Computational Nanomaterial Design: Towards the Realization of Nanoparticle Design in Cancer Treatment- Crimson Publishers

Computational Nanomaterial Design: Towards the Realization of Nanoparticle Design in Cancer Treatment- Crimson Publishers Cancer is one of the leading causes of human mortality [1]. To compound the issue, cancers can occur in many parts of the human body. A new methodology was developed to use radiotherapy to kill cancer cells or control its growth. There are two ways of using this method: external radiation, in which radiation in the form of x-rays bombards the target area from the outside, and internal radiation, in which a small amount of radioactive substance is surgically placed in the vicinity of the cancer cells [2]. Normally, the former method is used for treatment, but this can potentially affect non-cancerous cells and can cause side effects and other unintended problems later on. https://crimsonpublishers.com/rmes/fulltext/RMES.000726.php For more open access journals in crimson publishers Please click on link: https://crimsonpublishers.com For more articles on Resea...

Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology and Some Perspectives on its Future- A Mini Review- Crimson Publishers

Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology and Some Perspectives on its Future- A Mini Review- Crimson Publishers A digital money built on cryptographic principles that has gained popularity recently is referred to as a cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is a decentralised cryptocurrency that records all transactions on a distributed, append-only public ledger called a blockchain. The incentive-compatible Proof-of-Work (PoW)-based decentralized consensus procedure, which is upheld by nodes in the network known as miners, is essential to the security of bitcoin. As the market continues to rise, interest in Bitcoin appears to be increasing. The underlying concepts of Bitcoins and Blockchains are the same, as is briefly addressed in this review. Blockchain is a breakthrough technology that has multiple implementations, ranging from smart contracts to cryptocurrencies, and is discussed in several studies as a potential solution to a number of problems. https://crimsonpublishers.com/rmes/fulltext/RMES.0007...

COVID-19 “A Novel Great Imitator” and Its Cause-Effect Relationship on the Skin- Crimson Publishers

COVID-19 “A Novel Great Imitator” and Its Cause-Effect Relationship on the Skin- CrimsonPublishers   The emergence of the new coronavirus in December 2019, the main actor in the current COVID-19 pandemic and type 2 acute respiratory distress syndrome (SARS-CoV-2), initially allowed elucidating the particular respiratory symptoms of the disease that regularly it culminated in severe respiratory distress requiring mechanical ventilation and caused death in a considerable percentage of those infected. Over time, other symptoms were recognized, including the appearance of skin lesions. Initial reports of skin manifestations were documented by Italian dermatologists, probably because Italy was the first European country to be severely affected by the pandemic. The general clinical presentation, course, and outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children differ from that in adults. In studies carried out during the first wave of the pandemic, it was observed that from 20.4% to 45% of patie...

Recent Developments of Decentralized Clinical Trial Technology in Korea- Crimson Publishers

Recent Developments of Decentralized Clinical Trial Technology in Korea- CrimsonPublishers   Clinical trials are routinely performed on human participants to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new treatments such as drugs and medical devices. Recent advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have led to the development of Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs). DCTs allow participants to participate in various types of clinical trials without having to visit hospitals. Data collection and frequent interactions between participants and medical staff can be possible via remote monitoring environments. In addition, the costs and time for clinical trials conduction can be significantly reduced. The development of ICT-based DCT technologies has already initiated. However, the adoption of DCTs was facilitated by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Interest in and research on DCTs has also grown in Korea. This study describes the present state of DCT ...

