CLINICAL APPROACHING OF PEDIATRIC EPILEPSY MANAGEMENT

Seizures are characterized as brief episodes of symptoms brought on by the abnormal, excessive, or synchronous brain neuronal activity that is marked by sudden and involuntary movement of the skeletal muscles. Early detection, therapy, and specialized medical assistance must be c...

MATERNAL BELIEFS AND PERCEPTIONS ABOUT NEONATAL JAUNDICE IN MOSUL, NORTH OF IRAQ

Neonatal jaundice (NNJ) is a highly prevalent condition worldwide and remains a major contributor to neonatal morbidity and hospital readmissions when not recognized and managed promptly. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Mosul City to assess maternal knowle...

Reconstructed baryon transition current structure (N(1440) Roper radial excitation): Insights from Patterson function analysis

This study employs the Patterson function to reconstruct the transition current density of the N(1440) Roper radial excitation. The analysis reveals a sharply localized positive core with a half‑maximum radius of 0.0349 fm, surrounded by a softer negative shell. These features hi...

STRESS PHYSIOLOGY AND DOSHA IMBALANCE: BRIDGING AYURVEDA AND MODERN PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY

Background: Stress is a multifaceted physiological and psychological response that occurs when an individual encounters internal or external challenges threatening homeostasis. While acute stress serves an adaptive function, chronic stress can lead to dysregulation of the nervous...

FORMAULATION AND EVALUATION OF ANTI DANDRUFF HAIR GEL

Itching, flaking and irritation of the scalp are the hallmarks of dandruff, a common scalp condition. Microbial imbalance, fungal infection, and other environmental factors are the primary causes. The creation and assessment of a topical anti-dandruff gel with avocado oil and ket...

Technology Focus: Subsea Systems (August 2026)

_ The selected papers for this year’s feature collectively illustrate a clear industry transition toward subsea-centric architectures that decouple production performance from topside constraints, combining processing, boosting, and simplified system designs adapted to specific f...

The "Hard Problem of Consciousness" is a Choice: The Universal Principle of Collapse (UPC)

The “Hard Problem of Consciousness,” articulated by David Chalmers, asks how physical brain processes give rise to subjective experience. This paper demonstrates that the problem is not an intrinsic physical mystery, but a self-inflicted category error produced by inverting the o...

Study of Sustainable Gas Exploitation Reveals Benefits of CO2 Fracturing

_ This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper URTeC 4213943, “Benefits of CO2 Fracturing: Analysis for Sustainable Shale Gas Exploitation in Mexico,” by Carlos Felipe Silva-Escalante, SPE, National Autonomous University of Mexico (...

PREVALENCE OF ABNORMAL PAP SMEAR AMONG SAMPLE OF IRAQI WOMEN ATTENDING AL-BATOOL TEACHING HOSPITAL IN MOSUL

Background: The Papanicolaou (Pap) smear, introduced by Georgios Papanikolaou in the 1940s, remains a widely used method for detecting precancerous and cancerous changes of the uterine cervix, particularly in settings without organized screening programs. However, its sensitivity...

Use of neurolytic nerve blocks and mortality in nonoperative management of hip fracture patients

Aims: Nonoperative management may be suitable for very frail hip fracture patients; in these instances, neurolytic nerve blocks with phenol could act as a long-term analgesic, with potentially fewer disadvantages compared with systemic analgesia. While neurolytic nerve blocks are...

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TOPICAL HYDROGEL CONTAINING COMBINE DRUGS (COMPARATIVE STUDY) FOR TOPICAL DELIVERY

The present study aimed to prepare and comparatively evaluate topical hydrogels containing salicylic acid, aloin, and their combination for topical drug delivery. Three hydrogel formulations were prepared using Carbopol 940 and characterized for physicochemical properties, drug c...

Case Study: An Industry-First Comprehensive Perforation-Testing Program To Evaluate Perforation-Charge Performance Across Multiple Tubulars

_ Perforation tunnel geometry is critical to well deliverability. While downhole performance is traditionally predicted using commercial simulators based on API RP 19B Section I, the industry is increasingly adopting Section II testing data for more-reliable simulation output. Hi...

FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT AND IN-VITRO EVALUATION OF HERBAL BUCCAL SPRAY HAVING ANTI-DIABETIC ACTIVITY

Gymnema sylvestre is a traditional medicinal plant belonging to family Asclepiadaceae. Mainly leaves of Gymnema sylvestre have been used for the treatment of madhu meha or “honey urine” for more than 2,000 years in India. Recently novel dosage forms have gained significant popula...

Comparative Effects of Protein Glutaminase and Transglutaminase on Fermentation-Induced Gelation of Pea, Faba Bean, and Soy Protein Isolates

Abstract Pea, faba bean, and soy protein isolates (PPI, FPI, SPI) are increasingly used as primary ingredients for developing plant-based gels for cheese and meat analogues. A major challenge is their limited functionality, including low solubility, poor emulsifying capacity, and...

The Ulusoy-Gemini Hypothesis: Emergent Spacetime and Entropic Time from Closed Phase Decoherence

AbstractWe propose a novel unifying framework—the Ulusoy-Gemini Hypothesis—that bridgesquantum mechanics and general relativity by treating spacetime curvature and the thermo-dynamic arrow of time as emergent properties rather than fundamental background dimen-sions. In this mode...

The Rise of Robotics in Oil and Gas

_ The upstream oil and gas sector has entered a new phase of automation. The robots are here, and they’re here to stay. While the industry’s digital transformation has centered mostly on supervisory control and data acquisition, distributed control systems, and predictive analyti...

Entrepreneurs' work-family relationships: a bibliometric systematic literature review

Purpose This study uses a bibliometric systematic literature review (B-SLR) method to develop a comprehensive assessment of the literature on entrepreneurs' work-family relationships. It explores the intellectual structure, current trends, evolutionary trajectory and future resea...

Measuring Reverse-Specification Quality Without Ground Truth: A Three-Layer Framework and a Pre-Registered Study of Scale-Induced Failure Modes in Autonomous Coding Agents

Tool-using LLM coding agents can reverse-generate specifications from source, but the quality of those specifications is hard to assess when no reference specification exists. We present a ground-truth-free, deterministic-first framework that measures three layers - inventory cov...
