Adsorption Study using Water Hyacinth as an Adsorbent
Abstract: Heavy metals are widely used in numerous industries such as paints and pigments, glass production, mining operation, electroplating, battery manufacturing and textile industries. The significant losses of heavy metals occur during the manufacturing processes and these lost heavy metals are discharged in the effluent. As they move from one ecological trophic level to another, metallic species start damaging the ecosystem. They also become difficult to track as they move up …

Curvularia spp. and Curvularia Infections: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Curvularia spp., dematiaceous (melanin-pigmented) fungi in the family Pleosporaceae, emerge as opportunistic pathogens that cause phaeohyphomycosis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, and keratitis. This review dissects their pathogenesis via melanized cell walls, conferring tissue invasion, protease secretion, and immune evasion in immunocompromised hosts. Clinical manifestations span cutaneous (70%), sinopulmonary (20%), disseminated (5-10%), and CNS forms, mimicking aspergillosis or mucormycosis. Laboratory diagnosis hinges on histopathology (irregular septate hyphae, 3-8 µm, brown on Fontana-Masson), …