The Laminous Subsumption-Epidermal Inclusion Cyst- Crimson Publishers

The Laminous Subsumption-Epidermal Inclusion Cyst- Crimson Publishers   Preface Epidermal inclusion cyst is a frequently discerned, benign, noncontagious, cutaneous cyst incorporated with lamellar keratin. As the cyst wall is engendered from an infundibular portion of hair follicle, the lesion may preponderantly be designated as an infundibular cyst. Sebaceous glands do not engender epidermal inclusion cyst and sebum does not configure as an intra-cavitary component. Thus, the terminology of “sebaceous cyst” is unwarranted and requires circumvention. Additionally designated as epidermoid cyst, epidermal cyst, follicular cyst- infundibular type, inclusion cyst or keratin cyst, the stable epidermal inclusion cyst may progress gradually. Normal cutaneous bacterial flora as Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus epidermidis may infect an epidermal inclusion cyst. Disease Characteristics Generally, epidermal inclusion cyst occurs due to damage to pilo-sebaceous unit and is discerne...

Correction of Metabolic Imbalance and Formation of Amino Acid Pool in Cardiovascular Pathology- Crimson Publishers

Correction of Metabolic Imbalance and Formation of Amino Acid Pool in Cardiovascular Pathology- Crimson Publishers   A review of data on the mechanisms of formation of the pool of free amino acids in cardiovascular insufficiency and methods for correcting of metabolic imbalance. The relevance of studies on the role of amino acids in the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of Cardiovascular Insufficiency (CVI) is primarily due to the significant practical results of the use of highly purified substances of this class of compounds and their compositions in the treatment of cardiovascular pathology [1-7]. At the same time, the most significant number of applied research is devoted to the search for marker amino acids or their derivatives for the diagnosis of heart and vascular diseases [8-12]. It has been convincingly demonstrated that elimination or correction of changes in intermediate metabolism can be achieved by using individual amino acids and their derivatives, or by com...

Escherichia coli Harboring Mcr-1 on a Novel Plasmid in a Mink in Eastern China- Crimson Publishers

Escherichia coli Harboring Mcr-1 on a Novel Plasmid in a Mink in Eastern China- Crimson Publishers   In the current study, we described the characterization of an mcr-1-positive E. coli isolate from a dead mink in Dongping Lake, China. The molecular characterization of plasmids was also investigated. The strain was resistant to colistin, but it remained susceptible to several other agents, including amikacin, piperacillin-tazobactam, all carbapenems, and ESBLs. E. coli Mink_1 belonged to sequence type 140. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) showed that two plasmids, pM1mcr and pM1ctx, coexisted in the same bacterial. Blast and phylogenetic tree imply that Epidemic plasmids are vehicles for the dissemination of colistin resistance genes among the Enterobacterales. Restrictive use of antibiotics in animal husbandry should be taken to reduce the dissemination of mcr-1. https://crimsonpublishers.com/rmes/fulltext/RMES.000720.php For more open access journals in crimson publishers Pl...

These plants, with wide adaptation limits, are well adapted to temperate and tropical regions. Although it is found in the natural flora of almost every region in our country, the Aegean and Mediterranean regions have an important position in terms of endemic species of the family. Although there are many aromatic plant species belonging to the family Lamiaceae described as thyme in Turkey, especially species containing the essential oil carvacrol and thymol ...

Natural Patterns and Magnetic and Mental Processes of Coronavirus Activation and Neutralization- Crimson Publishers

Natural Patterns and Magnetic and Mental Processes of Coronavirus Activation and Neutralization- Crimson Publishers For twenty years, humanity has seen the third attempt at the transition of coronavirus to humans. The vaccine has been found, but coronavirus transitions will not stop even with the improvement of medicine. Nobel laureate in medicine Professor Luc Montagnier argues that vaccines may not live up to humanity’s hopes of getting rid of COVID-19. Collective immunity for coronavirus has not been developed, repeated infections are more and more common, beds of seriously ill people are not empty, and mortality is running high, no one knows what will happen to all of us. In Israel, where vaccination has long been compulsory, and over 60% of the population, including underage children, have been vaccinated, the incidence is not just declining, but still breaking all records. So, the maximum number of cases here was revealed on September 1 - 16,629, which almost caught up with Rus...

