Evaluating the Role of Platelet Indices, with a Focus on Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF), in Differentiating Hyper-Destructive and Hypo-Productive Thrombocytopenia: A Study from Ludhiana, Punjab, India
Abstract: Background: Thrombocytopenia, characterized by a reduction in platelet count, is commonly observed in clinical settings. Its etiology can be broadly classified into hyper-destructive thrombocytopenia, where platelets are destroyed at an accelerated rate, and hypo-productive thrombocytopenia, where platelet production is impaired. Differentiating between these two causes is essential for effective management. The Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) has emerged as a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool to distinguish these causes. Objectives: The primary …

Hydrothermal modification of carbon fiber fabrics by ZnO nanorods for mechanical strengthening of CFRP laminates
Abstract: Hexagonal ZnO nanorods were produced on plain woven carbon fiber using a two-step seed-assisted hydrothermal procedure. By varying the process parameters such as molar concentrations, number of seeding cycles, and growth duration at a controlled growth temperature of 90 °C, it is feasible to produce ZnO nanostructures with a range of morphologies, including nanowires, hexagonal nanorods, and nanoflowers. The developed morphologies were examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy and …

Novel Synthesis of Encapsulated Super Paramagnetic Iron Nanoparticles (Fe3O4) and its Evaluation in Drug Delivery System
Abstract: Nanoparticles can be defined as solid, submicron, colloidal particles ranging in size from 10–100 nm in diameter, generally but not necessarily made of natural or synthetic polymers, in which drugs can be adsorbed, entrapped, that exhibit new or enhanced size-dependent properties as compared to microparticles. Iron oxide nanoparticles are often magnetic by nature, which means that they obey Coulomb’s law, and can be manipulated by an external magnetic field gradient. …

THE BURDEN OF EMPIRICAL THERAPY: ANALYZING THE PREDOMINANCE OF BROAD-SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTIC USAGE IN LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS
Abstract: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) remain one of the leading causes of morbidity and hospitalization worldwide, particularly among older adults, immunocompromised individuals, and patients with chronic respiratory disorders. These infections include conditions such as community-acquired pneumonia, hospital-acquired pneumonia, bronchitis, and acute infective exacerbations of chronic lung disease, all of which often require rapid clinical intervention. Because microbiological confirmation of the causative pathogen frequently takes 48–72 hours, clinicians generally initiate empirical …
