Urticaria is a heterogeneous dermatological disorder characterized by transient wheals, angioedema, and pruritus, affecting up to 20% of individuals at least once during their lifetime. While many cases are idiopathic, a substantial proportion of patients report seasonal variation in disease activity, suggesting a contributory role of environmental factors. This narrative review examines the influence of humidity and pollen—two key seasonal environmental modifiers—on the onset and…

Computerized tomography (CT) technique popularity in China led to a new phenomenon— pulmonary nodules in a lot of adults. Effective therapeutics may base on new diagnostic techniques, surgery and drug study. As a new challenge, the diagnostic and therapeutic relations are bridge to narrow to mistake margins and patient incurability. This Article addresses the rollout of new diagnostic-therapeutic techniques and availability for this pattern of pulmonary disease in wide ranges.

Microalgae represent an outstanding renewable resource for the sustainable production of biohydrogen, owing to their rapid growth rates, efficient carbon fixation, and adaptability to various aquatic environments, as well as their low nutritional demands and minimal land requirements. Nonetheless, their commercial viability is hindered by challenges such as low hydrogen yields and high production costs. Recent advancements have actively addressed these challenges by prioritizing the…

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a prevalent and debilitating chronic consequence of diabetes mellitus, impacting over 50% of patients with long-standing illness. It includes a wide range of illnesses that affect peripheral and autonomic nerves, which can cause loss of sensation, neuropathic pain, autonomic dysfunction, and a higher risk of foot ulcers and amputations. Even though diabetes treatment has gotten better, DN is still not diagnosed or treated well enough, mostly because its aetiology…

Background: Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) describes kidney disease caused by nephrotoxic monoclonal immunoglobulins produced by small B-cell or plasma cell clones that do not meet criteria for overt hematologic malignancy. Renal biopsy is essential for definitive diagnosis but may be contraindicated in specific patient cases. This case highlights the importance of early screening, diagnosis, and treatment to prevent progression to end-stage renal disease…

Background: Smartphone-related postural dysfunction (SRPD), encompassing forward head posture (FHP), thoracic kyphosis, and rounded shoulder deformity, has emerged as a significant musculoskeletal public health concern. While postural education is widely used, it lacks the environmental and behavioral specificity required for durable correction in habitual smartphone users.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of three…

The properties of water and the emergence of life are interconnected phenomena. According to the hydrozoic theory of conscious perception, primordial forms of memory and awareness emerged during the early stages of biophysical evolution. The theory is based on the idea that membranes composed of phospholipid bilayer membranes and adhesive water molecules exhibit liquid crystalline properties, combining directional dependence with the mobility of the fluid mosaic model. These magnetic fields…

Respected Editor,

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is universally recognized for its devastating microvascular and macrovascular complications. Yet one organ has been conspicuously absent from both clinical guidelines and everyday practice: the lung. A growing body of evidence compellingly positions the lung as a genuine target organ of chronic hyperglycemia, giving rise to the concept of “diabetic pneumopathy” - a term encompassing restrictive ventilatory impairment, reduced diffusing…

Isolation and identification of fungi pathogens causing kolanut spoilage across Markets in Awka was carried out using standard laboratory procedures. Randomized block sampling method was used in sample collection for the study. Potato dextrose agar was used to prepare innocula for the diseased kolanuts collected. The results of the study revealed the presence of Aternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. Aspergillus niger was absent only in kolanut…

The Coconut (Cocos nucifera) fruit is a fibrous drupe with multiple uses and is widely disseminated on almost all continents. Coconut production is threatened by diseases causing significant economic losses. This study investigated Diseases of Coconut Seedlings at Nursery Stage in Awka, Anambra State. The study was carried out in two nurseries, one in Oby Okoli and another in Udoka Estate. The medium used for the isolation of pathogens in the samples collected was Sabouraud Dextrose Agar…
