 Abstract

Atisara, or diarrhea, is one of the most common and potentially serious health concerns affecting infants and young children worldwide, contributing significantly to pediatric morbidity and mortality. In Ayurveda, this condition is classified under Atisara, a disorder of aggravated Doshas leading to excessive and frequent passage of liquid stools. Atisara is classified as a disease caused by derangement of agni (digestive fire), Doshas (especially vata), and improper dietary practices. In modern medicine, pediatric diarrhoea is often viral in origin but may also be caused by bacteria, parasites or food intolerance. This article reviews the Ayurvedic understanding of Atisara, its clinical features, modern correlations, and the integrated approach to its management in children.

Abstract: Introduction- The CRISPR-Cas9 system has revolutionised genome editing by enabling efficient, programmable, and cost-effective modifications of DNA across diverse organisms. Since its adaptation from bacterial adaptive immunity, CRISPR-Cas9 has rapidly transitioned from preclinical models to early human clinical trials, establishing itself as a transformative platform in modern therapeutics. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated its potential to correct disease-causing mutations, model complex pathologies, and accelerate drug discovery. Methodology- Clinical applications are already underway in blood disorders such as sickle cell disease and ?-thalassemia, where the FDA-approved therapy exagamglogene autotemcel (CASGEVY(TM)) represents the first CRISPR-based treatment. Additional trials, including EDIT-101 for Leber congenital amaurosis and NTLA-2001 for transthyretin amyloidosis, underscore its versatility across genetic and metabolic diseases. CRISPR is also being explored in oncology, infectious diseases, and rare disorders, while next-generation systems such as Cas12, Cas13, base and prime editors, and epigenome regulators are broadening its capabilities. Despite remarkable progress, challenges remain regarding off-target effects, delivery efficiency, immune responses, long-term safety, and ethical concerns, particularly in the context of germline editing. Conclusion -Advances in delivery platforms, high-fidelity nucleases, and computational tools are addressing these barriers, while integration with AI, nanotechnology, and synthetic biology promise to expand the precision and applicability of genome editing. In short, CRISPR-Cas9 is at the vanguard of genetic medicine as a tool for both study and treatment. Its clinical translation offers the unprecedented potential for one-time, curative therapies, but realising this promise will require not only technical refinement but also equitable access, global governance, and ethical responsibility.

 Abstract

Persistent rural-urban disparities in access to higher education and high dropout rates remain critical challenges in Mizoram's government colleges. Students from rural areas often encounter barriers such as limited academic resources, economic constraints, and inadequate institutional support, resulting in lower enrolment and higher dropout rates compared to their urban counterparts. This study investigated enrolment and dropout patterns in government colleges of Mizoram over five academic years, i.e., 2019 to 2024. The objectives were to determine the total student enrolment, analyse the distribution between rural and urban areas, and compare these patterns across the specified years. Additionally, the study examined the overall dropout rate and computed separate dropout rates for rural and urban students, followed by a comparative evaluation. Data were obtained from secondary sources, including the All-India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) and state-level statistical abstracts. Descriptive statistics, trend analysis, and comparative measures were applied to assess enrolment dynamics and dropout patterns. The findings highlighted continuing inequities in access and retention, reinforcing the need for targeted policy measures to bridge rural-urban gaps and reduce dropout rates in Mizoram's government colleges.

 Abstract

This study examines the recent, major reforms in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework in India (referred to as "GST 2.0") and analyzes their immediate and projected impact on the Indian automobile sector. The latest changes, effective from September 2025, represent a significant tax rationalization by simplifying the previous multi-rate structure (including 12% and 28% slabs plus cesses) into a clearer framework, primarily featuring 5%, 18%, and a new 40% rate for luxury goods. The reform's most profound impact is on affordability and demand stimulation in the mass-market segments. GST on small cars (under 4m, specific engine capacities) and two-wheelers (<=350cc) has been reduced substantially from 29-31% to 18%. This tax cut is designed to lower on-road prices, boost first-time buyers, revive the entry-level segment, and particularly drive consumption in rural and semi-urban markets, as evidenced by initial reports of surging bookings during the festive season. The latest GST reforms However, even with simplification, there are several potential disadvantages, particularly for specific sectors, businesses, and consumers during the transition phase. The long-term sustainability of this growth and its full translation into higher Input Tax Credit (ITC) utilization and fresh capacity investments warrant continuous monitoring.

