SGOT (Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase)—Its Role (A Review Article)
Abstract: Aspartate transaminase (AST) is an important liver enzyme which catalyses reversible transfer of an alpha amino group between aspartate and glutamate. It has an important role in amino acid metabolism. AST is predominantly found in the liver, skeletal muscle, kidneys, brain and red blood cells. AST is measured as a part of diagnostic liver function test, but AST reflects pathology in organs other than liver. Elevation in AST is found …

Computational Analysis of Leaf Spring System with Functionally Graded Materials Using ANSYS
Abstract: Leaf springs are important parts of a vehicle’s suspension system, and their main function is to absorb shocks, improve stability, and make the ride more comfortable. Traditionally, ASTM A36 steel is used because it is strong, long-lasting, affordable, and easy to get. However, this type of steel is very dense, which makes vehicles heavier. This extra weight makes the vehicle less efficient and increases emissions. Because of these issues, there …

Alopecia Areata: Complex Roots and Potential Cures
Abstract: Autoimmunity is when the healthy organs of an individual’s body are attacked by its own immune system, leading to illness or functional abnormalities. The hair follicles (HFs) are wrongly destroyed by the immune system in a condition known as Alopecia Areata and results in chronic non-cicatricial hair loss discernible by spherical patches. It’s a severely worsening or relapsing malady that can be permanent during severe falling out of hair. In …
