Natriuretic Peptides in Hypertension and Related Disorders
type: item
description: Atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) belong to a family of related hormones, which exhibit natriuretic, diuretic, and vasorelaxant activities and play pivotal role in renal, cardiovascular, and endocrine homeostasis. The investigations on ANP and BNP have produced a huge body of important information, which have helped to increase our understanding of the control of high blood pressure (BP), renal and cardiovascular disorders, and recently energy metabolism and fat oxidation. Interestingly BNP and its N-terminal fragment (NT-proBNP) are greatly increased in the circulation of heart failure (HF) patients, and thus considered the excellent predictors of heart disease. In particular, NT-proBNP often found to be gold standard marker of HF. The spectrum of studies, including biochemical, molecular, genomic, and clinical investigations have helped to delineate the roles of natriuretic peptides (NPs) and their receptors in the signaling mechanisms of a wide range of physiological functions. The gene-targeting and transgenic animal models have further heightened our understanding of the importance of NPs and their cognate receptors in both physiological and pathophysiological milieu and disease conditions. This chapter describes the salient features and the roles of NPs and their receptors in hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Indeed, more investigations are needed to extend the function of NPs in these important areas of research to enhance the clinical benefits to human population.

Ayurveda Inspired Discovery and Development of New Drugs for Diabetes, Arthritis and Cancer
type: item
description: Renoval Innovations Inc. is utilizing its own creative library of natural product molecules, including Indian Ayurvedic ingredients, to create molecular target-based drug candidates to treat chronic diseases. Using algorithms and SAR chemistry, the company has developed and synthesized > 100 new patented molecules. Creative orally active molecules are in clinical development stages in two major health conditions: Metabolic Syndrome and Inflammation. The lead candidate for metabolic syndrome was designed to bind Insulin receptors (IR) and as the inhibitor of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). The synthesized small molecule (Mw > 500 Dalton) has a binding affinity with insulin receptors and induces a cascade of signaling pathways mediated by insulin binding to IR to combat insulin resistance. The second molecule is an anti-inflammatory lead candidate that regulates proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-a, IL-1b, and IL-6. Both molecules have passed rodent and dog GLP studies with high therapeutic index, and have entered in US-FDA standard Phase I clinical trials. In addition in our oncology drug design, >20 natural product based creative compounds were screened against 60 different human carcinoma cell lines for the selection of several lead anti-cancer molecules. Two such new cancer molecules are in preclinical stages of development. Using natural product inspired drug discovery platform, Renovel is at the forefront of discovering new class of molecules for major chronic health conditions.

Comparative Studies of Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy with Epilepsy from Brain Tumors
type: item
description: Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and epilepsy associated with brain tumors (EABT) are two distinct forms of epilepsy with unique etiologies and clinical manifestations. This comparative study aims to explore the similarities and differences between these two epilepsy conditions, shedding light on their underlying mechanisms, clinical characteristics, and treatment approaches. Comparative analysis reveals several commonalities in the pathophysiology of MTLE and epilepsy from brain tumors. Both conditions involve alterations in cellular metabolism, disruptions in neuronal networks, and neuroinflammatory processes. Metabolic dysregulation, such as glucose metabolism abnormalities and mitochondrial dysfunction, is observed in both MTLE and tumor-related epilepsy. Additionally, shared molecular pathways related to excitotoxicity, synaptic plasticity, and inflammation contribute to epileptogenesis in both conditions. However, notable differences are also observed. MTLE primarily affects the mesial temporal lobe structures, particularly the hippocampus, while brain tumor-related epilepsy (BTRE) is associated with structural abnormalities resulting from tumor growth. These structural differences influence the clinical presentations, seizure types, and response to antiepileptic drugs. Furthermore, molecular heterogeneity is more pronounced in BTRE, reflecting the diverse molecular subtypes of brain tumors and their distinct effects on epileptogenesis. The comparative analysis also explores the implications for treatment approaches. While antiepileptic drugs are the primary treatment option for both conditions, surgical interventions, including resective surgery and tumor removal, play a more prominent role in BTRE. Moreover, understanding the differences in treatment response and prognosis between the two conditions can aid in personalized treatment planning and optimize patient care. In conclusion, this comparative study highlights the shared and distinct features of MT…

