Immunostimulantsare essential in aquaculture because they strengthen the immune system, enhance disease resistance, and improve the health of cultured aquatic species, especially under poor water quality and stressful conditions. They also promote better growth, survival, and antibody production without harmful side effects. As a safe alternative to antibiotics, immunostimulants support sustainable aquaculture and healthier fi...

Aims Saline sandy soils severely constrain sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) productivity due to low nutrient retention, high salinity, and micronutrient imbalances, particularly boron deficiency. Although humic substances, glauconite, and boron fertilization have individually or pairwise improved crop performance, no previous field study has evaluated their ternary, dose-optimized integration as a multifunctional soil–plant mana...

In current applied research, innovative drug delivery systems have emerged as a strategy for managing plant diseases. The current study demonstrated the usefulness of three nano-drug delivery techniques for suppressing two fungal pathogens: Botrytis fabae and Alternaria alternata , which cause chocolate spot and minor disease leaf spot in Vicia faba plants. This work investigated the delivery of chitosan nanoparticles, carbon...

The rising complexity of wastewater due to industrial and municipal activities poses significant environmental challenges, particularly in Malaysia. This mini review explores the potential of horseshoe crab shell waste as an effective and sustainable adsorbent for wastewater treatment. Horseshoe crab shells, which contain high levels of chitin, can be processed into chitosan, a biopolymer with strong adsorption properties for...

Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs), particularly Ni/Fe-Layered Double Hydroxides (Ni/Fe-LDHs), have attracted significant attention as adsorbents for environmental waste removal. This study investigates the desalination effectiveness of Ni/Fe-LDHs in removing sodium salts via ion exchange and their ability to adsorb ciprofloxacin (Cipro) contaminants from wastewater. Batch adsorption tests were conducted to evaluate the removal...

Across diverse cultures, herbal remedies have been used to alleviate oral discomfort and maintain dental hygiene. This review presents studies on herbal remedies with remarkable antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, anticaries, analgesic, and healing properties. The manuscripts demonstrate the depth of scientific inquiry into herbal remedies used for the management of various oral and dental health conditi...

Background Red ginseng and propolis are well-known antioxidants that have been related to a reduction in oxidative stress. Objective This study evaluated the efficiency of red ginseng and propolis, either in powder or as nano-forms against dexamethasone—induced testicular oxidative challenges in adult male albino rats. Methods Forty rats were divided into 8 equal groups including control negative group that was given vehicle (...

Prebiotics are fibers that promote beneficial gut bacteria and play a pivotal role in enhancing host health. This study delves into the impact of various levels of prebiotics, specifically fructooligosaccharides and β-1,3 glucan (Fβ), on the growth performance, biochemical, hematological parameters, gene expression, histological variations in the internal organs, and disease resistance to Fusarium oxysporum in tilapia ( Oreoch...

Curcumin, a polyphenol, targets multiple signaling molecules and shows activity at the cellular level, supporting its various health benefits. Thereafter, the present study examines the effects of different doses of dietary curcumin on growth indices, feed efficiency, serum metabolites, redox (oxidation) status, immunity, histological assessment, and antioxidant-related genes in red tilapia ( Oreochromis sp, Oreochromis aureus...
