introduction: rapid acute physiology score (raps) and rapid emergency medicine score (rems) are two physiologic models for measuring injury severity in emergency settings. the present study was designed to compare the two models in outcome prediction of trauma patients presenting to emergency department (ed). methods: in this prospective cross-sectional study, the two models of raps and rems we...

Consuming a healthy diet throughout the lifecourse helps prevent malnutrition in all its forms as well as a range of Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and conditions. But the increased production of processed food, rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles have led to a shift in dietary patterns. People are now consuming more foods high in energy, fats, free sugars or salt/sodium, and many do n...

Recently, biosynthesis of nanoparticles has received attention due to an increasing need of developing rapid, simple and ecofriendly protocol. Pathogenicity of some of the organisms and lengthy reaction are the drawbacks involved with biosynthesis. We describe a simple protocol for rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles through biological route using a marine-derived fungus Aspergillus niger. ...
