Efficacy, safety and tolerability of rozanolixizumab in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy: a randomised, subject-blind, investigator-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2a trial and open-label extension study.

BACKGROUND: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a peripheral nerve disorder characterised by weakness and sensory loss. We assessed the neonatal Fc receptor inhibitor rozanolixizumab for CIDP management. METHODS: CIDP01 (NCT03861481) was a randomised, subject-blind, investigator-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2a study. Adults with definite or probable CIDP receiving subcutaneous or intravenous immunoglobulin maintenance therapy were randomised 1:1 to 12 once-weekly subcutaneous infusions of rozanolixizumab 10 mg/kg or placebo, stratified according to previous immunoglobulin administration route. Investigators administering treatment and assessing efficacy, and patients, were blinded. The primary outcome was a change from baseline (CFB) to day 85 in inflammatory Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (iRODS) score. Eligible patients who completed CIDP01 entered the open-label extension CIDP04 (NCT04051944). RESULTS: In CIDP01, between 26 March 2019 and 31 March 2021, 34 patients were randomised to rozanolixizumab or placebo (17 (50%) each). No significant difference in CFB to day 85 in iRODS centile score was observed between rozanolixizumab (least squares mean 2.0 (SE 3.2)) and placebo (3.4 (2.6); difference -1.5 (90% CI -7.5 to 4.5)). Overall, 14 (82%) patients receiving rozanolixizumab and 13 (76%) receiving placebo experienced a treatment-emergent adverse event during the treatment period. Across CIDP01 and CIDP04, rozanolixizumab was well tolerated over up to 614 days; no clinically meaningful efficacy results were seen. No deaths occurred. CONCLUSIONS: Rozanolixizumab did not show efficacy in patients with CIDP in this study, although this could be due to a relatively high placebo stability rate. Rozanolixizumab was well tolerated over medium-to-long-term weekly use, with an acceptable safety profile.

A multicenter matched-cohort analysis of gastroschisis outcomes in infants born before 32 weeks gestation.

OBJECTIVE: To examine neonatal outcomes of infants with gastroschisis born <32 weeks' gestation compared to matched infants without gastroschisis. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective matched-cohort analysis of infants with gastroschisis born <32 weeks' gestation at Children's Hospitals Neonatal Consortium (CHNC) NICUs from 2010 to 2022 compared to gestational age-matched controls. RESULTS: The study included 119 infants with gastroschisis and 357 matched infants; 60% of infants born 29-32 weeks, 23% born 26-28 weeks, and 16% born < 25 weeks. Mortality was not significantly different between groups (11% vs. 9%, p = 0.59). Preterm co-morbidities such as IVH, BPD, ROP, and PVL were similar, as were rates of surgical NEC. Infants with gastroschisis had longer hospital stays (92 vs. 67 days), higher CLABSI and UTIs, and were more likely to need feeding support at discharge. CONCLUSION: Compared to infants without gastroschisis, infants <32 weeks' gestation with gastroschisis had similar risks for inpatient mortality, NEC, and other preterm co-morbidities.

Gabor filter-based statistical features for ADHD detection.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychological disorder that occurs in children and is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Early and accurate diagnosis of ADHD is very important for effective intervention. The aim of this study is to develop a computer-aided approach to detecting ADHD using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Specifically, we explore a Gabor filter-based statistical features approach for the classification of EEG signals into ADHD and healthy control (HC). The EEG signal is processed by a bank of Gabor filters to obtain narrow-band signals. Subsequently, a set of statistical features is extracted. The computed features are then subjected to feature selection. Finally, the obtained feature vector is given to a classifier to detect ADHD and HC. Our approach achieves the highest classification accuracy of 96.4% on a publicly available dataset. Furthermore, our approach demonstrates better classification accuracy than the existing methods.

A Scoping Review: Is Yoga an Effective Intervention for Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation?

