A Descriptive Study of Leucorrhea and Its Etiological and Clinical Aspects
Abstract: Leucorrhea, commonly defined as excessive vaginal discharge, is a prevalent concern among women of reproductive age. It can be broadly classified as physiological or pathological. Physiological leucorrhea is usually linked to normal hormonal fluctuations during puberty, ovulation, pregnancy, or the menstrual cycle and is generally harmless. In contrast, pathological leucorrhea may indicate underlying conditions, such as bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections, hormonal disturbances, poor genital hygiene, or, in rare cases, …

BEHAVIORAL STUDY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS DURING MAINSHOCK–AFTERSHOCK EARTHQUAKES
Abstract: ABSTRACT - Earthquakes are among most destructive natural hazards, often causing widespread damage to buildings and vital infrastructure. The extent of this damage depends on various factors, one of which is the nature of fault movement. The point of initial rupture beneath the Earth’s surface is known as the hypocenter or focus. Seismic activity can be broadly divided into two categories: mainshocks and aftershocks. While the mainshock generally causes the …

A Review on Bio-Oil Production from Agricultural Waste Based on Various Processes, Bio-Oil Yield and Energy Recovery
Abstract: Agricultural waste generated through cultivation of crops, vegetables, fruits, and poultry can pollute the environment and affect the health of both humans and animals. Traditionally, most agricultural wastes are either burned or disposed of in landfills which cause acute environmental pollution. These easily accessible and underutilized agro-wastes remain a potential resource for biofuel production. This review analyses several thermochemical and biochemical methods encompassing pyrolysis, gasification, and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and …

Bone Mass Density and Osteomyelitis in Elderly-An Overview
Abstract: Bone mass density (BMD) plays a critical role in skeletal health, particularly in the elderly, where age-related bone loss increases susceptibility to infections such as osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis, a severe bone infection often caused by Staphylococcus aureus, is more prevalent in older adults due to factors such as osteoporosis, impaired immune function, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease. Reduced BMD weakens bone integrity, making it more vulnerable to fractures and microbial invasion, …

Impact of Landslides on Water Resource Management: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies
Abstract: Heavy rainfall often causes water to accumulate at the base of mountains, leading to soil saturationand the formation of mud with significantly diminished shear strength. This weakened soil conditioncannot withstand the shear stress imposed by the weight of the mountain, resulting in slope instabilityand subsequent landslides. Such landslides not only pose risks to infrastructure and human safety butalso have substantial effects on water resource management. Landslides disrupt natural water flow,cause …
