What advantages come from eating well?

Pharmaceutical Review (Associate Editor) All of the major food groups, including lean proteins, whole grains, healthy fats, and colorful fruits and vegetables, are typically represented in a healthy diet by nutrient-dense foods. Trans fats, added salt, and sugar-containing meals should be swapped out for more nutrient-dense alternatives as part of healthy eating practices. A nutritious diet has several advantages, such as strengthening bones, defending the heart, preventing sickness, and elevating mood. The connection between trans fats and conditions connected to the heart, like coronary heart disease, has long been understood by the medical profession. By preventing cell damage, consuming foods rich in antioxidants can help people lower their risk of getting cancer. Beta carotene, lycopene, and vitamins A, C, and E are just a few of the phytochemicals that can be found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes and function as antioxidants.

How Junk Food Fuels the Obesity Crisis?

Pharmaceutical Review (Associate Editor) Obesity is currently a global problem that increases the chance of developing chronic illnesses including diabetes and heart disease. Despite the fact that junk food can contribute to obesity, our fast-paced way of life has made it more commonplace. When you are balancing school, sports, and hanging out with friends and family, life may be extremely busy. As a result of the convenience, deliciousness, and affordability of junk food, cooking and eating wholesome prepared meals has mostly been supplanted. Junk food includes items from fast food chains like burgers, fried chicken, and pizza as well as packaged items like chips, biscuits, and ice cream, sugar-sweetened beverages like soda, fatty meats like bacon, sugary cereals, and frozen ready meals like lasagna. Typically, these meals have undergone extensive processing.

Increasing the Boundaries of Central Nervous System and the Brain.

Pharmaceutical Reviews( Associate Editor) The Central Nervous System (CNS), which includes the brain, is the final major unexplored area in biomedicine. The principles of the brain/CNS are substantially unknown when compared to other organs and systems, such as the heart/circulatory system. The brain is much less understood than other human organs in terms of structure-function correlations and cell-cell communication. Recently, research institutes devoted to the study of the brain have been established, informal networks of scholars such as the European Brain Council have been built, and numerous millions of dollars have been invested in research grants and biotech initiatives, but we are just now beginning to lay the groundwork.

Disease in the Modern World

Pharmaceutical Review (Associate Editor) The ecology of diseases changes along with the climate. The evolution of metabolic illnesses changes along with human gastronomy. The resurgence of once-nearly eliminated illnesses reflects changes in human beliefs. Life expectancy also changes as a result of human lifestyle. All told, the spread of subtropical pathogens (like the Dengue virus) into the north, the rise of high-calorie diets as a public health concern in more and more parts of the world, the acceptance of anti-vaccine ideologies that have led to the resurgence of previously controlled diseases like the measles, and the impending threat of cardiovascular diseases to life expectancy are causing the global map of endemic malignancies to change rapidly.

Shaukat Khanum Pink Tea Party

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women around the world and it is still a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. It is also the most common cancer seen at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centres in Pakistan. The causes of breast cancer are not known with certainty and research into this continues. Early detection of breast cancer is the best protection for now and you can play your part in spreading this life-saving message.
This October, you can help us raise awareness about breast cancer by organizing a Shaukat Khanum Pink Tea Party from anywhere in the world and receive your Shaukat Khanum Pink Tea Party Kit containing breast cancer informational material.
As a host, invite your friends or colleagues to your Pink Tea Party at your house or any other convenient place and share information about the importance of early detection of breast cancer with the people you care for.

Stroke Risk Can Be Increased by Temporary Air Pollution Exposure

Pharmaceutical Review ( Associate Editor) According to new studies, the risk of stroke might rise by as much as 30% within five days of exposure to air pollution. Within five days of a stroke, researchers examined 110 observational studies from around the globe that tracked when strokes occurred and the levels of common contaminants in the air. The most frequent type of stroke, an ischemic stroke, which is brought on by a blood clot going to the brain, was represented in the meta-analysis by more than 18 million cases, according to NBC. Inhaling small pieces of particulate matter irritates and inflames the lungs. According to Michael Kleinman of the Air Pollution Health Effects Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine, who was not involved in the study, this causes your immune system to go into overdrive and eventually has an impact on the cardiovascular system.
He asserted that “there is a direct connection between what happens in the lung and what happens in the heart.”

Collection of Microplastic Pollutants in Human Airways

Pharmaceutical Reviews (Associate Editor) About 16.2 particles of microplastic could be inhaled by people per hour, which is the same as one credit card over the course of a week. Additionally, these microplastics tiny environmental waste produced by the breakdown of plastic products often include hazardous contaminants and poisons. Understanding how inhaled microplastics move through the respiratory system is crucial for both preventing and treating respiratory disorders since it can lead to major health hazards. To study microplastic transport and deposition in the upper airway, researchers from the University of Technology Sydney, Western Sydney University, Urmia University, Islamic Azad University, the University of Comilla, and Queensland University of Technology created a computational fluid dynamics model.
“Millions of tons of these tiny pieces of plastic have been discovered in the soil, air, and water. The density of microplastics in the air is dramatically rising, and global microplastic output is booming. Microplastics were discovered in human airways for the first time in 2022, raising concerns about serious risks to respiratory health.

Support for patients with cardiovascular illness in terms of mental health.

Pharmaceutical Reviews (Associate Editor) The Heart Foundation is spreading this message in conjunction with the promotion of My Heart MyLife, a free online peer support community for persons with cardiovascular illness, on Friday, September 29, World Heart Day. Research, according to Healthcare Programs Manager Natalie Raffoul, has shown that patients may experience a sense of loneliness following a diagnosis of heart illness or a heart-related event.” In our own research, most patients expressed a strong desire to feel a sense of belonging to a community that understood their unique journeys,” Ms. Raffoul said. As individuals adjust to a series of abrupt changes in their health, research indicates that persons with cardiovascular disease are more prone to experience anxiety and sadness. Supporting positive mental health is important because it reduces the risk of a second heart attack for people who have this mental health burden.

Researchers create a novel technique to deliver powerful antibiotics more securely.

Pharmaceutical Reviews (Associate Editor) Although the threat posed by antibiotic-resistant germs to human life is real, it takes a long time for new antibiotics to be developed. The solution may lie in a class of tried-and-true medications that have been used to treat cancer for years. The development of a brand-new class of antibiotics is currently underway at Linköping University in Sweden.Numerous medications and therapeutic candidates have demonstrated exceptional efficacy in eliminating germs or malignant cells. They are used extremely rarely or not at all because of the issue that they also injure the patient. They are administered straight into the circulation and distributed throughout the body when used to treat conditions like cancer. However, Linköping University researchers are currently working on a technique to deliver potent molecules in a way that is safer, which they think may create new treatment options for a number of disorders.
