Electrospinning is currently one of the most used techniques for obtaining various types of nanofibers. In the era of sustainable development, it is essential to utilize environmentally friendly raw materials and solvents. This review summarizes the current state of the art in biopolymer electrospinning using deep eutectic solvents. To date, there have not been too many studies on the simultaneous application of these mixtures and biopolymers in the electrospinning process. Nevertheless, the use of natural origin raw materials and the replacement of conventional organic solvents with deep eutectic solvents appear promising in this technique due to many attractive properties of both the mixtures and biopolymers. This article aims to inspire scientists to further research in this direction, related to the development of electrospinning techniques aimed at reducing the negative environmental impact.

“…In addition, the inability of release of drug in controlled manner makes them incompetent as potential therapeutic agents. On the other hand, porous materials, by virtue of their structure, can serve as competent materials in biomedical application, which includes, drug delivery, tissue engineering, immune engineering and fabrication of biomedical devices [7][8][9][10][11]. Particularly in the realm of drug delivery, the drug molecules get entrapped in the pore of the porous materials, favouring the release of drug molecules in controlled and sustained manner over time [9,12].…”

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained significant attention in recent years as efficient cancer therapeutics owing to their uniform porosity, biocompatibility, diversified structures and stability in the biological medium. This review aimed to explore different synthetic strategies to obtain COFs for biomedical applications. Several synthetic procedures viz. solvothermal synthesis, ionothermal synthesis, microwave synthesis, mechanochemical synthesis, sonochemical synthesis have discussed been in terms of their applications in cancer therapy. The cancer therapeutics involves cancer drug delivery, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photo thermal therapy (PTT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). In some instances, single therapeutics treatments appear as inadequate effect and thus necessitate combination therapies for effective cancer termination with minimal side effects. The current study covers all the main synthetic techniques and uses of COFs in various cancer therapeutic treatments.

“…Considerable debate exists about the optimal management of appendicitis. Several studies have suggested that nonoperative management with antibiotics may be feasible [11,12] . In many hospitals, in patients in whom diagnosis is uncertain and who do not have peritonitis are often managed with a trial of observation to avoid unnecessary surgery.…”

Introduction: An appendectomy is one of the most common emergency surgeries. The delay in diagnosis and treatment of appendicitis can lead to complicated appendicitis. The definitive predictive factor that can diagnose complicated appendicitis is still lacking. The authors aim to assess the role of high serum bilirubin level as a predictor of complicated appendicitis. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among patients with acute appendicitis (AA) between March 2017 and March 2018. Appendicitis cases diagnosed with the help of the Alvarado score undergoing surgery were taken in study and based on the histopathological report, the cases were classified into two groups: uncomplicated and complicated. Preoperatively, biochemical parameters like increased white blood cell count (>11000/cubic millimeter), and level of serum bilirubin >1.4 mg/dl were studied. Informed written consent for the study was taken from the patients with AA. A χ 2 test was applied for the association between categorical variables. Statistical analysis was done with a statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 20; P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 100 patients were enrolled in the study with a mean age of 31.2±18.3 years, and 60% were male. Seventy-four (74%) had uncomplicated appendicitis and 26 (26%) had complicated appendicitis. Mean bilirubin was 1.2±0.8 mg/dl in uncomplicated and 1.8±0.8 mg/dl in complicated groups (P <0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of hyperbilirubinemia as a predictor of complicated appendicitis were 50 and 78.38%, respectively. Conclusion: The study revealed that patients with AA and a higher serum bilirubin level have a higher risk of having complicated appendicitis. Serum bilirubin level helps to predict complicated appendicitis and thus plan for timely and appropriate management. Thus, the study concludes that bilirubin should be used together with clinical examination and other laboratory investigations in the assessment of patients with suspected AA.
