Development and Performance Evaluation of a Polyethersulfone–Graphene Oxide Ultrafiltration Membrane for Simultaneous Drug Delivery and Virus Removal: An Experimental Investigation
Abstract: The development of multifunctional ultrafiltration membranes for simultaneous controlled drug delivery and viral removal has gained considerable attention in biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, and water purification. Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes offer excellent thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability; however, their hydrophobicity can limit permeability, antifouling performance, and biocompatibility. This study proposes the fabrication of PES–graphene oxide (GO) ultrafiltration membranes using the phase inversion technique, with systematic variation of GO concentration to optimize …

Attendance System Using Smartphone Authentication and Bluetooth Beacons
Abstract: AbstractMost of the institute in India takes attendance to track the progress of students and most of them update attendance manually which is just a waste of time. Some of the methods like Biometric, RFID can be implemented but it takes a lot more time and also has a chance of spreading the deadly virus like Sars-Cov-2 [1]. This paper is aimed at updating attendance of students using the student’s …

Viral Elimination Strategies for Musa spp.
Abstract: Banana is one of the major crops in tropical parts of the world. The banana plant is susceptible to many diseases due to the less genetic diversity in its popular cultivars. Particularly viral diseases can severely destruct quantity and quality of the crop. Four major banana infecting viruses doing the damage- banana bunchy top virus, banana streak virus, banana bract mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus; two other viruses- banana mild …

The Effects of HIV/AIDS Worldwide
Abstract: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which targets immune system conductors (CD4 cells), has infected millions throughout the world. HIV lowers the body's defences by infecting certain bodily fluids (blood, sperm, vaginal fluids, and breast milk) through unprotected sex, contaminated needles, or mother-to-child transmission. Early flu-like symptoms may go unrecognised, but if not treated, HIV advances to AIDS, which is characterised by severe immune system impairment. However, advances in antiretroviral therapy …

Panchkarma in Janpadodhwansa w.s.r. COVID-19 and Its Documentation from Ayurvedic Texts
Abstract: COVID-19 has emerged as a public health crisis and has done caused a disaster at multiple -levels. Manual retrieval of ancient books of Ayurveda was carried out. In From an Ayurvedic point of view, its very difficult to correlate COVID-19 with Aayurvedic terminology, on the basis of causes, symptoms, and complications., Iit can be correlated with various diseases like Janpadodhwansha(~epidemic), Shwasa(respiratory disease), pranaavrit vata(subtype of vata that is seated in …

An AAV Vector for Inducible Gene Expression Preferentially in Muscles
Abstract: Adeno associated viral (AAV) vectors has been used widely in gene therapy and efforts have been made to improve their utility by adding genetic elements that would enable targeting transgene expression to particular cells or tissues of interest and permitting on/off regulation of expression. In this study, we designed a recombinant AAV9 variant PHP.eB vector with muscle creatine kinase (Mck)-derived enhancers, a synthetic muscle-expression promoter, in combination with a third-generation …

A molecular docking study and in silico analysis: targeting the marburg virus protein vp35 using active phytocompounds from alchemilla vulgaris
Abstract: Objective: The Marburg Virus Disease (MVD) is an infectious viral disease originating from African Fruit Bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) that has become the root cause of a fatal hemorrhaging viral fever. As per reports from the WHO, MVD has claimed the lives of millions of people worldwide, with a disease fatality rate ranging from 24% in initial outbreaks to 88% in recent times owing to a difference in viral strains and …

Bacteriophages- A New Frontier in Medicine
Abstract: Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically target and infect bacteria, offering an innovative alternative to traditional antibiotic treatments, especially in the face of rising antibiotic resistance. The resurgence of phage therapy has been driven by the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains and the slowdown in the development of new antibiotics. Phages, unlike antibiotics, target specific bacterial strains, reducing the impact on the natural microbiota and potentially offering a …

Common Diseases of Silkworm and Their Management – A Comprehensive Overview
Abstract: Silkworms (Bombyxmori L.), pivotal to the sericulture industry, are susceptible to various diseases that significantly impact cocoon production and quality. Common silkworm diseases include viral, bacterial, fungal, and protozoan infections. Prominent viral diseases, such as nuclear polyhedrosis (NPV) and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis (CPV) often cause mass mortality in larvae. Bacterial diseases, like flacherie, are typically induced by poor hygiene and environmental stress. Fungal infections, including muscardine caused by Beauveria bassiana, proliferate …
