The book is to provide new updates to presently available scientific content and data worldwide related to positive and negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare, economy and environment. Besides focusing on impact, this book will also focus on the strategies that will be helpful in overcoming such impact so that world will be prepared in coming future if any pandemic comes. This book will present a complete guide covering all factors that have impact on day to day life. This book will elaborate the healthcare system role that collapsed due to unpredictable numbers of COVID-19 patients and will also share the solutions from experts’ experiences for how they overcame such limitations in order to manage such infections. Worldwide lockdown during COVID-19 infection somehow significantly showed positive impact on our environment, therefore this book will also touch on certain landmark policies made by certain governments after COVID-19. This book will also explain fundamental issues and approaches with easily understandable explanations, and contains basic problems with their solutions, case studies, equations, and informative tables and schemes to let readers learn faster. This book will easily gain acceptance among the audience from healthcare, economy and environmental sciences.

Cancer is one of the most common occurring threats to human health. Despite of many advancements and technological development along with several treatment modalities, still cancer is not completely curable. It is adversely affecting the life quality of the patient and contributing in lowering the life expectancy and increasing the economic healthcare burden worldwide. Anomalous physicochemical environment and dysregulated biosynthetic intermediates present inside the tumor microenvironment contribute in regulating cancer cells to evade or defend conventional anti-cancer therapy such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Dynamic behavior of the cancer cells leads to significant loss of drug efficiency that is also somehow associated with several side effects. Conventional anti-cancer therapies also associated with major limitations of side effects and high cost. The latest development in synthesis of tumor microenvironment responsive nanoparticles bargains potential and promising approaches for combating cancers from almost all origins through modulating tumors by initiating acidic and hypoxic microenvironments. To overcome such challenges, nanomedicine approach exploiting the potential of nanoparticles can be a good choice for treatment of such dynamic cancer with limited side effects and ample efficacy.The purpose of this book is to provide new updates to presently available scientific content related to several synthesis methods of the nanoparticles that have anticancer potential. Besides focusing on new synthesis methods, this book will also focus on the new delivery approach of such nanoparticles along with increasing the stability, efficacy and efficiency of such particles. This book will presents a complete guide covering recent methods of synthesis active nanoparticles and nanomaterials following both traditional and biological approaches. The book will also focus on the isolation, purification and characterization of the newly synthesized nanoparticles and nanomaterials and their application as drug delivery in cancer therapeutics. This book will also explain fundamental methods and approaches with easily understandable explanations, and contains control questions, case studies, equations, and informative tables and schemes to let readers learn faster.