 Abstract

Post-Independence India remains segregated based on sociocultural differences, which over time have only been exacerbated by the surge of technological advancements and globalisation. Despite this rapid development rate, individuals within the borders defined by differences in income, education, healthcare, and employment opportunities share different realities. These realities could be as basic as the inability to afford stationery for school or as complex as facing social isolation due to their perceived social status, like caste. These realities, alongside background, economic status, opportunities, and social class, all influence people's outlook of themselves, often resulting in the Confidence Gap . Confidence is powerful as it governs the way individuals perceive themselves and their potential, how they interpret problems and seize opportunities. Thus, playing a major role in facilitating career advancements. It also impacts the way individuals interact with one another and their willingness to engage in conversation with less-known individuals. Therefore, it also impacts social (both professional and personal) relationships. The 'confidence gap' or the difference between individuals' abilities and the confidence within their abilities, emphasises how people from low-income areas and women tend to believe in themselves less . This concept is mainly moulded by the rhetoric of the West, and primarily applied in the context of gender, which covers the influence of gender and social stereotypes on one's self-conviction. The patriarchal setup of society results in women having lower self-confidence due to societal pressures which set an expectation for them to remain "perfect", while men are provided with more room to make mistakes. This results in women often avoiding new opportunities due to the fear of failure. This difference in confidence is also prevalent among students (as well as teachers) from rural and urban areas within India. The influence of their backgrounds, ability to speak English, and socioeconomic status can all sway their confidence, which often results in their perceiving themselves as inferior compared to individuals from urban areas. This can lead to limited exposure to socio-economic opportunities and development, which in turn only further exacerbates the divide between urban and rural individuals. The education system, being one of the primary systems through which students are first exposed to the concept of confidence, plays a major role in shaping the self-belief of students . As confidence stems from the environment, with a more stable and reassuring schooling environment, as well as a home environment wherein education is prioritised, students often tend to have better confidence. Additionally, teachers play a major role as students tend to take after them. Thus, showcasing a direct correlation between the education system and the confidence of students.

 Abstract

Background: Age-related declines in sensory, motor, and cognitive domains adversely affect daily functioning in older adults. Eye-hand coordination and reaction time, both vital to independence and mobility, deteriorate with aging, potentially predisposing individuals to disability, accidents, and reduced quality of life. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between eye-hand coordination and reaction time in the geriatric population using standardized assessment tools. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 80 community-dwelling older adults aged 60-69 years, recruited through purposive sampling. Eye-hand coordination was assessed using the Beery Visual Perception (VP) scale, whereas reaction time was measured through the Deary-Liewald Reaction Time (DLRT) task administered via the CogniFit application. Participants meeting independence and cognitive orientation criteria were included. Pearson's correlation coefficient was applied to analyze the association between the two variables using SPSS v.27. Results: The sample included 52 males (65%) and 28 females (35%). Findings revealed that a majority of participants scored low on eye-hand coordination (74%) and exhibited slow reaction times (65%). Pearson analysis demonstrated a significant negative correlation between eye-hand coordination and reaction time (r = -0.675, p < 0.001), indicating that slower responses were associated with reduced coordination capacity. Conclusion: The study provides evidence that age-related motor and cognitive decline jointly deteriorate eye-hand coordination and reaction time in older adults. These impairments negatively affect independence, safety, and quality of life. Incorporating physical activity, cognitive training, and early screening into geriatric health strategies may help mitigate these challenges.

 Abstract

The Internet of Things(IoT) is revolutionizing the healthcare sector, linking better, faster solutions in a fast-evolving and fast-paced era. The following paper illustrates the design and assessment of a Smart Glove Monitoring System for individuals with Down syndrome. The wearable system combines various sensors such as flex sensors, heartbeat and SpO? modules, GPS, and fall detection to ensure ongoing health monitoring and gesture-based interaction. Through the use of IoT through NodeMCU, the system sends real-time health and location information to a cloud platform, enabling caregivers to monitor and react quickly in emergency situations. The glove also has pre-recorded voice reminders triggered by finger gestures, which enable the non-verbal users to communicate simple needs. Experimental results show smooth heart rate and oxygen saturation monitoring, precise gesture recognition within five seconds, and effective GPS tracking in open spaces. Even though indoor GPS accuracy and fall detection dependability need enhancement, the system shows great promise as a low-cost assistive technology improving safety, autonomy, and caregiver assistance for individuals with Down syndrome.
