Demodex spp. (Acari: Demodicidae) Infestation in Humans: Diagnostic Clues and Therapeutic Approaches to Primary and Secondary Demodicosis.
Abstract: Demodicosis represents an inflammatory dermatosis and adnexal disorder arising from pathologic overgrowth of Demodex mites, primarily Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, which are ubiquitous human ectoparasites residing in pilosebaceous units and eyelid margins. Once regarded as benign commensals, these mites are now recognized as primary drivers or key cofactors in diverse clinical phenotypes, including papulopustular eruptions, pityriasis folliculorum, rosacea-like disorders, blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and exacerbations of comorbid dermatoses such …

Medically Important Hemiptera: Bed Bugs and Kissing Bugs in Human Health.
Abstract: Bed bugs (family Cimicidae) and kissing bugs (subfamily Triatominae) are hematophagous Hemiptera of major medical importance, yet they differ markedly in their public health impact. Bed bugs have resurged globally over the past three decades, with infestations reported from homes, multi-unit housing, hotels, transportation, and healthcare facilities in both high and low-income settings. They are not established biological vectors of human pathogens, but their bites cause pruritic papules, urticarial, and …

Transforming Hospital Environments: The Role of Sound Detection
Abstract: Hospitals are sanctuaries of healing, yet they are often paradoxically exposed to a pervasive, often underestimated threat: excessive noise. While internal hospital sounds pose their own challenges, the impact of external sounds – traffic, construction, sirens, and urban clamor – can profoundly compromise patient safety, recovery, and overall well-being. This article explores the critical role of advanced sound detection systems in mitigating this external acoustic intrusion, leveraging technology to create …

On the Relationship between Equivalent Potential Temperature (theta-e) and Convective Rain over Nigeria and Togo
Abstract: Convective precipitation is a key feature of West Africa's climate, driven by the West African monsoon system. Accurate forecasting of convective storms is challenging but essential for disaster mitigation in the region. This study investigates the ability of using equivalent potential temperature (theta-e) for predicting convective rainfall events in West Africa. Theta-e combines the thermodynamic effects of moisture and temperature to represent total energy available for convection. Daily rainfall and …

Atmospheric Determinants of Feed, Fodder, and Forage Contamination in a Changing Climate: Emerging Challenges for Sustainable Livestock Production
Abstract: Feed, fodder, and forage contamination represents a growing constraint to sustainable livestock production under a changing climate. Atmospheric determinants such as rising temperature, altered precipitation patterns, increased humidity, elevated carbon dioxide concentration, and enhanced aerosol and pollutant loads are increasingly recognized as critical drivers of contamination risks across feed supply chains. These atmospheric factors directly and indirectly influence crop growth, fungal proliferation, mycotoxin biosynthesis, microbial survival, and the deposition of …

Applications of Nanomaterials in Membrane Separation for Effluent Treatment in the Textile Industry
Abstract: The textile industry makes a significant contribution to economic growth. As the global population continues to increase exponentially, production rates are also on the rise to meet this growing demand. Unfortunately, this surge in production often leads to noncompliance with environmental regulations. While the textile industry supports economic development, it also contributes to serious pollution. Various dyes, such as azo dyes, Congo Red (CR), Crystal Violet, methylene blue, and methyl …

Consumer Misuse of Cosmeceuticals and Its Role in Adverse Skin Reactions
Abstract: Cosmeceuticals represent a rapidly expanding category of products positioned between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, offering both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits. However, their widespread availability, aggressive marketing, and perception as inherently safe have contributed to increasing instances of consumer misuse. Misuse includes over-application, inappropriate combinations, prolonged unsupervised use, and use of high-potency active ingredients without dermatological guidance. Such practices have been strongly associated with a broad spectrum of adverse cutaneous reactions ranging …

Climate Change and Urban Heat Islands in India: A Review Across Nine Urban Agglomerations
Abstract: Since 1901, anthropogenic climate change has raised India's mean surface temperatures by about 0.9°C, compounding warming. Rapid urbanization creates persistent Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), making cities dangerously hotter than rural areas. A combination of these forces presents acute thermal hazards to hundreds of millions of urban dwellers. The paper discusses the emergence and intensification of UHI in nine large Indian cities (Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and …
