For the modifiable factors, they include hypertension, cholesterol, unhealthy diets, obesity and overweight, physical inactivity, and the use of tobacco (WHF, 2016).

Introduction:

Nanobiotechnology serves as an imperative technique in the development of clean, nontoxic, and eco-friendly procedures for the synthesis and congregation of metal NPs having the intrinsic ability to reduce metals by specific metabolic pathways. Silver nanoparticles are particularly interesting nanoscale systems due to the ease with which they can be synthesised and modified chemically. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been widely researched due to their interesting size and shape-dependent properties [26]. These novel properties can be tailored by controlling their size, shape, composition, structure and crystallinity.

Question one: What is the etiology of JIA?

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a common type of arthritis affecting children below the age of 17.

Medical professionals and disease experts are yet to establish the etiology of JIA; however, the condition is highly linked to genes transfer. JIA is not a hereditary disease because it rarely affects more than one person in the family. Multiple genes play a significant role in the onset and manifestations of JIA. ...
