RESUMO

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health issue. We offer a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of HBV, which can be successfully controlled with vaccine and treatment. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes a significantly more severe and protracted disease compared to hepatitis A. While it initially presents as an acute disease, in approximately 5 to 10% of cases, it can develop into a chronic disease that causes permanent damage to the liver. The hepatitis B virus can remain active outside the body for at least seven days. If the virus penetrates an individual's body without immunization, it may still result in infection. Upon exposure to HBV, the symptoms often last for a duration ranging from 10 days to 6 months. In this study, we developed a new model for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) that includes asymptomatic carriers, vaccination, and treatment classes to gain a comprehensive knowledge of HBV dynamics. The basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] is calculated to identify future recurrence. The local and global stabilities of the proposed model are evaluated for values of [Formula: see text] that are both below and above 1. The Lyapunov function is employed to ensure the global stability of the HBV model. Further, the existence and uniqueness of the proposed model are demonstrated. To look at the solution of the proposed model graphically, we used a useful numerical strategy, such as the non-standard finite difference method, to obtain more thorough numerical findings for the parameters that have a significant impact on disease elimination. In addition, the study of treatment class in the population, we may assess the effectiveness of alternative medicines to treat infected populations can be determined. Numerical simulations and graphical representations are employed to illustrate the implications of our theoretical conclusions.

RESUMO

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) possess unique features that mak them a common matter among different industries. Nevertheless, traditional models of synthesizing ZnO-NPs are related with health and environmental and risks due to harmful chemicals. The biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles was achieved using the hot water extract of Sargassum wightii (SW), which serves as a reducing agent. This extract is mixed with zinc precursors, initiating a bio-reduction process. UV-vis, FTIR, XRD, Raman, DLS, SEM, EDX, TEM imaging, and XPS analysis are used. The novelty of this research lies in utilizing a bio-reduction process involving hot water extract of SW to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles, providing a safer and eco-friendly alternative to traditional chemical methods. Here, the zinc oxide nanoparticles produced through the biosynthesis process effectively addressed oral infections (Streptococcus mutans) due to their ability to disrupt the integrity of bacterial cell membranes, interfere with cellular processes, and inhibit the growth and proliferation of bacteria responsible for oral infections. Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) uncover intricate patterns within medical data, enabling enhanced diagnostics, treatment personalization, and patient outcomes. This study aims to apply Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) to medical data for subpopulation identification and disease subtyping, contributing to personalized treatment strategies and improved patient care. With a dataset comprising 300 samples, the application of GMM showed lower BIC and AIC values (2500, 3200), a high Silhouette Score (0.65 from -1 to 1) reflecting well-defined clusters, Calinski-Harabasz (120) and Davies-Bouldin Indices (0.45). These metrics collectively underscored the model's success in revealing distinct patterns within the data. ZnO-nanocoated aligners were effective against Streptococcus mutans, with the maximum antibacterial effect observed for 2 days and lasting for 7 days.
