Quality of Sleep Among Patients with Chronic Renal Failure
Abstract: Renal failure is the partial or complete impairment of kidney function. Inability to eliminate metabolic waste products and water, along with functional disruptions in all bodily systems, result in the condition known as renal failure. Renal failure can be categorized as either acute or chronic. Chronic renal failure refers to the gradual and irreversible deterioration of the nephrons in both kidneys. It is characterized by either kidney damage or a …

Smart and Circular Lakshadweep: Innovating Solid Waste Management for Sustainable Tourism Development
Abstract: Urban growth necessitates effective resource management, especially for resource-constrained island communities. This study focuses on the Lakshadweep Islands, examining the shift towards a circular economy through the perspective of solid waste management, with an emphasis on enhancing tourism and circular economy principles. The circular economy aims to eliminate waste and continually use resources by creating closed-loop systems where products, materials, and resources are reused, repaired, refurbished, and recycled. This study …

Alcohol, Circadian Glymphatic Dysfunction, and Neurodegenerative Protein Accumulation: An Emerging Concern in the Indian Context
Abstract: Alcohol consumption has long been identified as a major public health issue, yet its deeper and more subtle effects on the human brain are only now coming into sharper focus. Traditional explanations often emphasize direct neuronal damage, but emerging research in neuroscience suggests a more intricate story. Recent findings indicate that alcohol not only harms brain cells but also disrupts the body’s internal biological clock—the circadian rhythm—which plays a critical …

Phase-Specific Nutrient Requirements in Broilers: Implications for Behavior, Gut Health, Performance, Meat Quality, Welfare, and Economics
Abstract: The broiler industry plays an inevitable role in global food security, requiring optimal formulation strategies tailored to each growth phase, starter, grower, and finisher for sustainable production. This review explores phase-specific nutrient requirements and their implications for broiler performance, meat quality, welfare, and economics. During the starter phase (1–10 days), nutrition focuses on immune development, gut health, and skeletal growth, with high protein and low energy needs. In the grower …

Nutritional Status, Bioactive Properties & Therapeutic Efficacy of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Obtained by Green Synthetic Routes
Abstract: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are crucial for human health. They support structural brain development, visual acuity, and cardiovascular function, while also exhibiting potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Historically, marine fish oil has been the primary dietary source of these essential fatty acids. However, escalating concerns regarding ecological environmental impacts, the oceanic bioaccumulation of heavy metal contaminants, …

Role of Impaired Digestion in Disease Pathogenesis: According to Unani System of Medicine
Abstract: The relationship between digestion and disease occupies a central position in Greco-Arab (Unani) medicine, as emphasized by classical physicians such as Ibn Sina and Al-Razi. In Unani medicine, digestion (Haḍm) is not confined to the gastrointestinal tract alone but represents a comprehensive physiological and metabolic process involving four sequential stages: gastric digestion (Haḍm-e-Mi‘dī), hepatic digestion (Haḍm-e-Kabidī), vascular digestion (Haḍm-e-‘Urūqī), and tissue digestion (Haḍm-e-‘Uḍwī). These stages are governed by Quwwat-e-Hāḍima (digestive …

White-Rot Fungi-Based Bioprocessing for Circular Bioeconomy & Valorization of Lignocellulosic Waste
Abstract: The escalating global demand for sustainable resource management and the imperative to reduce dependence on fossil-based products have positioned the circular bioeconomy as a transformative paradigm for the 21st century. Lignocellulosic biomass, generated abundantly as agricultural and forestry residues, constitutes one of the most underexploited renewable carbon sources on Earth, yet its recalcitrant structure, interlinking cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, has long impeded its efficient valorization. White-rot fungi (WRF), predominantly belonging …

Phyto-Entrapped Carbon Dots as Emerging Nanomaterials for Anti-Cancer Activity
Abstract: Phytoconstituent-loaded carbon dots (C-dots) represent an innovative approach in targeted cancer therapy, combining the therapeutic power of plant-derived compounds with the advanced capabilities of nanotechnology. These ultra-small, biocompatible nanostructures offer excellent fluorescence, tunable surface chemistry, and low toxicity, making them ideal for drug delivery, bioimaging, and theranostic applications. Traditional phytochemicals often face challenges like poor solubility, low bioavailability, and high first-pass metabolism barriers that C-dots help overcome. C-dots synthesized through …

Impact of Specially Prepared Food on Indian Big Carp Growth in West Bengal, India’s Cooch Behar District
Abstract: This four-year longitudinal study (2008–2012) in the Cooch Behar District of West Bengal, India, utilized on-farm ponds to evaluate the comparative growth performance of Indian Major Carps (IMCs) – Catla catla, Labeo rohita, and Cirrhinus mrigala – when subjected to four distinct supplementary feed formulations: fishmeal (A), soybean meal (B), silkworm pupae (C), and mustard oilcake (D). The experimental design contrasted treated ponds receiving formulated feed against control ponds relying …

Determining the Root Causes of Complications in Hemodialysis Maintenance Therapy
Abstract: As with peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation, hemodialysis has been considered one of the most effective therapies for the replacement of kidney function. While this helps to save patients with the disease by decreasing morbidity /mortality/ rates, this medication has some side effects. These may manifest during the dialysis process alongside the ongoing treatment. Avoiding these barriers becomes crucial for improving the patients’ prognosis in this context.We are going to …
