Advances In HIV Research: Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, And Emerging Therapeutic Strategies
Abstract: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a critical global health concern, infecting millions of individuals each year. The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has markedly improved disease outcomes by suppressing viral replication, restoring immune function, and extending patient longevity. Despite these advances, the complete eradication of HIV is hindered by the persistence of viral reservoirs, the emergence of drug-resistant strains, and disparities in healthcare accessibility. This review summarizes key developments in …

Rodents and Zoonotic Diseases: Environmental Drivers and Prevention Measures
Abstract: Among the most ubiquitous animal species, rats spread several human diseases. Found in cities, rural areas, and everywhere in between, rats have adapted remarkably well to living alongside people. Unfortunately, this close contact makes it easier for them to carry and pass on harmful germs. Their biology, fast breeding, and ability to host various bacteria, viruses, and parasites often without getting sick themselves make them especially effective at spreading disease.This …

Air Pollution and Immune Disorders in Women from Urban Punjab: A Clinical and Epidemiological Study
Abstract: Background: Urban Punjab, particularly cities like Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Jalandhar, experiences some of the highest air pollution levels in India due to industrial activity, vehicular emissions, and agricultural practices. Despite this, gender-specific health impacts—especially related to immune function—remain inadequately studied. Objective of the study is to investigate the relationship between air pollution exposure and immune-related disorders in women residing in urban Punjab. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 2022 to …
