Silver nano dots in the size range of ≤ 20 nm can be studied to analyze their usage in the field of orthopaedics. They can be used in bone cement which are used as artificial bpne replacement. Bone cements have been used very successfully to anchor artificial joints like hip joints, knee joints, shoulder and elbow joints in suffering patients in the field of ortho paedic medicine. Polymethyl methacrylate loaded with nanosilver is being considered as bone cement as the nano silver can induce very high antimicrobial activity essential for the killing of infectious microorganisms known for their anti-resistance to currently available antibiotics and antiseptics.The free space between the bone and the prosthesis is filled with bone cement which acts like a elastic buffer zone. This is necessary because the body weight and the bone cement must absorb the forces acting on the body to ensure that the artificial medical implant remains in place over the long term. In this study, we analyze silver nano dots encapsulated bone cement for medical purposes which can prevent surgical infection in replacement surgeries drastically than the methods currently in use. Also in this study it was found due their unique properties they can accelerate the wound healing process at a faster rate than the rest of the conventional methods practiced in the ortho paedics field.","PeriodicalId":16532,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanomedicine & Nanotechnology","volume":"54 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76607763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the influence of pH and acetonitrile (ACN) composition in the mobile phase on chromatographic behavior of tofacitinib (TOF), a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, was investigated in details. First, the chromatographic conditions were optimized using retention factors and pKa values. Then, the developed method was used for the stability studies under various stress conditions, and for the estimation of TOF concentration in tablets. Finally, the method was validated using the International Conference on Harmonization (Q2) guidelines and it was successfully used to separate the TOF degradation products. A linearity range, limit of detection and limit of quantification were determined as 2.0-12.0, 0.416, and 1.260 μg/mL, respectively. Between-day and within-day precisions were found to be as 0.290 and 0.462 for 4 μg/mL, respectively. The result indicates that the developed method is rather effective to separate the parent drug from the degradation products.","PeriodicalId":16532,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanomedicine & Nanotechnology","volume":"33 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89852396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The only solution is to control the spread by conducting massive screening and isolating affected ones from the healthy ones. The research concentration is to develop rapid diagnostics and screening at lower cost. Rapid diagnostic methods are being used and developed worldwide.Multiple studies suggest that RT-PCR, protein testing and CT should be the principal diagnostic instrument for routine testing in patients with COVID-19. But three factors are still indistinct in those diagnostic methods such as rapidity, sensitivity, and specificity. Thus, alternative approaches that provide higher efficiency and lower time requirement are highly appreciated for switching the super spread infectious disease detection.Moderntimes, microfluidics alternatively called lab on a chip or POCT have been widely used in cancer and viral detection, specifically for virus detection in very recent days. The ability of POCT tests to provide short time results,suitable in low resource clinics even at home. So, we saw the importance of miniaturized tools suitable for COVID-19 detection will endure the current expensive methods. Despite the limitations, approved tests are still experiencing good results against a great pandemic. We reviewed and highlighted the point of care testing (PCOT) method is not less than any other screening method by reviewing a wide research setting.","PeriodicalId":16532,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanomedicine & Nanotechnology","volume":"150 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75398800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cryoprotectant cytotoxicity can be reduced by performing the last cryoprotectant/nanoparticle exposure step below zero degrees centigrade at -10C. Tissue viability outcomes can be improved by supplementation of cryoprotectant formulations with disaccharides and nanowarming can rewarm such complex tissues with retention of cell viability from storage temperatures below -135oC to -25oC in 80-100 seconds. It is anticipated that ice-free tissue cryopreservation methods for tissues up to 50 mLs can be developed that do not require the use of nanowarming, since we are already close to achieving this with heart valves at 30 mL volumes. However, at larger volumes nanowarming will likely continue to be the best warming method for retention of tissue cell viability. Further studies to optimize cryopreservation of cardiac muscle, the somewhat fibrous muscle band at the base of heart valves, and pulmonary and aortic arteries need to be performed since it is clear that different heart valve components vary in their preservation requirements. It is anticipated that other complex tissues may also have components with different cryopreservation requirements including nanowarming.","PeriodicalId":16532,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanomedicine & Nanotechnology","volume":"23 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81167514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
