    Abstract Very intelligent compact sensors with low-power and inexpensive solutions have been created because of the industrial revolution and subsequent advancements in electrical technology and wireless communications. Modern innovative enhancements have been made for the utilization of small, low-price, and low-power wireless communication devices with fast processing capabilities. The sensor node communication and routing play a significant role in the configuration of a specific WSN environment. There are three types of WSN routing: proactive, reactive, and hybrid. DSDV and OLSR are two proactive routing technologies. AODV and DSR are reactive routing technologies. DSDV Routing requires a progress update of its routing tables even when the network is not in use, which uses battery power and generates negligible data. As a result, this protocol is inappropriate for networks that are both huge in scope and very dynamic. OLSR maintains track of all potential solutions in a routing table. The overhead from control messages rises as there are more mobile hosts. It requires more processing power than other protocols while looking for alternate routes. The DSR protocol relies on the minimal hop count parameter to pick the way without considering other parameters that impact routing algorithm performance, such as energy consumption, residual energy, and connection stabilities. The FPGA realization provides an ascendable computing environment for WSN planning in a specific region. The research articles emphasize the hardware chip simulation and analysis of these routing protocols which can be further applied for field applications and configuration The network performance is evaluated using several performance metrics such as throughput, control overhead, delay, packet delivery ratio, and power consumption. This study offers a key method for creating FPGA-based power estimation and verification models for a WSN planning environment.

    Abstract Clotrimazole, a commonly used antifungal agent, is employed in the treatment of otomycosis and other ear infections. However, its use can lead to adverse drug reactions (ADRs), occasionally manifesting as local irritation or allergic responses. This abstract presents a case study of a patient exhibiting an adverse reaction to clotrimazole ear drops, highlighting the clinical presentation, management, and resolution of the ADR. The patient, a 73-year-old male, presented with itching and erythema over the left pinna extending up to the middle of the sternum following clotrimazole ear drop application. Immediate cessation of the medication and symptomatic treatment led to rapid resolution of symptoms. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing potential ADRs associated with clotrimazole ear drops and the necessity of prompt intervention to mitigate adverse effects, thereby ensuring optimal patient care.

    Abstract State-of-the-art developments in oxidation activity and deactivation mechanisms of the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) are reviewed. The effect of temperature, hydrocarbons, CO, H2O, hydrogen, NO, oxygen, NO2, precious metals, and catalyst zoning on DOC's performance is analyzed. CO, NO, and hydrocarbon oxidation is self-inhibited. Hydrogen reduces the light-off temperatures of CO and hydrocarbons. Oxygen and NO2 act as oxidants. Hydrothermal, sulfur, chemical, and hydrocarbon poisoning are primary deactivation mechanisms. Hydrothermal deactivation is the leading cause of Pt-catalyst, and others are less severe. Further improvements regarding biodiesel impact, phosphorous poisoning, and hydrothermal stability are needed to advance DOC science.

    Abstract Male infertility is rising nowadays and accounts for a major part of infertility cases worldwide. Novel tests are being developed for better detection and management of male infertility. Though there are many tests available for diagnosing male infertility like acrosome reaction rate, hemizona assay, in vivo or in vitro sperm penetration assay, sperm DNA damage tests, however, a semen analysis is the most commonly used initial test for male infertility. It is usually associated with failure to detect the cause in many cases, as seminal composition gets affected by a number of factors and can give false reports. Furthermore, it does not give any information about defects in capacitation, sperm-zona pellucida interaction, and sperm's ability to fertilize oocytes. This results in failure of detection and delayed management of male infertility. Hence, the present review was conducted to identify various sperm proteins that play a significant role in spermatogenesis, sperm motility, sperm-zona pellucida interaction, and fertilization. These proteins can be used in the future as markers of male infertility and will aid in better detection and management of male infertility. Methodology: Search for literature was made from 1970 to 2020 from various databases like PUBMED, SCOPUS, Google Scholar on sperm proteins and their role in male fertility using keywords: "sperm protein as bio-markers", "novel sperm proteins as markers of infertility", "Sperm proteins essential for capacitation, sperm motility and oocyte fertilization". Inclusion criteria: All full-length research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or abstracts on sperm proteins and male infertility published in the English language in peer-reviewed journals were considered.

