Malaria is one of the most common parasitic disease affecting mankind since millennia. The most pronounced changes related to malaria involve the blood and the blood forming system, the spleen and the liver. The abnormal haematological and biochemical parameters observed in malaria cases adversely affect the prognosis of the disease. The aim of this study was to assess the severity of malaria by observing the significant abnormalities in haematological and biochemical parameters in the malaria infected cases as compared to the healthy controls. The study population comprised of 138 individuals, of which 69 were malaria cases and 69 were apparently healthy controls. All the 138 individuals were subjected to haematological and biochemical workup, following which statistical analysis was done to observe any association of altered haematological and biochemical parameters with severity of malaria, as compared to the healthy controls. Among the 138 study population, 69 patients were malaria cases whereas the other 69 were healthy controls. Haematological investigations revealed, that the haemoglobin levels, total RBC counts and haematocrit were significantly altered in the malaria cases as compared to the healthy controls. Also the leucogram profile showed significant leucopenia and neutropenia in the malaria patients as compared to the controls. Thrombocytopenia was also seen to be more pronounced in the malaria infected. The liver enzymes and serum bilirubin levels were raised in the malaria cases more than the controls. Altered haematological and biochemical parameters are indicators of disease progression to severity. Early detection and management of these parameters, will prevent the development of complications in malaria.

Background: Postoperative fever (POF) is a common occurrence in patients undergoing major surgery, presenting challenges and burdens for both patients and surgeons yet. This study endeavors to examine the incidence, identify risk factors, and establish a machine learning-based predictive model for POF following surgery of oral cancer.
Methods: A total of seven hundred and twenty-seven consecutive patients undergoing radical resection of oral cancer were retrospectively investigated.

Gsx2 is a homeodomain transcription factor critical for development of the ventral telencephalon and hindbrain of the mouse. Loss of Gsx2 function results in severe basal ganglia dysgenesis as well as defects in the nucleus tractus solitarius (nTS) of the hindbrain together with respiratory failure at birth. De Mori et al.

Objective: Due to the high global prevalence of silicosis and the ongoing challenges in its diagnosis, this pilot study aims to screen biomarkers from routine blood parameters and develop a multi-biomarker model for its early detection.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted to screen biomarkers for the diagnosis of silicosis using LASSO regression, SVM and RF. A sample of 612 subjects (half cases and half controls) were randomly divided into training and test groups in a 2:1 ratio.

possesses promising flavonoid secondary metabolites. However, translation of these compounds into clinical practice for neurological disease treatment is halted as the toxicity and safety profile of the plant extracts are yet to be determined. This study was conducted to assess the acute oral toxicity and subacute neurotoxicity that could be imposed by the flavonoid-enriched fraction (FEF) extracted from leaves, by strictly following the procedures set in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines No.

Background: The protein cereblon (CRBN) mediates the antileukemia effect of lenalidomide (Len). Len binds to CRBN, recruits IKZF1/IKZF3, and promotes their ubiquitination and degradation, through which Len exhibits its antileukemia and antimyeloma activity. Therefore, the protein level of CRBN might affect the antiproliferative effect of Len.
