Nutrient–Xenobiotic Crosstalk in Dairy Cattle: Implications for Metabolism, Immunity, Health, and Productivity in Resilient Dairy Development
Abstract: Dairy cattle are routinely exposed to a wide range of xenobiotics, including mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, residues from veterinary drugs, and plant secondary metabolites, through feed, water, and environmental sources. These xenobiotics, being foreign to biological systems, can interfere with the absorption, metabolism, and utilization of essential nutrients, while also compromising immune function, organ health, and overall physiological performance. Chronic or subclinical exposure can reduce feed efficiency, disrupt energy and …

Driving Determinants Influencing Mortality of Goats in the Tropics: Challenges for Sustainable Livestock Development
Abstract: Goat mortality in the tropics is driven by multifactorial determinants that pose critical challenges to sustainable livestock development. Key contributors include infectious diseases, such as peste des petits ruminants, goat pox, enterotoxemia, and haemonchosis, which remain prevalent due to limited vaccination coverage and inadequate biosecurity measures. Bacterial infections, like pneumonia and caseous lymphadenitis, along with parasitic infestations, such as coccidiosis and liver fluke, significantly reduce goat survival rates, especially in …

Cervical Cancer: Understanding Its Causes, Risk Factors, and Preventive Measures
Abstract: Cervical cancer is a form of cancer that begins in the cervix, the lower portion of the uterus, due to abnormal cell growth that can spread or invade other areas of the body. In its early stages, cervical cancer usually shows no obvious symptoms, which is why regular screenings are essential for detecting it early. As the cancer advances, symptoms such as pelvic pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, and pain during …

Rethinking Stocking Density in Broilers: Assessments of Physiological, Behavioral, and Environmental Impacts
Abstract: High stocking density in broiler production is a common practice aimed at maximizing space utilization and economic returns. However, it poses significant challenges to the performance, health, and welfare of the birds. This study explores the multifaceted impacts of elevated stocking density on broiler chickens, highlighting the physiological, behavioral, and environmental factors that deteriorate their overall well-being. Increased stocking density is associated with reduced growth rates, poor feed conversion efficiency, …

Ayurvedic management of Recurrent Pneumonia in child – A single case study
Abstract: The general term “pneumonia” describes lung infections that result in air sac inflammation. Pneumonia is most frequently caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, etc. In children, Streptococcus pneumoniae is mainly responsible for bacterial pneumonia. When someone coughs or sneezes, they release airborne droplets that can infect the lungs of children and spread pneumonia. The pneumonia-causing bacteria and viruses that are commonly found in a child's throat or nose can spread …

Updated Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Guidelines for COVID-19 Patients
Abstract: AbstractCOVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2), has claimed many lives world over. Managing COVID-19 pandemic has become very challenging for the health care workers (HCW) due to the absence of definitive treatment for the disease. Around 5–6% of cases of COVID-19 become critically ill and require intensive monitoring, advanced life support, respiratory support and treatment modalities like ECMO and Plasma therapy, etc. Older people with comorbidities …

Isolation of Micro-flora from Different Furniture Used In Hospital Set-Up
Abstract: Hospital-acquired infections are a major cause of worry for all hospitals worldwide and add to the problems of an already sick patient and also the personnel working. Hospitals are known to be high infection zones owing to the presence of large number of patients having some or other infectious etiologies or proneness to infection due to their immune-compromised state. Several studies have been done to evaluate the impact of these …

A Study on the Prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on Mobile Phone Devices
Abstract: Mobile phone devices are indispensable accessories in social life used for communication. The users normally do not clean their cell phones which, therefore, serve as a reservoir of potential pathogenic bacteria. The devices are the vehicles of pathogen transmission in both health and non-healthcare settings. The presence of multiple drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus is very important as it can cause both hospital- and community-acquired infections. The present study is …

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Its Different Testing Methods: A Review
Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus, a gram-positive bacterium is a serious current health care concern. In the mid-1980s, S. aureus strains emerged that were resistant to the beta-lactamase-stable penicillin, these strains were termed methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Methicillin resistance in S. aureus is primarily mediated by the mecA gene, which codes for the modified penicillin-binding protein 2a. MRSA strain has become one of the well-known etiologic agents for a wide variety of …

Design of Novel Antiviral agents against Japanese Encephalitis virus NS3Helicase/NTPase Computational approach
Abstract: Pathogenic protozoa are commonly transmitted to food in developing countries, but food-borne outbreaks of infection are relatively rare in developed countries. The main protozoa of concern in developed countries are Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidium and Giardia, and these can be a problem in immune-compromised people. Other protozoa such as Entamoeba histolytica, Cyclosporacayetanensis and Sarcocystis can be a food-borne problem in non-industrialised countries. C. cayetanensis has emerged as a food-borne pathogen in foods …

Reproductive Challenges in Tropical Dairy Cows: Exploring Stressors and Mitigation Strategies for Sustainable Development
Abstract: Reproductive efficiency in tropical dairy cows is often compromised by a range of environmental, nutritional, and management-related stressors. These stressors, including heat, humidity, poor-quality feed, disease, and parasitic infestations, significantly affect fertility, leading to prolonged calving intervals, reduced conception rates, and increased reproductive disorders. Heat stress, in particular, has been identified as a primary factor influencing reproductive performance by disrupting hormonal balance, reducing feed intake, and impairing overall cow health. …