    Abstract Male infertility has emerged as an important cause of infertility worldwide. There are many factors affecting male fertility and research is going on to know impact of various factors on sperm functions. Semen analysis is gold standard diagnostic test for male infertility, but it is crude method for estimation of male infertility as seminal composition gets affected by environmental factors, infections, other pathologies, hence, results of semen analysis either becomes normal/ambiguous, leading to failure of diagnosis and delayed treatment. Hence, with need of newer, better tests for assessing male factor infertility, seminal plasma is being tested for biomarkers. Seminal plasma is considered gold mine for male fertility as it contains molecules from male reproductive glands which play important role in sperm function. Study of seminal plasma molecules can give an idea about sperm concentration, motility, morphology and cause of infertility and can serve as biomarkers for male infertility. Present review briefs on some of these novel seminal plasma biomarkers which may play significant role in male fertility and can be used in future for better identification, assessment of infertile males.
    Methodology: Literature from 1985 to 2019 was searched from various databases including PUBMED, SCOPUS, Google Scholar on seminal plasma biomarkers using keywords: "seminal plasma protein biomarkers", "novel seminal plasma markers and male infertility", "hormones in seminal plasma and male infertility", "oxidative stress and male infertility", "Reactive Oxygen Species and sperm DNA", "immunoinfertility".
    Inclusion criteria: All full length original or review articles or abstracts on seminal plasma markers and male infertility published in English language in various peer-reviewed journals were considered.
    Exclusion criteria: Articles published in languages other than English were excluded from the study.
    Results: Seminal plasma is a big reservoir of molecules derived from the various male reproductive glands which can be used as potential biomarkers of male fertility.
    Conclusion: Hence, seminal plasma biomarkers can be used in future for better assessment of male factor infertility, its causes and may play an important role in management of male factor infertility.

    Abstract Introduction: Variation in blood pressure and heart rate is observed in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Pupil to Limbus Diameter (PDL) ratio is one of the emerging autonomic functions. The studies measuring the autonomic functions of Parkinson’s patients are sparse. Aim: To observe the correlation of the PLD ratio with blood pressure and pulse rate among Parkinson’s disease patients. Materials and Methods: This observational study was conducted among 31 parkinson’s disease patients attending Outpatient Ward of General Medicine Department at Ruxmaniben Deepchand Gardi Medical College, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India, from 1st March 2021 to 1st November 2021. Pupil to limbus diameter ratio was recorded using the two-box method. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Pearson’s correlation was used to observe the correlation. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean age of the participants was 61.9±13.07 years. The mean PLD ratio of the left eye was 0.343±0.042. There was a significant positive correlation between the PLD ratio of the left and right eye with blood pressure in males. There was a positive correlation between pulse rate also with PLD ratio of the left and right eyes. However, it was not significant. Conclusion: There was a significant positive correlation of the PLD ratio with blood pressure and pulse rate in males, but negative correlation was observed between the PLD ratio of the left eye with systolic and diastolic blood pressure in females. The study results support the need for further detailed studies in this area to investigate further details of this correlation observed.

