A Study of Histomorphological Changes of Lungs in Hanging Cases in Medicolegal Autopsies
Abstract: Hanging is a form of death, produced by suspending the body with a ligature round the neck, the constricting force being the weight of the body (or a part of the body weight. Hanging has been recognized, since ancient times to be a common mode of committing suicide. Hanging is chosen as a method of suicide used by both the extremes of age i.e. young and old, both the extremes …

Immunology and Immunotherapy of Pulmonary adenocarcinoma: A Systematic Review
Abstract: Lung cancer is the world's second leading cause of death, with an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Approximately 80% of all lung cancer is caused by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Due to lack of early detection and treatment, the incidence rate of lung cancer prognosis remains low. CD4+T-lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and natural killer cells are among the immune cells involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. The …

A Surgical Exploration of the Mechanism and Regulation of the Respiratory System: A Conceptual Analysis
Abstract: The respiratory system plays a vital role in facilitating the movement of air in and out of the body, comprising a complex network of anatomical pathways. It is conventionally divided into two primary sections: the upper respiratory tract and the lower respiratory tract. Within the upper respiratory tract lie structures extending from the nasal passages down to the vocal cords, crucial for phonation. These vocal cords, composed of mucous membrane …

Development of Formulation for Dry Powder Inhalation of Amino Acids Aimed at Smoking Cessation: A Biomedical Perspective
Abstract: This study aims to develop an effective and compliant therapy targeting the lungs through the strategic utilization of amino acids, which play a crucial role in modulating mood and behavior during activities like smoking. L-Tryptophan and L-Tyrosine were finely micronized within the 2–4 µm range, with lactose serving as a carrier, to create a dry powder inhalation formulation. The combination of these amino acids is anticipated to elicit a synergistic …

Pneumonia Detection and Classification Using Deep Learning
Abstract: Pneumonia, an infectious lung disease primarily caused by bacteria, often exacerbated by environmental factors, leads to the accumulation of pus in the lung’s alveoli. Accurate diagnosis through chest X-rays, ultrasounds, or lung biopsies is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure proper treatment, crucial for patients’ quality of life. Diagnostic capacities have been greatly improved by deep learning advances, especially with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This research presents a robust CNN-based …

Investigation of Electronic Transport Characteristics of Co-Doped B40 Molecular Junction for Detection of Isoprene: A DFT Study
Abstract: The early identification of lung cancer is crucial and it can be diagnosed non-invasively by assessing the exhalation. Analysing a patient's breath profile can reveal malignant growths in their lungs. In this work, B40 co-doped with indium and iron is used as a molecular junction to sense isoprene, a well-known lung cancer biomarker present in the exhalation. The electronic transport characteristics of the molecular junction designed for isoprene detection are …

Shadows of Uncertainty: When Pneumonia Isn’t Pneumonia
Abstract: Pneumonia is a common medical condition encountered in hospitalized patients and remains a cause of morbidity worldwide. Identifying and initiating appropriate treatment in febrile patients who present with respiratory symptoms and radiographic infiltrates, reduce hospital stay, minimize complications, and lower healthcare costs. However, the assumption that every pulmonary infiltrate or opacity seen on a radiological imaging represents an infectious process such as pneumonia can lead to misdiagnosis, unnecessary investigations, prolonged …

In Silico Screening and Molecular Docking of Cynodon dactylon phytochemicals against COPD-Associated Proteins
Abstract: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD is a pulmonary disease that obstructs airways and alveoli accompanied by respiratory issues like emphysema and bronchitis. This disease is caused mainly by inflammatory responses of the body to foreign particles that enter the respiratory path including tobacco smoke, air pollutants and irritants. The hallmark of COPD is excessive inflammation caused by imbalance in protease anti-protease activity. Proteases like elastase breakdown the ECM of …

Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Approach to Reveal the Underlying Mechanisms of Isorhamnetin in the Treatment of Lymphangitis Carcinomatosis
Abstract: Objective: Lymphangitic carcinomatosis (LC) is a tumor that spreads through lung lymphatics and is most commonly seen secondary to adenocarcinoma. In the majority of cases, LC is a result of tumor cells spreading through the lymphatic system. However, approximately 20% of LC cases can be attributed to lymphangitis caused by tumors obstructing lymphatic drainage. This blockage commonly occurs near the lung hilum, where a centrally located mass can cause inflammation …
