TL;DR: In this article, a review of nanotechnology and nanocarrier-based approach drug delivery system could revolutionize the treatment of degenerative diseases by faster absorption of drug, targeted interaction at specific site, and its release in a controlled manner into human body with minimal side effects.
Abstract: Degenerative diseases are results of deterioration of cells and tissues with aging either by unhealthy lifestyle or normal senescence. The degenerative disease likely affects central nervous system and cardiovascular system to a great extent. Certain medications and therapies have emerged for the treatment of degenerative diseases, but in most cases bearing with poor solubility, lower bioavailability, drug resistance, and incapability to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Hence, it has to be overcome with conventional treatment system; in this connection, nanotechnology has gained a great deal of interest in recent years. Moreover, nanotechnology and nanocarrier-based approach drug delivery system could revolutionize the treatment of degenerative diseases by faster absorption of drug, targeted interaction at specific site, and its release in a controlled manner into human body with minimal side effects. The core objective of this review is to customize and formulate therapeutically active molecules with specific site of action and without affecting other organs and tissues to obtain effective result in the improvement of quality of health. In addition, the review provides a concise insight into the recent developments and applications of nanotech and nanocarrier-based drug delivery for the treatment of various degenerative diseases.

TL;DR: In this article, an analytical insight on the merits of the process for the treatment of such emulsified system has been provided, and different microorganisms that are required for bioremediation of either oil spill over a large aquatic zone or oil-water emulsion at source point.
Abstract: Oily wastewater, one of the major threats to environment nowadays, mainly originates from petrochemical, heavy metal, food processing, paint, automobile industrial premises. This oil contaminated wastewater is mutagenic and carcinogenic to human health as well as inhibitory to plant growth. Without any proper treatment if such oily water stream disposed into water bodies, apart from increasing the BOD and COD, it also imparts a sunlight impervious layer at the top of the stream restricting the entrance of sunlight followed by disruption of aquatic ecosystem. Hence proper treatment of oily wastewater before its discharge to environment is one of the primary concerns. Researchers have used several technologies such as, gravity sedimentation, coagulation, flotation, coagulation composite flotation, demulsification, membrane separation, flocculation, chemical precipitation and bioremediation have been explored to purify this oil contaminated wastewater to a desired level. Especially, the uniqueness of the treatment will require a through merit analysis of the process, when the wastewater comprises of oil–water emulsion. Hence, in this review an analytical insight on the merits of the process for the treatment of such emulsified system has been provided. The review article also discusses different microorganisms that are required for bioremediation of either oil spill over a large aquatic zone or oil–water emulsion at source point. Finally, the manuscript highlighted some of the effluent treatment plants’ operational process from different industries, which might provide a typical understanding of a comparative view between different treatment processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors classify food waste sources and high-added value ingredients prior to exploring the recovery stages, conventional and emerging technologies applied from the raw material to the final or encapsulated product.
Abstract: Food wastes are today considered as a cheap source of valuable components since the existent technologies allow the recovery of target compounds and their recycling inside food chain as functional additives in different products. The goal of the current article is to classify food waste sources and high-added value ingredients prior to exploring the recovery stages, conventional and emerging technologies applied from the raw material to the final or encapsulated product. Safety and cost aspects were discussed, too, while a survey of patented methodologies leading to real products was listed, with a final purpose of discussing the prevalent problems that restrict the commercialization of similar procedures.
