Progress from the Traditional Vaccines to Novel Rational Vaccine Designs
Abstract: Vaccines are among the most valuable assets for saving human and animal lives. The vaccines discovered and designed on the Pasteurian principles laid the foundations of the traditional vaccine regime during the late-19th century. Some traditional vaccine designs proved remarkably successful, while others had safety or efficacy problems, and still others failed- particularly those against diseases caused by non-cultivable, hyper-variable or opportunist pathogens, or those requiring cellular immunity. The problems …

The Interactive Morbidity of Bipolar II Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Abstract: Bipolar II disorder (bipolar disorder) interacts with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in a synergistic pattern during its symptomatic course. The relationship of the disorders is overall negative in terms of treatment outcomes and more risky and severe in its comorbid form (i.e., in terms of higher probability of hospitalization or incarceration). Somatic disease should be considered in cases presenting with the symptomology of any form of bipolar disorder as certain illnesses …

Identification of ESBL producing Escherichia coli from Urine Samples at Tertiary Care Hospital in Jhalawar
Abstract: Introduction: Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a serious worldwide threat to public health due to the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria and is considered as a great problem in the treatment of bacterial infections both in hospital as well as community settings. Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing strains have emerged as a significant challenge to counter with present antibiotics. Aims: Our study was aimed to know the prevalence of ESBL producing …

A Promising Approach Towards Arthritis: Bacopa Monnieri
Abstract: Joint inflammation, pain, and a progressive loss of function are the hallmarks of arthritis, a chronic and crippling condition that frequently results in disability and a lower quality of life. The need for safer options is highlighted by the fact that while current therapy approaches, such as NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic medications, give symptomatic relief, they are usually linked to serious adverse effects. In this regard, the wellknown Ayurvedic …

Investigation of Areca Stem and Banana Stem fibre Hybrid Composites for Improved Strength and Sustainable Applications
Abstract: Research on natural fibre reinforced polymer composites as eco-friendly substitutes for traditional synthetic composites has intensified due to growing need for sustainable engineering materials. This work used the Taguchi L9 orthogonal array to experimentally examine and optimize the mechanical behaviour of hybrid epoxy composites reinforced with areca and banana fibres. The impacts of epoxy matrix composition, areca and banana fibre content on the composite’s tensile strength, impact strength, flexural strength, …

Bio-Inspired Polymer Composites for Artificial Cartilage Replacement
Abstract: The rising cases of osteoarthritis, traumatic injuries, and degenerative joint diseases are also putting pressure on the new material that is durable, biocompatible and mechanically resilient to act as artificial cartilage. The normal articular cartilage is composed of collagen fibers, protein glycids and water in the interstitium. These elements provide it with excellent load bearing quality, lubrication and wear resistance. Due to the limited self-repair capacity of cartilage and the …

AI-Optimized Nano-Silica Reinforced PCM Composites for Predictive Solar-Thermal Energy Storage Networks
Abstract: This study presents an AI-optimized nano-silica reinforced polymer composite phase change material (PCM) for predictive solar-thermal energy storage networks. The proposed composite combines paraffin wax, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and uniformly dispersed nano-silica particles to improve thermal conductivity, structural stability, leakage resistance, and long-term cycling performance. The composite was fabricated through melt blending and ultrasonication-assisted nanoparticle dispersion, followed by comprehensive morphological, chemical, thermal, and thermophysical characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), …

A Study to Evaluate Knowledge of Radiotherapy Side Effects Among Cancer Patients
Abstract: Introduction: Ionizing radiation is used in radiotherapy, which is typically administered as part of cancer treatment to either kill or stop the development of cancerous cells. Radiation therapy is synergistic with chemotherapy and has been used before, during, and after chemotherapy in susceptible cancers. About 68% of patients received radiation therapy. Although radiation treatment (RT) is harmless in and of itself, there is a chance of iatrogenic adverse effects. A …

Performance of Concrete in Chemically Aggressive Environment by Using Cementitious Materials in Concrete
Abstract: This study investigates the performance and durability of sustainable concrete incorporating industrial and agricultural waste materials specifically Fly Ash, nano silica and Graphene Oxide when subjected to chemically aggressive environments. Traditional Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete often suffers from micro-structural degradation, sulfate attack, and acid penetration in harsh conditions. However, the integration of pozzolanic wastes creates a synergistic effect that densifies the concrete matrix through secondary C-S-H (Calcium Silicate Hydrate) …