There is increasing concern among both healthcare professionals and the general public about the long-term effectiveness and possible adverse effects of medicines used to treat premature ejaculation (PE) and erectile dysfunction (ED). There is also a growing recognition of the advantages of incorporating alternative or traditional approaches into healthcare systems. Yoga is gaining popularity globally and has emerged as a viable adjunct and alternative to add value to patient care and prevention of illnesses, which requires further investigation. This scoping review aimed to explore the effects of yoga as an independent or adjunct intervention in treating ED and PE. In this review study, researchers conducted a systematic literature review from 2000 to 2023 as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Electronic databases of Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and PubMed were used for literature searches. Studies published in the English language on male individuals with ED and PE and those with comorbid stress, anxiety, and depression were also included. Studies on these sexual dysfunctions, comorbid with HIV/AIDS, and severe psychiatric conditions, i.e., schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorders, and substance dependence, except alcohol, were excluded. Ten studies out of the 2016 selected articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. The findings of this scoping review revealed that yoga interventions are more effective in managing PE and ED, with a greater emphasis on the former. Yoga is an effective, safe, and affordable approach recommended for managing erectile functions and PE. Men can improve their quality of life and regain confidence in sexual functioning by incorporating yoga into their routines. The study shows the potential benefits of yoga for both conditions, indicating the need for further robust studies in this area. Researchers advocate practising yoga under professional supervision for optimal safety and guidance.

A serum-induced gene signature in hepatocytes is associated with pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

OBJECTIVE: Pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing problem, but its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We used transcriptomic reporter cell assays to investigate differences in transcriptional signatures induced in hepatocyte reporter cells by the sera of children with and without NAFLD. METHODS: We studied serum samples from 45 children with NAFLD and 28 children without NAFLD. The sera were used to induce gene expression in cultured HepaRG cells and RNA-sequencing was used to determine gene expression. Computational techniques were used to compare gene expression patterns. RESULTS: Sera from children with NAFLD induced the expression of 195 genes that were significantly differentially expressed in hepatocytes compared to controls with obesity. NAFLD was associated with increased expression of genes promoting inflammation, collagen synthesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Additionally, there was lower expression of genes involved in endobiotic and xenobiotic metabolism, and downregulation of peroxisome function, oxidative phosphorylation, and xenobiotic, bile acid, and fatty acid metabolism. A 13-gene signature, including upregulation of TREM1 and MMP1 and downregulation of CYP2C9, was consistently associated with all diagnostic categories of pediatric NAFLD. CONCLUSION: The extracellular milieu of sera from children with NAFLD induced specific gene profiles distinguishable by a hepatocyte reporter system. Circulating factors may contribute to inflammation and extracellular matrix remodeling and impair xenobiotic and endobiotic metabolism in pediatric NAFLD.

Global Cancer Surgery: pragmatic solutions to improve cancer surgery outcomes worldwide.

The first Lancet Oncology Commission on Global Cancer Surgery was published in 2015 and serves as a landmark paper in the field of cancer surgery. The Commission highlighted the burden of cancer and the importance of cancer surgery, while documenting the many inadequacies in the ability to deliver safe, timely, and affordable cancer surgical care. This Commission builds on the first Commission by focusing on solutions and actions to improve access to cancer surgery globally, developed by drawing upon the expertise from cancer surgery leaders across the world. We present solution frameworks in nine domains that can improve access to cancer surgery. These nine domains were refined to identify solutions specific to the six WHO regions. On the basis of these solutions, we developed eight actions to propel essential improvements in the global capacity for cancer surgery. Our initiatives are broad in scope, pragmatic, affordable, and contextually applicable, and aimed at cancer surgeons as well as leaders, administrators, elected officials, and health policy advocates. We envision that the solutions and actions contained within the Commission will address inequities and promote safe, timely, and affordable cancer surgery for every patient, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location.

Identification of defect centers responsible for thermoluminescence emission in sol-gel synthesized calcium silicate phosphor.

