The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is a widely used self-reported instrument for assessing physical activity across various intensities. This study aimed to culturally adapt and evaluate the reliability and validity of the Gujarati version of the IPAQ-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) for use within the Gujarati-speaking community. Following the IPAQ manual guidelines, the English version of the IPAQ-SF was translated into Gujarati using a forward-backward-forward translation process.

A SAP (Frameworks, Applications, and Items) may be a driving supplier of Venture Asset Arranging (ERP) program planned to coordinated different trade forms over organizations. Established in 1972 by previous IBM workers in Germany, SAP has advanced from its starting monetary bookkeeping computer program to a comprehensive suite including a wide cluster of modules and functionalities. The ERP framework centralizes information administration, encouraging real-time get to and integration over assorted trade capacities such as back, human assets, deals, and generation.

Clitoral abscesses are a rare and underreported condition in medical literature, characterized by the accumulation of purulent material in the clitoral region. Typically caused by bacterial infections, other contributing factors such as microtrauma, local interventions, or immunosuppression may also play a role. Due to the anatomical location and social stigma surrounding female genital disorders, these abscesses are often underdiagnosed and poorly documented.

Depression and anxiety damage brain cells, altering clinical outcomes and quality of life. Memory loss, anxiety, sleep disorders, and dementia affect millions globally due to mental health issues. Since ancient times, herbal therapies for neurological diseases have been used, and 88% of people worldwide use traditional medicine or medicinal herbs for general health. Herbal remedies enhance conventional treatments with plant substances. Central nervous system serotonin (5-HT), BDNF, glutamate, dopamine, and norepinephrine activities contribute.

Clinical laboratories are essential to modern healthcare, providing critical diagnostic data that guide patient treatment and management. However, laboratory errors, including misdiagnoses and incorrect test interpretations, can significantly impact patient safety and healthcare outcomes. The integration of digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative approach to minimizing these errors, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, optimizing workflows, and improving overall laboratory efficiency.

Acute diarrhea is one of the commonest cause of hospitalization in children and it can vary from self limiting course to severe diarrhea requiring hospitalization and can cause severe morbidity and occasionally mortality if not treated accordingly. Zinc deficiency can cause impaired immunity thereby increasing the infections including acute diarrhea. It is thus biologically plausible that zinc deficiency may increase the incidence and duration of acute diarrhea in children. WHO has recommended supplementation of zinc for each episode of diarrhea irrespective of zinc status of the child.

Appendicitis is an inflammation of the vermiform appendix, usually caused by interference with its lumen, or which increases intraluminal pressure and causes inflammation. Its symptoms include anorexia, diarrhea, periumbilical colic, fever and pain in the right lower quadrant. Clinical signs such as Blumberg's, Rovsing's, Psoas and Obturator's are observed on physical examination. The standard treatment is appendectomy, which can be performed laparoscopically or openly.

The study explores the dynamic concept of parenting and its vital role in child development, focusing on the intricacies of child-rearing behaviors and the emotional climate parents provide. It emphasizes how different parenting styles, such as authoritative and authoritarian, are closely linked to the qualities of parent-adolescent relationships, like cohesion and conflict. This research aims to assess parenting styles and adolescents' perceptions of parental authority, as well as the relationship between these perceptions and socio-demographic variables.

Background: The rising craze of smartphone use and its addiction was noticeable and it was increased further during COVID pandemic period. Seventy percent Indian adolescent found Smartphone user and its addiction was range from 39% to 85.4%. Changing prevalence of Smartphone addiction and its association was observed in different part of country. Therefore, it is important to understand the situation after COVID pandemic. The study aimed in estimating the prevalence of smartphone addiction among adolescent student and associated factors.

Laboratory innovations have revolutionized healthcare by enabling precision medicine, which tailors treatments based on individual patient profiles. This systematic review examines the impact of advanced laboratory technologies, including automation, artificial intelligence, and molecular diagnostics, on precision medicine and patient outcomes. A comprehensive analysis of recent studies highlights the pivotal role of these innovations in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, streamlining workflows, and improving therapeutic interventions.