Cancer and Diabetes: More than the Expected Connection
type: item
description: Cancer and diabetes are both common diseases that are increasing rapidly worldwide. Convincing evidence including epidemiological study demonstrated that diabetes (mainly type 2 diabetes) is firmly associated with different types of cancer including breast, pancreas, liver, colon and bladder cancers. But whether diabetes triggers cancer progression or cancer causes DM is still not well understood. Diabetes is a heterogeneous type of disease which is often characterized by abnormal glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. Continuous exposure to hyperglycemia and elevated concentrations of circulating insulin might trigger cancer growth and progression, leading to poorer prognosis. However, there are some conflicting results were observed in subgroup analysis in mainly type 2 DM revealed no significant correlation between preexisting type 2 DM and prostate cancer-related mortality. Whereas, a meta-analysis was carried out by Lee et al. determined the incidence of death due to prostate cancer in men suffering from preexisting diabetic. Over the past several decades, cancer and DM remained co-existing illnesses and patients face unique challenges. However, treatment landscapes have changed with the targeted and immunotherapy but still new compounds used during the treatment causes hyperglycemia. Based on heterogeneity, further research needs to be undertaken to open new avenues of intervention for cancer associated diabetes.

Current and Potential Pharmacological Targets for Therapeutic Intervention in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
type: item
description: Despite significant advancements in the treatment of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), it remains a significant global public health challenge. HNSCC is a complex cancer affecting the upper aero-digestive tract. Current cancer treatment strategies involve using anticancer drugs to target proteins with abnormal expression. Researchers are exploring novel cancer targets based on a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in intracellular processes. Therapeutic options targeting these specific targets, such as Cetuximab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab, are currently available or under development. With advancing knowledge of molecular mechanisms, there is a growing opportunity to identify and exploit new drug targets for HNSCC. Although targeted chemotherapy has shown some success in treating HNSCC, the survival rates and recurrence rates have not improved significantly due to several challenges. These challenges include undesirable reactions to chemotherapy, lack of specificity of drugs, drug resistance, and toxicity to non-cancerous tissues and cells. Researchers have conducted extensive studies to identify effective drug targets for HNSCC treatment. This chapter provides valuable insights into these promising anticancer targets and details the drugs currently under various stages of development. Moreover, it also explores new potential targets that have not been explored in much detail for their impact on HNSCC. We believe that investigating and developing drugs targeting these new potential targets could be beneficial in the treatment of HNSCC.

Circulating Tumor Cells: A New Avenue for Clinical Management of Cervical Cancer
type: item
description: Despite successful vaccination and cytological screening protocols, metastatic cervical cancer (CaCx) remains a significant health concern for women in low-resource countries. This is primarily due to the fact that the disease is often detected at advanced stages. The prognosis of metastatic CaCx, regardless of the geographical distribution, continues to be poor despite improvements in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment techniques. Unlike other malignancies, definite malignancy-specific markers for CaCx progression that could predict the treatment outcome do not exist. Recent developments suggest that circulating tumor cells (CTCs) possess stem cell properties and are important candidates to monitor the metastatic process. They offer a real-time opportunity to identify the stage of carcinogenic progression and subsequently classify patients accordingly. The potential of CTCs to predict minimum residual disease and chances of recurrence renders them as potential prognostic candidate. In the past decade, a number of studies have established the clinical correlation of CTCs with prognosis and diagnosis of various malignancies. A few studies based on detection and analysis of CTCs in CaCx have offered valuable information about the likelihood of local or distant relapses and progression-free survival. The present chapter provides a brief overview of biology of CTCs and existing label-dependent and label-free methods for their detection. The article emphasizes recent advancements and the development of CTCs as a clinico-pathological factor in CaCx. Lastly, it discusses the successes, challenges, and future prospects associated with CTCs for the clinical management of metastatic CaCx.

