19 infection, while advances in immunological ...
Green Strategy–Based Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles for Antibacterial Applications
(Frontiers in Nanotechnology, 2021)
Antibiotics have been the nucleus of chemotherapy since their discovery and introduction
into the healthcare system in the 1940s. They are routinely used to treat bacterial infections
and to prevent infections in patients ...
Bee Venom—A Potential Complementary Medicine Candidate for SARS-CoV-2 Infections
(Frontiers in Public Health, 2020)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is characterized

Investigating vegetable contamination in indigent communities by heavy metals: a case of food safety in Bushenyi, Uganda
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)
Food contamination by heavy metals is a health burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Here, we
illustrate this burden by quantifying levels of Cd, Cr, Ni, Co, Pb, Fe, Cu and Zn in vegetables
from Bushenyi District (Uganda). Results ...

An analysis of heavy metals contamination and estimating the daily intakes of vegetables from Uganda
(Toxicology Research and Application, 2021)
Environmental contamination with elevated levels of copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), lead
(Pb), chromium (Cr6þ), cadmium (Cd), and nickel (Ni)—all states of which are found in Uganda—raises health risk to ...
