Qooba (Dermatophytosis): A Review on Myths and Facts Surrounding Fungal Infection of Skin
Abstract: When we hear the word "ringworm", we envision a collection of puny worms slithering around on our skin. Then we may have fallen prey to one of the many misconceptions about this common skin condition. In reality, ringworm is far less creepy than the name suggests. Probably the most pervasive ringworm myth, this one stems from the condition's name. Despite its creepy-crawly name, ringworm (also called tinea) is not caused …

Immune Boosting Functional Foods for Strengthening Host Defense Mechanism to Combat in Opposition to Covid-19 and Unani Guidelines of Ayush for Its Prevention
Abstract: The Immune systems protect the host in opposition to infectious and poisonous diseases and guard from contagious agents present in the environment, such as viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites. Blood performs an essential position in enhancing immunity because of the arrival of white blood cells or tissues that combat in opposition to infectious diseases. Sometimes they are not able to understand those organisms. Due to this reason, we want to …

Microplastics in Terrestrial Ecosystems: Impacts on Soil Biodiversity, Plant Growth, and Nutrient Cycling
Abstract: Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have emerged as a widespread environmental contaminant in terrestrial ecosystems. Although their impacts in aquatic environments have received considerable attention, the occurrence and ecological consequences of microplastics in soil ecosystems are increasingly recognized as an important environmental concern. Agricultural practices, plastic mulching, sewage sludge application, wastewater irrigation, compost, atmospheric deposition, and the fragmentation of larger plastic materials are major pathways through …

The Insect Microbiome: Reviewing the Mutualistic Ties Between Insects and Microbes
Abstract: Insects are the most diverse and abundant class of animals on Earth, occupying virtually every terrestrial and freshwater ecological niche. A primary engine driving their evolutionary radiation, nutritional versatility, and physiological resilience is their intimate association with microbial symbionts. The insect microbiome, comprising bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protists, spans a continuum from transient environmental commensals to obligate intracellular mutualists. This review comprehensively synthesizes current knowledge on the functional architecture, transmission …

Advancing Climate-Resilient Agriculture: Integrative Biotechnological Approaches for Sustainable Crop Production
Abstract: Climate change presents a major challenge to global agriculture by increasing the occurrence and severity of both non-living and living stress factors, such as drought, high temperatures, salt buildup, waterlogging, and new pests and diseases. These stressors interfere with the normal functioning of plants at the physical, chemical, and genetic levels, which in turn results in lower crop yields and poorer quality. While traditional methods of plant breeding played a …

Curvularia spp. and Curvularia Infections: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Curvularia spp., dematiaceous (melanin-pigmented) fungi in the family Pleosporaceae, emerge as opportunistic pathogens that cause phaeohyphomycosis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, and keratitis. This review dissects their pathogenesis via melanized cell walls, conferring tissue invasion, protease secretion, and immune evasion in immunocompromised hosts. Clinical manifestations span cutaneous (70%), sinopulmonary (20%), disseminated (5-10%), and CNS forms, mimicking aspergillosis or mucormycosis. Laboratory diagnosis hinges on histopathology (irregular septate hyphae, 3-8 µm, brown on Fontana-Masson), …

NFT Mining
Abstract: The idea behind Non-Fungible Token (NFT) really derives from an Ethereum token standard that aims to provide each token a distinct identity using recognizable indicators. Tokens of this type can be connected to digital attributes to serve as their individual identifiers. Through NFTs, all pronounced parcels can be freely traded with values that are based on their times, peculiarities, liquidity, and so on. The total amount of plutocrat used on …
