Yoga and Neural Health: Enhancing Brain Function Through Postural Alignment
Abstract: Correct posture significantly influences neural function and brain health by ensuring optimal alignment of the spine and nervous system. Poor posture disrupts neural communication, impairs blood flow, and affects cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, leading to adverse effects on cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and overall brain health. This study examines the physiological connection between posture and neural health, emphasizing its impact on cognitive function, mood, and neuroplasticity. Using a mixed-methods approach, …

DRIVE-DEFENDER: A Driver Safety-oriented Alcohol and Drowsiness Detection System
Abstract: DRIVE-DEFENDER presents a pioneering approach in driver safety through the development of a real-time machine learning system for alcohol detection. The detrimental impact of alcohol-impaired driving on road safety necessitates efficient detection mechanisms. Current methodologies are often hindered by their cost, invasiveness, and reliance on specialized sensors. DRIVE-DEFENDER utilizes a camera for recording the face of the driver in real time, employing image processing techniques to identify facial landmarks. These …

Ayurvedic Management of Vatika Pakshavadha (Hemiplegia): A Case Study
Abstract: Background: Pakshavadha, described in Ayurveda under the category of Vāta Vyādhi, is a neurological disorder caused by aggravated Vāta doṣa affecting one half of the body. Clinically, it is correlated with hemiplegia or post-stroke neurological deficits, particularly following ischemic cerebrovascular accidents. Stroke remains a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, often leaving patients with residual weakness, gait disturbances, and impaired speech despite modern rehabilitation. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach …

Editorial: Advancements in Movement Analysis for Understanding Neurological Disorders
Abstract: Neurological disorders pose a significant challenge, demanding innovative approaches for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and deeper understanding. Movement analysis emerges as a powerful tool, offering a quantitative window into the complexities of motor function. This editorial delves into the transformative impact of movement analysis on neurological research and clinical practice. Traditional diagnostic methods, reliant on subjective observations, often miss subtle motor impairments, particularly in early disease stages. Movement analysis tackles …

Environmental Pollutants and Biodiversity Loss: Analyzing the Role of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Ecosystem Decline
Abstract: Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) significantly impact biodiversity, with various factors influencing their effects on species and ecosystems. Species in poor body condition, like carnivores and predators, are more vulnerable to POPs due to weakened immune systems and reduced detoxification abilities. Dietary habits also affect the accumulation of POPs, as chemicals biomagnify up the food chain. Carnivores accumulate higher concentrations, leading to reproductive failures, hormonal imbalances, and death, while herbivores face …

Recent Advancements in Nanobiocomposite-Based Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration
Abstract: Haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, remodeling, and other highly coordinated cellular and molecular activities are all part of the complex biological processes of wound healing and tissue regeneration. Following an injury, these stages cooperate to restore tissue integrity and function. However, this normal process is disturbed in many clinical circumstances, especially chronic wounds such diabetic ulcers, burns, and pressure sores. Prolonged inflammation, chronic microbial infection, diminished angiogenesis, and impaired extracellular matrix production …

Marchiafava Bignami Syndrome: A Review
Abstract: Marchiafava-Bignami syndrome (MBS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by demyelination and necrosis of the corpus callosum, which is the main bundle of nerve fibers connecting the two hemispheres of the brain. MBS primarily affects individuals with chronic alcoholism, although cases unrelated to alcohol consumption have also been reported. The corpus callosum is affected in almost a pathognomonic way. The clinical presentation is based on neurological impairment, motor abnormalities, seizures, …

Circadian Regulation of Lipid Peroxidation in the Brain: Linking Ferroptosis to Neurodegenerative Vulnerability
Abstract: The human brain operates through highly coordinated physiological and biochemical processes that regulate cognition, behavior, and neural adaptability. Central to these processes are mechanisms governing brain function, neurophysiology, and neuroplasticity, which are increasingly recognized to be influenced by circadian rhythms. Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging, and behavioral neuroscience have revealed that disruptions in circadian regulation can significantly impact oxidative balance within the brain, particularly through enhanced lipid peroxidation. Lipid …

Development of an Electric Wheelchair for the Smooth Functioning of Physically Disabled Persons
Abstract: Wheelchairs can be moved manually, with the assistance of a partner, a joystick, or both. For patients with impairments, other pushing or controlling methods aside of a wheelchair are required. People use wheelchairs as they are unable to walk because of an illness, an accident, or a handicap. 15% of people globally have a disability, according to the WHO International Report on Disability. 131.8 million people, or 1.85% of the …
