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 …

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Stem Cell Therapies Perspectives for It
Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by systemic inflammation, primarily affecting synovial joints, leading to joint destruction and systemic complications. The pathogenesis involves immune system dysregulation, autoantibody production, and enzymatic imbalances. Enzymes, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), serine proteases, and kinases, play crucial roles in these processes. Their dysregulation contributes significantly to disease progression through the imbalance of pro-inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. MMPs, …

Repurposing Approved Immunomodulatory Drugs for Target Proteins in the Pancreas of European eel: A Molecular Docking Approach
Abstract: Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by tiny parasites called Leishmania, which spread to humans through the bite of an infected female sand fly. The disease manifests in three different forms, and the protein calcitonin promotes the disease’s spread. By reducing blood calcium levels, inhibiting osteoclast activity, increasing calcium excretion, and possibly playing a role in neurotransmitter modulation, calcitonin, a hormone released by vertebrates, promotes the progression of pathogenesis and lessens …

Unani Concepts of Brain Pathology: Humoral Mechanisms in Māddī Neurological Disorders
Abstract: Background The Unani System of Medicine (USM) considers the brain (Dimāgh) as the principal organ of Quwā Nafsāniyya (psychic faculties), responsible for sensation, cognition, memory, movement, and emotional regulation. According to Unani principles, health is maintained through equilibrium of Mizāj (temperament) and Akhlāṭ (humours), whereas disease develops when this balance is disturbed. Among neurological disorders, Sū’-i-Mizāj Māddī Dimāgh refers to pathological conditions of the brain associated with the accumulation of …

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Types, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Novel Therapeutic Strategies
Abstract: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent type of lung cancer, accounting for over 85% of all cases globally. It remains one of the primary causes of cancer-related death due to its rapid progression, few early symptoms, and late detection. The three main forms of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and giant cell carcinoma; each has a unique histology, prognosis, and response to …

Unraveling the Nexus: Parkinson's Disease, Alpha-synuclein, Desulfovibrio, and the Gut Microbiome
Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is now recognized as a chronic condition which is once considered a highly intricate disorder involving the central, autonomic, and enteric nervous systems. The prevailing perspective attributes the disease by the formation of Lewy bodies, primarily triggered by the misfolding of α-Synuclein, leading to the demise of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Constipation, one of the most common non-motor symptoms in PD patients, is believed to …
