    Abstract Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) relies on the HRV frequency-domain analysis techniques. It requires re-sampling of the inherently unevenly sampled heartbeat time-series (RR tachogram) to produce an evenly sampled time series of the heartbeat. However, re-sampling of the heartbeat time -- series is found to produce a substantial error when estimating an artificial RR tachogram.

    Abstract Globally, the number of obese patients has doubled due to sedentary lifestyles and improper dieting. The tremendous increase altered human genetics, and health. According to the world health organization, Life expectancy dropped from 80 to 75 years, as obese people struggle with different chronic diseases. This report will address the problems of obesity in children and adults using ML datasets to feature, predict, and analyze the causes of obesity. By engaging neural ML networks, we will explore neural control using diffusion tensor imaging to consider body fats, BMI, waist \& hip ratio circumference of obese patients. To predict the present and future causes of obesity with ML, we will discuss ML techniques like decision trees, SVM, RF, GBM, LASSO, BN, and ANN and use datasets implement the stated algorithms. Different theoretical literature from experts ML \& Bioinformatics experiments will be outlined in this report while making recommendations on how to advance ML for predicting obesity and other chronic diseases.

    Abstract The connection between the design and delivery of health care services using information technology is known as health informatics. It involves data usage, validation, and transfer of an integrated medical analysis using neural networks of multi-layer deep learning techniques to analyze complex data. For instance, Google incorporated ''DeepMind'' health mobile tool that integrates \& leverage medical data needed to enhance professional healthcare delivery to patients. Moorfield Eye Hospital London introduced DeepMind Research Algorithms with dozens of retinal scans attributes while DeepMind UCL handled the identification of cancerous tissues using CT \& MRI Scan tools. Atomise analyzed drugs and chemicals with Deep Learning Neural Networks to identify accurate pre-clinical prescriptions. Health informatics makes medical care intelligent, interactive, cost-effective, and accessible; especially with DL application tools for detecting the actual cause of diseases. The extensive use of neural network tools leads to the expansion of different medical disciplines which mitigates data complexity and enhances 3-4D overlap images using target point label data detectors that support data augmentation, un-semi-supervised learning, multi-modality and transfer learning architecture. Health science over the years focused on artificial intelligence tools for care delivery, chronic care management, prevention/wellness, clinical supports, and diagnosis. The outcome of their research leads to cardiac arrest diagnosis through Heart Signal Computer-Aided Diagnostic tool (CADX) and other multifunctional deep learning techniques that offer care, diagnosis \& treatment. Health informatics provides monitored outcomes of human body organs through medical images that classify interstitial lung disease, detects image nodules for reconstruction \& tumor segmentation. The emergent medical research applications gave rise to clinical-pathological human-level performing tools for handling Radiological, Ophthalmological, and ...

    Abstract The epidemic prompted by COVID-19 continues to spread, causing a great risk to the general population's safety and health. There are still no drugs capable of curing it. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) are the two other diseases caused by coronaviruses. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) showed benefits in treating SARS and MERS by preventing the disease early, substantially mitigating symptoms, shortening the treatment period, and minimizing risks and adverse reactions caused by hormone therapy. Although several vaccines have been developed and are being used for the treatment of COVID-19, existing vaccines cannot provide complete protection against the virus due to the rapid evolution and mutation of the virus, as mutated viral epitopes evade the vaccine's target and decrease the efficacy of vaccines. Thus, there is a need to develop alternative options. TCM has demonstrated positive effects in the treatment of COVID-19. Previous research studies on TCM showed broad-spectrum antiviral activity, offering a range of possibilities for their potential use against COVID-19. This study shed some light on common TCM used for SARS and MERS outbreaks and their effective use for COVID-19 management. This study provides new insights into COVID-19 drug discovery.