Historic Socio-Scientific Interaction in Relationship between Cancer and Environment- As Facts and Fiction
type: item
description: As we stride into 21st century, our spectrum of disease has changed to more chronic disease, while cancer has assumed an epidemic in society. Irrespective of age or health, exposure to pollutants as well as genetics can induce cancer risk. Developing the concept of social science in view of cancer it can be seen as a revolt among a group of cells that do not follow the social contract in the cell community to forgo constant cell division in order to contribute to a greater goal of individual fitness. If we want to understand, cancer is a social phenomenon, concentrating on what energies within a single cell, it is insufficient to attack many of the fundamental mechanisms that support cancer's spread. Although it is useful to detect as many mutations of cancer as possible, what is also needed is to understand how many signalling pathways proteins empower each other, and how they exploit the functions of the normal cells in their neighborhood. Cancer therapy has always been driven by the eradication of proliferating cancer cells through surgical removal or inducing programmed cell death through chemotherapeutic, targeted molecule, or radiation treatment. Although localized tumors can be cured yet systemic therapy virtually always fails to cure metastatic disease as cancer cells appear to develop intrinsic or adaptive resistance strategies i.e. “tumor cell heterogeneity.” So, fields such as physics, computational medicine, phytocomponents, complexity agent-based modeling, sociology, and ecology all have the capacity to drive new insights into cancer biology.

Tip of an ICEBERG: The Growing Cancer Burden in India and How to Manage it
type: item
description: India has indisputably transitioned from the era of communicable diseases to the era of non-communicable diseases. It has a substantial impact on public health at multiple levels. These repercussions of cancer are only expected to increase in future due to our increasing elderly population. The major takeaways of the GLOBOCAN 2020 report include the rising global burden of cancer, global disparity in cancer incidence and mortality in different geographic regions, and the impact of the human development index (HDI) on cancer incidence and projected global cancer burden by 2040. Among the top five cancers in females, breast cancer was found to be the highest, followed by three female genital organs cervix, ovary and corpus uteri. Among males, three sites; lung, mouth and tongue, were limited with tobacco-related cancers. The new statistics should serve as a ‘wake-up call’ for the governments and policy makers. we need to develop region-specific solutions considering our resources and the kind of cancer burden present in every area. Developing effective policies and their execution will result in decrease in cancer morbidity and mortality, which will lead to huge economic benefits for the country.

Molecular Pathogenesis of Gut Microbiome Associated Colorectal Cancer: Recent Updates
type: item
description: Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality vary distinctly around the world. It is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in females and third in males while it ranked second in cancer-related deaths globally. Mutational landscape including chromosomal damage and microsatellite instability enabled to insignificant weightage about the survival of patients and their therapeutic response against CRC. Root cause of colorectal carcinogenesis has traditionally based on genetic alterations; however, in broader sense CRC advances as a result of complex communications between the microbiota, host mucosa, aberrant signaling, dietary components and inflammatory mediators. Additionally, it has increased risks combined with inflammatory bowel disease. Possible mechanism associated with CRC and microbial dysbiosis includes various bacterial signatures expose colonic mucosa via different metabolic and inflammatory stimuli, producing a proinflammatory state enabling DNA damage, aberrant signaling and ultimately CRC. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the role of gut microbiota in CRC pathogenesis in light of recent updates. Methods: PubMed and google scholar databases and carried out selective literature review on contribution of gut microbiota and associated mechanism in pathogenesis of CRC. Results: Under normal conditions gut microbiome act as barrier to other pathogens or infection in gastrointestinal tract but studies suggest change in microbial composition related to CRC progression. Imbalance in microbial composition is related with inflammation induced tumorigenesis and modulation of anti-cancer immune response. Thus, gut microbiota can be used as biomarkers for early diagnosis and predict the effect of immunotherapy. Conclusion: This review is focused on to dissect the role of intestinal microbiota and metabolites, signaling molecules and pro-inflammatory factors that directly or indirectly influencing the molecular carcinogenesis…

