Cucurbita pepo leaf extract (CPE) was incorporated into electrospun poly(methyl methacrylate)/ halloysite/chitosan/CaCO₃ (PMMA/Hal/CS/CaCO₃) composite nanofibers to develop a novel biomaterial for accelerating wound healing rates. The different nanofibrous scaffolds were successfully fabricated and characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (X...

Huntington’s disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disease, typically begins in the prime of adulthood, followed by a gradual onset of specific mental abnormalities and cognitive and physical impairment. To the best of our knowledge, no medication exists to totally stop the progression of HD. Among numerous therapy techniques, extensive literature reviews have confirmed the medicinal importance of natural products in HD experiment...

In agriculture and public health, insecticides are vital chemicals that help manage diseases and control pests. However, their extensive use has raised concerns about their negative consequences on both humans and animals. Pesticide exposure impacts numerous human organs, including the reproductive system. Infertility is caused by reproductive system disorders, which is why they have received a lot of attention in recent decad...

Fish immunity is significantly impacted by waterborne metal intoxication. Nickel is a ubiquitous metal in aquatic bodies which badly impacts fish immune responses and survival. In the current research, we looked into the possible protective effects of essential oils of tea tree (TTO) and basil (BEO) against nickel exposure in Nile tilapia, or Oreochromis niloticus . To achieve this, 240 Nile tilapia (27.92 ± 0.22 g) were categ...

Subtle memory and cognitive changes may occur in uninephrectomized (Unix) patients long before the development of chronic kidney disease, such changes may be unnoticed. The dietary polyphenol, Resveratrol, displayed various neuroprotective effects, its role in chronic kidney disease is an area of intense studies. This work was designed to investigate the behavioural and molecular changes that may occur following 7 months of Un...

Background DNA barcoding have been considered as a tool to facilitate species identification based on its simplicity and high-level accuracy in compression to the complexity and subjective biases linked to morphological identification of taxa. MaturaseK gene ( MatK gene) of the chloroplast is very vital in the plant system which is involved in the group II intron splicing. The main objective of this study is to determine the r...

A green, simple, quick and economical method is implemented for the first time for the simultaneous estimation of cetirizine (CTZ) and azelastine (AZE) as co-administered eye drops. The method relies on synchronous spectrofluorimetry with ∆λ = 60 nm. Cetirizine can be estimated at 231 nm and AZE can be measured at 294 nm, each at the other’s zero crossing point. All factors affecting the method were studied and properly optimi...