    Abstract Obesity is the most pervasive metabolic disorder, further linked with many other diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, and sleep apnea. To control the increasing weight of obese individuals, experts usually recommend exercise and lifestyle alterations, but medication and surgeries are also advised in severe cases. FDA-approved obesity-controlling drugs are effective but possess certain adverse effects, including dry mouth, drug abuse, dysregulation in monoamine neurotransmitters, insomnia, and many more. Medication processes are expensive; researchers have focused on safer and more effective alternative approaches than pharmaceutical drugs. Since ancient times, a diverse array of herbal plants have been used due to their therapeutic effect, as in-vitro and in-vivo experimentations have proved the effectiveness of herbal plants with no mortality. In this review, we have presented various herbs with their metabolically active secondary metabolites, including Berberis vulgaris L, Rhizoma Coptidis, Radix Lithospermi, Aloe vera, Clerodendrum multiflorum Burm f., Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch), Boerhaavia diffusa, Achyranthes aspera L., etc. All of these herbs are responsible for anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, and anti-inflammatory effects. Most of the previously published clinical trials and animal studies that confirmed the significant potential of these herbal plants and their active ingredients to reduce weight by decreasing the accumulated fats in the body have also been discussed in this review. Thus, it is concluded that scientists must consider and utilize these natural treasures for safe, effective, and cost-effective treatment. It will open new and novel ways for treatment regimes.

    Abstract Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, people suffered from major mental health problems. These include stress, anxiety, and confusion about the existing situation of home confinement. Melatonin is a popular anti-inflammatory and antioxidant molecule sold as an over-the-counter dietary supplement.
    Objective: This review discusses the indications for using melatonin in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, including treatment.
    Methods: A comprehensive search of publications was conducted in electronic databases focusing on the administration of melatonin in COVID-19.
    Results: Stress has a huge negative impact on sleep routines and the quality of life of individuals. Sleep is considered an important modulator of the immune response. Thus, a lack of sleep can weaken immunity, increasing organism susceptibility to infection. For instance, shorter sleep durations are associated with a rise in suffering from the common cold. The administration of melatonin protects against viral and other pathogens and speeds clinical recovery.
    Conclusion: In patients admitted to intensive care units, melatonin decreases the risks of severe complications, such as thrombosis and sepsis, and mortality rates. In addition, it is efficacious in lowering vessel permeability, depression, and sedation, and improving the quality of sleep, which could also help COVID-19 patients achieve better clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a novel coronavirus, known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It originated from the Chinese city of Wuhan and very quickly became a challenging public health problem. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization termed this potentially deadly disease a pandemic due to its rapid spread in various parts of the world, giving rise to international health emergencies. This virus is transmitted from human to human in the form of respiratory droplets, and in specific circumstances, airborne transmission may occur. Additional sources of exposure for dentists include blood and infected sharps. Due to the contagious nature of COVID-19 many health care providers have also been disproportionately affected, such as physicians, dentists, nurses, and paramedical staff. Dentists and dental staff are at high risk of cross-infection due to their nature of work. Therefore, they face a dual challenge in protecting themselves and their patients from infection transmission while ensuring that patients receive urgent dental care. In this review, the authors highlight the epidemiology, modes of cross-infection, and recent data on SARS-CoV-2 related to dental practice. The primary purpose is to make dental health care providers aware of the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and to increase their preparedness and understanding of this challenge, which will aid in controlling transmission. The information collected will be useful for the dental community in providing effective patient management through evidence-based recommendations for infection control and disinfection protocols.

    Abstract Background: Dental plaque is a complex colorless film of bacteria that develops on the surfaces of teeth. Different mechanisms of microbial adhesion to tooth surfaces exist. Both non-specific and specific types of adherence have been anticipated.
    Highlight: The present review evaluated the effect of sugar-rich diet and salivary proteins on oral hygiene and dental plaque development.
    Conclusion: The oral microbiota is essential for maintaining and reestablishing a healthy oral cavity. Different types of sugars have different effects on the inhibition and formation of dental plaque. The peptides, proteins, and amino acids secreted by parotid glands in the oral cavity facilitate neutralizing the acidity in dental plaque and preventing dental caries. A properly balanced diet is crucial for both a healthy oral cavity and the oral microbiome.
