Renin-Angiotensin System as a Therapeutic Target for Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis
Abstract: Classically, renin-angiotensin system (RAS), for a long time, has been perceived as the main regulator of cardiovascular homeostasis, due to its effect on blood vessels contraction or cardiac hypertrophy and is known to maintain blood pressure and body fluids. Hence, its pharmacological regulation is mainly associated with the management of hypertension. Currently, it was found that the RAS is involved in a broad range of physiological processes and diseases. RAS …

Environmental implications of hospital laundry services
Abstract: The environmental implications of hospital laundry services differ markedly from those in the hospitality sector. This distinction stems from the need to handle hospital linens soiled with various bodily fluids, necessitating disinfection before washing. Hospital linens encompass a diverse range of fabrics used throughout medical facilities, including mattresses, pillowcases, blankets, bed sheets, towels, curtains, screens, and aprons. Maintaining the cleanliness of hospital linens is crucial for patient comfort, reducing discomfort, …

Unani Concept of Tadarrun-e-Revi (Pulmonary Tuberculosis): A Review
Abstract: In Unani system of medicine, pulmonary tuberculosis is known as Tadarrun-e-Revi. Unani physicians also called it Diq or humma-e-diq or tap-e-diq. The ulcer which is formed in lungs due to tuberculosis is called sil. The word Diq means thinness or debility. In Diq, the increased temperature of body destroys the body fluid, because of which, the body of affected person becomes thin and dry. Hence the disease is called Humma-e-diq. …

Unani Concept of Iron Deficiency Anaemia: A Review
Abstract: Anaemia is a global public health problem most often associated with iron deficiency—the most widespread nutrient deficiency in the world. It affects variable proportions of the population in both developing and developed countries, with three to four times higher prevalence in the developing world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria mild anaemia ranges from 11–11.9 g, moderate anaemia from 8–10.9 g and severe anaemia is less than 8 …

Injections: Routes of Administration, Adverse Effects, and Nurses’ Responsibilities
Abstract: An injection is the process of employing a device under pressure to force a liquid, gas, or substance into a person, area, or system. In everyday usage, it most frequently refers to using a syringe and needle to inject medication or vaccinations into the body. In order to avoid the digestive system, an injection—often referred to as a "shot" or "jab"—delivers nutrition or fluid drugs straight into the body.
