CNS illnesses specified by slow deprivation of especially preganglionic neurons, as opposed to the selective static neuronal loss caused by a toxic or metabolic condition, are known as Neurodegenerative disorders. Neurodegenerative disorders are differentiated clinically by behavioral or cognitive problems. The management and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders pose significant challenges, necessitating a multidimensional approach.

In particular, the mobile accelerometer sensor data, if monitored effectively, can be used further for keeping watch on the physical activity of an individual and planning an intervention to improve it. These sensor data can also be used for improving clinical decision-making in sedentary lifestyle-related diseases.

Few studies have looked at mortality and the frequency of AKI following successful heart and thoracic operations. The current study investigates the association between AKI and mortality rates among patients undergoing post-cardiac surgery care within the Cardiology & Cardio Vascular Thoracic Surgery (CVTS) Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Introduction: This study investigates patient satisfaction among COVID-19 survivors in Northeast India, motivated by the unique long-term healthcare needs of survivors and the critical role of patient satisfaction in assessing and enhancing healthcare quality. By focusing on this underexplored region, the research aims to uncover insights that can guide improvements in patient-centered care and healthcare service delivery in similar contexts.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted using a Simple Random Sampling technique.
COVID-19, also known as coronavirus disease 2019, is an extremely contagious viral sickness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). After the first cases of this primarily respiratory viral illness were recorded in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in late December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 rapidly disseminated across the globe. Consequently, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a global pandemic.

PD stands second among the common neurodegenerative diseases caused as a result of dopaminergic neuron loss in the midbrain's substantia nigra regions. It affects cognitive and motor activities, resulting in tremors during rest, slow movement, and muscle stiffness.

Barriers to using health services appropriately may lead to maternal and child mortality, morbidity, low birth weight, and children with stunted growth. With the increase in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in the health sector, we plan to develop a predictive model that can enable substantial uptake of maternal health services and improvements in adverse pregnancy health care outcomes from early diagnostics to treatment in urban slum settings.

This disorder specifically affects people aged between 18-64 with type ІІ diabetes. This disease progresses through different pathophysiological pathways, which include oxidative stress, inflammation, stimulation of the growth factor in the eye's vasculature, isoforms of protein kinase C, and also the activation of the hexosamine pathway.

This work has been done for the investigation of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of methanol extract of dried leaves of Murraya koenigii Linn by oral administration at dose of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight, to healthy animals. Extract was studied for its anti-inflammatory activity by using carrageenan-induced hind paw edema in albino rats and the mean increase in paw volume and % inhibition in paw volume were measured plethysmometrically at different time intervals after carrageenan (1% w/v) injection. Extract was also evaluated for analgesic activity using Eddy's hot plate method and formalin induced paw licking method in albino rats.
