Understanding the Cervical Spine Disorder: A Cross-sectional Survey Study
Abstract: Cervical spine disorders encompass a spectrum of conditions including degenerative spondylosis, disc herniation, traumatic injuries, and myelopathy that impair quality of life through chronic pain, neurological deficits, and functional limitations. Globally, neck pain affects over 200 million individuals, with an age-standardized prevalence of 2666 per 100000 population and an incidence of 816 per 100000 person-years, contributing to significant years lived with disability (YLDs). Economic analyses estimate annual direct healthcare costs …

Immune Dysregulation and Cytokine Circuitry in Genital Endometriosis: Mechanistic Insights and Next-Generation Immunotherapeutic Strategies
Abstract: Genital endometriosis is increasingly recognized as an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder driven by complex interactions between dysregulated immune cells, cytokine hubs, and microbiome-derived modulators. This review introduces a novel “immune–cytokine circuitry” framework that unifies innate and adaptive immune abnormalities with key cytokine loops sustaining chronic inflammation, angiogenesis, neuroinflammation, and immune tolerance. Within this circuitry, macrophage polarization, dendritic cell immaturity, NK-cell anergy, Treg expansion, Th17 amplification, and B-cell–mediated autoimmunity converge to establish …

A Systematic Review on Coronary Heart Disease: A Transient Ischemic Stroke
Abstract: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) are significant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders that often share similar risk factors and underlying pathophysiological processes. CHD involves the narrowing or obstruction of the coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis, resulting in diminished blood flow to the heart. A transient ischemic attack (TIA), often called a "mini stroke," occurs when blood flow to the brain is briefly disrupted, usually due to a …

Integrating Ayurveda in Infertility Management: A Case Study on Fimbrial Blockage
Abstract: Infertility significantly impacts a woman’s psychological and physical health, as well as that of her family. Fallopian tube blockage is one of the leading causes of female infertility, accounting for a substantial number of cases globally. Conventional medical approaches, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surgical procedures, often present barriers due to their high cost, invasive nature, and limited accessibility. Additionally, cultural, financial, and personal considerations can further restrict their …

Advancement in Biodegradable Equipment for Flexible and Sustainable Electronics
Abstract: Biodegradable electronics are a quickly developing area focused on reducing the environmental impact of traditional electronic waste by using materials that can break down naturally after use. These devices use eco-friendly polymers, nanocomposites, and bio-based materials that maintain electrical function temporarily before safely decomposing. Recent developments show the potential of plant-based polymers, conductive biodegradable composites, and transient materials that support flexible and wearable applications without causing long-term harm to the …

Polymers In Low-Resource Biomedical Innovation: Maker Labs, DIY Devices and Ethics
Abstract: The low-cost biomedical devices have been prototyped and sometimes put into practice by maker laboratories and community "DIY" (Do-It-Yourself maker) innovators due to the fast-growing availability of polymer-based fabrication (desktop 3D printing, laser cutting, and simple molding). Nowadays, polymers such as PLA, PETG, TPU, and PEEK are used in a wide range of applications, including surgical guides and anatomical models, as well as assistive technology and diagnostic housings. Such innovations …

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 …

Preoperative Use of Midazolam vs Dexmedetomidine for Anxiolysis in Day-Care Surgery
Abstract: Surgical procedures trigger significant fear and anxiety that can adversely affect physiological responses and recovery outcomes. This prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial compared the anxiolytic efficacy and safety of intravenous midazolam and dexmedetomidine in 60 patients undergoing day-care surgery. Primary outcomes included anxiety scores measured by STAI and sedation assessed by the OAAS scale at multiple perioperative time points. Secondary outcomes assessed in the study included detailed evaluation of hemodynamic …

Jaundice: Etiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, Management, Nursing Care, and Prevention
Abstract: Jaundice is a significant clinical condition marked by a yellow discoloration of the skin, sclera, and mucous membranes resulting from increased bilirubin levels in the bloodstream. Rather than being a disease itself, jaundice represents an underlying disorder involving the liver, biliary system, or hematological processes. Hyperbilirubinemia develops when there is excessive bilirubin production, impaired hepatic uptake, defective conjugation, or obstruction in bile excretion. Jaundice remains a major global health concern …

Smart Drug Delivery Using Nanorobots
Abstract: In recent years, the field of micro/nanorobot research has gained popularity. Because it can be used in targeted medication distribution, surgical procedures, disease detection, etc., it has enormous promise in medical therapy. Different from conventional medication delivery, which depends on blood flow to drug delivery to difficult-to-reach locations is made possible by the planned micro/nanorobots' ability to move independently. Micro/nanorobots were powered by either endogenous power (chemical reaction energy) or …
