Recent times have witnessed revolutionary progress in the design and development of functionalized nanomaterials as promising tools for biomedicinal applications. However, the gap in the fundamental understanding of the "biological responses" of the nanomaterials after the formation of "protein-corona" when it is exposed to the body system has drawn a thin line from its discoveries to real clinical trial. In this article we have synthesized two different silver NPs capped with the polyphenols of (guava) leaf extract and the other with one of its major polyphenolic groups, morin.

Imaginal exposure is a standard procedure of cognitive behavioral therapy for the treatment of anxiety and panic disorders. It is often used when in vivo exposure is not possible, too stressful for patients, or would be too expensive. The Bio-Informational Theory implies that imaginal exposure is effective because of the perceptual proximity of mental imagery to real events, whereas empirical findings suggest that propositional thought of fear stimuli (i.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) poses a significant threat to global health, with millions of new infections and approximately one million deaths annually. Various modeling efforts have emerged, offering tailored data-driven and physiologically-based solutions for novel and historical compounds. However, this diverse modeling panorama may lack consistency, limiting result comparability.

In otolaryngology, training often involves simulation in animal specimens, human cadavers, and artificial models to facilitate learning surgical procedures, reducing the time needed to acquire essential skills. Simulated training has become integral to medical education, particularly in microsurgical techniques, such as microlaryngeal surgery. These procedures, also known as phonomicrosurgery, are performed on the vocal folds using microscopic visualization and precision instruments with long shafts and millimetric tips.

Imazaquin (IMQ) is an imidazolinone group herbicide widely used for weed control around the world. Due to excessive use during crop production, IMQ can accumulate in corn and soybeans, positing a potential threat to human health. In this study, a hapten that had high specificity and sensitivity was designed using computer-simulated technology.