The thermoluminescence (TL) of calcium silicate phosphor (CSO) prepared by the sol-gel method and sintered at 1200 °C were investigated. From Tm-Tstop curve, TL emission spectrum and computer deconvolution using electron traps with discrete and continuous distributions, the glow curves were found to be composed of four TL peaks (117, 190, 250 and 275 °C) with a single emission band centered at 370 nm. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigation has been carried out to identify the defect centers formed in the CSO phosphor by γ-irradiation and find the centers related to the TL process in the phosphor. At room temperature, three defect centers were observed. The first center, characterized by the principal g-values of 2.014, 2.011, and 2.0080 was assigned to an O- ion. The second center with g-values 2.015, 2.013, and 2.010 is also attributed to an O- ion and is associated with the TL peak at 280 °C. The third center, with an isotropic g-value of 2.0011 was identified as the F+ center (singly ionized oxygen vacancy) and relates to the TL peak at 280 °C.

Accuracy of Tumor Bed Biopsy for Predicting Pathologic Complete Response After Chemotherapy Among Women With Breast Cancer: Complete Responders in the Breast Study.

PURPOSE: With the advent of taxanes and targeted agents in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for breast cancer, the rates for pathologic complete response (pCR) have been steadily increasing. Surgery in these women serves as a biopsy to confirm or negate a pCR. METHODS: All newly diagnosed patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer, planned for NACT, were screened. Eligible patients with a complete or near-complete response to NACT as seen on a mammogram and ultrasound (US) were recruited. A magnetic resonance imaging was performed for these patients for documentation. US-guided core biopsies of the tumor bed (Core Bx) using a 14G needle was performed (minimum four in number), and the results were compared with the final histopathology report after surgery for standard performance parameters. RESULTS: This study recruited 65 women of whom 94% were node-positive, and 60% were hormone receptor-negative. The pCR rate was 41.5% and 53.8% for the whole cohort and the hormone receptor-negative subgroup, respectively. The false-negative rate (FNR) for Core Bx was 42.1% (95% CI, 26.3 to 59.2), with a negative predictive value of 59.0% (95% CI, 42.1 to 74.4). Among the hormone receptor-negative tumors, the FNR was 44.4% (95% CI, 21.5 to 69.2) with a negative predictive value of 70.4% (95% CI, 49.8 to 86.2). CONCLUSION: The Complete Responders in the Breast study results suggest that ultrasound-guided 14G core needle biopsy of the tumor bed may not be a reliable predictor of pCR in the breast. These results highlight the importance of further research into the omission of surgery in the breast after chemotherapy. This study is registered with Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI/2018/01/011122).

Histological risk score and its role in predicting recurrence in early-stage oral squamous cell carcinomas.

Context: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) comprises more than 90% of oral cancers and is the most common carcinoma affecting the oral cavity. Early stage T1/T2 OSCC have a heterogeneous prognosis and a significant number of patients develop loco regional recurrence (LRR) and have reduced disease free survival (DFS) with increased disease related mortality. Aims and Objectives: To assess the impact of the three parameters used in Brandwein-Gensler risk model along with lympho-vascular invasion (LVI), depth of invasion (DOI) and lymph node metastases in predicting LRR in early stage OSCC. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study on early stage T1/2 OSCC patients over a period of 2 years who received treatment by surgical resection and had follow-up data. LRR was assessed based on recurrence of OSCC at the initial site or in regional lymph nodes. Results: Out of 1135 OSCC cases during our study period a total of 207 cases befitted our inclusion criteria. Recurrence was noted in 113 (54.6%) cases. Univariate analysis identified LVI (P < 0.00001), DOI (P < 0.00001), nodal involvement (P < 0.00001), worst pattern of invasion (WPOI) (P < 0.00001), lymphocytic host response (LHR) (P = 0.004), perineural invasion (PNI) (P = 0.012) as strong statistically significant risk factors for LRR. Conclusion: Adequate assessment of simple parameters on routine H and E by incorporating Brandwein-Gensler histological risk scoring model at the initial presentation can help prognosticate and predict LRR and select patients for post-surgical adjuvant therapy.

Kisspeptin promotes follicular development through its effects on modulation of P450 aromatase expression and steroidogenesis in sheep ovarian follicles.

