Article Synopsis
  • - Chronic liver disease (CLD) is becoming more common and presents challenges for pregnant patients, leading to significant risks for both mothers and babies
  • This study aimed to examine the pregnancy outcomes for women with CLD and understand how maternal CLD affects these outcomes
  • A total of 91 pregnant women with CLD were analyzed, revealing complications such as preterm labor, cesarean deliveries, low birth weights, and higher rates of intrauterine deaths. *

Energy storage is a way of storing energy to reduce imbalances between demand and energy production. The ability to store electricity and use it later is one of the keys to reaching large quantities of renewable energy on the grid. There are several methods to store energy such as mechanical, electrical, chemical, electrochemical, and thermal energy.

Background and aim For years, interferon-based treatment has been offered to patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; however, the complexity of the treatment, efficacy, and adverse effects were the primary concerns. All these concerns were addressed with the introduction of directly acting antivirals (DAAs) to treat chronic HCV. Sofosbuvir and velpatasvir are second-generation DAAs used in combination for the treatment of chronic HCV infection.

In our lives, we cannot avoid the uncertainty. Randomness, rough knowledge, and vagueness lead us to uncertainty. In mathematics, the fuzzy set (FS) theory and logics are used to model uncertain events.

The paper aims to present the concept of power aggregation operators for the T-spherical fuzzy sets (T-SFSs). T-SFS is a powerful concept, with four membership functions denoting membership, abstinence, non-membership and refusal degree, to deal with the uncertain information as compared to other existing fuzzy sets. On the other hand, the relationship between the different pairs of the attributes are well recorded in terms of power operators.

Background And Objective: As we all know, mathematical models provide very important information for the study of the human immunodeficiency virus type. Mathematical model of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection with contact rate represented by Crowley-Martin function response is taken into account. The aims of this novel study is to checkthe local and global stability of the disease and also prevent the outbreak from the community.

Article Synopsis
  • Plant-derived natural products, like those from Sarcococca saligna, are becoming important in drug discovery for treating various diseases, including cancer.
  • This study focused on isolating specific phytochemical constituents (such as Alkaloid-C and Saracodine) and testing their anticancer effects by examining their inhibition of the aromatase enzyme, which is relevant in breast cancer.
  • The findings indicated that while the compounds showed some activity in inhibiting aromatase, their bulky structures limited their effectiveness compared to the standard drug exemestane, suggesting that with further modifications, these compounds could develop into potential anticancer agents.

The compounds, sarcovagine-D, alkaloid-C, and holaphylline isolated from were found to possess immunosuppressive activities. These compounds were characterized for inhibition on human T-cells proliferation and IL-2 production. The compounds showed significant immunosuppressive effect on IL-2 production as well as on phytohemagglutinin stimulated T-cell proliferation in a dose dependent manner.

Although management of hyperglycaemia represents one of the principal treatment goals of diabetes therapy, the high incidence of cardiovascular (CV) complications in diabetes also needs effective management. Therefore, the present study was designed to determine and compare the effect of glitazones on serum sialic acid (SSA), a known risk marker for CV disease, along with fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycohaemoglobin (HbA1-c) and blood lipids, in overweight, previously only diet-treated patients with type 2 diabetes (n=60). The study was conducted for a period of 12 months.
