    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Natural products, especially those derived from plants, continue to provide new and important leads in the drug discovery process. The first step in drug discovery is to document material traditionally used to treat an ailment. Documentation of such knowledge will lead to its conservation and facilitate future research on medicinal plant safety and efficacy to validate traditional use. The present study was undertaken with an aim to document the ethnomedicinal plants of Kathua district.
    Material and methods: The data were quantitatively analysed using indices like use-value (UV), informant consensus factor (ICF) and fidelity level (Fl).
    Results: A total of 112 informants (78 males and 34 females) were interviewed. They were using a total of 197 plants from 87 families and 174 genera for the ethnomedicinal purposes. The most dominant families were Fabaceae, Asteraceae and Lamiaceae. The most important plants of the study site on the basis of use-value were Mentha longifolia, Curcuma domestica, Zingiber officinale, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Adiantum capillus-veneris, Viola odorata, Mentha arvensis and Acorus calamus. The diabetes treatment had the maximum consensus (0.96 ICF) among the informants. Other important categories with high ICF values were gastrointestinal disorders and respiratory disorders. Total 23 species recorded 100% Fl. Medicinal plants with high Fl were Brassica rapa, Plumbago zeylanica, Punica granatum, Catharanthus rosea, Tinospora cordifolia, Acacia catechu, Aegle marmelos, Abrus precatorius, Oxalis corniculata, Nicotiana plumbaginifolia, Achillea millefolium, Tamarindus indica, Taxus baccata and Butea monosperma.
    Conclusion: The plants with high UV and Fl like M. longifolia, C. domestica, Z. officinale, O. tenuiflorum, A. capillus-veneris, A. calamus, B. rapa, P. zeylanica, C. rosea, T. cordifolia, A. catechu, O. corniculata, N. plumbaginifolia, A. millefolium, T. indica, T. baccata and B. monosperma should be analysed for pharmacological components and discovery of new drugs.

    Abstract In this study, three dummies were evaluated on the component level and as a whole. Their responses were compared with available volunteer and embalmed Post Mortem Human Subject (PMHS) data obtained under similar test conditions to evaluate their biofidelity. The volunteer and PMHS data, used as comparators in this study, were used previously to establish some of the biofidelity requirements of the Hybrid III. The BioRID II, the Hybrid III, and the RID2 were all subjected to rear impact HYGE sled tests with deltaVs of 17 and 28 km/hr to determine their biofidelity in these conditions. A static pull test, where a load was manually applied to the head of each dummy, was used to evaluate the static strength of their necks in flexion and extension. Finally, pendulum tests were conducted with the Hybrid III and RID2 to evaluate the dynamic characteristics of their necks in flexion and extension. The sled test results indicate that out of the three dummies, the overall flexibility of the Hybrid III is comparable to that of the volunteer anticipating the impact. The overall flexibilities of the BioRID II and the RID2 are greater than those of all the comparators used in this study (the tensed volunteer and the two embalmed PMHSs). The responses of the Hybrid III are closer to those of the tensed volunteer than those of the PMHSs. The responses of the BioRID II and the RID2 are closer to those of the PMHSs than to the tensed volunteer.

    Abstract This book highlights the technicalities of plant breeding in a seed-business environment and explains the crucial aspects of the value chain. It educates the readers on how to initiate, participate, sustain national and international agreements for material transfer, how consortia work to facilitate germplasm accessibility, and how to set visionary goals to develop a superior plant varieties. The book covers the aspects such as how to conduct disease screening trials at hot spots, preparing an operational budget, and how to accelerate product advancement. Plant breeding is broadly defined as manipulation of plant genotypes to create phenotypes that are beneficial to mankind. It helps to achieve food security and sustainability by developing high yielding, climate-resilient, nutritious varieties of crops and hence is able to address unprecedented challenges like rising global population, diminishing genetic biodiversity, and uncertainties of the weather . This book is an extraordinary source of information starting from goal-genesis to market-oriented product-profiling and help readers to accelerate/enhance? their work/professional performance more effectively. This book will be very useful to practicing plant breeders at various levels in the public and private sectors. It is a must-have book for potential plant breeders who enter plant breeding profession just after the completion of their formal plant breeding education.

    Abstract This study aims to investigate public sentiment on laryngeal cancer via tweets in 2022 using machine learning. We aimed to analyze the public sentiment about laryngeal cancer on Twitter last year. A novel dataset was created for the purpose of this study by scraping all tweets from 1st Jan 2022 that included the hashtags #throatcancer, #laryngealcancer, #supraglotticcancer, #glotticcancer, and #subglotticcancer in their text. After all tweets underwent a fourfold data cleaning process, they were analyzed using natural language processing and sentiment analysis techniques to classify tweets into positive, negative, or neutral categories and to identify common themes and topics related to laryngeal cancer. The study analyzed a corpus of 733 tweets related to laryngeal cancer. The sentiment analysis revealed that 53% of the tweets were neutral, 34% were positive, and 13% were negative. The most common themes identified in the tweets were treatment and therapy, risk factors, symptoms and diagnosis, prevention and awareness, and emotional impact. This study highlights the potential of social media platforms like Twitter as a valuable source of real-time, patient-generated data that can inform healthcare research and practice. Our findings suggest that while Twitter is a popular platform, the limited number of tweets related to laryngeal cancer indicates that a better strategy could be developed for online communication among netizens regarding the awareness of laryngeal cancer.

    Abstract Private equity acquisition of independent private practices has grown dramatically in the last decade, with private equity firms increasingly investing in surgical specialties that practice in outpatient ambulatory centers. This trend has slowly started to creep into plastic surgery; therefore, understanding the concepts of private equity ownership in healthcare and its benefits and risks is critical. This article provides a fundamental economic background on private equity, describes its current state in healthcare, including trends in plastic surgery, and provides recommendations for plastic surgeons considering private equity acquisition.
