Schizophrenia (SZ) is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by disturbances in cognitive, perceptual, social, emotional, and behavioral functions. The conventional SZ diagnosis relies on subjective assessments of individuals by psychiatrists, which can result in bias, prolonged procedures, and potentially false diagnoses. This emphasizes the crucial need for early detection and treatment of SZ to provide timely support and minimize long-term impacts.

Methods: Children aged 5 to 14 years of age with clinical and/or laboratory-confirmed asthma attending the pediatric outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Eastern India between October 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024, were included in this cross-sectional study. Complete hemogram, absolute eosinophil count (AEC), IgE, and pulmonary function tests were performed in all patients.
This study proposes and analyses a revised predator-prey model that accounts for a twofold Allee impact on the rate of prey population expansion. Employing the Caputo fractional-order derivative, we account for memory impact on the suggested model. We proceed to examine the significant mathematical aspects of the suggested model, including the uniqueness, non-negativity, boundedness, and existence of solutions to the noninteger order system.

The unprecedented development of machine learning and deep learning algorithms has expedited the drug response prediction research. However, existing methods mainly focus on forward encoding of drugs, which is to obtain an accurate prediction of the response levels, but omitted to decipher the reaction mechanism between drug molecules and genes.
