Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Current Update from Literature
Abstract: PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is an endocrine condition that affects women of reproductive age and can have catastrophic consequences. Menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, evidence of hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance are all indicators of PCOS. PCOS individuals are more likely to suffer reproductive, metabolic, and cardiovascular problems. The pathogenesis of PCOS is complicated by a number of factors, including genetics, environmental factors, hormonal imbalances, obesity, ovarian dysfunction, and hypothalamus pituitary malformations. Despite …

Mucosal Vaccines in Fish: Novel Advances in Technology and Delivery: A Review
Abstract: Vaccines rely on the acquired immune system and prime an animal to a particular antigen so that on subsequent encounter; it is recognized and quickly destroyed. The vast majority of pathogens enter the body via the mucosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urogenital tracts, where they initiate mucosal infections that lead to systemic infections. There is strong evidence that an optimum mucosal immune response can prevent systemic infection and …
