Plant Hormones and Their Applications: Plant growth and development are controlled by a group of naturally occurring chemical substances known as plant hormones or phytohormones. These hormones are produced in very small quantities within different parts of the plant and act as chemical messengers that regulate various physiological and biochemical processes. Unlike nutrients, which are…
Factors Influencing Cultivation of Medicinal Plants: Medicinal plants have been used as valuable sources of therapeutic agents since ancient times and continue to play a crucial role in modern healthcare systems.

The sense of smell is important not only for…
Pathophysiology of Vertigo: Vertigo is a false sensation of movement, usually described as spinning, turning, tilting, or the surroundings moving when they are actually stationary.

Pathophysiology of Otitis Media: Otitis media (OM) is an inflammatory disorder of the middle ear cavity that commonly develops following Eustachian tube dysfunction, often in association with an upper respiratory tract infection. It may involve accumulation of fluid, inflammation, and infection within the middle ear. The condition is particularly common in children because their Eustachian…
Pathophysiology of Otitis Externa: Otitis externa is an inflammatory or infectious condition of the external auditory canal, commonly known as “swimmer’s ear.” It occurs when the protective mechanisms of the ear canal are disrupted, allowing microorganisms to multiply and cause inflammation. The most common bacterial cause is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, although other bacteria and fungi may…
Pathophysiology of Myopia: Myopia (short-sightedness) is a refractive error in which a person can see nearby objects clearly, but distant objects appear blurred. In myopia, light rays from a distant object are focused in front of the retina rather than directly on the retina. Step 1: Normal Refraction of Light Normally, light entering the eye…
Pathophysiology of Cataract: Cataract is a condition in which the normally transparent crystalline lens of the eye becomes progressively opaque, resulting in reduced transmission of light to the retina and causing blurred or decreased vision. Cataract develops because of structural and biochemical changes in lens proteins, particularly crystallins, along with oxidative stress, disruption of lens…
