Development of a Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Based Model Aimed at Forecasting the Prognostic Impact of C-Reactive Protein in Myocarditis
Abstract: The specific role of inflammation markers in myocarditis remains uncertain. We investigated the diagnostic and prognostic significance of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels at the initial diagnosis among myocarditis patients. Our retrospective study enrolled patients clinically suspected (CS) or biopsy-proven (BP) with myocarditis, with available CRP data at diagnosis. We collected patient information, including clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings at diagnosis and follow-up visits. We utilized machine learning methods, specifically random …

Role of Inflammatory Markers and Lipid Abnormalities in Glycemic Dysregulation Among Type 2 Diabetics
Abstract: Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by systemic inflammation and associated with various complications in multiple organs. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) specifically involves insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and inflammatory responses. This study investigates the levels of various inflammatory markers and their correlation with glycaemic control in T2DM patients. Objective: To evaluate the levels of inflammatory markers (including NLR, PLR, SII, SIRI, CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β, MCP-1, …

Importance of inflammatory marker ratio and lipid profile ratio in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Abstract: Background: Acute Ischemic Stroke is a chronic inflammatory disease that is projected to be one of the leading causes of mortality affecting millions of people globally. It is essential to study the Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ratios and C reactive protein (CRP) in impacting the inflammatory status during stroke. It is also important that altered lipid metabolism could influence the inflammatory conditions associated with AIS. Hence …

Physiological and Psychological Effects of Ekadashi Upavasa (Fasting Ritual) on Women: A Prospective cohort study on Metabolism, Immunity, and Mental Clarity
Abstract: Background: Ekadashi Upavasa, a traditional bi-monthly fasting ritual, is believed to offer physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. However, its scientific impact on metabolism, immunity, and mental clarity remains underexplored. This prospective cohort study evaluates these effects among women practicing the ritual at Krishna Temple, Amloh, over six months. Methods: A total of 800 women aged 25–50 years were recruited from Krishna Temple, Amloh, for this study, conducted from June 2024 …

Air Pollution and Immune Disorders in Women from Urban Punjab: A Clinical and Epidemiological Study
Abstract: Background: Urban Punjab, particularly cities like Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Jalandhar, experiences some of the highest air pollution levels in India due to industrial activity, vehicular emissions, and agricultural practices. Despite this, gender-specific health impacts—especially related to immune function—remain inadequately studied. Objective of the study is to investigate the relationship between air pollution exposure and immune-related disorders in women residing in urban Punjab. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 2022 to …

Defensive Mechanisms and Key Strategies with Its Specified Role in Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.)
Abstract: Silkworms (Bombyx mori L.) possess a variety of defense mechanisms that play a vital role in protecting them against microbial infections and environmental stressors. These defense systems are primarily innate, relying on cellular and humoral responses. Cellular defenses include hemocytes which are responsible for processes like phagocytosis, encapsulation, and nodule formation. Humoral responses involve the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMP’s), such as cecropins, moricins, and lysozymes, which target invading pathogens. …

Non-Enzymatic Glycation in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease: A Molecular Approach to Pathology and Recent Advances
Abstract: Non-enzymatic glycation, a biochemical process by which reducing sugars spontaneously bind to proteins, leads to the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which have emerged as critical contributors to the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). The accumulation of AGEs can significantly alter protein structure, stability, and function, triggering a cascade of detrimental effects, including increased oxidative stress, heightened neuroinflammation, and the promotion …

Investigating mosquito innate immune defence mechanism towards malaria vaccine development
Abstract: Mosquito-borne diseases weigh heavily on public health across the globe. The mosquito’s innate immune system certainly decides whether malaria parasites survive inside the vector, and that sighted it as a logical place to discover new vaccine ideas. In this review, we examine how Anopheles mosquitoes defend themselves against Plasmodium parasites and how those defenses could be turned into tools for malaria control. We focus on three layers of immunity: antimicrobial …
