Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) often require multiple medications, restriction of fluid and diet intake, and maintenance hemodialysis (HD) to manage their condition, which together makes it difficult to maintain adherence to treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of treatment adherence among ESRD patients and to identify influencing factors, addressing the lack of such data from Northern India.

In this framework, Hirota bilinear form is applied to acquire diverse types of interaction lump solutions from the foresaid equation. Abundant lump, lump-periodic, lump-soliton and multi soliton solutions to the pKP system are presented by the Hirota bilinear form and a mixture of exponentials and trigonometric functions.

Our primary goal is to obtain the analytical solutions utilizing novel methodology, particularly the modified extended tanh-function technique. We concentrate on the search to solitary wave solutions inside the (1+1)- and (2+1)-dimensional CNLSEs, which are relevant in domains such as optics, electro-magnetic wave propagation, plasma physics, optics and quantum mechanics.

Brain-related Neurodegenerative Disorders (NDD) are the leading cause of low life expectancy globally. Brain-targeted drug delivery is required for treating most the NDD via bypassing the blood-brain barrier, and hepatic first-pass metabolism. The nasal-brain drug delivery route has the advantage of locally enhancing drug delivery to the brain, mainly through the olfactory route rather than systemic circulation.

The human population is growing and alternate food options are needed to provide food and nutritional security to mankind. Reduced agricultural output as a result of climate change and increased demand for grains because of continuous population growth have created a gap between demand and supply of food. Buckwheat is a pseudocereal crop plant with high nutritional value that can be included as an alternate food in our diet.
