ILLUSTRATIVE CASES IN PSYCHIATRY

Ali Muhammad Qazi — 2025-06-22

Illustrative Cases in Psychiatry is a compelling and practical guide for students, clinicians, and mental health professionals. Through a series of real-world case studies, this book explores the full spectrum of psychiatric disorders, from depression and anxiety to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and more. Each case is thoughtfully presented with patient history, diagnosis, treatment plan, and clinical insights, providing readers with a clear and relatable understanding of complex mental health conditions.

Designed to bridge theory and practice, Illustrative Cases in Psychiatry helps readers sharpen diagnostic skills, enhance clinical reasoning, and gain deeper empathy for those living with mental illness. Whether you're in training or actively practicing, this book offers an engaging way to build confidence and competence in psychiatric care.

A Comprehensive Overview of Bioinformatics Applications in Forensic Science Related to Omics and Odontology

Muhammad Salman Khan — 2025-06-22

This study explores the incorporation of bioinformatics into forensic odontology, focuses on applications like tooth DNA analysis, ancestry estimate, illness detection, and age estimates. It surveys the studies, examines the benefits and drawbacks, and demonstrates how bioinformatics enhances forensic investigations using actual case studies. Future research should include computational models, validation testing, technology, and ethical issues thus advancing bioinformatics in forensic odontology for the advantage of science, public health, and justice. Forensic odontology relies on bioinformatics, which applies 'omics' techniques like genomes, epigenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics to identify humans and animals, set postmortem intervals, and collaborate on investigations. While epigenomics and transcriptomics provide insight on gene expression patterns in tooth tissues, genetic analysis and DNA profiling enhance the accuracy of forensic dentistry. While proteomics might assist in finding possibly dangerous chemicals in biological samples, metabolomics and lipidomics could be rather useful for dental diseases and drug use patterns. Combining 'omics' with bioinformatics techniques would allow for the analysis of more complete datasets, therefore enabling more accurate measurements of lipids and proteins and a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms operating in dental diseases. By highlighting important identification and forensic application issues, bioinformatics enhances forensic odontology.
