Overview of Minerals and Vitamins
Abstract
Vitamins and minerals are key for maintaining good health and bodily functions. Vitamins are important for metabolism and are classified into two groups based on solubility: water-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin C and B-complex) and fat-soluble vitamins (including vitamin A, D, E, and K). Water-soluble vitamins aid energy generation and antioxidant defense, while fat-soluble vitamins improve vision, skeletal strength, and the immune system. Mineral elements like calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium are vital for structural support, nerve function, and electrolyte balance. Imbalances in the body can cause conditions like osteoporosis or hypertension. A good diet usually meets these needs, but sometimes extra nutrients are needed. Understanding the importance of these nutrients is crucial for maintaining well-being, preventing deficiencies, and avoiding toxicities. Consulting with healthcare professionals or dietitians can provide expert guidance on customizing nutrient intake for overall wellness. Knowing about vitamins and minerals boosts overall well-being.

Glimpsing Nature’s Eye Guardians: A Comparative Analysis of the Nictitating Membrane in Birds and Mammals
Abstract
This review examines the nictitating membrane, a specialized third eyelid present in various animal groups, and its relation to the plica semilunaris. It highlights the distinctive features of the nictitating membrane in birds, its sophisticated neuro-muscular mechanism, and its protective role in maintaining vision. Besides this, the study investigates the plica semilunaris of mammals and illustrates its structural complexities, including a cartilaginous base, and its role in clearing foreign particles from the eye. Microscopic analyses of both structures in birds and mammals reveal unique tissue compositions and glandular arrangements, further elucidating their functional disparities. Particularly, the examination underscores the differences in the neuro-muscular apparatus in mammals compared to birds, emphasizing the presence of two distinct mechanisms controlled by different cranial nerves. The study proposes the use of the terms "plica intercipiens" and "cartilage intercipiens" to accurately describe these structures. Additionally, it emphasizes the necessity of exploring the ontogeny of mammalian structures to understand their morphological distinctions from the nictitating membrane fully. Overall, this review emphasizes the critical need for a comprehensive understanding of the protective eye mechanisms across different animal species, contributing to our knowledge of their evolutionary adaptations and functional significance.

Celiac disease-Management through diet and lifestyle changest and
Abstract
Human digestive disease that causes damage to the human small intestine, as a result of which the absorption of nutrients from food is disturbed, which further leads to malnutrition and weight loss. People who are suffering from this disease are not able to tolerate a food protein called gluten. Gluten is a protein that is normally found in food components like wheat, barley, oats, and rye. Normally in the human body, this protein is digested, but in celiac disease patients, these peptides are more resistant to digestive enzymes (GI enzymes), and as a result of this, they reach the small intestine in their undigested form, where they cause certain damage to the intestine.

Advance Serological and Molecular Techniques for Diagnosis of Toxoplasmosis
Abstract
Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease which is prevalent globally. The causative agent of it is Toxoplasma gondii which is an intracellular protozoan parasite .This parasite is important in both medical and veterinary fields. Main route of transmission of disease is eating undercooked meat that contains viable tissues or drinking water and food that has been contaminated by oocysts. More than 60% populations are affected throughout the word with T. gondii. Abortion at third trimester is main clinical sign of disease in both humans and animals. Toxoplasmosis is traditionally diagnosed using etiological, immunological, and imaging techniques. Now-a-days, diagnosis is improved by using serological and molecular testing. Molecular testing amplifies the nucleic acid of parasites. PCR, a molecular technique is used for genetic characterization of T. gondii. Serological testing is the most common method of diagnosing toxicosis. An IgG test is used to determine if a person is infected. An IgM test is used to try to guess how long it will take to become infected, especially in pregnant women. IgM is used in combination with other tests, such as the avidity test. Clindamycin is drug of choice.

Rabies in the Modern World: Challenges and Prevention Strategies for Human Health
Abstract
Rabies is a viral zoonotic disease, spreading all over the world because of lack of proper control. The discovery of the first vaccine for rabies was done by Louis Pasteur with a desire to abolish or at least control rabies. Despite that, various characteristics of the virulence of rabies are not known. Contemptible or cautious vaccines for animals, in addition to human beings, are also available. Rabies among foxes and raccoons is going to be reduced by the use of vaccines. Its awareness is important to know how can we control rabies and how we can protect ourselves from rabid animals. Future research has a significant point on the utilization of animal miniatures to enhance understanding of the pathogenicity of rabies and for the discovery of new medicinal attitudes. Rabies is an infectious disease prevalent in wild animals. Rabies is a viral disease that is spread by infliction or injury by an infected animal. It is a zoonotic disease, which causes irreversible brain damage. The first vaccination was done by Louis Pasteur and after that, the vaccine was practiced. Still, multiple cases are reported in developing and undeveloped countries. Awareness of rabies, control of the wild canine population, and vaccination of pets are key factors in controlling rabies.

Cinnamaldehyde as a Potential Antibiotic Substitute against Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria during Antimicrobial Resistant Challenges
Abstract
Cinnamaldehyde, found in cinnamon essential oils, has been found to obstruct harmful bacteria both in laboratory experiments and in human food. Conformist antibiotics and antibacterial drugs have been effective in obstructing bacterial infections, but their excessive use has directed the development of resistant bacterial strains. There is a growing issue with bacteria becoming resistant to conformist antibiotics, causing a need for alternative strategies to conflict with antimicrobial resistance. In this context, scientists are looking at natural compounds like cinnamaldehyde, which has potent antimicrobial properties. Additionally, they have successfully developed analogous compounds that exhibit even better efficacy as compared to regular conformist antibiotics. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms through which these compound exert their antimicrobial properties is crucial for making new antimicrobial drugs. This review critically scrutinizes about current state of knowledge concerning these compounds and their mechanisms of action in combating bacterial pathogens. The decisive object is to leverage this information to overlay the technique for the development of innovative and more effective antimicrobial drugs in the future, thereby addressing the emerging challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