Oxidative Stress-Role of Exogenous Antioxidant Defenses: Compounds Derived from the Diet
type: item
description: Socio-scientific issues offer a platform for constructive community participation where both society and science play pivotal roles. Food exerts a profound influence on physiological, social, and mental health. Nutraceutical and functional benefits can enhance health outcomes in today's pressured world. Cellular damage may arise from increased oxidative burden due to external stimuli or excessive endogenous ROS generation. Excessive oxidants can harm cells, tissues, and organs, triggering apoptosis or necrosis. Reactive oxidant imbalances play a significant role in diseases like cancer, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, and Alzheimer's. A defense network, comprising enzymes and antioxidants like dietary polyphenols, acts against oxidative stress. Micronutrients, as antioxidants, provide primary and secondary defense, supporting oxidative balance. Studies show antioxidant-rich dietary supplements enhance the body's defense against oxidative stress, crucial for conditions linked with it. Numerous studies have demonstrated that dietary supplements with antioxidants improve the body's defence and support the maintenance of oxidative dynamic balance. Since they may control the redox state, which is linked to cell and organ function, exogenous antioxidants are regarded as crucial treatment strategies for conditions related with oxidative stress. Numerous studies imply that these antioxidant activities may be able to regulate the cellular antioxidant response and prevent onset of these diseases.

Diagnosis and Management of Diabetes Through Ayurveda (the Ancient Indian System of Medicine)
type: item
description: Ayurveda, the science of life serving the mankind since time immemorial. Ayurveda is not only a medical system but also a way of life. Its rich literature contains more information on promotion of health and preventive aspects of disease than any other medical system. Ayurveda mentioned disease called Madhumeha with main symptom of passing sweetish urine. The same can be compared with diabetes mellitus of conventional system medicine. As per Ayurveda, Madhumeha is caused due to imbalance or vitiation of Tridosha (Vata, Pitta & Kapha) or functional entities/energies of body. This vitiation occurs due to physical, psychological and dietary causes which leads to development of disease. This Madhumeha is referred as Mahagada/roga (severe/chronic disease) and difficult to cure. Ayurveda can help in controlling it through dietary restrictions, changing lifestyle and by using some important herbs and minerals, that to with individualized treatment pattern based on the Prakruti (nature), bodily strength of patient. Ayurveda advocates several single, compound formulations prepared with herbs & minerals. For example, Plants called Vijayasara (Pterocarpus marsupium), Haridra (Curcuma longa), Methika (Fenugreek /Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), Karavellaka (Bitter gourd/Momordica charantia) and Naga Bhasma (Lead calx), Yashada Bhasma (Zinc calx) and Shilajit (Sticky substance obtained from rocks in Himalayas) etc. Ayurveda also advocates special procedures like Panchakarma with medicated oils and decoctions to address the disease, Madhumeha. Combination of Ayurveda medicines and practicing Yoga will definitely help diabetes in controlling/managing the disease.

Socio-Scientific Interaction-Fast & Junk Food Impact and Its Management through Natural Therapeutic Food
type: item
description: Junk foods are foods that lack nutrients, vitamins and minerals, and are high in kilojoule (energy), salts, sugars, and fats. Junk food is so called because it doesn’t play a role in healthy eating, especially if it's eaten to excess. Junk food is also known as discretionary food or optional food. Some examples of junk food include: cakes and biscuits, fast foods (such as hot chips, burgers and pizzas), chocolate and sweets, processed meat, snacks (such as chips), sugary drinks (such as sports, energy and soft drinks), alcoholic drinks. If your diet is high in fats, salt and sugar and is not receiving essential nutrients, your risk of obesity and other chronic (long-term) diseases may well increase. These diseases include: cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a number of cancers. While finding healthy alternatives to junk food can sometimes be difficult, the is a convenient, tool to help you determine how healthy a product is. It provides a quick and easy way to compare similar packaged food. However, it is important to note that this system is very generalized and the nutritional value of some products may not be accurately expressed through the rating they receive. Remember also that the Health Star Rating system is designed only for packaged products sold in shops, so it won’t include some healthy foods — including fresh unpackaged food such as fruit and vegetables. Chose wholefood options such as whole meal and wholegrain carbohydrates like pasta, bread and flour. Choose fresh fruit for dessert instead of junk food to keep away from added salt, sugar and saturated fat. Check your food’s nutritional value using the nutritional information panel on the back of the packet.

