Numerical Study and Comparison of Passive Mixing in Helical Micromixers
Abstract: A passive mixing inside three micromixers has been studied with water as the mixing fluid. Since the mixing at the micro-level is governed by species diffusion hence it is a time-consuming process that requires an extended length of micromixer for the required amount of mixing. The present study tackles this problem by introducing two helical micromixers, a Three-dimensional helical micromixer (TDHM), and TDHM having four inlets (TDHM-FO). These micromixers need …

Gut Microbial Metabolites in Inflammatory, Metabolic, and Neurologic Disorders.
Abstract: The human gut microbiota transforms dietary and hostderived substrates into a diverse array of metabolites—including shortchain fatty acids (SCFAs), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), bile acid derivatives, indoles, trimethylamine Noxide (TMAO), branchedchain amino acid (BCAA) derivatives, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)—that act as key signaling mediators along epithelial, immune, endocrine, and neural axes. These metabolites regulate barrier integrity, energy homeostasis, inflammation, and gut–brain communication and are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel …
