Chitosan-Capped Au Nanoparticles for Laser Photothermal Ablation Therapy: UV-Vis Characterization and Optothermal Performances
We have reported on the synthesis and characterization of near-infrared- (NIR-) absorbing colloidal nanoparticles prepared by exploiting the one-step reaction of HAuCl4 and Na2S2O3, followed by their stabilization with chitosan.This reaction also produces a big amount of unwanted nanoparticles detuned Boys Top with respect to the NIR spectral regio
Rifampicin and isoniazid drug resistance among patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis in southwestern Uganda
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has become a major threat to the control of tuberculosis globally.Uganda is among the countries with a relatively high prevalence of tuberculosis despite significant control efforts.In this study, the drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) was investigated amon
