A Conceptual Framework for AI-Integrated Metabolomics in Predictive Health Systems for Resource-Constrained Environments
Abstract: The increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) continues to place a significant strain on healthcare systems, particularly in low- and middle-income regions where access to early diagnostic infrastructure is limited. Conventional healthcare approaches remain largely reactive, often detecting diseases at advanced stages when treatment effectiveness is reduced. This challenge underscores the need for predictive, cost-effective, and data-driven healthcare solutions. This study presents a conceptual framework that integrates metabolomics with artificial …

Oceanmind Systems: AI-Driven Marine Life Intelligence for Climate Prediction and Ocean Ecosystem Stability
Abstract: Oceans regulate global climate systems, support biodiversity, and serve as critical carbon sinks, yet they remain under-monitored relative to their ecological importance. Traditional oceanographic methods rely heavily on satellite sensing, buoy networks, and periodic marine surveys, which often fail to capture real-time biological dynamics at micro-ecosystem levels. This paper introduces OceanMind Systems, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven marine intelligence framework that integrates marine life behavior, oceanographic data, and computational modeling to …

Effect of MoO3 as a Promoter in Cu-Mgo-Al2O3 (Hydrotalcite like Precursor) Catalyst for the Vapour Phase Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde
Abstract: An attempt has been made to study the role of MoO3 as promoterin Cu-MgO-Al2O3 (hydrotalcite like precursor) for the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde in vapour phase at atmospheric pressure. It is interesting to note that the MoO3 addition plays an important role in maintaining enhanced activity and stability of the catalyst by avoiding agglomeration of Cu species during the time on stream study. The discrepancy in the catalysts was clearly monitored …

Pickering asphalt-water emulsions stabilized by polystyrene nanoparticles obtained from recycled material
Abstract: In recent years, emulsified asphalt has been found to offer numerous advantages over conventional asphalt. More recently still, emulsified asphalt stabilized with nanoparticles has emerged as an option for the construction field because this substance has many advantages over traditional emulsified asphalt, which is formulated with surfactants that tend to be less stable and more toxic. These new formulations are called Pickering emulsions. They can align with basic sustainability principles. …

Pathways of Periodontal Disease and Alveolar Bone Loss in Type II Diabetes
Abstract: or poorly-controlled type II diabetes often exhibits a high morbidity of periodontal pathology. Food impaction in defective restorations or open proximal contacts often leads to infection, carious lesions, periodontitis, alveolar bone loss and often tooth loss. An iatrogenic injury occurs when restorations are defective, fractures, or have open proximal contacts and are not planned to be repaired or replaced. In addition to having poor therapeutic outcomes, defective restorations or open …

Review of Oral Propranolol Therapy for Infantile Hemangioma
Abstract: Infantile hemangioma, or called as strawberry hemangioma, is the most common vascular tumor in infancy. Although most will resolve, the rest of IHs are significantly worrisome; some can ulcerate or even grow at an unpredictable rate, which leads to disfigurement and dysfunctional body parts. The treatment should be focused on prevention of life-threatening complications, prevention of permanent scarring, and avoidance of aggressive treatments; these are the goals of management. This …
