Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, and the overexpression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) plays a critical role in tumor progression, proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. The present study aimed to investigate the anticancer potential of luteolin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, through molecular docking and in vivo experimental tumor evaluation targeting EGFR. Molecular docking studies were performed to evaluate the binding affinity and interaction of luteolin with the active site of EGFR protein.

The process of wound healing is a complicated physiological undertaking that includes inflammation, proliferation, and the remodeling of tissue. Oxidative stress, decreased angiogenesis, microbial infection, and reduced collagen synthesis are all factors that contribute to the considerable delay in wound healing that is associated with diabetes mellitus. The use of herbal medicines as alternative therapeutic agents has become more popular due to the fact that they are not only safe but also affordable and have pharmacological action that targets several targets.

The present Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that underlies nearly every domain of human behaviour. The present study examined the psychological foundations of decision-making by investigating the contributions of personal values and moral reasoning to rational and intuitive decision-making styles. A sample of 201 emerging adults completed standardised questionnaires measuring decision-making style, value orientations, and moral reasoning capacity. Correlation and regression analyses were employed to examine the relationships among these variables.

Introduction: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a prevalent cyclical gynecological condition characterized by recurrent physical, psychological, and behavioral symptoms that occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and subside with the onset of menstruation. Although PMS is not described as a distinct disease entity in Unani medicine, its symptom complex closely corresponds to conditions such as Ihtebās-e-Ṭams (retention of menses), Sudāʿ Qabl al-Ḥayḍ (premenstrual headache), and Tashannuj al-Raḥim (uterine spasm).

Horse purslane (Trianthema portulacastrum L.) is considered the most troublesome agricultural weed in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world, including the US, Mexico, Northern and Southern states of India and Pakistan by virtue of its infestation in various vegetable and agricultural fields. Foliar phytopathogenic fungi, the fungi that cause foliage diseases in plants, offers a tremendous opportunity to develop as bioherbicides/mycoherbicides.

In Indian metropolitan cities rapid administration has significantly transformed the land surfaces and ecological conditions. There is a direct implication for the urban climate and environmental sustainability. Hyderabad which is one of the fastest growing cities in southern India has experienced extensive spatial expansion over the past two decades. This study will be examining the spatiotemporal dynamics of the urban vegetation in Hyderabad by using the normalised difference vegetation index NDVI. Which is an indicator of vegetation health and density.

Pneumoperitoneum is traditionally considered a surgical emergency suggestive of hollow viscus perforation. However, rare non-surgical causes such as thoracic air leaks may also result in free intraperitoneal air. We report a case of a 16-year-old male who presented with spontaneous right-sided pneumothorax secondary to septic pulmonary emboli and subsequently developed pneumoperitoneum due to trans-diaphragmatic air dissection. The patient was critically ill with sepsis and septic shock requiring intensive care and multiple vasopressors.

Background: The management of cancer patients often includes palliative care to improve their quality of life. This study investigates the potential role of homeopathic medicines as an adjunctive therapy in this context. Objective: The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of homeopathic treatment in improving the quality of life of cancer patients under palliative care, using the Global Health Status (GHS) score of the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire as the primary outcome measure. Methods: This was a prospective study involving 30 cancer patients.

Ayurveda is the science which deals with the health of human being. Ayurveda is an ancient system of Indian medicine and its main objective is to maintain the optimum level of a healthy individual and treat the diseased one. The ancient texts of traditional science described Rachna Sharir as important aspect of Ayurveda which plays significant role for understanding structural concept of human body.

Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders represent a group of functional and pain-related conditions involving the masticatory system. Increasing evidence suggests that psychological stress may precipitate or exacerbate TMJ dysfunction by promoting muscle hyperactivity, clenching, and bruxism. Objectives: To assess the relationship between psychological stress, sleep pattern, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) symptoms among dental students.
