Paternal Pre-Pubertal Smoking: Small RNAs, Lasting Marks, and the Hidden Legacy of Early Exposure
Abstract: While the negative effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy are well-established, the lasting and transgenerational impact of paternal pre-pubertal smoking remains a critical, underexplored area. Emerging evidence in sperm epigenetics suggests that cigarette exposure during early male development may create persistent molecular imprints that can affect the health of future offspring. This phenomenon is rooted in the fact that heredity extends beyond the DNA sequence. Sperm carry a complex epigenetic …

Vitamin D Mitigates Inflammation and Downregulates Importin α3 in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects about one-third of the population in the United States and Western countries, reaching up to 90% among obese individuals and those undergoing bariatric surgery. Characterized by hepatic fat accumulation, NAFLD progresses from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and, in rare cases, hepatocellular carcinoma. Linked intricately with metabolic syndrome, including diabetes and obesity, NAFLD development involves insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. Experimental evidence consistently …

Activated Carbon Materials as Ideal Adsorbents for the Desulfurization of Fossil Fuels
Abstract: Removal of organosulfur compounds from diesel is of interest from scientific, social, economic, and environmental viewpoints. Production of clean fuel remains a primary goal of the petroleum refining industry. The reduction of sulfur content below stringent ppm levels in diesel fuels becomesincreasingly challenging due to the presence of sterically hindered sulfur compounds, such as 4,6- dialkyldibenzothiophenes, which are resistant to removal over conventional supported mixed sulfide hydrodesulfurization catalysts. Consequently, alternative …

Molecular Docking of Abroma augusta Phytocompounds Against Estrogen Receptor Alpha (Er-Α) for the Treatment of Menstrual Disorders
Abstract: Menstrual disorders, including dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), and irregular menstrual cycles, significantly impact women’s reproductive health and overall well-being. These conditions often arise from hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and uterine dysfunction, necessitating effective therapeutic interventions. Current treatments, such as hormonal therapies (oral contraceptives, progestin-only pills), NSAIDs, and surgical procedures (endometrial ablation, hysterectomy), provide relief but often target symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes. Consequently, there is a …

A Sustainable EOQ Model for Declining Products Incorporating Cubic Demand, Variable Deterioration, Partial Backlogging, and Carbon Emission Optimization
Abstract: In this paper proposes a sustainable Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model for inventory systems involving decaying items under cubic time-dependent demand, variable decaying rates, and partial backlogging while absolutely considering carbon emission costs. The model reflects practical market actions where demand initially increases and afterwards declines over time, and decay depends on the age of the item. To demonstrate the current model's applicability as well as evaluate the trade-off between …
