Therapeutic Potential of Rivastigmine for Managing Complications Associated with Ischemic Stroke /

By Abbasi, Irum Naeem . . 80p. , Stroke continues to be the world’s primary cause of morbidity and mortality, frequently with incapacitating consequences like movement dysfunction, cognitive decline, and neurological impairments. It is essential to manage stroke effectively to lessen its negative effects and enhance patient outcomes. The potential neuroprotective benefits of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors may assist maintain the integrity of brain tissue and lessen the damage that neurons may sustain after a stroke, making them a promising option in this situation. This comprehensive thesis explores the neuroprotective benefits of an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, Rivastigmine, in relation to stroke outcomes in a variety of ways. Using an advanced integrative methodology, this study includes behavioral evaluations, in silico analysis, histopathological results, and molecular studies to give a comprehensive picture of the possible mechanisms behind therapeutic effects of Rivastigmine. Within the field of computer modelling, the docking interactions between SOD2 and TLR4, the target proteins of Rivastigmine, provide detailed structural information that directs further experimental validations. Following Rivastigmine treatment, the behavioral tests conducted exhibited improvements in cognitive, motor, and social domains. These results were further corroborated by histopathological analysis, which shows neuroprotective effects in Rivastigmine treated group as opposed to surgery (MCAO) group. Post Rivastigmine treatment, real-time PCR data showed a rise in SOD2 and a decrease in TLR4 levels in surgery (MCAO) rats, exhibiting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Rivastigmine. These findings provide interesting directions for future neuroprotective approaches and shed light on the possible therapeutic implications of Rivastigmine in reducing neurodegeneration that occurs in stroke. 30cm.

Study the effect of shallow cryogenic treatment on mechanical and microstructural properties of 30CrMnSiA steel heat treated in vacuum furnace and Box Type conventional air furnace /

By Aslam, Muhammad Danyal . . 50p. , Heat treatment plays a major role in improving the material properties. With the addition of cryogenic treatment these properties can be further improved. In this paper heat treatment is carried out on low carbon low alloy structural steel in two different types of furnaces conventional box type air furnace and vacuum furnace along with shallow cryogenic treatment with the purpose to investigate the outcome of shallow cryogenic treatment on the material properties and to find out which type of furnace is more suitable with shallow cryogenic treatment. For this purpose, structural steel 30CrMnSiA was selected, and heat treatment was carried out in conventional box type air furnace (900°C × 40mins) and vacuum furnaces (900°C × 70mins), shallow cryogenic treatment (-75°C × 125mins) was carried out after the quenching and before tempering. For the physical properties of the material, hardness (HRC) was investigated using Brinell hardness tester HBD-62-5AP. Tensile samples were prepared as per ASTM E8/E8M and investigated using 100kN WAW-100B Electro-Hydraulic Servo Computer Control Universal Testing Machine. Impact toughness was measured by using electronic pendulum impact testing machine CBD-300 and specimens were prepared using ASTM standard E23-12c. Microstructural analysis for grain structure was carried out using Olympus DSX1000 optical microscope. 30cm.

pH-Responsive Aloe Vera Hydrogels Loaded with Imatinib for Targeting Drug Resistance in Cancer /

By Hasan Khan ,Aroob. . 77p. ; , Cancer and its reoccurrence have become a major health problem affecting the quality of life for millions of individuals every year. The currently available strategies, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy have non-specific targets, lower solubility, and severe side effects. Hydrogels are crosslinked polymeric networks with higher swelling properties, degradation, biocompatibility, and flexibility which can be manipulated based on the desired application. Incorporating AV can elevate the antioxidant, and anticancer properties of the hydrogel based drug delivery system (DDS) also warranting enhanced swelling, drug release, and environmental degradability of the system. Acrylic acid (AA) induces pH-responsive properties in the hydrogels. The PVA/SA and PVA/SA/AV hydrogels were synthesized with a pH responsive behavior and investigated at different pH conditions. The unloaded and loaded PVA/SA and PVA/SA/AV hydrogels with imatinib (IM) were characterized for their structural morphology, physiochemical characteristics, and antioxidant and anticancer activity. The IM loaded PVA/SA/AV hydrogels showed increased pore size in SEM micrographs, enhanced swelling abilities up to 400%, 100% degradation, 56% encapsulation efficiency, and drug release profiles of up to 94% in 24 h, compared to PVA/SA hydrogels loaded with IM. Dpph radical scavenging activity was also observed to be enhanced in PVA/SA/AV hydrogels. Finally, the cell viability analysis in resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines exhibited 41% cell viability of the PVA/SA/AV hydrogels loaded with IM implying a promising potential of AV to be incorporated in a hydrogel based drug delivery system for targeting drug resistance in cancer. 30cm..

