Understanding : Vitiligo A Skin Conditions Beyond Color
Abstract: Patches of skin that have lost their pigmentation are the hallmark of vitiligo, a chronic skin disorder. The afflicted skin patches turn white and typically have strong edges. Additionally, the skin's hair may turn white. There may also be issues with the inside of the mouth and nose. The rate at which skin conditions cause color loss is uncertain. When the cells that make melanin cease to function or die, …

Quantum-Fuzzy Tensor Operators and Uncertainty-Band Bifurcation for Symmetry-Preserving State Discrimination
Abstract: A tensor-operator framework is developed for fuzzy conjunction, fuzzy disjunction, and symmetry-preserving state discrimination in multi-qubit quantum systems. In this formulation, fuzzy membership and non-membership degrees are represented through expectations of effect operators acting on density matrices, providing a natural bridge between fuzzy logic and quantum measurement theory. Conjunction and disjunction operations are extended to the quantum domain via tensorised channels, constructed using projective measurements and unitary transformations, enabling logical …

Aquaculture Advancements Through Bioactive Molecules
Abstract: A wide range of seafood species – including fish, shellfish, squid, and bivalves – generate by-products that are often discarded as waste. However, these by-products hold great potential for developing innovative functional food products. Because there is limited opportunity to recycle natural resources, the loss of profit may be accompanied by the loss of ecological sustainability, given that the “wastes” of industrial processing can account for up to 75% of …

Adipofascial Flap Cover For Medial Maleolus Defect
Abstract: Soft tissue defects in the lower third of the leg, particularly over the medial malleolus, pose significant challenges due to poor vascularization and the limited availability of reliable local flaps. Over the past two decades, free tissue transfer has emerged as the preferred option for covering such defects. However, in certain cases, free flap transfer is not feasible due to patient-specific factors, cost constraints, or donor site morbidity. Traditional pedicled …

Cancer Chemotherapy-Induced Cachexia: Bridging Mechanisms, Management, and Future Therapies
Abstract: Involuntary weight loss, skeletal muscle atrophy, adipose tissue depletion, anorexia, and systemic inflammation are all symptoms of chemotherapy-induced cachexia, a complex illness. Although it is common, it remains poorly understood and is often referred to as an "orphan disease." This study covers the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and emerging treatment options for chemotherapy-induced cachexia. To comprehend the causes, clinical results, and therapeutic approaches, a literature-based synthesis of recent …

A Study of The Unknown Cases Brought for Autopsy at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital
Abstract: Somatic death is the state of body that shows complete loss of sensibility and the ability to move. There is complete cessation of functions of the brain, the heart and the lungs, so called “Tripod of Life” which maintains life and health. Unknown cases refer to those cases where the identity of the patients could not be made. This may be due to the fact that most of these cases …

A Study of Diabetic Retinopathy using Convolutional Neural Networks
Abstract: This paper focuses on study of rapid detection of retinopathy, since prompt therapy can help decrease as well as possibly eliminate loss of eyesight. Furthermore, automatically locating portions of the optic picture which may include lesions could aid professionals in their identification function. Retinopathy is a frequent diabetic condition that comprises changes in the retinal blood capillaries. Such changes may lead capillaries to rupture as well as release fluid, causing …

Polymer-Based Chemistry of Carbohydrate-Derived Fulvic Acid and Its Comparative Effect with Chelating Agents on Root Dentin Microhardness
Abstract: The interaction between the polymer science and the endodontic biomaterials field has increased recently while considering the search for chelating agents. CHD-FA (Carbohydrate-Derived Fulvic Acid), a naturally occurring low-molecular-weight polymeric organic acid, has potential chelating and antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. This investigation examines the polymeric chemistry of CHD-FA and compares the effect of CHD-FA with other chelating agents, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and citric acid, on root dentin microhardness. A total …

Optimization of Characteristics of a Simple Microstrip Circular Patch Antenna using Rotable Slot
Abstract: In this paper, we have designed a simple circular patch antenna which radiates at 2.8 GHz. A slot is introduced and is rotated along the center axis. We have noticed that the frequency of the antenna is varied as a function of slot orientation. An optimal slot angle is determined based on the return loss and then the slot, patch dimensions are optimized to increase the realized gain and return …

Environmental Pollutants and Biodiversity Loss: Analyzing the Role of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Ecosystem Decline
Abstract: Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) significantly impact biodiversity, with various factors influencing their effects on species and ecosystems. Species in poor body condition, like carnivores and predators, are more vulnerable to POPs due to weakened immune systems and reduced detoxification abilities. Dietary habits also affect the accumulation of POPs, as chemicals biomagnify up the food chain. Carnivores accumulate higher concentrations, leading to reproductive failures, hormonal imbalances, and death, while herbivores face …

A Review on Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Parkinsons’s Disease Diagnosis and Treatment and Its Future Challenges
Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a long-term, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that mainly occurs in people older than 60 years, affecting nearly 1% of this population. It is chiefly marked by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, a crucial brain region responsible for controlling motor functions. The resultant dopamine deficiency significantly disrupts motor control, manifesting in clinical symptoms such as tremors, bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, and postural instability. While PD …
