Bangladesh is widely recognized as one of the dengue prone nations, and empirical evidence has consistently demonstrated an upward trend in severity disease over time. With persistent occurrence ongoing presence COVID-19, which not been fully eradicated may persist for uncertain period time, there a high probability co-infection between these 2 illnesses. Given circumstances, concurrent COVID-19 epidemics, along with potential co-infection, pose overwhelming burden on healthcare systems that are already grappling challenges meeting existing demand. Due to lack awareness, inadequate health infrastructure, ineffective prevention initiatives, country now more susceptible threat posed by found be associated severe outcomes, marked significant morbidity mortality. The objective this opinion piece explore gravity Bangladesh, well overcome preventative measures need implemented address severity. This proposes set modern strategies that, when integrated conventional methods, have mitigate severity, avert dengue, halt co-epidemics dengue.

Published: Nov. 1, 2024

The growth of nanoscale sciences enables us to define and design new methods materials for a better life. Health disease prevention are the main issues in human lifespan. Some nanoparticles (NPs) have antimicrobial properties that make them useful many applications. In recent years, NPs been used as antibiotics overcome drug resistance or carriers with features. They can also serve coatings implants different body areas. feature is based on mechanisms. For example, oxidative functions inhibit nucleic acid replication destroy microbial cell membrane well interfere their cellular biochemical cycles. On other hand, disrupt pathogens’ lifecycle by interrupting vital points life, such virus uncoating entry into cells. Many types tested scientists these purposes. Silver, gold, copper, titanium shown most ability remove pathogens inside outside body. this review, authors endeavor comprehensively describe features applications biomedical goals.

Green synthesis of Ag-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles and its efficacy against mosquito larvae and non-target organisms

Deleted Journal, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 1(1)

Published: Feb. 7, 2025

Emerging studies on bimetallic nanoparticles highlight their unique synergistic properties, but efficacy and toxicity require further validation. Silver-palladium (Ag-Pd BNPs), synthesized via eco-friendly biological methods, have demonstrated potential applications in catalysis, sensing, antimicrobial activities etc. However, data against invertebrates remains limited. The current study addresses this gap by presenting the synthesis of Ag-Pd BNPs using a nontoxic aqueous leaf extract plant Citrus limon. were characterized various techniques, was evaluated mosquito larvae nymphs damselfly dragonfly. UV–Vis spectroscopy analysis showed maximum absorption at 300 nm ± 40 for extract, while an absence surface plasmon resonance band observed.
