Brucellosis is a significant zoonotic disease with substantial public health and economic implications, particularly in regions with high animal husbandry activities. This study aims to investigate the seroprevalence of brucellosis in Western Rajasthan, a region known for its livestock-based economy, over a one-year period. The study involved the collection of blood samples from both livestock (cattle, buffaloes, sheep, and goats) and humans (farmers, veterinarians, and animal handlers) to determine the presence of Brucella antibodies using serological tests such as the Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A total of 1,000 animal samples and 500 human samples were analyzed. The results indicated a high seroprevalence of brucellosis in both livestock and human populations, with cattle showing the highest seroprevalence rate. The study also identified potential risk factors for transmission, including close contact with animals, poor hygiene practices, and the consumption of unpasteurized milk. The findings highlight the urgent need for enhanced surveillance, preventive measures, and public awareness campaigns in the region to mitigate the spread of brucellosis. This study provides valuable insights into the epidemiology of brucellosis in Western Rajasthan and emphasizes the importance of integrated control strategies in zoonotic disease management.

The research looks into the impact of type II diabetes mellitus on the severity, disability, and rehabilitation outcomes in ischemic stroke patients. Employing the IMRAD system-Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion-the study investigates how T2DM affects the course and recovery from stroke. There is a high burden of stroke and diabetes comorbidity on health care because the presence of one disease contributes to increased disability rates with complex rehabilitation needs. The introduction discusses the relevance of studying T2DM and stroke's dual burden. Diabetes reduces vascular health, so this condition will further worsen neurological outcomes when combined with stroke. This research covers the knowledge gap regarding T2DM's effect on stroke recovery and offers the healthcare provider insight. Material and Methods: This study elucidates the approach taken. Participants were divided into a diabetic and a non-diabetic group. Neurological impairment was measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and functional independence by the Barthel Index. Data was collected at key recovery stages, allowing for a comparative analysis of outcomes. Results indicate that T2DM patients had more severe neurological deficits and slower recovery compared to non-diabetic stroke patients. Higher NIHSS scores at admission and lower Barthel Index scores during follow-up pointed out that diabetic patients had greater disability. This study concluded that T2DM increases the risk of long-term disability and, therefore, requires tailored rehabilitation strategies. The Discussion points to the requirement for an individual approach in the management of stroke patients with T2DM. It suggests early glycemic control and an integrated care model involving neurologists, endocrinologists, and rehabilitation physicians. Personalized rehabilitation protocols focusing on functional independence are essential for diabetic stroke patients. The study calls for recognizing T2DM as a critical factor in stroke management, advocating for patient-centered care to improve outcomes. T2DM significantly impacts stroke severity, recovery, and rehabilitation outcomes. Patients with T2DM face more severe neurological deficits, slower recovery, and higher risks of long-term disability. The importance of early intervention, glycemic control, and tailored rehabilitation for this high-risk group cannot be overemphasized. This study emphasizes the integration of diabetes management into stroke care to achieve better recovery and functional independence.

Recent advancements in obstetrics and gynecology have led to significant improvements in the management of pregnancy-related conditions, reproductive health, and maternal mental well-being. This article highlights key research findings from various studies published in reputable journals. Notable advancements include using antioxidants to reduce preeclampsia risk, the efficacy of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for early diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities, and the increasing emphasis on maternal mental health during the perinatal period. Furthermore, studies regarding the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy outcomes reveal the importance of vaccination in mitigating risks. In the field of reproductive technologies, innovative protocols for ovarian stimulation are improving success rates for in vitro fertilization (IVF), particularly in older women. These developments underscore the dynamic landscape of obstetrics and gynecology, with ongoing research shaping practices to enhance maternal and fetal health.

Key advancements, such as minimally invasive methods, the introduction of advanced suture materials, and innovative postoperative monitoring techniques, are examined. By integrating a multidisciplinary approach and emphasizing individualized patient care, the article highlights the importance of these optimizations in enhancing recovery and overall treatment success for children undergoing thoracic surgery.

This study examines the relationship between technological progress and financial development in China, a rapidly growing economy that has experienced significant advancements in both sectors in recent decades. The research investigates how technological innovations, including digital finance, fintech, and information and communication technology (ICT), have impacted the growth and structure of China’s financial system. By utilizing a combination of econometric models and qualitative analysis, the study explores the direct and indirect effects of technological developments on key indicators of financial development such as access to financial services, efficiency in financial transactions, and overall market growth. The findings suggest that technological progress has played a pivotal role in driving financial inclusion, improving the efficiency of financial services, and facilitating economic growth. However, challenges such as regulatory frameworks, cybersecurity concerns, and disparities in technology access between rural and urban areas are identified as barriers to fully realizing the potential benefits of technology in financial development. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and technology companies aiming to foster a more inclusive and efficient financial system in China.

A descriptive correlation design was used in the current study conducted to assess the relationship of time management in relieving work stress from the period of 9th May, 2024 to 30th June, 2024. A purposive (non-probability) sample of (95) Teaching staff and staff worked at the college of nursing, university of karbala. The data were, were based on a dual-part self-report questionnaire. Part one consisted of questions about the participants' traits; Part two covered time management in its four dimensions (time planning, time organization, time direction, and time control); and Part three included work stress in its three dimensions (role ambiguity, role conflict, role burden) collected through interviews. Data were analyzed and interpreted through use application of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version (IBM 26). The result of the present study showed work stress domain three have significant correlation with domain four and overall time management.
