As a continuous effort to discover potential neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors, two series of benzimidazole derivatives consisting of esters, 5(a–g) and carboxylic acid moieties, 6(a–g) were synthesised under conventional and microwave conditions. The efficiency of both methods was compared, and their ability to inhibit the action of NA enzyme was

The emergence of resistance to pathogenic bacteria has resulted from the misuse of antibiotics used in wound treatment. Therefore, nanomaterial-based agents can be used to overcome these limitations. In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL)/gelatin/graphene oxide electrospun nanofibers (PGO) are functionalized via plasma treatment with the monomeric g

Green and blue hydrogen are two types of hydrogen generated from renewable energy sources and fossil fuels, respectively. Green hydrogen is created by splitting water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen using renewable energy sources such as wind, solar or nuclear power in a process known as electrolysis. Blue hydrogen, on the other hand, is produce

Steam methane reforming (SMR) is a common technique for hydrogen production, however CO2, which is created as a by-product, needs to be captured. Chemical absorption utilizing amine solvents is the most economically practical method of CO2 capturing. Amines are a class of organic compounds that are commonly used as chemical solvents for carbon capt

Abu Tammam is considered a great Arab poet of his time. He created various poems from different topics such as spinning, praise, satire, and some of his poems include nature, poetry about spring. On the other hand, Matsuo Basho was one of the most famous Japanese poets, but the greatest in writing haiku and most of his poetry are about nature and i

Femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is an important post-procedural complication following percutaneous access/intervention. Whilst it is uncommon, it causes significant anxiety among clinicians including interventionists as it exposes the clinician to litigation concerns. The management of post-percutaneous access pseudoaneurysm can divided into several

The increasing prevalence of profanity on social media platforms raises concerns about its impact on communication and public perception. While studies on online incivility are growing, there is limited research on the use of harsh language on Twitter among Malaysians. Consequently, little is known about how profanity in the commentary sections of

Plasmonics are light and free electrons interaction in metal nanostructures. Free electrons are oscillated and known as plasmon when light hits the metal. Matched plasmon/ light at respective frequency/ momentum generates a resonance at maximum excitation of plasmonic energy. A resonance shift indicates significant molecular binding for biological

Introduction: The study, conducted at Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre, aimed to compare outcomes in bronchospasm-treated children using metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) with spacers versus nebulizers. The primary focus was on assessing the length of stay (LOS) and treatment costs associated with each modality. The hypothesis anticipated no significant

Introduction: It is common for dental practitioners to encounter stress, repetitive movements, and prolonged static postures that lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). As a multifactorial disorder, MSD results in discomfort or pain in the affected body area. The MSD can adversely affect one’s job performance if the symptoms are left untreated.
