An overview for biomedical waste management during pandemic like COVID-19. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY : IJEST 2022; 20:8025-8040.

Abstract
Amid COVID-19, world has gone under environmental reformation in terms of clean rivers and blue skies, whereas, generation of biomedical waste management has emerged as a big threat for the whole world, especially in the developing nations. Appropriate biomedical waste management has become a prime concern worldwide in the pandemic era of COVID-19 as it may affect environment and living organisms up to a great extent. The problem has been increased many folds because of unexpected generations of hazardous biomedical waste which needs extraordinary attentions. In this paper, the impacts and future challenges of solid waste management especially the biomedical waste management on environment and human beings have been discussed amid COVID-19 pandemic. The paper also recommends some guidelines to manage the bulk of medical wastes for the protection of human health and environment. The paper summarizes better management practices for the wastes including optimizing the decision process, infrastructure, upgrading treatment methods and other activities related with the biological disasters like COVID-19. As achieved in the past for viral disinfection, use of UV- rays with proper precautions can also be explored for COVID-19 disinfection. For biomedical waste management, thermal treatment of waste can be an alternative, as it can generate energy along with reducing waste volume by 80-95%. The Asian Development Bank observed that additional biomedical waste was generated ranged from 154 to 280 tons/day during the peak of COVID-19 pandemic in Asian megacities such as Manila, Jakarta, Wuhan, Bangkok, Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur.

Modular protein switches derived from antibody mimetic proteins. Protein Eng Des Sel 2016; 29:77-85.

Abstract
Protein switches have potential applications as biosensors and selective protein therapeutics. Protein switches built by fusion of proteins with the prerequisite input and output functions are currently developed using an ad hoc process. A modular switch platform in which existing switches could be readily adapted to respond to any ligand would be advantageous. We investigated the feasibility of a modular protein switch platform based on fusions of the enzyme TEM-1 β-lactamase (BLA) with two different antibody mimetic proteins: designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) and monobodies. We created libraries of random insertions of the gene encoding BLA into genes encoding a DARPin or a monobody designed to bind maltose-binding protein (MBP). From these libraries, we used a genetic selection system for β-lactamase activity to identify genes that conferred MBP-dependent ampicillin resistance to Escherichia coli. Some of these selected genes encoded switch proteins whose enzymatic activity increased up to 14-fold in the presence of MBP. We next introduced mutations into the antibody mimetic domain of these switches that were known to cause binding to different ligands. To different degrees, introduction of the mutations resulted in switches with the desired specificity, illustrating the potential modularity of these platforms.

Abstract
Although natural gums and their derivatives are used widely in pharmaceutical dosage forms, their use as biodegradable polymeric materials to deliver bioactive agents has been hampered by the synthetic materials. These natural polysaccharides do hold advantages over the synthetic polymers, generally because they are nontoxic, less expensive, and freely available. Natural gums can also be modified to have tailor-made materials for drug delivery systems and thus can compete with the synthetic biodegradable excipients available in the market. In this review, recent developments in the area of natural gums and their derivatives as carriers in the sustained release of drugs are explored.

Abstract
The orally administered acetazolamide has a limited use in glaucoma due to the systemic side effects associated with its use. It has been reported to show little effect on the intraocular pressure (IOP) of human and rabbit eyes upon topical application, probably owing to its poor bioavailability and instability at pH >5.0. In order to enhance the bioavailability of the drug, contact time between the drug molecules and the ocular surface was increased using high viscosity, water soluble polymers (PVA, HPMC), and by incorporating acetazolamide into an in situ-forming ophthalmic drug delivery system. Moreover, a penetration enhancer (EDTA) was also used in these formulations to increase the extent of absorption of the drug. Acetazolamide at a concentration of 10% was used and the formulations (eyedrop suspensions) were evaluated for their in vitro release pattern. The effect of these formulations on the IOP in normotensive conscious rabbits was also investigated. These formulations were found to be therapeutically effective with a peak effect at 2 h. A fall in IOP of up to 46.4% was observed with repeated administration of one of the formulation containing PVA, EDTA and Tween 80 (MK-5). Results indicated that a topical effect of acetazolamide can be observed if the formulation, (a) contains a suitable polymer-to increase the residence time; (b) a penetration enhancer-as acetazolamide has a low permeability coefficient i.e. 4. 1x10(-6) cm/s [Duffel, M.W., Ing. I.S., Segarra, T.M., Dixson, J.A., Barfknecht, C.F., Schoenwald, R.D., 1986. J. Med. Chem. 29, 1488-1494]; and (c) pH of the formulation is maintained at the point of maximum stability (pH< or =5.0).
