Objective: This review aims to estimate the prevalence and incidence of zoonotic diseases from studies of populations from South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka).
Introduction: South Asia is of notable importance in terms of the prevalence and incidence of endemic zoonoses, as well as its role as a focal point for emerging zoonotic diseases.
Inclusion Criteria: All populations residing in the 8 South Asian countries, irrespective of age/gender, will be considered.
Understanding the interplay between the molecular structure and material properties of emerging p-type organic semiconductors marks a significant stride in the advancement of molecular electronics. Among the array of promising materials, mechanically flexible single crystals of π-conjugated molecules stand out due to their potential for cutting-edge applications in organic electronics. Notably, derivatives of pyrazinoquinoxaline (PQ) are recognized as versatile building blocks for constructing π-conjugated systems, showcasing good semiconductor performance in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs).

- * The study focuses on a porous single-atom catalyst (pCo-NC) made of a cobalt atom coordinated with nitrogen in a graphene structure, showing ORR activity comparable to traditional catalysts like Pt/C.
- * The catalyst's performance varies significantly in acidic (HClO) versus alkaline (KOH) environments, with the differences linked to protonation effects and electron transfer limitations at the electrode interface, and results are validated through advanced simulation methods.
Antigenic inefficacy to induce robust immune responses and durable memory are major causes of constantly failing prophylactic approaches in leishmaniasis. Here, we determine the potential of a standardized whole-killed Leishmania vaccine (Leishvacc) adjuvanted with anti-CD200 and anti-CD300a antibodies, either alone or with monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL-SE) emulsified in squalene oil, in restoring the compromised antigen presenting abilities of dendritic cells (DCs), effector properties of CD4T cells and providing protection against Leishmania donovani parasites. In animals vaccinated with antibodies adjuvanted vaccines, either alone or with MPL-SE, the antigen presenting abilities of CD11c DCs against Leishmania antigens, measured in terms of CD80, CD86, MHC-I, and MHC-II surface receptors and intracellular IL-12 were found enhanced than non-adjuvanted vaccine.

- * Four implant models were tested: cannulated screws, Femoral Neck System, Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS), and Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS), analyzing factors like stress, strain, and micromotion during normal activities.
- * DHS with an anti-rotational screw was found to be the most effective for Pauwels I and III fractures, while DCS with an anti-rotational screw was better for Pauwels II fractures.
