The integration of phytochemistry into forensic science has emerged as a groundbreaking frontier, providing unprecedented insights into nature's secrets through the precise application of phytochemical fingerprinting of phytotoxins as a cutting-edge approach. This study explores the dynamic intersection of phytochemistry and forensic science, highlighting how the unique phytochemical profiles of toxic plants and their secondary metabolites, serve as distinctive markers for forensic investigations. By utilizing advanced techniques such as Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) and High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS), the detection and quantification of plant-derived are made more accurate in forensic contexts.

Article Synopsis
  • Malaria is common in poor areas and often shows comorbidity with other infections that cause a specific Red Blood Cell deformity called rouleaux formation, which looks like stacked coins.
  • The presence of this deformity is important for diagnosing other diseases and is reported by microscopists, especially in malaria patients.
  • To enhance malaria diagnostics, a study created a blood smear dataset featuring RBCs with rouleaux formation infected by two malaria species and utilized YOLOv9s architecture to improve detection accuracy of malaria parasites and white blood cells.
