Lithium Induces Lower Specific Activity and Expression of Acetylcholinesterase in Old Aged Rats Brain and Liver for the Regulation of Acetyl Choline Cellular Signaling
Abstract: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) acts on acetylcholine (ACh) to terminate its actions on the synaptic cleft by cleaving Ach to choline and acetate. This directly correlates with memory dysfunction and loss of cognitive functions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients which was a continuous decline of the cholinergic neurotransmission in cortical and other regions of human brain. Specific activity and expression for AChEwere determined in LiCl2 treated young and old male wistar rat's …

Retrieval of nouns and verbs in Persons with Aphasia
Abstract: A grammatically correct sentence is comprised of two parts, a subject (noun or pronoun) and a predicate (verb). The noun represents the names of a particular person, place or thing. The verb, on the other hand, represents actions, states, processes or relations. Nouns and verbs, differ in the linguistic dimensions, such as word frequency, imageabilty, and lexical semantic variables. These varying dimensions have been explored in individuals with Aphasia and …

Treatment of Severe Iron Deficiency Anemia with the Traditional Koryo Medicine—Ginseng Anticancer Composite Drug (GACCD)
Abstract: In contrast to many medical conditions whose discovery carries a specific date often associated with a particular investigator, iron deficiency is an ancient disorder that stretches to the dawn of human history. In recent years, Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a disease that has reached epidemic proportions affecting countries worldwide, when it commonly begins from denutrition. Iron deficiency produces microcytic hypochromic red cells and substantially depresses both the mean corpuscular …

Gallbladder Papillary Carcinoma, The Difficulty of Early Detection: A Case Report
Abstract: Gallbladder carcinoma is the sixth most common malignant tumour of the gastrointestinal tract and the most frequent malignant neoplasm of the biliary tract. Papillary carcinomas are uncommon neoplasm’s, representing nearly 5–12% of all malignant gallbladder tumours. Evidence accumulated in the last 20 years indicates that papillary carcinomas of the gallbladder are associated with a better prognosis than conventional nonpapillary carcinomas.We report our experience with gallbladder papillary carcinoma incidentally diagnosed during …

Retroperitoneal Lymphatic Cyst Mimicking Appendicular Mucocele and Lymphangioma
Abstract: Chronic pain in right lower abdominal quadrant is a common entity in young adults in surgical cases. We report a case of 16 years old female who presented with complaints of pain in right lower quadrant and high grade fever. CECT (Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography) abdomen suggested the possibility of giant mucocele of appendix and other cystic lesions such as retroperitoneal lymphangioma. USG (ultrasonography) suggested possibility of lymphangioma. Exploratory laparotomy …

Environmental implications of hospital laundry services
Abstract: The environmental implications of hospital laundry services differ markedly from those in the hospitality sector. This distinction stems from the need to handle hospital linens soiled with various bodily fluids, necessitating disinfection before washing. Hospital linens encompass a diverse range of fabrics used throughout medical facilities, including mattresses, pillowcases, blankets, bed sheets, towels, curtains, screens, and aprons. Maintaining the cleanliness of hospital linens is crucial for patient comfort, reducing discomfort, …

Guidelines for Management of Post Lymphedema Nonhealing Ulcer of Lower Limb
Abstract: Lymphedema represents a widespread medical concern, affecting a staggering 140.2 million individuals globally; however, its status as a vascular disease often remains underappreciated. In contrast to arterial and venous diseases, which have witnessed advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches with the formulation of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), lymphedema faces a conspicuous dearth of such comprehensive guidance. Despite the significant global prevalence of lymphedema, the lack of wellestablished guidelines has impeded …

Effects of Fiber Hybridization on Tensile, Flexural, and Impact Strength of Hybrid Natural Fiber Epoxy Composites
Abstract: This study investigates the mechanical performance of epoxy composites reinforced with hemp, ramie, and flax fibers and evaluates the effect of fiber hybridization. Single-fiber composites were fabricated using hand lay-up followed by vacuum-bagging consolidation and compared with three hybrid systems: hemp–flax (HF), hemp–ramie (HR), and flax–ramie (FR). Tensile, flexural, and drop-weight impact properties were evaluated using standardized test procedures. Among the single-fiber composites, flax exhibited the highest tensile strength of …

A Comparative Machine Learning Framework for Early Prediction of Liver Cancer Using Clinical Attributes
Abstract: One of the main causes of cancer-related death globally is liver cancer, and improving patient outcomes depends heavily on early detection. However, low contrast, noise, organ similarity, and tumor shape and size variability make it difficult to accurately identify and segment liver tumors from medical imaging. Automated liver cancer diagnosis, segmentation, and prognosis have been greatly improved by recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI), especially deep learning. This work presents …

Comparative Evaluation of Pedigree-Based and Genomic BLUP Models for Wheat Grain Yield Prediction
Abstract: Before genome-wide molecular markers became affordable, plant and animal breeding relied on pedigree-based prediction (P-BLUP), using the expected additive relationship matrix (A) derived from recorded ancestry. Genomic selection replaced or augmented this with a marker-derived genomic relationship matrix (G; GBLUP), and single-step methods combining A and G are now standard when only a subset of a breeding population is genotyped. It is less clear whether pedigree information retains any predictive …