The present study was conducted to ascertain whether the role of kisspeptin in promoting in vitro development of preantral follicles was through the regulation of P450 aromatase gene expression and steroidogenesis in sheep. Accordingly, the cumulus cells and oocytes were collected from different development stages of preantral follicles grown in vivo and cultured in vitro in TCM199B (Group I), TCM199B + KP (10 µg/mL) (Group II) and Standard medium + KP (10 µg/mL). To measure the steroid (Estradiol-17ß; E2 and Progesterone; P4 ) synthesis through ELISA, spent culture medium was collected separately from the same in vitro groups. E2 synthesis in the spent medium collected from all the three groups showed an increasing trend from PFs' exposed to respective culture media for 3 min to 2-day culture stage but decreased thereafter till 6-day culture stage. This is followed by a sharp increase in E2 concentration in the spent medium collected after in vitro maturation. However, P4 synthesis in group III followed increased pattern as the development progressed from PFs' exposed to culture medium for 3 min to in vitro maturation stage. The steroid production was observed at all stages of in vitro development in altered supplemented conditions. The steroid synthesis in the spent medium was highest in the 6 day cultured PFs' in Standard medium + KP matured in vitro for 24 h. Therefore, supplementation of kisspeptin along with other growth factors promoted steroid production in cultured preantral follicles far better than in other media.

Anatomical Description of Anterior Parametrium: A Probable Answer to Pelvic Recurrence Following Radical Hysterectomy.

A prospective analysis of a retrospective data of patients with cervix carcinoma treated by minimal invasive surgery at high-volume gynecology oncology center analyzing that minimal access surgery is an acceptable treatment modality in cervix carcinoma. The study included 423 patients who underwent laparoscopic/robotic radical hysterectomy after pre-operative evaluation after taking their consent and obtaining ethical approval from the IRB. Post-operatively, patients were followed up at regular intervals for clinical examination and ultrasonography for a median range of 36 months. A PET scan was done only if there was any suspicious finding on clinical examination or ultrasonography. Patients with parametrial involvement, positive vaginal margins, and nodal involvement were treated with chemotherapy/radiotherapy. Four hundred twenty-three patients of cervix carcinoma were treated with minimal access surgery. Average duration of surgeries was 92 min. Median range of duration of post-operative follow-up was 36 months. None of the patients had positive resection margins indicating adequate parametrectomy with complete oncological clearance. On post-operative follow-up, only 2 patients had vaginal recurrence which is comparable to that observed in open surgery and no pelvic recurrence. With the understanding of the anatomical landmarks of the anterior parametrium and development of skills for adequate oncological clearance, minimal access surgery should be the preferred surgical modality in carcinoma of the cervix.

Translation of the Gothenburg Trismus Questionnaire-2 into Telugu and its Validation for use in Indian Patients.

Trismus refers to restriction in the ability to open the mouth. Comprehensive evaluation of trismus and its treatment outcomes needs a multidimensional, self-administered, trismus specific tool. In the present scenario, Gothenburg trismus questionnaire is the only reliable instrument to quantify trismus. Translation of this questionnaire helps in providing standardized documentation of trismus related problems and to obtain a patient's perspective on treatment outcomes within various populations. The aim of this study was to translate the Gothenburg trismus questionnaire-2 (GTQ 2) into Telugu (one of the Indian Languages) and validation of the translation for its effective use in regional Telugu speaking patients. The GTQ 2 was translated according to the guidelines framed by the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research: (1) forward translation, (2) reconciliation and back translation, (3) cognitive debriefing, and (4) pilot testing. The psychometric properties of the translated version were evaluated by testing its internal consistency, construct validity, known-group validity and floor and ceiling effects. Patients who reported with or without trismus to the Head and Neck Oncology outpatient clinic were enrolled for the study. Comparison of the GTQ scores was done using Mann-Whitney U-test. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used for assessing convergent and divergent validity. Internal Consistency was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The translated version of the GTQ 2 was administered to 60 patients (30 trismus patients and 30 non-trismus patients). GTQ 2 was successfully translated without any significant issues. Construct validity of the translated version was confirmed and it has a good internal consistency (α > 0.7). The translated instrument can differentiate between those with and without trismus (p < 0.0005). A valid and reliable Telugu version of the Gothenburg Trismus Questionnaire-2 is now available for the benefit of Indian patients. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13193-021-01369-7.

Utility of GATA-3 and associated immunohistochemical markers in the differential diagnosis of poorly differentiated urothelial carcinoma.

