Fractional exhaled nitric oxide as a potential biomarker for radiation pneumonitis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: A pilot study

Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate repetitive fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurements during high-dose radiation therapy (HDRT) and to evaluate the use of FeNO to predict symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP)...

Hesperidin encapsulation in mung bean isolate protein-dextran conjugate-stabilized nanoemulsions: Preparation and characterization

Encapsulation and protection of hesperidin (HES) in mung bean protein isolate (MPI)-dextran (DX) conjugate-stabilized nanoemulsions (MDC NEs) were investigated in this study. The degree of grafting of MDC prepared by a dry-heating method re...

Antimicrobial topical polymeric films loaded with Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA), boswellic acid and silver nanoparticles: Optimization, characterization, and biological activity

The study examined the antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of pure Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA), boswellic acid (70%) and AKBA loaded nanoparticles as topical polymeric films. The optimized concentration (0.05 % w/v) of pure A...

Comparative Evaluation of Unpeeled Cassava (Manihot esculenta) and Tacca (Tacca involucrata) Tuber Flours as Substrates for Bioethanol Production

The ever-increasing demand for alternatives to fossil fuel due to its negative impacts on the environment and high prices have resulted in the search for feedstock for bioethanol production. Cassava is one of the major staple foods that is ...
