Exploring the potential of Carica Papaya Leaf Extract: a perspective on its effectiveness in ameliorating thrombocytopenia in dengue patients.

Background: Dengue fever (DF) is endemic in Pakistan, posing health risks. Recent flooding in 2022 and strong monsoon rains in 2024 have increased the possibility of an epidemic. It is an infectious disease having potentially severe outcomes including thrombocytopenia.

Platelet indices in preeclampsia: comparative analysis with normotensive pregnant women.

Background: To compare plateletcount (PC), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW)between women with preeclampsia (PE) and normotensive pregnant women, andevaluate their effectiveness as predictors of PE.

Research Design Andmethods: This cross-sectionalstudy at Nishtar Hospital, Multan, included 141 women: 74 normotensive and 67preeclamptic. Data was collected using an automated hematology analyzer andanalyzed with SPSS version 26 and ROC curves.

Effect of Ideal Amino Acid Ratio of Arginine to Lysine on Intake, Nutrient Digestibility, Growth Performance, Antibody Titers of Newcastle Disease and Infectious Bronchitis Disease, and Carcass Characteristics of Broilers.

This study aimed to assess the effects of different arginine (Arg) to lysine (Lys) ratios on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, growth performance, carcass characteristics, and antibody titers of Newcastle disease (ND) and infectious bronchitis (IB) disease in broilers during 35 days of trial. For this purpose, a total of 816 day-old broiler birds having an average weight of 38 ± 3 g were divided into six dietary treatments in such a way that each treatment had eight replicates and each replicate had 17 birds. The treatments were 0.

A Comprehensive Review of Niobium Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization, Applications in Health Sciences, and Future Challenges.

Niobium nanoparticles (NbNPs) have gained attention as promising materials in biomedical applications due to their exceptional biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and versatility. These nanoparticles offer potential in drug delivery, imaging, and tissue engineering, where their nanoscale properties allow precise interactions with biological systems. Among niobium-based nanomaterials, niobium pentoxide (NbO) is the most extensively studied due to its chemical stability, bioactivity, and optical properties.

Xylooligosaccharides: A comprehensive review of production, purification, characterization, and quantification.

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), short-chain polymers with prebiotic properties, have gained significant commercial attention over the past few decades due to their potential as nutraceutical components. Derived from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB), XOS serve as health promoting compounds with applications across multiple sectors, including food pharmaceutical and cosmetic. This comprehensive review provides an overview of XOS production, purification, characterization, and quantification, highlighting their derivation from various sources such as agricultural waste, agro-economical forest residues, and nutrient-dense energy crops.
