Elemental contamination in cosmetics is a serious health concern as it can pose a cumulative effect on the user's body over a long period. The prime motive of the study was to assess the concentration of 10 concerning chemical elements (Pb, Cd, Cr, As, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn) in imported and local lipsticks and eye pencil samples collected from retail outlets in central Bangladesh (Dhaka city) and to assess their dynamic health risks for users. A total of 18 lipsticks and 24 eye pencils were studied and concentrations of chemical elements were examined with atomic absorption spectrophotometer.

Lung cancer is the primary reason of cancer deaths worldwide, and the percentage of death rate is increasing step by step. There are chances of recovering from lung cancer by detecting it early. In any case, because the number of radiologists is limited and they have been working overtime, the increase in image data makes it hard for them to evaluate the images accurately.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been considered an easily accessible battery technology because of their low weight, cheapness, etc. Unfortunately, they have significant drawbacks, such as flammability and scarcity of lithium. Since the components of zinc-ion batteries are nonflammable, nontoxic, and cheap, AZIBs could be a suitable replacement for LIBs.

Chromium (Cr) is a potentially toxic metal occurring in the soil as a result of natural and anthropogenic activities and is mainly found in Cr and Cr. The hexavalent chromium has toxic effects on plants, animals, humans and microorganisms depending on exposure level, duration and doses. Biochar is a stable carbon-based material that has been widely documented to immobilize metals in contaminated soils and for soil remediation effectively.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 () quantification is performed routinely for all breast cancer patients to determine their suitability for -targeted therapy. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) are the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved tests for quantification in which at least 20 cancer-affected singular nuclei are quantified for grading. CISH is more advantageous than FISH for cost, time and practical usability.

Background: Bangladesh has been going through the austerity of the unique COVID-19 for more than a year like several other nations in the world in spite of concerted efforts taken by the government along with other concerned authorities who have advocated compulsory guidelines involving social distancing procedures accompanied by lockdown to have control over the pandemic. In this paper, the barriers faced by the government to protect people from the COVID-19 pandemic have been investigated. Also, the number of daily infected people against the number of daily tests has been underlined to comprehend the overall pandemic picture in Bangladesh.

Nearly all living species comprise of host defense peptides called defensins, that are crucial for innate immunity. These peptides work by activating the immune system which kills the microbes directly or indirectly, thus providing protection to the host. Thus far, numerous preclinical and clinical trials for peptide-based drugs are currently being evaluated.

At present, there are growing concerns over the increasing release of trace metals in the Sundarbans mangrove areas in Bangladesh due to nearby shipbreaking and metallurgical industries, untreated waste discharge, navigation activities, and other natural processes that deposit trace metals into soils. The current study investigated the spatial distribution, contamination level, and ecotoxicity of eight trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni) in Sundarbans soils. Results revealed that all the trace metals except Cr were present in higher concentrations compared to Earth's shale and/or upper continental crust.

Accurate identification of DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) is critical for both understanding protein function and drug design. DBPs also play essential roles in different kinds of biological activities such as DNA replication, repair, transcription, and splicing. As experimental identification of DBPs is time-consuming and sometimes biased toward prediction, constructing an effective DBP model represents an urgent need, and computational methods that can accurately predict potential DBPs based on sequence information are highly desirable.
