Next-Generation Antimicrobial Nanocoatings for Medical Devices and Implants provides a detailed, up-to-date overview of nano-based antimicrobial coatings used to combat medical device-related biofilms. An introduction to biofilms and how they infect medical devices is included, as well as strategies/modification techniques used to target these biofilms. This book evaluates the various antimicrobial coatings formed using nanomaterials such as silver, inorganic materials, organic materials, carbon dots, surfactants, and electrospun fibers, specifically for us on medical devices and implants. Numerous coating methods are discussed along with the biological characterizations of these coating mat...
“Where does one go in a tremendous city like Calcutta to find insider information? I recalled India’s golden rule: do the opposite of what would be normal anywhere else.” ― Tahir Shah, Sorcerer’s Apprentice
In the fast paced world we live in, forming and sustaining relationships is difficult. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, there has been a 35% spike in divorce cases all over the world due to the lock down. Having a blissful romance is not an easy task these days. Love has become text messages and phone calls. Love has become Instagram posts, Snapchat and staring at a screen. Love has become more about hook ups and swiping right and left on dating apps instead of having an emotional depth and commitment in relationships. Love these days has become crawling back to a person who has hurt, manipulated and lied to you. People are so empty and lonely that they mistake mere attention for love and event...
