The ever-increasing demand of plastics in the world and their consequent disastrous effects on environment, a suitable environmental-friendly substitute like bioplastics/biodegradable plastics is the need time. Biobased plastics or bioplastics are made from renewable resources, such as corn, potatoes, soy, sugarcane, yam, wheat, and vegetable oil. With the price of oil rising and scarce resources of petroleum, tremendous efforts are being put by researchers to explore a proper and proven alternative to petroleum-based plastics (bio-waste, starch, cellulose, etc).

Del Nido cardioplegia is a favored choice in pediatric cardiac surgery, known for its unique composition with lidocaine to counteract potassium-induced depolarization, minimizing interruptions and enhancing surgical efficiency. Recent research extends its application to adult cardiac surgery, affirming its safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness. Limited availability of the standard base solution, Plasmalyte-A, in some regions hinders its use. An alternative approach with lactated Ringer's solution has been explored.

Introduction: Acute appendicitis is still one of the common diseases in surgical practice. But most of the time appendicitis does not have its classical presentation. So the diagnosis of atypical presentation is challenging. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of Modified Alvarado, LINTULA, Ohmann, Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPASA), and Tzanakis scores in predicting the need for appendectomy in Acute Appendicitis patients.

The primary objective of this research report is to explore and analyse advancements in deep learning models for the automated detection and classification of lung cancer across diverse medical imaging modalities. Drawing insights from four distinct research papers, we aim to synthesize key findings, methodologies, and outcomes to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in the field.

The Dynamic Substitution boxes are generated initially using the Logistic map and piece-wise linear chaotic map method. The chaotic behavior is introduced through the Logistic map, which is utilized to select one of a thousand S-boxes and determine the row and column of the selected S-box. The algorithm combines the advantages of keyed Latin square and affine-power-affine transformation to encrypt digital images that are highly correlated. This process results in an encrypted image that maintains a high level of performance and security.

The concept of Roga-Marga is an unique contribution of Ayurveda in the field of clinical medicine. After narrating this concept in Nirdesa Chatuska, no where the clear cut and direct role of Roga Marga has been given but all the indirect scattered references show its application all over the Samhita. Acharya Charaka explained this concept with due emphasis in context of Tisraisaniya in NirdesaChatuska, which itself indicates its importance. Literally, the Rogamarga refers to the path of disease.