Nanotechnology as an Alternative to Chemotherapy- Crimson Publishers

Nanotechnology as an Alternative to Chemotherapy- Crimson Publishers “I would better die than lose my hair”, said one of my close relatives. She had cancer and she was advised chemotherapy. She has seen bald heads of men and women having gone through chemotherapy. Not only this; they were found fatigued, feeling and being sick, getting frequent Infections, anaemia, bruising and bleeding, sore mouth, loss of appetite, memory loss, concentration problem, sleep problem, sex and fertility issues, diarrhoea and constipation, emotional problems and much more. Being a learned woman; she knew that the drugs used for chemotherapy are powerful, highly toxic and they can still cause damage to healthy cells.

Benefits of Camel Milk- Crimson Publishers

Benefits of Camel Milk- Crimson Publishers Camel milk is rich in many nutrients that are important for overall health. It has been shown to lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity in people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The milk contains insulin-like proteins, which may be responsible for its antidiabetic activity. The milk contains compounds that appear to fight various disease-causing organisms. The two main active components in camel milk are lactoferrin and immunoglobulins, proteins that may give camel milk its immune-boosting properties. Lactoferrin has antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Camel milk has been studied for its effects on behavioral conditions in children, and people suggest that it may aid those with autism. It’s also studied for its effects on behavioral conditions in children, and people suggest that it may aid those with autism. The disadvantage of camel milk is more expensive, may not be pasteur...

Novel Z-Nanofiber Sheet Mask of High Particle Collection Efficiency, Easy Breathing and Resistant To Water Vapor-Crimson Publishers

Novel Z-Nanofiber Sheet Mask of High Particle Collection Efficiency, Easy Breathing and Resistant To Water Vapor-Crimson Publishers Nonwoven fabric sheet is usually used as mask due to the comparatively high particles removal performance and ease of breathing. The diameter of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 virus), including various mutants, is considered to be about 50nm to 150nm which is a size that can be removed by the nonwoven fabric sheet mask according to the particle collection Air Filter Mechanism Theory (AFMT) as shown in Figure 1. The most disturbing problems are that large amounts of aerosols of various sizes, including many viruses, are released from the mouth by coughing, and those around the diameter of 300nm slip through the mask according to the AFMT. In order to solve the problem, the electric charge is usually given to the mask. Such modification, however, loses the effectiveness in the presence of water molecules in the breathing. Those are explained in Figure 2. https...

Ultra-Fast Detection of Loosened Bolts Based on Binary Image Processing- Crimson Publishers

Ultra-Fast Detection of Loosened Bolts Based on Binary Image Processing- CrimsonPublishers   In this paper, we offer a new method for detecting tight or loosened bolts based on image processing. The proposed method is independent of bolt appearances, and no height detector is needed. Firstly, several pictures are taken from the bolts in tight and different loosened states for training the system. After the training step, the status of the study bolts is processed by MATLAB software. By using image processing techniques including noise removal, Circular Hough Transform (CHT), transformation of colored images to grayscale, Otsu thresholding, binary complement of Otsu thresholding, enhancement of images with dilation structure element, and after calculating the area of the bolts, the decision about the states of the bolts can be accurately determined based on the number of zero pixels. The proposed method has the advantages of the low calculation process, very fast, and high preci...

Conservative Respiratory Therapeutic Management of COVID-19- Crimson Publishers

Conservative Respiratory Therapeutic Management of COVID-19- Crimson Publishers   COVID-19 symptoms can linger for weeks or even months after the initial infection. This phenomenon has been dubbed “long covid” by some. Because the coronavirus primarily affects the lungs, one of the long COVID-19 breathing symptoms after initial recovery can be ongoing breathlessness. The key symptoms of COVID-19 virus are cough, fever, breathlessness, anxiety, delirium, and agitation, but you may also have fatigue, muscle ache and headache [1]. Please note that severe breathlessness may cause anxiety, which may increase the breathlessness further. This leaflet has some simple breathing exercises you can do to help relieve the symptoms of breathlessness, Depression, and anxiety if you are self-isolating at home.
