Hepatitis B and D burden in Uzbekistan: comprehensive analysis of seroprevalence and risk correlates from a countrywide study

Abstract Background Uzbekistan faces a substantial burden of hepatitis B and D virus (HBV and HDV) infections despite implementing universal hepatitis B vaccination in 1998. Regional variation in disease distribution and contemporary transmission dynamics remain inadequately char...

The Transformation of the Microenvironment: From Observer to Coordinator in Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) to Myeloma Development

ABSTRACT Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a common asymptomatic plasma cell disorder and the major precursor state of multiple myeloma (MM). Although progression is partly shaped by intrinsic genetic and epigenetic changes within the plasma cell clone,...

Numerical Modeling of a Boundary Value Problem for a Singularly Perturbed Differential Equation with Two Boundary Layers Using the Spectral-Grid Method

This paper proposes a spectral-grid method based on Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind for the numerical solution of second-order singularly perturbed boundary value problems containing two boundary layers. The proposed method possesses several important advantages, includin...

Clean energy investment, Fintech and financial development as determinants of environmental sustainability in Asian region

This study explores the significant impact of clean energy investments and Fintech on reducing carbon emissions in selected Asian countries. By examining the relationship between clean energy investments and environmental degradation along with other variables such as economic gr...

Multivariate characterization of foliar morpho-anatomical traits supporting adaptive trends and taxonomic resolution in halophytic grasses

Leaf morphology and epidermal traits of 15 salt-tolerant grasses belonging to 10 genera from the Bahadur Khel Salt Range were examined using a microscopic technique for the first time. Eight qualitative characters (epidermal cell shape, anticlinal wall patterns, type of stomata a...

Economic freedom, energy transition, and environmental sustainability in sub-Saharan Africa: assessing the region’s load capacity factor and ecological footprint

Energy transition has been touted as a viable solution to mitigate the menace of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, this study argues that energy transition is necessary but not sufficient in the absence of inclusivity and economic freedom, which guarantees prop...

A genomic resource for a hidden endemic: the complete chloroplast genome of Allium aktauense from Uzbekistan

<ns5:p> <ns5:italic>Allium aktauense</ns5:italic> is a narrow endemic species from the Aktau Range in the Nurotau Mountains, Western Pamir-Alay, where it grows in rocky limestone crevices. Genomic resources for this species have not previously been available, limiting molecular u...
