 Abstract

The present study compares the antimitotic activity of Annona squamosa leaf extract to Methotrexate utilising a fenugreek seed germination experiment. The inhibition of root elongation was employed to detect inhibited cell division. Phytochemical screening of the extract revealed the presence of biologically active substances such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and glycosides. Methotrexate and Annona squamosa extract slowed root development in a dose-dependent manner. Although methotrexate showed greater inhibition, the extract also had significant antimitotic effects, particularly at higher dosages. These findings indicate that Annona squamosa has significant potential as a natural source of antimitotic drugs.

The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented disruptions to all sectors, with education being among the most affected. As traditional classroom learning became impossible during lockdowns, educational institutions rapidly transitioned to online platforms to ensure continuity in learning. This study explores the role and effectiveness of Microsoft PowerPoint as a teaching aid during this transition, focusing specifically on students of Class VII in an English medium SSC school in Mumbai. The research aimed to assess how PowerPoint presentations impacted students' understanding and engagement in online classes and to identify challenges encountered during their use. Adopting a descriptive research design and using a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool, the study gathered insights from students through convenience sampling. Findings indicated that the majority of students found PowerPoint presentations helpful in enhancing their learning experience due to their interactive and visually engaging format. However, a small number of students faced issues such as difficulty concentrating and screen fatigue. The study concludes that Microsoft PowerPoint served as an effective ICT tool in online education, although its success depended on students' adaptability and access to digital resources. The research underscores the importance of integrating varied digital tools in the curriculum and recommends further exploration of ICT effectiveness across different educational boards and inclusive settings

Trivrut as per season: Trivrut kalpas refer to Ayurvedic medicinal preparations, or formulations, based on the Turpeth root plant, also known as Operculina turpethum. These formulations are widely used in Ayurveda for various health conditions, particularly for their purgative and cleansing properties. Ayurvedic texts like the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Astanga Hridaya mention Trivrut and its various uses. A concept in Ayurveda that focuses on the proper preparation, dosage, and administration of medicinal preparations, including those involving Trivrut. Some Trivrut kalpas are designed for use in specific seasons, reflecting the principles of seasonal Ayurveda. So this article focuses on Trivrut as per season

 Abstract

The increasing population of stray animals poses significant challenges, including inadequate healthcare, lack of shelter, and low adoption rates. Pet Adoption and Rescue is an innovative web-based platform designed to bridge the gap between individuals who find stray animals and rescue organizations, volunteers, and potential adopters. The platform provides an Instagram-style reporting interface, allowing users to report stray animals with images, location details, and health status. Additionally, it features a categorized adoption feed with pet profiles, an interactive three-stage adoption process, and a location-based search for nearby pets and shelters. To enhance rescue efforts, the system integrates volunteer registration, donation modules, and real-time notifications. By leveraging technology, this project aims to streamline pet adoption, improve rescue efficiency, and increase community engagement. The implementation of this platform is expected to enhance the adoption process, reduce shelter overcrowding, and promote responsible pet ownership.

 Abstract

The present study was done to compare the effect of straw drinking and mouthwash on thirst distress and interdialytic weight gain among patients undergoing hemodialysis. The main objectives of the study were test the effect of straw drinking in reducing thirst distress among patients undergoing hemodialysis, test the effect of mouth wash in reducing thirst distress among patients undergoing hemodialysis, test the effect of straw drinking on interdialytic weight gain among patients undergoing hemodialysis, test the effect of mouth wash on interdialytic weight gain among patients undergoing hemodialysis, compare the effect of straw drinking and effect of mouth washes in reducing thirst distress, compare the effect of straw drinking and effect of mouth washes in reducing interdialytic weight gain and to determine the correlation between thirst distress and interdialytic weight gain among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Experimental cross over design was adopted with a sample size of 90. The tools used were personal and clinical data sheet, thirst distress scale and calibrated weighing machine. The subjects were randomly grouped into two, a coin was tossed to decide which intervention has to be given first to the subjects in Group A. Subjects in Group A received frequent mouth wash as first intervention followed by straw drinking, group B received the straw drinking as the 1st intervention followed by mouthwash. They followed each intervention for 5 days. The post test to assess the thirst distress and interdialytic weight gain were done during 2 consecutive dialysis after each intervention. Both the intervention had a significant impact on thirst distress and interdialytic weight gain. And while comparing both intervention mouth wash was better intervention which was accepted by majority of the subjects. There is a weak positive correlation exist between thirst distress and interdialytic weight gain.

 Abstract

In today's payment environment, the difficulties of managing healthcare and achieving clinical integration have gained national attention. Research on using technology to help reduce costs and guarantee healthcare quality is still underway. Many sectors utilize business intelligence solutions to extract insights from operational and financial data in order to make better decisions that ultimately lead to efficiency and effectiveness. In order to justify research on the influence of business intelligence on healthcare delivery in the United States of America, this paper will provide the reader with an overview of the current literature on two fundamental topics: business intelligence and healthcare delivery. In order to accomplish that, we look at how BI is being used in the healthcare sector, discuss pertinent problems and difficulties, and investigate how BI may support particular organizational skills. There are examples of how BI capabilities have helped organizations address issues related to healthcare quality, affordability, and accessibility. This study, which presents BI as a tool to guarantee a strong. and methodical approach to health care management with the ultimate goal of having a lasting impact on quality improvement and cost control, could be helpful to both practitioners and scholars.

 Abstract

As technology becomes more deeply integrated into our daily lives, it's also being misused for harmful activities like phishing, fraud, and online scams. That's why detecting spam has become so crucial. In this work, we introduce a smarter and more effective way to spot spam using a combination of machine learning techniques. We pair the Harris Hawks Optimizer (HHO) with the k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) algorithm to improve classification accuracy. Unlike traditional methods that often fall short due to the constantly changing nature of spam, our approach also incorporates BERT--a powerful language model that understands the deeper meaning and context of words. This helps the system more accurately tell the difference between spam and real emails. Our results show that this method significantly outperforms older models, offering a more reliable and scalable solution for staying ahead of spam threats.

 Abstract

The Kinetic Chain Activation Technique (KCAT) has emerged as a contemporary manual therapy approach targeting myofascial chains to correct movement dysfunction, alleviate musculoskeletal pain, and restore functional mobility. Rooted in the principle that body segments operate as interconnected links, KCAT addresses dysfunction by activating distal fascial pathways to influence proximal joint biomechanics. This narrative review explores the effectiveness of KCAT across a range of conditions including osteoarthritis, shoulder dysfunction, hamstring tightness, and wound healing. Evidence from randomized clinical trials and case studies suggests significant improvements in pain reduction, joint alignment, flexibility, and functional outcomes when KCAT is integrated into rehabilitation protocols. The review highlights the therapeutic value of KCAT in physiotherapy and underscores its role in optimizing kinetic chain dynamics through fascial modulation.
