The most prevalent liver ailments are hepatitis, alcoholic or non-alcoholic liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatic venous-occlusive disease, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Method: Literature was searched through various online resources for the recent advances in liver-targeted site-specific delivery using various approaches. We focused on the use of novel targeted delivery to improve Drug efficacy, dose reduction and Rapid onset of action. Results: Novel medicines aim to minimize unfavorable side effects by either sustaining drug action at a set rate or delivering the drug at a suitable time in the body. Therapeutic nanocarriers and their surface modification with particular ligands including carbohydrates, peptides, proteins, and antibodies are two main strategies that have been suggested to optimize the transport of various medications to the liver and hepatocytes. It subsequently lowers the toxicity and prolongs the drug's time in the systemic circulation. Conclusion: The current review provides information on various liver illnesses as well as the targeting techniques used to concern hepatic anatomy and disease etiologies.","PeriodicalId":91888,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nanotechnology and nanomedicine","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85923804","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}

EEG signals were identified on their frequency ranges as delta (from 0.5 to 4 Hz), theta (from 4 to 7 Hz), alpha (from 8 to 12 Hz), beta (from 16 to 31 Hz), and gamma (from 36 to 90 Hz). Stress is a sense of emotional tension caused by several life events. For example, worrying about something, being under pressure, and facing significant challenges are causes of stress.The human body is affected by stress in various ways.It promotes inflammation, which affects cardiac health. The autonomic nervous system is activated during mental stress. Posttraumatic stress disorder and Alzheimer's diseasearecommon brain stress disorders. Several methods have been used previously to identify stress,for instance,magnetic resonance imaging,single-photon emission computed tomography and EEG. EEG identifiesthe electrical activity in the human brain by applyingsmall electrodes positioned on the scalp of the brain. It is a usefulnon-invasive method andcollects feedback from stress hormones. In addition, it can serve as a reliable tool for measuring stress.Furthermore, evaluating human stress in real-time is complicated and challenging.

The HHV of 16.01 MJ/ Kg, H/C of 0.127, O/C of 0.96, high volatile matter of 87.85 wt.% and low ash content of 1.55 wt.% Albizia zygia sawdust makes it a good biofuel. Its empirical formula from elemental ratios combination is CH0.127 O0.96 N0.057 . There were insignificant volumes of oxides of nitrogen and sulphur produced during its pyrolysis since %N & %S are relatively low (2.63 & 0) wt.% respectively. Its TG/DTG profile showed devolatilization of sawdust began at 230 o C and the pyrolysis temperature was in the range of 420- 600 o C. Its fixed bed pyrolysis recorded maximum value of bio-oil at 450 o C. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of oxygenated compounds in the sawdust and its crude bio-oil. The analysis of the obtained bio-oil using GC-FID showed that significant quantity of -OH compounds were produced from the sawdust through pyrolysis though the obtained quantity is not economical. Sintering and slagging-fouling indicators such as; [Na2 O + K2 O] / [SiO2 ]= 0.0695 showed (unlikely sintering inclination); Base/Acid=0.438 (low ash deposition tendency); [SiO2 ]/([Al2 O3 ]=5.44 & [Fe2 O3 ] / [CaO]=0.28 (low ash deposition tendencies respectively); slagging viscosity index= 68.58 (low slagging tendency); %(SiO2 )=55.18 (high); Babcock (Rs)= 4.38x 10-5 & Fouling indices (Fu)= 1.68x10-2 (low deposition tendencies); Total alkalis (TA) =0.0097 ( Low fouling tendency).

UV–vis spectroscopy was used to examine the nanoparticles, which revealed a peak about 258 nm, which is typical of ZnO NPs. The functional groups that recorded absorption bands at 564 and 574 cm-1, showing the presence of ZnO NPs, were identified using the Fourier transform infrared spectra. X-ray diffraction exhibited high purity crystalline ZnO NPs, demonstrating the effectiveness of MSs on crystal size by having the smallest size on Quran sound (20.9 nm). Furthermore, the MSs had an impact on the morphology of ZnO NPs, which ranged from spherical agglomerated to nanotubular forms.
