Veterinary Immunology in Zoonotic Disease Control
Abstract: Zoonotic diseases, which are transmissible between animals and humans, pose a significant threat to global public health, food security, and economic stability. Veterinary immunology plays a pivotal role in understanding host–pathogen interactions, developing preventive strategies, and mitigating the impact of these diseases. Animals serve as reservoirs for a variety of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi, which can persist asymptomatically or cause clinical disease. Understanding the immune mechanisms in both …

Analysis and Application of Mathematical Modeling in Malaria Disease Control
Abstract: In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to analyze malaria transmission dynamics, as malaria is an infectious disease caused by the spread of progenitor parasites to humans through the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. Mathematical models have long served as a framework for understanding and managing the impact of malaria, which has affected populations for over a century. Our model incorporates infected individuals who may recover and later …

A study on IoT and AI for Predictive Modeling and Control of Infectious Disease Transmission
Abstract: Background: The global response to novel and recurring infectious diseases is frequently hindered by surveillance systems that are slow, siloed, and reactive. Traditional epidemiology relies on retrospective analysis of clinical reports, often missing the critical early phase of autocatalytic spread. The urgency of modern public health necessitates a shift toward real-time, predictive intelligence. Methods: This study investigates the development and deployment of a synergistic paradigm integrating the Internet of Things …

Plant Bioactive Metabolites and Their Role in the Prevention and Control of Dental Diseases and Infections.
Abstract: The oral diseases, including dental caries and periodontitis, affect masses worldwide, and have historically been managed with synthetic antimicrobials that cause deleterious side effects, leading to mounting bacterial resistance. Consequently, contemporary dentistry is rapidly shifting toward phytomedicine using plant bioactive molecules, such as polyphenols, terpenes, anthraquinones (berberin, eugenol, curcumin, catechins, allicin, and azadirachtin. These compounds offer potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerative properties that are crucial for preventing and curing dental …

SGLT2 Inhibitors in Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease: Expanding Therapeutic Horizons beyond Glycemic Control
Abstract: Heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are closely related clinical diseases that significantly increase morbidity and death worldwide. The co-occurrence of both conditions is frequently referred to as the "cardio-renal syndrome," in which the failure of one organ hastens the decline of the other. The original purpose of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors was to treat type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) by reducing blood sugar levels. Nevertheless, new data …

Impact of Various Front-line Hypertensive medication on Blood Pressure Control During Maximum Exercise Testing in Coronary Artery Disease Patients
Abstract: It has long been known that blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular morbidity are related. It is acknowledged that blood pressure during activity may serve as a more reliable indicator than resting blood pressure, which might not accurately reflect blood pressure at other times. Goals: 1) To assess how blood pressure behaves during physical activity in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) whose hypertension is managed with first-line antihypertensive medications. 2) …
