Sustainable assessment of analytical techniques in COVID-19 pharmacotherapy: A greenness perspective

The rapid development of analytical methods during the COVID-19 pandemic has pointed to the importance of chromatographic and mass spectrometric systems for drug quantification. In this review, the ecological sustainability of HPLC, UHPLC, LC-MS and LC-MS/MS workflows is critical...

Co-occurrence of polysubstance use among drug-dependent indigenous youth in the Himalayan region

Polysubstance use is a major public health issue among marginalized Indigenous youths in Northeast India. Ukhrul District, Manipur, is a remote tribal area where the drug dependence burden is high and district-level epidemiological data remain scarce. A cross-sectional, quantitat...

Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Community Eye Screening in Primary Healthcare: A Prospective Multicentre Diagnostic Accuracy and Implementation Study

Background Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted retinal screening may extend access to eye care in primary healthcare, but prospective evidence on diagnostic performance and implementation under routine community conditions remains limited. Methods We conducted a prospective mul...

Tele-Optometry and Mobile Eye Care Units: A Rural Vision Care Model for India

India accounts for about 20% of the world’s visually impaired population. Rural and underserved populations are disproportionately affected by avoidable causes of blindness such as uncorrected refractive errors, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. Traditional facility-...

Geometric and wave optics analysis of BTZ-like charged wormholes with disclinations

We study the geometric and wave-optical properties of a charged BTZ wormhole (BTZCWH) spacetime carrying disclinations. The metric function \(f(r)=1-b_0/r-\mathcal {Q}^2 r^2/4\) has two positive zeros, an inner throat \(r_0\) and an outer zero \(r_*\) ; the static Lorentzian desc...

DASTNet-X: an explainable dual-attention based spatio-temporal network for arrhythmia classification

Deep learning (DL) models have demonstrated strong performance in electrocardiography (ECG) arrhythmia classification. However, the criteria and processes for selecting ECG samples for analysis are often unclear. This lack of transparency, together with the challenge of interpret...

A Bioactive Fraction of Euphorbia antiquorum Stem Powder Ameliorates High‐Fat High‐Fructose Diet/Streptozotocin‐Induced Diabetes via GLUT‐4 Modulation

Euphorbia antiquorum L. (Euphorbiaceae), a traditionally used Asian medicinal plant, was systematically evaluated for its antidiabetic efficacy through a bioactivity-guided approach integrating in vitro, in vivo, and in silico studies. Among the four solvent fractions of the etha...
