The article reviews the potential of marine-derived phytochemicals as therapeutic agents against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. It discusses the clinical trials and in silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies of molecules like griffithsin, plitidepsin, and fingolimod. The review suggests that these molecules can bind to key drug targets of SARS-CoV-2 and may have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, which could help manage COVID-19 complications. However, it emphasizes the need for further studies to confirm their efficacy. The article also touches on the broader context of marine-derived natural products in drug development, noting that a significant portion of marketed drugs are derived from natural sources, and highlights the role of marine biodiversity in providing bioactive compounds for pharmaceutical use.

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a treatment conventionally used for T-cell lymphoma subtypes and has been tested for various autoimmune dermatologic diseases. The evidence on ECP's efficacy for dermatologic diseases is unclear or lacks sufficient evidence. This paper reviews literature on ECP's utilization and clinical efficacy in treating autoimmune dermatologic diseases, discussing applications, guidelines, recommendations, and future implementation.

Jay McFarlane, known as 'The Ghost', has become a two-weight Scottish champion after winning the Scottish Area heavyweight contest. The fight took place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow, where McFarlane defeated Mohammed Saleem, who was previously unbeaten. The match ended in the eighth round when the referee stopped the contest. McFarlane, who had previously won the Scottish cruiserweight title in June 2018, has now secured his 15th win from 23 bouts. Promoter Sam Kynoch praised the fight as a great battle. The article also mentions that the 25-year-old boxer is aiming for larger titles and fights in the future.

The article discusses a study focused on the relationship between obesity, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress in obese Black women. It highlights the disproportionate impact of obesity on this demographic and the need for tailored treatment strategies. The study found that oxidative stress biomarkers, such as F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs), are associated with inflammation and prediabetic indices in obese Black women. The research utilized data analysis software and techniques like Pearson's correlation to establish these relationships. The study also noted that Black women have a higher prevalence of obesity compared to other groups and that this demographic is at a higher risk for related comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. The article emphasizes the importance of developing effective prevention strategies and weight maintenance programs for obese Black women.

The article presents a retrospective study assessing the utility of the POPVESL scoring system in managing renal pseudoaneurysms at the Sher-I-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, a referral center in India. The study analyzed patient records from January 2020 to December 2022, using IBM SPSS software for statistical analysis. It was found that renal pseudoaneurysms developed in a small percentage of patients following procedures like percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), renal biopsy, and percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN). The study concluded that a POPVESL score of 11 or above is highly specific and sensitive for necessitating angioembolization, while a score below 11 suggests that conservative management is feasible. The POPVESL scoring system could potentially guide bedside decision-making for managing intrarenal vascular bleeding, reducing the need for costly angioembolization procedures.

The Uttar Pradesh government, under the Bharatiya Janata Party, is planning to introduce the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and is set to organize Qaumi Chaupals across the state to discuss its merits, particularly with the Muslim community. Minister of State for Minority Welfare and Waqf, Danish Azad Ansari, emphasized the importance of public opinion in this decision. The UCC has been a contentious issue, with the All India Muslim Personal Law Board rejecting it as 'anti-minorities' and 'anti-constitutional.' The BJP's commitment to the welfare of all sections of society, including minorities, was highlighted by Ansari, who also criticized previous governments for neglecting Muslims. The BJP has recently seen support from the Muslim community in elections, despite the absence of Muslim legislators in the BJP-led state assembly.

The article discusses the decline of the wooden handicrafts business in Sillanwali, Sargodha, Pakistan, due to high electricity costs and a decrease in buyers. Despite the town's fame for its wooden handicrafts, local craftsmen like Rana Saleem struggle to make ends meet, earning only daily wages while display centre owners make substantial profits. Business owners express dissatisfaction with the lack of government support. However, some, like garments exporter Raza Hussain and industrialist Mian Abdul Hameed, see potential in exporting these handicrafts, particularly to the UK, and call for government action to promote the sector internationally.

A case has been registered by the D-Type Colony police in Faisalabad, Pakistan, on the complaint of Shaukat Ali, a survivor of the 2007 Samjhota Express blast. Ali, who lost five of his children in the incident, has requested the arrest of the perpetrators through Interpol. The blast, which occurred while traveling from Delhi to Lahore, resulted in 68 deaths, including 43 Pakistani citizens. A special court in India acquitted four men accused of the bombing due to a lack of evidence, despite earlier confessions to the media. The accused were allegedly part of a Hindu far-right group, and the attack was investigated by India's NIA. Ali criticized the Indian court's decision for not summoning the surviving victims and for not meeting the fundamentals of justice.
