Global Perspectives on Returning Genetic Research Results in Parkinson Disease.

Background And Objectives: In the era of precision medicine, genetic test results have become increasingly relevant in the care of patients with Parkinson disease (PD). While large research consortia are performing widespread research genetic testing to accelerate discoveries, debate continues about whether, and to what extent, the results should be returned to patients. Ethically, it is imperative to keep participants informed, especially when findings are potentially actionable.

Patriarchy, Fertility and Excess Female Child Mortality in India.

Research investigating association between patriarchy and demographic behavior is limited in India. The only study on this subject utilized 1981 Indian Census data to examine associations between patriarchy and fertility. We examined the association of patriarchy, measured using India Patriarchy Index (IPI), with total fertility rate (TFR) and excess female child mortality in India.

Emergence of ADM-mediated bioconjugate to enhance longevity and catalytic efficiency of urease.

The versatile nature of the urease enzyme makes it a valuable asset in biological and industrial contexts. The creation of bioconjugates using enzyme-polymer combinations has extended the shelf life and stability of urease. A triblock copolymer, PAM-co-PDPA-co-PMAA@urease (ADM@urease), was synthesized using acrylamide (AM), 2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-ylacrylate (DPA), methacrylic acid (MAA), and urease via the RAFT-Grafting-To polymerization method.

Exploring the Intricate Connection Between Vitamin B12 Deficiency and Hearing Loss: A Systematic Literature Review.

Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient crucial for overall health, and deficiencies can lead to hearing loss. The aim of the systematic review was to explore the intricate connection between vitamin B12 deficiency and hearing loss using a systematic literature review. A systematic literature search was carried out to identify the articles exploring the connection between vitamin B12 deficiency and hearing loss.
