Acupuncture in Pain Management: A Neurophysiological and Clinical Perspective
Abstract: Acupuncture, a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, has gained widespread recognition as an alternative therapy for pain management. This practice involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to influence the flow of energy or "Qi" (pronounced "chee") and restore balance. Mechanistically, acupuncture is believed to modulate pain through neurophysiological pathways, including the release of endorphins, the activation of the body's natural analgesic systems, and …

Personalized Therapy Using Drug Delivery Devices
Abstract: The persistent challenge in modern medicine lies in inter-patient heterogeneity, rendering standardized drug dosing protocols suboptimal for many chronic conditions. Traditional pharmacokinetics fail to account for real-time biological fluctuations, leading to cycles of ineffective treatment or dose-limiting toxicity. This paper explores the critical intersection of advanced drug delivery devices (DDDs) and personalized medicine, positioning these technologies as the vital link translating genomic and biological data into tangible, patient- specific interventions. …

A Review on: Cotard’s Syndrome
Abstract: Cotard’s Syndrome is a rare and severe mental health condition characterized by nihilistic delusions, in which individuals firmly believe that they are dead, no longer exist, or that parts of their body are decaying or missing. These beliefs are not symbolic or metaphorical but are experienced as absolute truths, making the disorder particularly distressing and difficult to manage. The syndrome is most commonly observed in association with major depressive disorder, …

Marine Fungi – An Expandable Source for Production of Novel Bioactive Metabolites: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: The marine environment, representing the largest and most extreme biome on Earth, serves as an unparalleled reservoir of biodiversity. Within this vast ecosystem, marine fungi have emerged as a prolific source of structurally diverse and pharmacologically active secondary metabolites. Dwelling in habitats characterized by extreme high salinity, high hydrostatic pressure, and low temperatures, these microorganisms have evolved unique biochemical and metabolic pathways to synthesize novel compounds, including pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids, cyclic …

Circadian Regulation of Lipid Peroxidation in the Brain: Linking Ferroptosis to Neurodegenerative Vulnerability
Abstract: The human brain operates through highly coordinated physiological and biochemical processes that regulate cognition, behavior, and neural adaptability. Central to these processes are mechanisms governing brain function, neurophysiology, and neuroplasticity, which are increasingly recognized to be influenced by circadian rhythms. Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging, and behavioral neuroscience have revealed that disruptions in circadian regulation can significantly impact oxidative balance within the brain, particularly through enhanced lipid peroxidation. Lipid …

Explainable Artificial Intelligence in Personalized Medicine: Emerging Clinical Perspectives
Abstract: The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and precision medicine has transformed contemporary healthcare by enabling data-driven clinical decision-making, individualized therapeutic interventions, and predictive diagnostics. However, despite remarkable advances in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), the widespread adoption of AI in healthcare remains constrained by the “black-box” nature of many computational systems. Clinicians, regulatory agencies, and patients increasingly demand transparency, interpretability, and trustworthiness in AI-guided medical recommendations. Explainable Artificial …

From Humours to Metabolism: An Integrative Review of Obesity Management in Unani Medicine
Abstract: Unani Medicine, a traditional complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) system, adopts a holistic, temperament-based approach to disease prevention and management. In classical Unani literature, obesity is described as Simān-e-Mufriṭ, a pathological condition arising from humoral imbalance, particularly the predominance of phlegm (Balgham) and derangement of temperament (Su’-e-Mizāj), most commonly of a cold and moist nature. This condition is attributed to a sedentary lifestyle, weakened digestive and metabolic faculties, and excessive …
