Extracellular One Pot Green Synthesis of Palladium Nanoparticles
Abstract: Extracellular in-situ synthesis of metal nanoparticles using extracts of plants like Azadirachta indica (Neem), and Zingiber officinale (Ginger) has been successfully carried out earlier. In this study, we have developed a novel method to synthesize Palladium nanoparticles by the process of bio-chemical reaction between Palladium salt solution with seed extract of Coriandrum sativum without using any surfactant or external energy. By this method, physiologically stable, bio-compatible Pd nanoparticles (NPs) were …

Nanolithography: A Promising Tool for Precision Nanofabrication
Abstract: Nanolithography is a crucial technique in nanofabrication that involves patterning materials on a manometer scale. With the increasing demand for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronic devices, nanolithography has become an indispensable tool in the semiconductor industry, where it is used to create structures for integrated circuits, sensors, and other nanoelectronic components. The two main types of nanolithography are top-down and bottom-up approaches. In top-down lithography, a bulk material is …

Test and Development of Fixed-Unfixed Cost Accounting Model (FUCAM) in a Hospital Setting
Abstract: The upward escalation of morbidity rate in India has led to an increased demand for hospital services. At the same time, the hospital management rises the healthcare cost substantially in India to harvest at the right time. Similarly, the hospitals doubled the patient care charges, as the admission in the hospitals becomes a nightmare for the people. Here, the paper attempts to understand the difference between the actual cost spent …

Assessment of Various Barriers for Implementation of Nurse Led Birth Clinic among Nursing Staff in Dr. Vitthalrao Vikhe Patil Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni (B.K.)
Abstract: Background: The clinics' managers and experienced nurses have access to resources that would help them in their work. Their work involves skills including changing drugs, starting therapy, and conducting diagnostic tests in accordance with procedures for more than 80% of the time. Though the nurse midwives are legally permitted to conduct deliveries, there are no nurse led birth clinics established. There may be numerous factors involved. Most important is the …

Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications
Abstract: The main problem of drug-based therapy is that the introduced compound is not located in the target area and it is widely dispersed. Colloidal nanoparticle-based treatment can benefit the situation. The human body can concentrate inert nanoparticle by passive targeting. The therapeutic delivery system can be promoted using the surface of gold nanoparticle so that it only targets the specific issues by active targeting. In passive targeting colloidal GNPs can …

Nanotechnology-Enabled Non-Invasive Teeth Whitening: Safety,Efficacy, and Regulatory Perspectives with a Focus on India, Asia, and Developed Countries
Abstract: Demand for tooth whitening is growing worldwide, but conventional peroxide-based bleaching is associated with dentin hypersensitivity, enamel softening, and softtissue irritation, especially under repeated or high-concentration use. Nanotechnology offers a new class of non-invasive whitening strategies that aim to combine esthetic improvement with enamel protection and remineralization. Among these, nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHAP) toothpastes and gels have the most advanced evidence base; in vitro and in situ studies indicate that nanoHAP deposits …
