobility, hallmark features of rheumatic diseases, substantially affect patients' quality of life, often resulting in physical disability and emotional distress. Given the long-term nature of these conditions, there is a growing interest in complementary therapeutic approaches, emphasizing the need to explore non-pharmacological treatments. Hydrotherapy, balneotherapy, and mud therapy have emerged as effective interventions to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, improve joint mobility, and enhance overall physical and mental well-being.

Physical and photophysical properties of starch-based biopolymer films containing 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine (NTA) powder as a nanofiller were examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), stationary UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as resonance light scattering (RLS) and time-resolved measurements, and where possible, analyzed with reference to pristine NTA solutions. AFM studies revealed that the addition of NTA into the starch biopolymer did not significantly affect surface roughness, with all examined films displaying similar Sq values ranging from 70.7 nm to 79.

Herin, the successful synthesis of a bis Schiff base (L) has been achieved using 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 1,3-diaminoguanidine as raw materials, which was further characterized by infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum. Moreover, spectroscopic experiments demonstrated that the probe L showed good selectivity and visual detectability for Al. Its detection limit (DL) is 2.

Aims: CAR-T cell therapy has attracted considerable attention in recent years owing to its well-known efficacy against haematopoietic malignancies. Nevertheless, this immunotherapy fails against solid tumours due to hostile conditions found in the tumour microenvironment. In this context, many relevant biochemical factors have been thoroughly studied, but crucial mechanical cues have been underestimated.

Cellulose paper-based composites represent a promising and sustainable alternative for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications. Derived from renewable and biodegradable cellulose fibers, these composites are enhanced with conductive fillers namely carbon nanotubes, graphene, or metallic nanoparticles, achieving efficient EMI shielding while maintaining environmental friendliness. Their lightweight, flexible nature, and mechanical robustness make them ideal for diverse applications, including wearable electronics, flexible circuits, and green electronics.
