    Handheld devices equipped with sophisticated sensors enabling data collection as well as remote monitoring would lay the groundwork for one low-cost data trading approach. This data, for example, could be linked to contaminants and greenhouse emissions and then used to assess the limitations of current regulatory requirements. On a larger scale, the current IoT data trade method relies on a centralised third-party organisation to regulate among data producers and users, which is ineffective and unsafe. These decentralised solutions based on block chain technology, on the other hand, allow data exchange while guaranteeing integrity, confidentiality, and anonymity.  However, leading to a lack of understanding of process efficiency between retailers and buyers, there is a significant gap in assessing data trading procedures in IoT. We propose a paradigm for IoT-based data trade known as the Internet of Things and the blockchain network, that is intended to allow significant environmental monitoring and is influenced through the knowledge gap. We can examine the efficacy of transmission of three fundamental IoT trade protocol connections with respect to delay and power usage. These protocols model and analysis serve as a baseline for IoT data exchange solution

    Nitric oxide and cancer: a review

    Nitric oxide (NO), is a ubiquitous, water soluble, free radical gas, which plays key role in various physiological as well as pathological processes. Over past decades, NO has emerged as a molecule of interest in carcinogenesis and tumor growth progression. However, there is considerable controversy and confusion in understanding its role in cancer biology. It is said to have both tumoricidal as well as tumor promoting effects which depend on its timing, location, and concentration. NO has been suggested to modulate different cancer-related events including angiogenesis, apoptosis, cell cycle, invasion, and metastasis. On the other hand, it is also emerging as a potential anti-oncogenic agent. Strategies for manipulating in vivo production and exogenous delivery of this molecule for therapeutic gain are being investigated. However, further validation and experimental/clinical trials are required for development of novel strategies based on NO for cancer treatment and prevention. This review discusses the range of actions of NO in cancer by performing an online MEDLINE search using relevant search terms and a review of the literature. Various mechanisms by which NO acts in different cancers such as breast, cervical, gastric,colorectal, and head and neck cancers are addressed. It also offers an insight into the dichotomous nature of NO and discusses its novel therapeutic applications for cancer prevention and treatment

    Comparing laser-assisted and conventional excision in the management of oral soft lesions: A prospective clinical study

    Introduction: Oral soft lesions represent a diverse array of pathological conditions that necessitate precise and effective treatment. Laser-assisted excision has gained prominence due to its purported benefits in terms of reduced procedural time, decreased bleeding, and improved aesthetic outcomes. However, conventional excision remains a common practice. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients with clinically diagnosed oral soft lesions were enrolled in this prospective study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the laser-assisted excision group and the conventional excision group. Demographics, lesion characteristics, and medical histories were recorded for each patient. Procedural parameters such as operative time and intraoperative bleeding were meticulously documented. Results: The laser-assisted excision group exhibited a statistically significant reduction in procedural duration compared to the conventional excision group (P < 0.05), with mean operative times of 15.2 and 20.8 min, respectively. Intraoperative bleeding was significantly reduced in the laser-assisted group (P < 0.01), with an average blood loss of 15.7 ml, while the conventional excision group reported an average blood loss of 28.6 ml. Postoperative complications analysis demonstrated that the laser-assisted group had a lower incidence of wound infections (P < 0.05) compared to the conventional excision group (5% vs. 15%). Additionally, the laser-assisted group exhibited significantly reduced scarring (P < 0.01) as reported by both patients and clinicians. Patient satisfaction scores were consistently higher in the laser-assisted excision group, with 85% of patients reporting contentment with the procedure, in contrast to 65% in the conventional excision group. Conclusion: In light of the results obtained from this study, laser-assisted excision emerges as a favorable approach for the management of oral soft lesions
