Platelets A Tiny Cell Fragments
Abstract: Platelets are disc-shaped, anucleate cells that are approximately 2-3 μm in diameter. Their primary function is to control hemostasis, or blood clotting, but they also play important roles in angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and innate immunity (the body's first line of defence against infection). With a diameter of just 2-3 microns, platelets are tiny, disc-shaped cells that lack a nucleus. While their main responsibility is to ensure …

Amlodipine induced peripheral edema and gingivitis – A case report.
Abstract: Calcium channel a group of drugs used to treat heart disorders are called blockers. These drugs dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow to heart, these works by preventing calcium flow through ion -specific (L- type) calcium channels in the cell membrane. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker in the dihydropyridine class, can cause peripheral edema and drug-induced gingivitis in some patients. In this case, the patient experienced swelling in the …

Mandible reconstruction following resection of gingival squamous cell carcinoma with peroneal artery perforator based fibular osteocutaneous free flap
Abstract: Reconstructing soft tissue defect resulting from resection of malignant tumor in face is crucial in esthetic and functional point of view. To address this condition, various surgical flaps are used, including the free vascularized osteocutaneous flap. In this case, we used a free fibular osteocutaneous flap to reconstruct both the bone (osseous) and soft tissue (mucosal) defects. These defects were caused by the removal (resection) of a lesion in a …

Renin-Angiotensin System as a Therapeutic Target for Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis
Abstract: Classically, renin-angiotensin system (RAS), for a long time, has been perceived as the main regulator of cardiovascular homeostasis, due to its effect on blood vessels contraction or cardiac hypertrophy and is known to maintain blood pressure and body fluids. Hence, its pharmacological regulation is mainly associated with the management of hypertension. Currently, it was found that the RAS is involved in a broad range of physiological processes and diseases. RAS …

The Present Study was Conducted to Assess Knowledge and Practice of Pain Assessment and Management among CHD Patients and also to Develop a Structure Pain Assessment Proforma for Patients Admitted in the Cardiology Unit of a Selected Hospital, Ludhiana, Punjab
Abstract: AbstractHeart is considered key to the lock of life which gives sustenance to the body—physically as wellas emotionally.Mortality rate of CHD is held responsible for more deaths. Coronary artery disease (CAD) develops when major blood vessels that supply heart become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaques) in coronary arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease. The coronary arteries supply blood, oxygen and nutrients to heart. Coronary …

Insulin : Comprehensive review on its Crucial Role in Metabolism and Disease Management
Abstract: Insulin's pivotal function lies in meticulously regulating blood sugar levels, thus guaranteeing cells access to the necessary energy for optimal functionality. When there is a rise in blood sugar, after a meal, the releases insulin gets released from the pancreas to facilitate the uptake of glucose by cells. Insulin primarily acts on muscle, fat, and liver cells, promoting the uptake of glucose from the blood. Another way to store glucose …

Unani and Conventional Perspective of Hypertension (Ḍaghṭ al-Dam Qawī )
Abstract: Hypertension is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. According to estimates, the risk of cardiovascular disorders such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, renal failure, and peripheral arterial disease rises by at least a factor of two. In the Unani system of medicine, there is a clinical condition that resembles hypertension, known as "Imtila'." The buildup of bodily fluids, particularly in the blood vessels, …

In silico analysis of Abrus precatorius L. as a potential agonist of PPARγ : A novel approach to the treatment of diabetes
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder that is characterized by a lack of insulin secretion by the pancreas or a defect in insulin action, or both. If diabetes is not controlled, over time it can cause damage to blood vessels and nerves, leading to life-threatening complications such as, kidney damage, heart disease and vision impairment. It can also weaken the immune system, making patients more prone to infection. Although treatments …

A summary continuation analysis evaluating the prevalence and predictors of diabetic retinopathy in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.
Abstract: Context: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the leading cause of acquired blindness in adults, affects approximately 93 million people globally. It is a serious complication of type 2 diabetes, resulting from prolonged damage to the blood vessels in the retina. Although largely preventable and treatable, DR continues to be the main cause of vision loss among working-age adults and significantly impacts quality of life. While most studies on DR in Nepal have …

Image Preprocessing and Analysis on Eye Fundus Images Segmentation by Using Density Clustering Methods
Abstract: In order to do an automated evaluation of various retinal illnesses such as Diabetic retinopathy, Glaucoma, and Macular Edema, fundus images must be pre-processed first. For many reasons, it's difficult to accurately detect the optic disc. Many blood vessels cross the optic disc, making it difficult to discern the disc's boundaries in fundus images. Lesion regions in diabetic retinopathy look very much like an optic disc's colour and texture, so …
