Mathematical Modeling of Epidemics Using Stochastic Differential Equations: A Review
Abstract: The accurate modeling of infectious disease dynamics is crucial for predicting outbreaks and informing public health interventions. While deterministic models such as the SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) framework have traditionally been used to understand disease transmission, they often fail to account for the randomness inherent in real-world scenarios. Disease spread is influenced by numerous uncertain factors, including individual behavioral changes, environmental fluctuations, and imperfect data reporting. These uncertainties can significantly impact model …

Role of Human Neutrophils in Inflammation and its Modulation by Ixora coccinea
Abstract: Neutrophils are one of the key cells that actively participate in the innate immune reactions. Sequences of event of pathogen elimination by neutrophils are initiated with the activation of resting neutrophils. Pathogen is then eliminated by oxygen-dependent killing mechanism or oxygen-independent killing mechanism. This process includes margination, diapedesis, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and degranulation of neutrophils. Although, these mechanisms of the neutrophils are targeted to eliminate the pathogens and protect the body, …
