The implementation of the food quality protection act (FQPA) in increasing the safety standards for new pesticides used on foods
Abstract: This paper examines the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) and its impact on enhancing safety standards for pesticides used on food in the United States. Initially, the study explores the Delaney Clause—a strict standard prohibiting carcinogenic food additives—which FQPA replaced with a more flexible "reasonable certainty of no harm" criterion. This shift allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess pesticide risk with consideration of potential benefits, even if a …

Mucormycosis: An Emerging Challenge among COVID-19 Patients
Abstract: Mucormycosis is a rare angio-invasive opportunistic fungal infection that has become an emerging challenge among COVID-19 patients. The higher incidence of mucormycosis among COVID-19 patients has been attributed to hypoxia, pre-existing or steroid induced diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, increased ferritin levels, and SARS-CoV-2 or steroid mediated immunosuppression. Other contributing factors include prolonged hospitalization with or without use of mechanical ventilators.The epidemiology and etiopathogenesis of this disease are still evolving. Once infected, …

DVT in Athletes: A Physiotherapist’s Approach to Prevention, Early Detection, and Rehabilitation
Abstract: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious medical condition where blood clots develop in the deep veins, most often in the lower limbs. While it is traditionally associated with immobility, athletes are also at risk due to factors like prolonged travel, injuries, dehydration, and genetic predispositions. This paper explores the role of physiotherapists in preventing, detecting, and rehabilitating DVT in athletes. Preventive strategies include promoting hydration, active recovery, circulatory exercises, …

HPV Vaccination: Broader Implementation and Development of Next-Generation Vaccines Reduce the Incidence of Cervical Cancer
Abstract: Cervical cancer has been an important health issue of global concern which has almost universally been fuelled by the persistent infection of high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The most effective way of primary prevention is prophylactic HPV vaccination. The extensive real-world evidence obtained through national immunization programs throughout the world has given unambiguous evidence of the effect of the vaccine as a decline in the incidence of high-grade cervical pre-cancers and …

Epidemiology of Stomach Cancer in Northeastern States of India: Focusing on Nagaland and the Effectiveness of Screening Programs
Abstract: Stomach cancer represents a critical public health burden in northeastern India, with Nagaland exhibiting the highest age-standardized incidence rate in the country - nearly triple the national average. This elevated risk profile stems from multiple factors including traditional dietary practices (high consumption of smoked meats and fermented foods), widespread Helicobacter pylori infection (affecting approximately 70% of adults), prevalent tobacco/alcohol use, and limited healthcare infrastructure. Despite demonstrated success of endoscopic screening …
