The modern man is constantly exposed to a variety of toxic chemicals primarily due to changes in life style. Among all classes of pesticides, carbamates are most commonly used compounds because OPs and OCls are extremely toxic and possess delayed neurotoxic effects. Toxicological characteristics of the N-methyl carbamates involve maximal cholinesterase enzyme inhibition followed by a rapid recovery, typically from minutes to hours. Among other pesticides, carbamates have been included in the list of known endocrine disruptor compounds.The accumulation of carbofuran in animals and humans may...

Bioceramics are one of the most important class of biomaterials which have been recognized as bone replacement materials due to their excellent bioactivity, biocompatibility and osteoconductivity properties. However; it exhibits poor antibacterial activities, long-term in vivo performance of bioceramics can be affected by the presence of various bacterial infections resulting in debilitating pain and often results in removal of implants. In view of the aforementioned conditions, antibacterial bioactive ceramics have developed. The introduction of metal ions into bioceramics has two...
