A dual-stage model for classifying Parkinson's disease severity, through a detailed analysis of Gait signals using force sensors and machine learning approaches, is proposed in this study. Parkinson's disease is the primary neurodegenerative disorder that results in a gradual reduction in motor function. Early detection and monitoring of the disease progression is highly challenging due to the gradual progression of symptoms and the inadequacy of conventional methods in identifying subtle changes in mobility.

A novel palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H amination via oxidative coupling exploiting inactivated N-substituted aryl amines on indoles for the one-pot synthesis of novel 11-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-]indole derivatives is reported. The optimized reaction conditions accommodated a wide range of electronic variations on both the indole and the pendant aryl amine ring, resulting in products with good to excellent yields.

Seasonal variations in the environment induce observable changes in the human physiological system and manifest as various clinical symptoms in a specific human population. Our earlier studies predicted four global severe seasonal sensitive comorbid lifestyle diseases (SCLDs), namely, asthma, obesity, hypertension, and fibrosis. Our studies further indicated that the SCLD category of the human population may be maladapted or unacclimatized to seasonal changes.

Article Synopsis
  • Microplastics (MPs) were found in significant amounts in both sediments and surface water of the River Basantar, with mean abundances of 3 items/g for sediments and 530 items/L for surface water.
  • The common types of MPs identified included fragments, fibers, and films, with polymer types such as polyethylene and polypropylene, indicating a concerning level of pollution.
  • Risk assessments showed that all sites were classified under "very high" pollution risk, primarily due to urbanization and human activities, highlighting the urgent need for further research and coordinated efforts to combat plastic pollution in freshwater ecosystems.

Several epidemiological studies have examined the respiratory consequences of occupational exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, their effects on paint industry workers in organised and unorganised occupational sectors vary. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aim at evaluating the respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function of paint industry workers from various occupational sectors exposed to VOCs.