Aims: The aims are to study the utility of GATA-3 along with panel of immunohistochemical (IHC) markers in the differential diagnosis of primary and metastatic poorly differentiated urothelial carcinoma (UC). Settings and Design: This is a prospective and retrospective observational study. Subjects and Methods: Poorly differentiated carcinomas of urinary tract and metastatic sites from January 2016 to December 2017 were subjected to a panel of four IHC markers including GATA-3, p63, Cytokeratin (CK) 7, and CK20. Additional markers such as p16, an enzyme called alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase, CDX2, and thyroid transcription factor 1 were also done depending on the morphology and site. Statistical Analysis Used: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of GATA-3 in making the diagnosis of UC were calculated. Results: Forty-five cases were included in the study and after appropriate IHC, the diagnosis was resolved as UC in 24 cases. GATA-3 was positive in 83.33% of UC; all the four markers positive in 33.33% and all negative in 4.17% of UC. However, at least one of the four markers was present in 95.83% of UC, except in sarcomatoid UC. GATA-3 had 100% specificity in differentiating from prostate adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: GATA-3 is a useful marker in the diagnosis of UC in the primary and metastatic sites with a sensitivity of 83.33%. GATA-3 along with other IHC markers in correlation with clinical and imageological features is necessary for making specific diagnosis of poorly differentiated carcinoma.

Use of TISM and MICMAC methods to assess the influence of behavioral factors on the employment of GSCM in the Indian leather industry.

The practice of managing the supply chain to lessen negative environmental effects and promote sustainability is known as "green supply chain management" (GSCM). This includes reducing energy and water usage, reducing unused, and utilizing renewable or recyclable materials. Green supply chain management also requires that companies look into the environmental impacts of their suppliers and customers, making sure their practices are sustainable as well. Companies that take part in green supply chain management are oftentimes rewarded with financial incentives, improved customer relations, and employee satisfaction. The Indian leather industry which is the most polluted industry needs GSCM practices at war footing not only for their sustainable operations but for humankind also. Human behavior is a complex and ever-evolving field of study. It is a combination of psychological, biological, and social factors that influence how people think, feel, and act. Human behavior is affected by a variety of external and internal stimuli, including environmental conditions, cultural norms, and individual experiences. As such, it is important to understand the various factors that can shape our behavior to better understand ourselves and others. As a result, it's crucial to comprehend and rate the behavioral aspects that have an impact on GSCM adoption in the Indian leather business. The Green supply chain management decision-makers would find this to be useful in establishing the chain of action for the effective employment of green practises in the Indian leather industry. ISM is a useful approach for understanding the complex relationships between various behavioral elements and their hierarchies in the context of green supply chain management (GSCM) adoption. It can be used to identify the key behavioral factors that influence the effective adoption of GSCM in the Indian leather industry, as well as the interdependencies between these factors. This can help GSCM decision-makers in the Indian leather industry to better understand the challenges and opportunities for implementing sustainable practices throughout their supply chain and to develop effective strategies for addressing them. Additionally, ISM can be used to identify the key drivers and barriers to GSCM adoption, which can inform the development of targeted interventions to promote sustainable practices in the Indian leather sector.

A Review of the Current State of Global Surgical Oncology and the Role of Surgeons Who Treat Cancer: Our Profession's Imperative to Act Upon a Worldwide Crisis in Evolution.

Worldwide, the capacity of healthcare systems and physician workforce is woefully inadequate for the surgical treatment of cancer. With major projected increases in the global burden of neoplastic disease, this inadequacy is expected to worsen, and interventions to increase the workforce of surgeons who treat cancer and strengthen the necessary supporting infrastructure, equipment, staffing, financial and information systems are urgently called for to prevent this inadequacy from deepening. These efforts must also occur in the context of broader healthcare systems strengthening and cancer control plans, including prevention, screening, early detection, safe and effective treatment, surveillance, and palliation. The cost of these interventions should be considered a critical investment in healthcare systems strengthening that will contribute to improvement in the public and economic health of nations. Failure to act should be seen as a missed opportunity, at the cost of lives and delayed economic growth and development. Surgeons who treat cancer must engage with a diverse array of stakeholders in efforts to address this critical need and are indispensably positioned to participate in collaborative approaches to influence these efforts through research, advocacy, training, and initiatives for sustainable development and overall systems strengthening.

