The Interplay Between Hyperglycemia, Endothelial Dysfunction, and Cardiovascular Risk in the Context of COVID-19: Implications for Long-term Health
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the potential impact of hyperglycemia, especially its link to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and endothelial dysfunction. COVID-19 can cause systemic inflammation and endothelial damage, worsening complications related to hyperglycemia. Persistent inflammation and endothelial dysfunction are crucial elements in the progression of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. The long-term health effects of COVID-19, known as “Long COVID” or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), have raised concerns …

Assessment of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome with Emphasis on Imaging Modalities
Abstract: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a higly prevalent hormonal disorder that affects women during their reproductive age. It is linked to a wide range of health concerns ,including disturbances in reproductive functions, metabolic abnormalities and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Ultrasonography plays a crucial role in identifying polycystic ovarian morphology, which constitutes one of the key diagnostic criteria under the Rotterdam consensus. This prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted …

Developing an Assessment Protocol in Ayurvedic Research for Hyperemesis Gravidarum with Special Reference to Garbhini Chardi
Abstract: Garbhini Chardi (nausea and vomiting in pregnancy) is described in Ayurvedic texts as one of the Vyakta Garbha Lakshanas – early physiological signs indicating pregnancy. However, when this symptom becomes excessive, persistent, or distressing, it may transition from a normal event to a pathological condition, requiring timely intervention to safeguard maternal and fetal health. In advanced stages, it leads to day-to-day incapacitation, weight loss, dehydration, and metabolic disturbances – clinically …

Circadian Regulation of Lipid Peroxidation in the Brain: Linking Ferroptosis to Neurodegenerative Vulnerability
Abstract: The human brain operates through highly coordinated physiological and biochemical processes that regulate cognition, behavior, and neural adaptability. Central to these processes are mechanisms governing brain function, neurophysiology, and neuroplasticity, which are increasingly recognized to be influenced by circadian rhythms. Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging, and behavioral neuroscience have revealed that disruptions in circadian regulation can significantly impact oxidative balance within the brain, particularly through enhanced lipid peroxidation. Lipid …

Review on the Efficacy of Ayurvedic Formulations in Diabetes Management
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders globally, characterized by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. It leads to serious complications affecting the cardiovascular, renal, and nervous systems, imposing a significant health and economic burden. In Ayurveda, diabetes is described as Madhumeha, a subtype of Prameha, primarily caused by the vitiation of Kapha dosha, Meda dhatu (fat metabolism), and Agnimandya (impaired …

Alcohol, Circadian Glymphatic Dysfunction, and Neurodegenerative Protein Accumulation: An Emerging Concern in the Indian Context
Abstract: Alcohol consumption has long been identified as a major public health issue, yet its deeper and more subtle effects on the human brain are only now coming into sharper focus. Traditional explanations often emphasize direct neuronal damage, but emerging research in neuroscience suggests a more intricate story. Recent findings indicate that alcohol not only harms brain cells but also disrupts the body’s internal biological clock—the circadian rhythm—which plays a critical …

Diet Management of Cancer Patients Who Undergo Chemotherapy—An Experimental Study
Abstract: Background: Chemotherapy is the one major treatment module for cancer patients, but it has so many side effects, including nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and pain. These side effects reduce the adherence towards chemotherapy and reduce the interest to have foods. This, in turn, affects the normal tissue metabolism and disturbs the functions of cell and tissue regeneration. Food is very important for patients who receive chemotherapy. The cyclic administration of chemotherapy …

Role of Impaired Digestion in Disease Pathogenesis: According to Unani System of Medicine
Abstract: The relationship between digestion and disease occupies a central position in Greco-Arab (Unani) medicine, as emphasized by classical physicians such as Ibn Sina and Al-Razi. In Unani medicine, digestion (Haḍm) is not confined to the gastrointestinal tract alone but represents a comprehensive physiological and metabolic process involving four sequential stages: gastric digestion (Haḍm-e-Mi‘dī), hepatic digestion (Haḍm-e-Kabidī), vascular digestion (Haḍm-e-‘Urūqī), and tissue digestion (Haḍm-e-‘Uḍwī). These stages are governed by Quwwat-e-Hāḍima (digestive …

An Approach towards in Management of Chronic Kidney Disease
Abstract: The current international guidelines define and classify the chronic kidney disease (CKD) as decreased kidney function shown by decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Glomerular filtration rate of 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 for at least 3 months is a marker for kidney damage. The underlying causes for chronic kidney disease are proteinuria and hypertension. It is the main cause of CKD in many high-, middle- and low-income countries. In different countries, …

Determining the Root Causes of Complications in Hemodialysis Maintenance Therapy
Abstract: As with peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation, hemodialysis has been considered one of the most effective therapies for the replacement of kidney function. While this helps to save patients with the disease by decreasing morbidity /mortality/ rates, this medication has some side effects. These may manifest during the dialysis process alongside the ongoing treatment. Avoiding these barriers becomes crucial for improving the patients’ prognosis in this context.We are going to …
