The potential of microalgae as a source of bioremediation based on wastewater has received increasing interest throughout the world. A freshwater microalga Chlorella vulgaris was investigated for its ability to reduce salinity from six different polychem industrial wastewaters which were diluted in microalgae in three different proportions (namely, 1:6, 1:1 and 2:1). The results reveled that C. vulgaris grew in wastewater of chemical and fertilizer company, obtained value of pH, salinity, DO, salinity and TDS did not change while absorbance value decreased from day 0 to day 30 due to highly acidic nature. For polymer, dye, RO, and petroleum industry wastewater, the absorbance and pH value increase for all concentration. The lowest salinity and TDS for poly, dye, RO and petroleum industry were all at the concentration of 2:1. The result showed that, Chlorella sp. managed to reduce the salinity for wastewater polymer, dye, RO, and petroleum industry, at concentration of 2:1 which were 3.67 %, 4.53 %, 5.4 %, and 4.91 % respectively. The results suggest that the potential of removing nutrient from wastewater by microalgae cultivation as production feedstock.

Bioelectronic processes occurring in the human biological system plays an important role in shaping sensual perception and human mental functions. The discovery of the piezoelectric, pyroelectric effect, as well as semiconductivity in biological tissues shed new light on the human biological system. This created the opportunity to search for new interpretative routes for the functioning of mental processes. This means that the biochemical process conditioning ionic conductivity is not the only process in the biological system, which is why the biochemical model of life is insufficient to describe the nature of mental processes.

In this article, the author presents his six-month research results, from September 2019 through February 2020, to identify a probable internal communication model between the brain nervous system and certain vital internal organs, specifically the stomach and liver regarding postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) production. The author utilized his GH-Method: math-physical medicine (MPM) approach to explore a T2D patient’s glucose production situation from a scientific view of the brain and nervous system’s functionalities. If this specific approach and above interpretation are accurate, we can then “trick” our brain into producing a “less” amount of glucose after food intake without altering or sacrificing the needed food nutritional balance. As a result, T2D patients can simply change their cooking method in order to lower both of their peak PPG values and their average PPG levels.

It is currently the tumor size measured by RECIST criteria that is considered an indication for objective response to any effective therapy in cancer, however in advanced solid tumors, this indicator has been debated recently as it fails to correlate with clinical response, quality of life and even overall survival. In this short but large sample size case review, we look into a meaningful potential substitute for such metrics, defined by surrogates of tumor burden, and correlate that with biomarkers that can be easily measured through blood sample. We suggest further studies to be considered to validate our findings and propose a shift in current clinical practice by further generation of hypothesis, based on our review.

The freshwater macroalgae (Cladophora glomerata), a filamentous green alga, collected from the sub-branch of the dam canal, was identified based on morpho-anatomical characters and chemical compositions. The algal biomass containing carbohydrate, protein, lipid, contents were 31.65± 1.5, 13.7± 1.5 and 2.05± 1.5 wt.%, respectively. Also, C. glomerata has chlorophylls and carotenoids pigments were 258.35±2.16 and 79.54±0.67 μg/ml, respectively. Furthermore, to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of methanolic solvent extracts derived from C. glomerata against bacteria and fungus. The feasibility of utilizing C. glomerata extracts as a potential source for the antibacterial, antifungal properties was investigated. The methanol solvent extracts of C. glomerata used in this article have revealed significant bacterial strains, namely, B. substilis, K. pneumonia, P. aeruginosa, P. vlgaris, S. aureus and E. coli. The Epidermophyton floccosum shows that higher inhibition was reached to 91.02 %. Fungal strains C. albicans, E. floccosum, M. canis, M. phaseolina, P. oedochilum, R. solani, A. flevus, N. oryzae and T. hamatum were examined with C. glomerata extracts. Staphylococcus aureus express that highed positive control Ampicillin compared to other fungus species in this article. These results suggest that the methanol extracts of C. glomerata possess an effective wide spectrum of antimicrobial and antifungal, which can assist as a remarkable source for antimicrobial compounds.

Currently, coronavirus COVID-19 has affected 210 countries around the world, killed more than 200,000 and infected more than 2.7 million, according to worldometer, April 24, 2020. Home-care is especially important in these situations because hospitals are not seemingly safe during pandemic outbreaks. Also, the chance to get out of the home during the lockdown period is limited. Telemedicine and telehealth technologies are especially effective during epidemic outbreaks, when health authorities recommend implementing social distance systems. Telephone-based measures improve efficiency by linking appropriate information and feedback. In addition to increasing access to healthcare, telemedicine is a fruitful and proactive way to provide a variety of benefits to patients seeking healthcare; diagnose and monitor critical and chronic health conditions; improve healthcare quality and reduce costs.
