“…[ 166 ] Aflatoxins are primarily composed of aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), aflatoxin B2 (AFB2) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). [ 167 ] Aflatoxin B1 is the most harmful contributor among these because of its high toxic nature and strong magnetic fields. For these particular reasons it is characterized as a group 1 carcinogen by the international agency for research on cancer.…”

The methodological advancements in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique with nanoscale materials based on noble metals, Au, Ag, and their bimetallic alloy Au-Ag, has enabled the highly efficient sensing of chemical and biological molecules at very low concentration values. By employing the innovative various type of Au, Ag nanoparticles and especially, high efficiency Au@Ag alloy nanomaterials as substrate in SERS based biosensors have revolutionized the detection of biological components including; proteins, antigens antibodies complex, circulating tumor cells, DNA, and RNA (miRNA), etc. This review is about SERS-based Au/Ag bimetallic biosensors and their Raman enhanced activity by focusing on different factors related to them. The emphasis of this research is to describe the recent developments in this field and conceptual advancements behind them. Furthermore, in this article we apex the understanding of impact by variation in basic features like effects of size, shape varying lengths, thickness of core-shell and their influence of large-scale magnitude and morphology. Moreover, the detailed information about recent biological applications based on these core-shell noble metals, importantly detection of receptor binding domain (RBD) protein of COVID-19 is provided.

“…Unfortunately, there are no publications about AFB1 in Laos. However, the toxin has been found in food from all neighboring countries, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, and China [47][48][49][50]. It seems, therefore, reasonable to assume that AFB1 is present in Laos as well.…”

Laos is a landlocked country in South East Asia, ranking fifth for primary liver cancer incidence worldwide. Risk factors that might explain this worrying situation are poorly known. We conducted a review of the literature concerning the etiologies of terminal liver diseases in Laos. A double infectious burden with hepatitis B and C viruses and the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini seems to be the main cause of the high liver cancer incidence. Moreover, it was also suggested that mutagenic substances frequently found in tobacco, alcoholic beverages, fermented fish, and mold-contaminated cereals or nuts, which are all substances heavily consumed by Lao people, lead to the accumulation of DNA mutations in the liver cell genome causing tumor processes. However, the respective proportions of liver cancer cases attributable to each category of infections and substances consumed, as well as the histological nature of the neoplasia are still not precisely documented in Laos. The international medical and scientific communities as well as public health stakeholders should urgently consider the alarming situation of liver health in Laos to stimulate both research and subsequent implementation of prevention policies.
