As a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, strokes present a growing socioeconomic challenge, exacerbated by demographic shifts and an increasing incidence in younger populations. Analyzing post-stroke conditions is essential for predicting recovery trajectories and guiding personalized treatments. The process is crucial for mitigating long-term cognitive deficits and improving the quality of life for stroke survivors and their families. Epigenetic mechanisms are emerging as key influencers, with four significant modulators—miRNAs, lncRNAs, DNA methylation, and histone modifications—being identified as central to modulating neuronal repair and regeneration. However, this is a lack of knowledge as to how major epigenetic signatures affect post-stroke recovery. The paper systematically reviews the capacity of miRNAs to fine-tune neuroprotective responses and the broader regulatory functions of lncRNAs. Additionally, we examine how shifts in DNA methylation patterns and histone modifications correlate with stroke outcomes, presenting a case for precise epigenetic therapies. In this review, we highlight that these modulators offer promising therapeutic targets for enhancing recovery and provide novel insights into stroke pathology and treatment. We also offer a comparative analysis of the four modulators and present the challenges and future perspectives for each one. The review sets forth a trajectory for future research, underscoring the development of novel epigenetic-based therapeutics as a groundbreaking approach to enhance post-stroke neurorehabilitation and improve patient prognoses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72080,"journal":{"name":"Advances in biomarker sciences and technology","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 120-137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2543106424000115/pdfft?md5=148aa923fa3b4759b5c61bc6be5aeced&pid=1-s2.0-S2543106424000115-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141605452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifty male albino rats were randomly assigned to five groups: control, induced arthritis, induced arthritis treated with black seed oil, induced arthritis treated with hydroxychloroquine, and induced arthritis treated with a combination of black seed oil and hydroxychloroquine. Arthritis was induced in the rats using single dose of 0.1 ml of Complete Freunds Adjuvant. Biochemical and genetic analyses of signaling transducers (IFNγ, IL-4, STAT3, and IL-12) were conducted on blood samples and stifle joints. Results indicated that induced arthritis led to elevated serum AST, ALT activities, creatinine, urea, FBS, RF, Anti-CCP, and CRP, along with reduced serum TAC. Additionally, there was an upregulation of IL-12, IFNγ, and STAT3 genes, and a downregulation of IL-4 gene compared to the normal control group. Treatment with black seed oil or hydroxychloroquine individually demonstrated notable improvements in these parameters, although the combined treatment showed less marked improvement.

Normal glycosylation regulates healthy cell function, while alterations, particularly in fucosylation and sialylation, contribute to lung cancer development and progression. These aberrant glycosylation patterns are associated with processes such as immune modulation, cell migration, proliferation, and cell-cell recognition. Fucosylation, a specific type of glycosylation, is frequently altered in lung cancer, with high levels detected in tumors. Understanding the mechanisms behind this altered fucosylation holds immense potential. It can pave the way for the development of novel therapeutic and diagnostic tools for lung cancer.

Its widespread use across sectors is driven by its ability to eliminate waste, reduce errors, boost revenue, and enhance customer care and efficiency. In the healthcare sector, this fourth lean revolution is particularly beneficial, as it helps to curb wastage and enhance efficiency, leading to more effective outcomes. Lean 4.0, a globally recognized best practice for industrial organisations, has proven its worth in enhancing performance and competitiveness. Its success has led to its adoption not only in manufacturing but also in non-manufacturing sectors such as Healthcare, finance, telecommunications, construction, and logistics. Its ease of use and effectiveness make it a superior alternative to traditional medical waste management techniques. Relevant papers on Lean 4.0 for Healthcare in the current literature are identified and studied to evaluate the impact of Lean 4.0 principles in Healthcare. This review-based research studies Lean 4.0 technologies and their needs in Healthcare. It discusses sustainable support for the healthcare sphere through Lean 4.0. Paper briefs several modalities of Lean 4.0 for the healthcare domain. Finally, the paper identifies and discusses the significant applications of Lean 4.0 in Healthcare. Lean 4.0 is essential to lowering errors that lead to medical mistakes since this business deals with life-or-death situations. Healthcare institutions need to reduce their overall waste reduction. With Lean 4.0, staff members working in quality management, clinical operations, consulting, and patient experience can progress into leadership roles in the healthcare sector. Lean 4.0 technologies can reduce waste production, including employing reusable medical equipment or cutting down on packaging waste. The possible difficulty of integrating digital technologies with healthcare systems and practices is Lean 4.0's limitations for the healthcare industry. Healthcare institutions can use refillable syringes and other disposable items to reduce waste rather than disposable plastic syringes. In future, healthcare institutions may save costs and lessen their environmental effect by minimising trash by using lean 4.0 technologies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72080,"journal":{"name":"Advances in biomarker sciences and technology","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 138-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2543106424000127/pdfft?md5=cb3207d4120894b22c39ecd012cbb1b4&pid=1-s2.0-S2543106424000127-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141963708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
