Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates. This study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of COPD patients after implementing an algorithm within the MyTatva app.
Methods: The study involved a sample of 10 COPD patients, evaluating key parameters such as Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 s (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity, Weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), Fat-Free Mass Index, and Distance Covered during the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) before and after the algorithm's implementation in the MyTatva app.

Article Synopsis
- Atypical or nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental organisms linked to opportunistic infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients, with rapid-growing NTM commonly associated with hospital-acquired infections.
- This retrospective study analyzed 13 cases of injection abscess caused by NTM in children over six years, noting that these patients were otherwise healthy, with no chronic illnesses, and all had received standard vaccinations.
- The findings highlight the importance of suspecting NTM infections in patients not responding to treatment, emphasizing the need for strict aseptic techniques to prevent contamination in healthcare settings.
Background: The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have well-characterized effects on inflammation and oxidative stress and may have neuroprotective effects in a number of neurodegenerative conditions including AD. Brain tissue contains large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are particularly vulnerable to free radical injury.
Purpose: The present study attempts to examine protective effects of docosahexaenoic acid (100 mg/kg body weight) and on aluminum (100 mg/kg b.
