Fabrication of Cobalt Ferrite Nanoparticles with okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) extract in a Microwave Reactor

In recent years, metal oxide nanoparticles have been the object of study because of their unique optical, electronic, and magnetic properties. Cobalt ferrites (CoFe2O4) are materials that have high magnetocrystalline anisotropy and coercivity and are used in several applications such as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, biosensors, magnetic hyperthermia, and localized drug delivery. In the present work, the functionalization of the nanoparticles was performed with bioactives from okra extract (Abelmoschus esculentus).

Intestinal obstruction secundary to gallstone ileus: A Case Reports and a sistematic review

Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis, responsible for 4% of all cases of abdominal mechanical obstruction. Is caused by calculus impact in gastrointestinal treatment after a bilioenteric fistula which, in 60% of cases, is cholecystoduodenal. His treatment is eminently surgical. The authors report a clinical case of a 68-year-old patient, who appeared at the Nova Iguaçu General Hospital, suffering from abdominal distension, associated with the elimination of flatus and feces.

Role of zinc deficiency in covid-19 infection

There is no doubt that zinc is one of the micro-minerals essential for the growth and healthy construction of the body.Besides, several studies have recorded that it is extremely important for the development of the immune system.Thus, people with deficient levels of zinc are more susceptible to infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and cancer.This study article aimed to provide an illustrative review of zincrole in alleviating potential symptoms of COVID-19 infection.Because zinc deficiency contributes to respiratory infections, it is considered a remarkableindicator of the relationsh

Antagonistic effect of ceramic industry soil streptomycesagainst plant pathogens

The various diseases that occur during the growth of plants usually cause a significant reduction in production and quality of agricultural products. Actinomycetes, especially Streptomyces spp., become a valuablebiological control resource due to their preponderant abilities to produce various secondary metabolites with novel structure and remarkable biological activity. The potassium solubilizing actinomycetes isolated from the ceramic soil industries were carried out anantagonistic effect against various soil borne phytopathogenic fungiand bacteria.

An Experimental Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of lavender oil sitzbath on Episiotomy pain and wound healing among Postnatal Mothers who have undergone Normal Vaginal Delivery in Selected Hospitals of Hubballi

Background: Motherhood is a beautiful process, where by mothers safely delivers a child. It is the magic of creation. During child birth, the women may sustain some degree of perineal trauma due to perineal tear or surgical incision called episiotomy. The care of episiotomy is an important aspect of postnatal care. One of the suggested methods is a regular antiseptic sitzbath. Nowadays, using alternative and complimentary therapies such as Lavender oil in aromatherapy have been recognized in obstetrics. It has antibacterial, antifungal, sedative, antidepressant and healing properties.

A pre-experimental study to assess the effectiveness of planned health education on knowledge regarding prevention of myocardial infarction among hypertensive patients residing in selected area of Jalandhar, Punjab

The heart serves as a vital organ that pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation and subsequently distributes this oxygenated blood throughout the body. It takes approximately 20 seconds for the heart to circulate blood to every cell in the body. Without oxygen-rich blood, cells would perish, resulting in significant organ damage. A heart-healthy lifestyle includes proper nutrition, consistent physical activity, keeping a healthy body weight, abstaining from smoking, consuming alcohol in moderation, abstaining from recreational drugs, managing hypertension, and effectively handling stress.
