Exploring new technology to diagnose Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) occurs when abnormal blood clots form in deep veins, often in the legs. This condition can lead to severe complications such as amputation or even death. DVT is especially common among older adults, pregnant women, individuals with obesity, cancer patients, and those recovering from surgery. In the United States, an estimated […]
Insights into hearing protection and workplace safety in textile industry
The textile industry, a critical sector of the global economy, faces significant environmental and occupational health challenges, particularly from noise pollution generated by weaving machines. These machines often produce noise levels exceeding the recommended safety threshold, posing serious auditory and non-auditory health risks to workers. Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85 decibels is a […]
Survey on processed potato products manufacturer in Bangladesh
This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of food safety among potato product manufacturers in Bangladesh, with a particular focus on acrylamide, a probable human carcinogen formed during high-temperature cooking processes such as frying and baking. Acrylamide, generated through the Maillard reaction between reducing sugars and asparagine, poses public health risks including carcinogenicity […]
Enhancing safety practices for a safer learning environment
The perception of educational institutions as inherently safe environments is increasingly questioned due to rising safety incidents worldwide. The 2003 dormitory fire at the People’s Friendship University of Russia which killed 41 students and a 2015 lab explosion at China University of Mining and Technology which resulted in one fatality and several injuries are among […]

Membrane technology for water and wastewater treatment
The field of water and wastewater purification is experiencing significant growth, propelled by advancements in ceramic membrane technology. This innovative approach has been expanding at a steady rate of 12% annually due to its numerous inherent advantages. Ceramic membranes are highly stable under both chemical and thermal conditions, exhibit low fouling tendencies, and support long-term […]
Bio-ethanol production from empty fruit bunches
Bioethanol, a renewable energy source, holds significant promise for reducing fossil fuel dependence. A recent study explored a hybrid pathway for producing bioethanol using lignocellulosic biomass, specifically empty fruit bunches (EFB) co-gasified with charcoal. This process, optimized using response surface methodology (RSM), presents a novel approach to syngas fermentation and bioethanol production within an integrated […]
Angiogenesis Outcomes of Metformin Utilization in Diabetes Melitus
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, is a crucial physiological process involved in growth, development, and wound healing. It is also a significant factor in the progression of various diseases, including diabetes mellitus. In diabetic patients, particularly those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), angiogenesis is often impaired due to chronic […]
