Background: Efforts to minimise inequity in palliative and end-of-life care (PEoLC) are well-researched. This is frequently explained by differences related to singular factors. The concept of intersectionality recognises that the combination of variables exacerbates disparities.

Physicians must consider leprosy as a differential for rheumatoid arthritis, especially in endemic regions. Early detection is vital to prevent chronic neuropathy, disabilities, and disfigurement.

This study demonstrates that the Patiala population exhibits homozygous resistance variations across populations, contrasting with the susceptibility observed in laboratory cultures. Our assessment of mitochondrial DLD and Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activities showed significantly elevated levels in the Patiala population, with increases of approximately sevenfold for DLD and 6.

Understanding its reproductive biology, particularly the role of ejaculatory bulb proteins (EBPs) in mating, is crucial. However, EBPs in B.

Methods: Seven field populations of were compared with Lab- susceptible population for their resistance to phosphine.
