Adhesion of bacteria on surfaces and the resultant biofilm formation is a great risk to human health care services, food packaging storage, marine industry. This has necessitated need for scientific community industries continually develop ways fabricating that can prevent bacterial adhesion, kill adhered bacteria, prevent/disrupt formation. Therefore, this review focused providing an up-to-date discussion recent strategies adopted by researchers in design antibacterial surfaces. It highlighted different surface characterization techniques, discussed mechanism adhesion formation, reviewed method their industrial applications, emphasized advantages drawbacks these proposed outlooks future designs.

Clinical and Biochemical Implications of Hyaluronic Acid in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Personalized Medicine, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(12), P. 1647 - 1647

Published: Nov. 26, 2023

Hyaluronic acid (HA) naturally occurs as a biopolymer in the human body, primarily connective tissues like joints and skin. Functioning vital element of synovial fluid, it lubricates joints, facilitating fluid movement diminishing bone friction to protect articular well-being. Its distinctive attributes encompass notable viscosity water retention capacities, ensuring flexibility absorbing shock during motion. Furthermore, HA has gained significant attention for its potential benefits various medical applications, including rehabilitation. Ongoing research explores properties functions, especially biomedical applications several clinical trials, with focus on role improving rehabilitation outcomes. But biochemical implications musculoskeletal have yet be fully explored. This review thoroughly investigates functions while highlighting different special emphasis The presented findings provide evidence that HA, natural substance, enhances outcomes through exceptional mechanical effects.

Antimicrobial and Superhydrophobic CuONPs/TiO₂ Hybrid Coating on Polypropylene Substrates against Biofilm Formation

ACS Omega, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 9(45), P. 45376 - 45385

Published: Oct. 29, 2024

Biofilm formation in common public places and hospitals is of great concern. Active antimicrobial coatings can prevent the bacterial biofilms spreading primary secondary infections caused by contagious bacteria viruses. In present work, we report a simple spray coating process using copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed titanium dioxide (TiO
