Crossroads of Ecology and Medicine: Evaluating Pollutant-Induced Risks to Biodiversity and Human Health
Abstract: Environmental pollution has emerged as a central challenge at the crossroads of ecology and human medicine. The rapid pace of industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural intensification has led to an unprecedented release of pollutants into the air, water, and soil—triggering cascading effects on ecosystems and human health. Pollutants such as particulate matter, heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and persistent organic pollutants not only degrade biodiversity but also exert multifaceted health …

Neuroinflammation Is Aggravated by the Aqueous Extract of Myrmecodia Platytyrea Tuber
Abstract: Myrmecodia platytyrea, commonly known as the ant plant, is a medicinal epiphyte traditionally used in Southeast Asia for its purported health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. Its tuber contains abundant secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds, and saponins. While these phytochemicals are generally associated with therapeutic effects, the biological activity of Myrmecodia extracts varies depending on the type of extract, dosage, and route of administration. In …

Polymer-Coated Composite Granules of Clarithromycin: Design, Characterization, and Functional Evaluation for Taste Masking and Antibacterial Performance
Abstract: Background: Masking the unpleasant taste of clarithromycin is essential to improve patient adherence, especially among pediatric and elderly groups. However, enhancing palatability while maintaining its antibacterial effectiveness remains a significant formulation challenge. This study focused on developing polymer-coated clarithromycin granules (B1–B10) using novel non-sugar-based polymers and assessing their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus Methods: Clarithromycin granules were produced using a fluidized bed coating technique with non-saccharide polymers, specifically Eudragit E-100 …

Biopolymer Degradation and Structure–Property Relationships in Ageing: A Polymer Science Perspective
Abstract: Ageing, as viewed from the polymer sciences perspective, is perceived as the gradual modification of the structure-property-function interrelationship of biopolymers such as proteins, polysaccharides, nucleic acids and their molecular aggregates. Such changes include structural organization, mechanical behavior, physicochemical stability and functional effectiveness. Ageing is an inevitable multifactorial polymeric process. Due to the growing aging population globally, more age-associated complications emerge, which are correlated with the molecular degeneration of biopolymeric complexes. …

Climate Change and Urban Heat Islands in India: A Review Across Nine Urban Agglomerations
Abstract: Since 1901, anthropogenic climate change has raised India's mean surface temperatures by about 0.9°C, compounding warming. Rapid urbanization creates persistent Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), making cities dangerously hotter than rural areas. A combination of these forces presents acute thermal hazards to hundreds of millions of urban dwellers. The paper discusses the emergence and intensification of UHI in nine large Indian cities (Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and …

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 …
