Resistance to polymyxins when treating multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections limit therapeutic options.Here, we report the synthesis of a nickel (Ni) doped Zinc oxide (NZO) combined with black phosphorus (BP) (NZB) nanocomposite and its synergistic action with polymyxin B (PolB) against polymyxin-resistant Escherichia coli ha
Fire emergencies present significant challenges to human safety, with Can Opener evacuation success relying on situational awareness and informed decision-making.Traditional methods, such as rendered fire simulations and physical evacuation drills, often fail to capture the complexity of fire dynamics or provide realistic, immersive environments fo
Background.In 1999, the Government of Canada regulated the use of lead shot for hunting.Concurrently, the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services (NRBHSS) was informed of the results of an isotope study that pointed to lead ammunition as a likely source of lead exposure in Nunavik.Rapidly Salt and Pepper Pots thereafter, a coalition fo
Abstract Bacterial pneumonia is one of the most serious public health issues owing to its medical and economic costs, which result in increased morbidity and mortality in people of all ages around the world.Furthermore, antimicrobial resistance has risen over time, and the advent of multi-drug resistance in GNB complicates therapy and has a detrime
Low contrasts and visual similarity between different skin conditions make skin disease recognition a challenging task.Current techniques to detect and diagnose skin disease accurately require high-level professional expertise.Artificial intelligence paves the way for developing computer Can Opener vision-based applications in medical imaging, like
