Assessing the Increasing Incidence of Prostate Cancer in Urban Delhi: Risk Factors, Early Detection, and Treatment Challenges
Abstract: Background: Prostate cancer has emerged as the second most prevalent cancer among men in India, with rapidly increasing incidence rates in urban areas like Delhi. This rise is attributed to urbanization, lifestyle changes (high-fat diets, tobacco use, sedentary behavior), increased life expectancy, and improved diagnostics. Despite its growing burden, low awareness, limited screening programs, and treatment barriers hinder early detection and effective management. This study examines the epidemiological trends, risk …

CRISPR, Recombinant DNA, and LAMP-Based Platforms for Monkeypox: Emerging Tools for Diagnosis and Therapeutic Development
Abstract: Monkeypox, a zoonotic viral infection caused by the Monkeypox virus of the Orthopoxvirus genus, has recurred as a worldwide public health concern after recent outbreaks outside of its classical endemic areas in Central and West Africa. The resurgence has demanded a thorough reassessment of its epidemiology, mode of transmission, and clinical presentation. In light of these challenges, recombinant DNA technology (rDNA) has emerged as a candidate for developing vaccines, diagnostics, …

Human Papilloma Virus-mediated Carcinoma of Cervix
Abstract: Cervical cancer is a major global health problem, with more than 500,000 new cases being reported each year and an estimated 275,000 women dying from it annually. One of the important causes of this cancer is human papilloma virus (HPV). Of the several types of HPV, type 16 and 18 are considered to be the main types that mediate the development of cervix carcinoma. The high-risk types cause not only …

Mid-Year Epidemiological Profile of COVID-19 Posi ve Cases in Rajasthan, India
Abstract: Background: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has posed persistent public health challenges globally since its emergence in late 2019. India, through enhanced surveillance and vaccina on, has seen a progressive decline in case burden. Despite improvements, localized surges and emerging variants necessitate con nuous monitoring. Rajasthan, with its urban-rural health dispari es, experienced a modest resurgence of cases in early 2025, raising concerns about exis ng immunity gaps and health system …

DRUG INDUCED IMMUNE MEDIATED NEPHRITIS: MOLECULAR MECHANISM , PATHWAYS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
Abstract: Drug-induced immune-mediated nephritis (DI-IMN) has become a more widely known cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), with the potential for development to chronic kidney disease if not detected and treated promptly. T-cell hypersensitivity to pharmaceuticals, such as antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and immunological drugs, are the major causes for it. Beyond clinical burden, DI-IMN reflectsintricate molecular interactions that sustain interstitial inflammation and tubular injury. These interactions include …

Monkeypox Virus (MPXV): Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Control Strategies: Exploring the Recent Resurgence of Monkeypox, Its Transmission Dynamics, Clinical Manifestations, and Public Health Responses
Abstract: Monkeypox virus (MPXV) has re-emerged as a significant public health concern, with increasing cases reported worldwide. This zoonotic virus, primarily endemic to Central and West Africa, has demonstrated the potential for human-to-human transmission, leading to outbreaks in non-endemic regions. Unlike smallpox, which was eradicated through mass vaccination, monkeypox continues to persist due to the lack of widespread immunity and effective antiviral treatments. The resurgence of MPXV in recent years, particularly …

Paternal Pre-Pubertal Smoking: Small RNAs, Lasting Marks, and the Hidden Legacy of Early Exposure
Abstract: While the negative effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy are well-established, the lasting and transgenerational impact of paternal pre-pubertal smoking remains a critical, underexplored area. Emerging evidence in sperm epigenetics suggests that cigarette exposure during early male development may create persistent molecular imprints that can affect the health of future offspring. This phenomenon is rooted in the fact that heredity extends beyond the DNA sequence. Sperm carry a complex epigenetic …

Measles Eradication by Vaccination: Opportunities and Challenges
Abstract: Measles is one of the vaccine preventable viral diseases that mainly occur in children. The disease was targeted for elimination by a vaccination program that was initiated three decades back. The measles death rate decreased by 74% from the year 2000 to 2010. This was short of targeted 90% mainly because of low vaccine coverage in some countries. Although, there is marked reduction in measles morbidity and mortality, still it …