    Abstract Background: Decline in the cognitive functions is commonly observed in patients suffering with depression. Practicing yoga was reported to improve cognitive functions as well as manages depression. Aims and Objectives: The present study was undertaken to observe the effect of yoga practice on cognitive functions among the patients of depression. Materials and Methods: A total of 64 patients suffering with depression were recruited after obtaining written informed consent. Participants were randomly assigned to the interventional and control groups with 32 participants in each group. Digit span test (DST) was used to assess the cognitive functions of the participants at the baseline, after 1 month, and after 3 months of intervention. Yoga practice was administered as an adjunctive therapy to the interventional group for 3 months of period. No intervention was administered to the control group. Unpaired Student’s “t”-test and repeated measure ANOVA test were applied and P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The forward, backward, and total DST scores were not significantly different between the interventional and control groups at the baseline as well as after 1 month. Whereas, a statistically significant improvement after 3 months of yoga intervention in the forward (P<0.001), backward (P<0.05), and total (P<0.001) DST scores was observed when the interventional group was compared with the control group. A statistically significant improvement was observed in the interventional group even after 1 month of yoga practice in forward (P<0.001) and total (P<0.05) DST scores, while in backward DST scores, statistically significant improvement was observed after 3 months. Conclusion: The study results support improvement in the cognitive functions followed by yoga practice in patients suffering from depression within a short period of time. The study recommends the implication of yoga practice as an adjunctive therapy in the management of depression.

    Abstract Introduction: In the current scenario of the COVID 19 pandemic, the protective reflexes, namely sneeze and cough, have received great importance. However, it is not in terms of protection but in terms of the spread of infection. The present review tries to bring out the correlation between the physiology of sneeze and cough, taking into consideration the various receptors that initiate the two reflexes, then correlating it with the formation of expelled droplets and the significance of various aspects of droplets that lead to the spread of infection.
    Material and methods: For the compilation of the present review, we searched the terms "Physiology of cough", "Physiology of sneeze", "droplets", "aerosols" and "Aerosols in COVID 19". The above-mentioned terms were extensively searched on PubMed, Google Scholar, and google search engine. After reviewing the various available material, the most significant research has been considered for this review.
    Conclusion: Through this review, we conclude that there are various factors responsible for the initiation of sneeze and cough, but in the case of infection, it is mainly the inflammatory reaction that directly stimulates the receptors to produce the reflex outburst air. As the flow of air during expiration is turbulent, it causes damage to the Epithelial Lining Fluid present in the respiratory conduit. In addition, it gets admixed with the saliva in the oropharynx and oral cavity and mucus in the nose to form droplets of various sizes. Large droplets settle close and are responsible for droplet and fomite transmission, but the smaller droplets remain suspended in the air and travel farther distances to cause airborne transmission. The spread of droplet cloud in sneezing may range to 6m or more as compared to cough; hence the concept of 1m to 2m of social distancing does not hold reliable if the patient is sneezing.

    Abstract Abstract The objective of this present study was to investigate the potentiality of prebiotics (mannan oligosaccharides-MOS and fructo-oligosaccharides-FOS) in replacement of antibiotic growth promoter and their relationship with physico-chemical indices, antioxidant and oxidative stability and carcass traits of broiler chickens meat. Accordingly, 240 day-old broiler chicks of uniform body weight divided in 6 treatment groups with 5 replicate each (5 × 6 = 30) having 8 birds in each replicate. Six corn based dietary treatments were formulated viz. T1 (control diet), T2 (T1 + Bacitracin methylene di-salicylate @ 0.002%), T3 (T1 + 0.1% MOS), T4 (T1 + 0.2% MOS), T5 (T1 + 0.1% FOS), and T6 (T1 + 0.2% FOS). Significant (p < 0.05) increase in cut up part yields (%) and reduction in cholesterol and fat content in T4 (0.2% MOS) group. The water holding capacity (WHC) and extract release volume (ERV) were increase (p < 0.05) in 0.1 or 0.2% MOS supplemented group. DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazy) was higher (p < 0.05) and lipid oxidation (free fatty acid and thio-barbituric acid reactive substances) was lower (p < 0.05) in T4 group. The standard plate count (SPC), staphylococcus and coliform counts were decreased (p < 0.05) in T3 or T4 group. Thus, it can be concluded that mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) may be incorporated at 0.2% level in diet for improved physico-chemical indices, antioxidant and oxidative stability and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens meat and it may be suitable replacer of antibiotic growth promoter.
