Global overpopulation, industrial expansion, and urbanization have generated massive amounts of wastes. This is considered as a significant worldwide challenge that requires an urgent solution. Additionally, remarkable advances in the field of biomedicine have impacted the entire spectrum of healthcare and medicine. This has paved the way for further refining of the outcomes of biomedical strategies toward early detection and treatment of different diseases. Various nanomaterials (NMs) have been dedicated to different biomedical applications including drug delivery, vaccinations, imaging modalities, and biosensors. However, toxicity is still the main factor restricting their use. NMs recycled from different types of wastes present a pioneering approach to not only avoid hazardous effects on the environment, but to also implement circular economy practices, which are crucial to attain sustainable growth. Moreover, recycled NMs have been utilized as a safe, yet revolutionary alternative with outstanding potential for many biomedical applications. This review focuses on waste recycled NMs, their synthesis, properties, and their potential for multiple biomedical applications with special emphasis on their role in the early detection and control of multiple diseases. Their pivotal therapeutic actions as antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant nanodrugs, and vaccines will also be outlined. The ongoing advancements in the design of recycled NMs are expanding their diagnostic and therapeutic roles for diverse biomedical applications in the era of precision medicine.
Background The ever increasing pests and diseases occurring during vegetable crop production is a challenge for agronomists and farmers. One of the practices to avoid or control the attack of the causal agents is the use of pesticides, including herbicides, insecticides nematicides, and molluscicides. However, the use of these products can result in the presence of harmful residues in horticultural crops, which cause several human diseases such as weakened immunity, splenomegaly, renal failure, hepatitis, respiratory diseases, and cancer. Therefore, it was necessary to find safe and effective techniques to detect these residues in horticultural crops and to monitor food security. Main body The review discusses the use of conventional methods to detect pesticide residues on horticultural crops, explain the sensitivity of nanoparticle markers to detect a variety of pesticides, discuss the different methods of rapid test paper technology and highlight recent research on rapid test paper detection of pesticides. Conclusions The methodologies discussed in the current review can be used in a certain situation, and the variety of methods enable detection of different types of pesticides in the environment. Notably, the highly sensitive immunoassay, which offers the advantages of being low cost, highly specific and sensitive, allows it to be integrated into many detection fields to accurately detect pesticides.
Background Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) represents approximately 7%-10% of congenital heart diseases (CHDs), and it is the most common cyanotic CHD, with 0.23-0.63 cases per 1,000 births. In our case report we are reviewing the added value of three dimensional echocardiography in the assessment of degree of infundibular and valvular stenosis in tetralogy of Fallot. Case report A 29-year-old female patient with history of congenital heart disease (Fallot’s tetrology) and history of total surgical correction at the age of 10 presented to our facility by dyspnea grade III that started 1 month before presentation .On examination; an ejection systolic murmur was heard over the pulmonary area with palpable thrill. Electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed normal sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 75bpm with right axis deviation and right ventricular hypertrophy voltage criteria. Transthoracic two dimensional echocardiography revealed increased thickness of the right ventricle (RV) free wall , and aliasing of the color Doppler flow across the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) with a peak systolic gradient across the RVOT 69mmHg . By performing three dimensional transesophageal echocardiography we were able to demonstrate the RVOT narrowing in RVOT enface view and by using specific software we were able to demonstrate the morphology of the pulmonary valve and the pulmonary valve orifice area and we found that the pulmonary valve is a bicuspid valve as shown and the pulmonary valve orifice area was 3.8cm2 signifying the absence of significant valvular stenosis. Conclusion 3D echocardiography in adult congenital heart disease provides unique projections from the living complex anatomy (such as en face views) and true volumetric quantification without geometric assumptions Abstract P696 Figure.
