The Effect of Vitamin C on the Reproductive Functions of Paraquat Intoxicated Male Albino Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Abstract: Paraquat (PQ) is a bipyridylium herbicide applied around trees in Orchids and between crop rows to control broad-leaved and grassy weeds. Its oxidation results in the formation of superoxides and supernitrite species which causes damage to cellular components. Studies have implicated PQ as one of the pesticides that contributes to the reduction in male reproductive functions in humans and animals during exposure. This study, therefore, determined the antioxidant effect vitamin …

Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Review with Special Reference to Unani Concepts
Abstract: Dysmenorrhea is potentially the most common and most underdiagnosed gynecologic condition. It is characterized by crampy lower abdominal pain radiating to back and thigh. Nausea, vomiting, headache and diarrhea are frequent accompanying symptoms. An excess or imbalance of prostaglandins, vasopressin, and chemical substances derived from phospholipids play an important role in generating primary dysmenorrhea symptoms, although exact pathology is still difficult to understand. An estimated 10–30% of all working or …

Advances in Non-Invasive NIR-Techniques for Gout Detection and Measurement
Abstract: Recent advancements in non-invasive near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy techniques have significantly improved the detection and measurement of gout, a common form of inflammatory arthritis. Traditional diagnostic methods for gout, such as joint aspiration and crystal analysis, are invasive and can be uncomfortable for patients. In contrast, NIR spectroscopy offers a promising alternative by enabling real-time, non-invasive assessment of uric acid levels and related biomarkers associated with gout. The integration of portable …

Thermodynamic Irreversibility in Semen Transport
Abstract: Sperm ejaculation is a vital reproductive process that involves both complex biological functions and energetic mechanisms. Beyond the physiological aspects, thermodynamics offers a framework to analyze energy conversion, exergy use, and irreversibility during sperm activity. ATP provides the main source of exergy for motility, but part of this energy is inevitably lost as heat and entropy generation, reflecting inefficiencies in the process. Because heat regulation directly affects metabolic rates, motility …

A Comprehensive Review on Ethnomedicinal Uses of Fishes in Asia
Abstract: In Asia, fish hold a multifaceted role as crucial dietary and economic resources, cultural symbols, and traditional ethnomedicine remedies. With over 4,000 known freshwater and marine fish species in Asian waters, these aquatic creatures feature prominently in the region's diverse ethnomedical traditions. The continent's numerous ethnic groups, each with unique indigenous medical practices, often rely on traditional ethnomedicine due to limited access to modern allopathic healthcare. The paper delves into …
