A Review on Unmasking Merkel Cell Polyomavirus: From Discovery to Cancer Driver
Abstract: Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a small, non-enveloped, circular double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Polyomaviridae family, first characterized in 2008. Epidemiological data suggest widespread exposure, with seroprevalence rates approaching 80% in adults. While primary infection is typically asymptomatic, rare integration events in Merkel cells can initiate oncogenesis, yielding Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a neuroendocrine skin cancer with a five-year survival rate under 60%. This review integrates findings from six …

Exploring the Potential of AI-Driven Personalized Learning and Cognitive Interventions for ADHD Management in Indian Children and Adolescents: A Focus on Early Intervention
Abstract: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental condition that significantly impairs attention, executive functioning, and behavioural regulation in children and adolescents. In India, the management of ADHD is particularly challenging due to low public awareness, social stigma, and a critical shortage of specialized mental health services, especially in rural areas. These systemic barriers often lead to delayed diagnoses and limited access to consistent care. However, with the rapid …
