Diagnosis and Treatment of Protozoan Diseases: An Update
(CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group), 2025) Jahanarah Khatoon, Namira Sana, Swati Saxena, Snober S. Mir
Chapter 3 provides an extensive and up-to-date summary of the methods used to diagnose and treat protozoan infections. Millions of people are affected every year by these parasitic illnesses, which are caused by single-celled eukaryotic organisms known as protozoans. Several protozoan disorders, such as amoebic infections, trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and malaria, are discussed in detail. The concept of drug repurposing, which offers several advantages, including shorter development timelines and reduced costs, is considered an alternative for several current antiparasitic drugs. Healthcare professionals, researchers, and students who want to learn more about the most recent developments in this area will find this chapter a useful resource. This chapter also highlights the principles and applications of modern diagnostic techniques, therapeutic philosophies, components, and upcoming therapeutic choices, along with highlighting the merits and demerits of former methods employed for the diagnosis of these protozoan diseases. This chapter equips the reader with a vital tool for combating protozoan diseases and enhancing patient care through the integration of scientific insights with practical guidance.
Natural Compounds and Oxidative Stress Management
(Springer, Singapore, 2025) Ruchi Yadav, Namira Sana, Uzma Afaq, Chand Bibi, Jahanarah Khatoon
Natural compounds and their bioactive derivatives are rich sources of antioxidants, including flavonoids, anthocyanin, polyphenols, lignans, carotenoids, and vitamins. Antioxidants can manage oxidative stress-related infections and chronic inflammation by boosting the immune system. A resilient immune system will neutralize harmful free radicals in our body and reduce their levels. The trigger factor for production of oxidative stress is an imbalanced state between free radical formations to available antioxidants present in the body. Natural plant extracts exhibit multi-therapeutic effects by modulating diverse biochemical pathways. Additionally, the lower toxicity associated with natural products and their secondary metabolites reduces the risk of side effects. Antioxidants can regulate both stress-induced signaling pathways and oxidative defensive pathways. Secondary metabolites extracted from natural compounds exhibit both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Antioxidants’ ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) makes them promising candidates for treating several illnesses, such as neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and cancer. This book chapter highlights the therapeutic effects ingrained in natural sources of antioxidants and tries to shed light on exploring the exact mechanism behind the therapeutic effects.

Improving the worldwide significance of mental health to form the educational experience of students continues to acquire greater recognition in present times, more than ever before. The present paper discusses the Happiness Curriculum, which is instituted in government schools in Delhi, as a ground-breaking research initiative to improve mental health. The paper explores the effectiveness of the curriculum to promote emotional and psychological well-being and social solidarity amongst school- going children. Using an in-depth scrutiny of the content of the curriculum, its execution, and its results, this paper identifies how a subject like mental health can be incorporated into the school curriculum in a manner meaningful. The study also reflects upon issues and potential in expanding mental health education to other learning systems. This paper provides an insight into the potential of the Happiness Curriculum by looking at the experiences of the teachers, students, and administrators in this curriculum as a model to other learning institutions across the world.
AI ethics in educational domain: An exploration from stakeholders' perspective
(Taylor & Francis, London, 2026) Meenal Rawat, Eram Aziz, Yamya Tiwari, Khushi Sharma, Mira Mishra, Bushra Sumaiya
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the educational landscape swiftly. It’s enhancing the learning and the learning environment. From personalized learning to assessments, AI is being used extensively by the students. It has a significant potential to transform traditional education forever and also to advance the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) of quality education. However, it comes with its own challenges, the biggest one being its ethical implications. Integration of AI in education is revolutionizing learning but at the same time there is a growing concern, particularly among the students because they are the primary stakeholders in this revolutionizing space as they interact directly with the technology. This research explores the ethical implications of integrating AI in education. The study adopts a questionnaire approach where data is collected from the different stakeholders including students, teachers and parents. The findings indicate that all the stakeholders express their concern over the ethical use of AI.
