Background: Corneocyte surface nanoscale topography (nanotexture) has recently emerged as a potential biomarker for inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD). This assessment method involves quantifying circular nano-size objects (CNOs) in corneocyte nanotexture images, enabling noninvasive analysis via stratum corneum (SC) tape stripping. Current approaches for identifying CNOs rely on computer vision techniques with specific geometric criteria, resulting in inaccuracies due to the susceptibility of nano-imaging techniques to environmental noise and structural occlusion on the corneocyte.

- Adequate sleep is vital for health, yet many nurses in stressful hospital environments experience poor sleep quality, prompting a study to analyze this issue.
- Conducted with 1,217 nurses between May 2019 and April 2020, the study used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and workplace stress scales to assess sleep quality and stress levels.
- Results showed that over 42% of nurses had poor sleep quality, with higher prevalence among women, those with severe workplace stress, and chronic pain, indicating a need for health promotion programs.
The marine environment is considered one of the most important ecosystems with high biodiversity. Microorganisms in this environment are variable and coexist with other marine organisms. The microbes associated with other marine organisms produce compounds with biological activity that may help the host's defense against invading organisms.

These charts-lab and non-lab versions-estimate a person's overall CVD risk; the non-lab version is intended for low-resource environments.
Objectives: Using the "non-lab" and "lab" versions of the WHO CVD risk prediction charts, we sought to estimate the burden of ten-year risk of a fatal or non-fatal CVD event in a tertiary care hospital of Puducherry and to assess the agreement between them.
