Article Abstract

Dengue, a formidable life-threatening malady, currently exerts a profound impact upon the Western Pacific and Southeast-Asian developing and underdeveloped nations. The intricacies inherent in addressing dengue are manifold, requiring a concerted effort not only towards vector control but also the implementation of efficacious host treatments to forestall the progression of the disease into severe manifestations, such as hemorrhage and shock. The only vaccine available for dengue in the market is DENGVAXIA, with several other vaccine candidates which are currently in the clinical developmental stages. However, DENGVAXIA, owing to incidences of adverse events in among children, was withdrawn in Philippines. This warrants the development of new safer vaccine candidates. The existent control strategies, regrettably, demonstrate inadequacy in effectively mitigating the rampant dissemination of this ailment. Moreover, the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities exhibit potential for refinement, specifically through precision diagnostics and tailored therapeutic interventions, to enhance the precision and efficacy of dengue management. This comprehensive review endeavors to provide an in-depth elucidation of the utilization of nanotechnology-based approaches synergistically integrated with conventional methodologies in the overarching domains of dengue control, diagnosis, and treatment.

Wearable bioelectronics have transformed modern biomedical applications by enabling seamless integration with biological tissues, providing continuous, comprehensive, and personalized healthcare. Skin cancer, particularly melanoma, poses a significant clinical challenge due to its high metastatic potential and associated mortality. Traditional diagnostic approaches face limitations in accuracy, accessibility, and reproducibility, while existing treatments are often constrained by systemic toxicity and therapeutic resistance.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including punicalagin, ellagic acid, anthocyanins, and urolithins, which contribute to its broad pharmacological potential. This review summarizes evidence from in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as clinical studies, highlighting pomegranate's therapeutic effects in inflammation, metabolic disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, microbial infections, and skin conditions. Mechanistic insights show modulation of pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).

Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) remains a public health conundrum with high morbidity and mortality rates. While early identification of high-risk patients could enable preventive interventions and improve survival, evidence on the effectiveness of current prediction methods remains inconclusive. Limited research exists on patients' prearrest pathophysiological status and predictive and prognostic factors of IHCA, highlighting the need for a comprehensive synthesis of predictive methodologies.

Purpose: Breast cancer remains a significant public health challenge globally, as well as in India, where it is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in females. Significant disparities in incidence, mortality, and access to health care across India's sociodemographically diverse population highlight the need for increased awareness, policy reform, and research.

Design: This review consolidates data from national cancer registries, global cancer databases, and institutional findings from a tertiary care center to examine the epidemiology, clinical challenges, and management gaps specific to India.
