CAD-PsorNet: deep transfer learning for computer-assisted diagnosis of skin psoriasis.

Psoriasis, being a chronic, inflammatory, lifelong skin disorder, has become a major threat to the human population. The precise and effective diagnosis of psoriasis continues to be difficult for clinicians due to its varied nature. In northern India, the prevalence of psoriasis among adult population ranges from 0.

Geostatistical appraisal of water quality, contamination, source distribution of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the lower stretches of Subarnarekha River (Odisha), India, and health risk assessment by Monte Carlo simulation approach.

In the present study, the status of water quality, environmental contamination in the lower stretch of Subarnarekha River with respect to potentially toxic elements (PTEs), its seasonal distribution, and ecotoxicological health impacts were investigated. For this purpose, a combination of indexing approaches and geospatial methods was used. The estimated water quality index (WQI) has shown that the river water falls under "moderate to very poor" category during the pre-monsoon and "moderate to poor" category in the post-monsoon season.

Studies on anticancer properties with varying co-ligands in a Ru(II) arene benzimidazole system.

Recently in the field of chemotherapeutics, to combat the side effects of cisplatin, ruthenium complexes have been investigated extensively. In this work, a bidentate benzimidazole-based ligand, HL [HL = 2-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)-6-methoxyphenol], was utilized to obtain three Ru(II) arene complexes having a generalized formula [Ru(η--cym)(L)(X)] or [Ru(η--cym)(L)(X)] (where -cym = -cymene). The co-ligand X (X = (i) Cl, (ii) PPh = triphenyl phosphine, and (iii) PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) was varied in order to study the effect it has on the antitumor activity of the compounds.

PSS functionalized and stabilized carbon nanodots for specific sensing of iron in biological medium.

Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) are already emerged as an excellent sensing element for its exceptional behavior in fluorescence, biocompatibility, and water dispersibility. However, its poor stability, selectivity and reproducibility in complex medium still be a big problem for its practical application. To overcome this, in the work, we have developed a new type of carbon quantum dot-PSS fluorescent nanocomposites which has been used for specific Fe detection.

Biomass using tribal women exhibited respiratory symptoms, hypertensive risks and abnormal pulmonary function.

In rural areas of developing countries, solid fuels are still widely used for cooking, heating, and lighting purposes. This study investigates the effects of household air pollutants (HAPs) exposure on the occurrence of respiratory symptoms, blood pressure, and lung function. In this study, we randomly selected 123 (83 biomass and 40 clean fuel user) subjects to assess the impact of smoke generated from solid biomass fuel by assessing their health status along with the ventilation pattern of the kitchens and living rooms.