Advanced nanocarriers for skin diseases /

By Khan, Rida Khalid. . 68p. , The development and evaluation of an advanced nanocarrier hydrogel system designed to address the major barriers in diabetic wound healing, specifically targeting chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, bacterial infection, and impaired angiogenesis. This therapeutic system integrates cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO₂), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and a chitosan-gelatin hydrogel platform to create a multifunctional wound dressing. CeO₂ nanoparticles provide strong antioxidant and antibacterial activity, MOFs enable controlled drug release and add antimicrobial properties, while the chitosan-gelatin hydrogel ensures biocompatibility, moisture retention, and accelerated tissue repair. Comprehensive characterization, including Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, UV-Vis, EDX analysis, and optical microscopy, confirmed successful synthesis, structural integrity, and the presence of desired functional groups. Biological assays demonstrated superior antibacterial and antibiofilm performance of the CeZn-Gel composite against E. coli and S. aureus, surpassing individual system components and controls. The integrated approach not only enhances wound healing outcomes but also reduces infection and inflammation, with significant potential for improving patient quality of life in chronic wound care. Future work will focus on optimizing formulation and advancing toward clinical testing for broader therapeutic impact. 30cm.

Automated Karyotyping: Segmentation and Classification /

By Umbreen, Neelam. . 130p. , Karyotyping continues to be the bedrock of cytogenetic diagnosis, providing key information on chromosomal abnormalities causative of a broad range of genetic disorders, developmental abnormalities, and cancers. But standard karyotyping is time-consuming, requires extensive specialist interpretation, and is vulnerable to human mistake and inefficiency, especially in high-volume clinical settings. Despite advances in medical image analysis, the automation of karyotyping faces persistent challenges, including the lack of large-scale annotated datasets, difficulties in segmenting overlapping chromosomes, and variability in chromosome morphology and staining. These challenges define a significant research gap in developing scalable, accurate, and clinically deployable deep learning models for automated chromosome analysis. In order to overcome this gap, we first present a large-scale, clinically annotated cytogenetic database, built from 1,311 patients and consisting of 10,057 karyograms with 514,949 manually annotated chromosome singlets. Furthermore, 3,935 metaphase images are annotated at the instance level in COCO format. This data set reflects true-world diversity, ranging from normal and abnormal karyotypes to different Giemsa (G-banding) staining intensities, structural abnormalities, and overlapping difficult cases, and thus presents a solid basis for the creation and testing of deep learning models within automated cytogenetics. Based on this work, we create two primary methodologies aimed at the fundamental tasks of karyotyping. For segmentation of chromosomes, we introduce a variant Mask R-CNN model involving an Attention-based Feature Pyramid Network (AttFPN), spatial attention, and a LastLevelMaxPool component to improve multi-scale feature representation and contextual perception. It enhances performance in difficult situations, including overlapping chromosomes and weak banding patterns, and gains considerable improvements in mean Average Precision (mAP) compared to standard baselines. For chromosome classification, we present the Dual Attention Multiscale Pyramid Network (DAMP), a specifically designed model that combines channel and spatial attention mechanisms to concentrate on discriminative features, as well as a multiscale pyramid architecture to cope with size, orientation, and quality variation in chromosomes. DAMP's highest classification accuracy is 96.76% on both public and commercial datasets, performingxv better than state-of-the-art models like ResNet-50, Vision Transformers, and Siamese Networks. Overall, this thesis provides interpretable and scalable deep learning models for automating chromosome classification and segmentation. Through the closure of key gaps in dataset quality, model resilience, and clinical utility, the work facilitates the insertion of clever decision-support systems into cytogenetic pipelines, ultimately leading to improved diagnostic reliability and efficiency in the face of chromosomal disorders. 30cm.

Customization of 3D-Printed Knee Implants: Design Optimization and Lattice Structure Integration fo Enhanced Performance /

By Ahmad, Fatima Ajaz . . 93p. , Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgeries are becoming increasingly common globally as an effective measure to counter knee arthritis. Total knee replacement implants are very advantageous in a sense that they offer 99% success rate to patients. This thesis presents the design, simulation and additive manufacturing of a patient specific, Functionally Graded Lattice Structure (FGLS) knee implant in Ti 6Al-4V alloy with specific reference to the healthcare situation in Pakistan. This was to explore the local manufacturing facilities of Pakistan as all knee implants are imported from abroad. The strategy involved a high degree of workflow consisting of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), finite element analysis (FEA), and topology optimization using nTopology to create Gyroid-based lattice work. The structures were to resemble the trabecular bone structure to ensure that stiffness discrepancies were minimized. This helped counter only one drawback of solid knee implants, stress shielding. The simulations of the physiological loading conditions (static and cyclic) demonstrated a Von Mises peak of 620.45 Mpa and safety factor of 12.66 on the average and unlimited predicted life of fatigue of over 10^7 cycles. The use of FGLS was effective in making the weight of 490 g to 292, leading to a 40 percent weight reduction, with no structural integrity lost. Selective Laser Melding (SLM) was used to fabricate the implant and the heat treatment allowed stress relieving of the additively manufactured implant. Compressive testing was also mechanically vindicated to be on an of average 95.02 kN with little variation and Micro-CT scanning confirmed high dimensional fidelity and showed internal lattice geometries without defects. According to this research, SLM produced FGLS implants usage has proven to be an option to traditional prosthetics, which is mechanically stable, biologically desirable, and cost-effective, and has a bright future of being a locally manufactured orthopedics product. 30cm.
