Synthesis of functionalized iron oxide nanocomposites for mitigating fine migration during low salinity water flooding in clay rich sandstones

Abstract The severe permeability impairment caused by clay fine migration remains a critical challenge during low salinity water injection in sandstone reservoirs. The research synthesizes and evaluates a cationic core shell nanocomposite to electrostatically stabilize clay miner...

Youth perception and substance use: a study of misinterpretation and perceived risk among nursing students

Substance use behaviour among nursing students is another vital public health issue, which can affect students’ perception and interpretation of substance use behaviour. The level of misinterpretation and perceived risk regarding substance use behaviour can contribute to students...

Advanced biochar hybrid systems for adsorptive removal of water contaminants: Progress, mechanisms, and future directions

Abstract Contamination of aquatic systems by organic materials, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, dyes, pesticides, and emerging pollutants is a pressing problem not only for aquatic systems but also for human health. Among the various treatment technologies, adsorption is among the...

Order reduction of continuous-time interval systems using Padé-derived compact search bounds and mountain gazelle optimization

Model order reduction of interval systems is crucial for simplifying comprehension and designing reliable controllers while retaining uncertainty bounds. This study introduces a hybrid order-reduction framework that combines split-merge reformulation, Padé approximation, and the...

Efficient latent-vision enabled generative data augmented pipeline for medical image analysis with hybrid deep learning approach

Medical image analysis is an important process involved in diagnosing diseases, but a lack of data, class imbalance, and poor interpretability of deep learning models hamper it. In this study, these problems are overcome by proposing a hybrid generative data-augmented method for...

Comparative Outcome Study of Transfacetal Fixation and Lateral Mass Fixation with Laminectomy in Subaxial Cervical Degenerative Compressive Myelopathy

Abstract Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is a chronic, progressive degenerative disorder of the spine that results in gradual deterioration of motor, sensory, and autonomic functions. Degeneration is the most common cause associated with myelopathy. Surgical intervention is dicta...

NRF2‐Regulated Ferroptosis in Breast Cancer: Mechanisms, Resistance, and Therapeutic Opportunities

ABSTRACT Breast cancer remains a significant clinical challenge, particularly in triple‑negative breast cancer (TNBC), in which therapeutic resistance limits treatment efficacy. Ferroptosis, an iron‐dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has emerged...

Translation, cultural adaptation, and psychometric evaluation of the Odia version of QOL-AD: evidence from participants with dementia and caregivers

Dementia is a leading cause of disability and dependency among older adults, making quality of life (QoL) an important outcome of dementia care. However, no validated Odia version of the Quality of Life–Alzheimer’s Disease (QOL-AD) scale exists. This study aimed to translate and...

Case study of Godrej Agrovet limited: navigating gender diversity in corporate leadership

Research methodology This case was developed using secondary data sources. These included publicly accessible reports on corporate governance, annual reports, regulatory filings, media articles and industry analyses in regard to Godrej Agrovet Limited and board diversity practice...

Microwave-assisted plant-extract-mediated synthesis of S-scheme S-g-C₃N₄/ZnWO₄ nanocomposite for visible-light degradation of dye and antibiotic and antimicrobial activity

This investigation focused on the rapid microwave-assisted synthesis of an environmentally benign ZnWO 4 /S-g-C₃N₄ nanocomposite using a dry date-palm extract. The date palm extract functioned as both a reducing and stabilising agent, while microwave irradiation facilitated effic...

Comparative genomics reveals genotype-phenotype concordance and cryptic resistomes in clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major pathogen because of its adaptability. It shows rapid evolution of multidrug resistance (MDR). Phenotype-based diagnostics often fail to detect silent resistance determinants and early adaptive changes. This stu...

Effects of dietary thymol–formic acid blend on production metrics, carcass characteristics and meat quality in turkeys

With increasing consumer demand for safe and high-quality animal protein, poultry producers are shifting towards alternative species such as turkeys to complement the chicken production and diversify the protein source. Organic acids and essential oils have been widely evaluated...

ZIF-67-derived NiCo2O4/ZIF-8 heterostructure for enhanced solar photocatalytic degradation of Reactive Blue-222

Reactive Blue-222 (RB-222) is resistant to biodegradation because of its complex molecular structure and high chemical stability, so conventional wastewater treatment is largely ineffective at removing it. In this study, a NiCo 2 O 4 /ZIF-8 nanocomposite was fabricated via a ZIF-...

Dual primary malignancies are no longer a rarity: A single centre experience from eastern India

Objectives: Advancements in cancer therapies have improved long-term survival rates, contributing to an increased incidence of second primary malignancies. This study aims to describe the clinical characteristics, tumour profiles, and treatment patterns of patients diagnosed with...

Parasitic Masquerader: Hepatic Larva Migrans Presenting as Microabscess-Like Lesions

Abstract Hepatic visceral larva migrans (VLM) is an uncommon zoonosis that develops when second-stage nematode larvae migrate from the gut into solid viscera. It is most commonly caused by Toxocara species, the ascarid of dogs and cats. Clinically, it presents as an infective/inf...

Molecular screening of extended-spectrum β-lactamase and carbapenemase resistance genes in hospital wastewater from Eastern Odisha: Predominance of extended-spectrum β-lactamase determinants and absence of blaNDM and blaKPC

Objectives: The objective of the study is to determine the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and characterize major ESBL and carbapenemase resistance genes in HWW from Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. Materials and Methods: Wastewater samples were collected quarterly from si...

Biochar amendments as a regenerative agriculture strategy for soil health restoration and sustainable millet production

Millet crops are primarily grown in marginal, nutrient-deficient, and increasingly arid regions, where declining soil health significantly limits productivity. Biochar is a carbon-rich byproduct of biomass pyrolysis that is being researched as a promising soil amendment to improv...

SNAKE optimised deep neural networks for Parkinson’s disease detection using multimodal handwriting as a digital biomarker

Early identification of Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains a major clinical challenge, largely due to the lack of definitive biological biomarkers and the continued dependence on subjective neurological evaluations. Subtle motor abnormalities often manifest in handwriting behaviour...