Physiochemical characterization of sodium doped zinc oxide nano powder for antimicrobial applications.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the semiconductor materials with unique antimicrobial properties towards various microorganisms. In this article, pure and Na doped ZnO nanopowders were synthesized by easiest and cost-effective co-precipitation process. X-ray diffraction (XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), ultraviolet - visible (UV - Vis) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) techniques were used to characterize the particle size, surface morphology and chemical composition of prepared materials. The XRD analysis revealed that the samples exhibiting hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure with high crystallinity and the average crystallite size values increased from 23.51 to 28.118 nm. The UV - Vis spectroscopy results exposed that the bandgap energy (Eg) of the samples with the values in the range of 3.068-3.301 eV. The SEM micrographs showed that the morphology of the of synthesized particles are hexagonal and spherical in nanometric size. The EDX spectra confirmed the elemental composition of Na, Zn and O in the crystal lattice and FTIR spectroscopic data proved the formation of functional groups and the presence of chemical bonding at the ZnO interface.Antibacterial activity of pure and Na doped Zinc oxide nanoparticles against Gram-negative pathogenssuch as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa & Klebsiella pneumoniae and Gram-positive pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus reveal that the zone of inhibition increases with increasing Na concentration. The antifungal activity against Aspergillus and Candida was investigated.These results demonstrated that the pure and Na doped ZnO samples exhibit enhanced antibacterial and antifungal activity with increasing particle sizein presence of visible light and they could be used as good antibacterial as well as antifungal agents.

Assessing growth of infants with chylothorax receiving fortified skimmed human breast milk.

LEARNING OUTCOME: To learn how skimmed human milk (SHM) can be used in infants with chylothorax to support adequate weight gain and nutrition while receiving human milk. BACKGROUND: Traditional nutrition management for chylothorax is to limit long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) and provide a diet high in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Transition from human milk to formula has been required to provide the ratio of MCT to LCT required to stop the accumulation of chyle. Although SHM may provide the right fat content for a baby with chylothorax, previous studies have shown slow growth in infants receiving SHM. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate that infants receiving SHM fortified with high-MCT infant formula will have age appropriate growth without re-accumulation of chyle. DESIGN/METHODS: Between 2017 and 2019, term infants with the diagnosis of chylothorax who were previously receiving human milk and transitioned to fortified SHM were monitored for growth and reaccumulation of chyle. RESULTS: The six infants who were prescribed fortified SHM with high-MCT infant formula using standardized recipes did not show reaccumulation of chyle and showed positive weight gain in five of the six study patients. The infants gained a mean weight of 30.5 g/day (±19.5), and their weight z scores improved by a mean of +0.29 (±0.33). CONCLUSIONS: Fortified SHM is a safe treatment option that can provide adequate nutrition for the infant with chylothorax to gain weight appropriately for age.

Bambusa arundinacea leaves extract-derived Ag NPs: evaluation of the photocatalytic, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer activities.

Bio-fabrication has become a safe approach for silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The plant-mediated biosynthesized Ag NPs have emerged as a potential substitute for conventional chemical formation. The biosynthesized Ag NPs were analyzed in terms of crystalline nature, morphology, chemical composition, particle size, stability, size, and shape of the particles. The XRD, FTIR, and TEM analysis indicate the presence of the bioactive secondary metabolites compounds. The bamboo-mediated Ag NPs demonstrated a notable antibacterial efficacy against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic microorganisms and showed significant antioxidant activity against DPPH free radicals. The degradation of methylene blue at various intervals under solar light irradiation was used to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of Ag NPs. Further, Ag NPs conveyed potent anticancer activity against MCF-7 cell lines with a significant value IC50. The bamboo leaves-mediated Ag NPs synthesized Ag NPs signified strong antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer activity; hence, it can be used in various biomedical applications and face mask coating to prevent the coronavirus after successful clinical trials in research laboratories.