Association of Diabetes and New Incidence of Tuberculosis: Evidence Study
type: item
description: Diabetes is a chronic condition brought on by either insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or inefficient insulin use by the body. A hormone called insulin controls blood sugar. Over the age of 18, there are reportedly 77 million people in India who have type 2 diabetes. Through various mechanisms, diabetes can increase the chance of contracting tuberculosis (TB). According to studies, hyperglycemia weakens cell-mediated immunity, leaving patients more susceptible to infections. The study showed that the weakening of immunity because of hyperglycemia, is responsible for converting latent TB to an active infection. Patients with elevated blood sugar have a 3.1% higher risk of contracting TB than people with normal blood sugar levels. On the other hand, TB is an infection generally seen in overcrowded, undernourished nations. The combined occurrence of these two diseases was seen in developing countries, which enthralled many epidemiologists toward the correlation between these two diseases. The increased incidence rate of DM in high-risk TB countries such as Sub-Saharan Africa has also pointed toward the fact that this hyperglycemic disorder may be the risk factor for an increased prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. South India, the Pacific Islands, and Mexico are the regions with an increased incidence of TB in people having T2DM. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also suspected that control of TB is being compromised by the increasing number of diabetics in the world, which emphasizes the double burden of TB and diabetes. In India, among the newly diagnosed TB cases, 54% had T2DM and only 25% had normal blood glucose levels. The younger population with DM are more receptive to reinfection than relapse. In contrast, the elderly population is more susceptible to relapse of TB than reinfection. As per TB treatment, the time taken for negative sputum culture is more in people with diabetes than in nondiabetics. It is also seen that…

Annona Squamosa: A Natural Approach to Treat Diabetes Mellitus
type: item
description: There are assorted number derived compounds have been used in treatment of diabetes to control blood sugar level, as the modern drugs have adverse side effects in human being. Annona squamosa possess varied medicinal properties including antidiabetic activity. The study emphasizes on evaluation of antidiabetic activities of petroleum ether leaves extracts (ASPE) of the plant on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and normal rats. The ASPE significantly reduced peak blood glucose (Gp30) and area under curve (AUC) in diabetic rats in oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and oral sucrose (OSTT) tolerance test, but there was more reduction of Gp30 value than ACU in OSTT. Thus, it can be suggested that the ASPE, has a hypoglycemic response so it could be used as a herbal supplement for the management of DM.

Genetic Disorder Fanconi Anemia: A Model for Understand the Genomic Instability and Cancer Development
type: item
description: “Genomic instability” is the hall mark of cancer. It has long been a debate whether the genomic instability is the causes of cancer or consequence of cancer. Significant amount of work has generated in the area of cell cycle and DNA damage repair for understanding the genomic instability, but how genomic instability transforms the normal cell into cancer cell is not well known. Studying rare human genetic diseases often leads to a better understanding of normal cellular functions. Fanconi anemia rare model disease cause genomic instability and cancer susceptibility syndrome. Fanconi kids are born normal except some kinds of congenital defects like bone marrow failure and other developmental defects, but when they are getting older (teen age) they become susceptible to all kinds of cancer.

Basic Understanding of Concept of Diathesis and Approach of Management of Diabetes Mellitus through Ayurveda
type: item
description: Prediabetes & diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the major metabolic disorders in which faulty lifestyle play significant role in the genesis as well as diathesis of this disease. Recent years have shown significantly rising trend of Prediabetes and diabetes mellitus all over the world. It is a serious medical condition and considered as grey area between normal one and diabetes mellitus. Worldwide more than 300 million people are at increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus but they are unaware of it. American Diabetic Association (ADA) on 27th march, 2002 gave the term Prediabetes. Such types of patients are at risk for not only developing Type-2 Diabetes mellitus, but also risk for macro & micro-vascular complications. The progression into diabetes mellitus from Prediabetes is approximately 25% over 3 to 5 years. It is amazing that 7 century B.C. Ayurvedic texts have been vividly described the etio-pathogenesis, classification, prognosis, complication and management of prediabetes and diabetes with highly evolved manner, which is well comparable to the latest development in this field. At one side, Ayurveda conceived the idea of high caloric diet and sedentary habit as important causative factors for Apathyanittaja Prameha and other side genetic/hereditary factors for Sahaja/Jata Prameha. The primary one is very similar to prediabetes and Type-2 diabetes mellitus of conventional biomedical science. The patients of Prameha are believed to possess impaired Agni and depleted Ojas status i.e. hypo-metabolic and immunocompromised state. At present, the primary goal is not only to achieve euglycemia but also to minimize its further progression to type-2 DM and its associated complications. The management of prediabetes is still evolving in the biomedical science. In-spite of many advances in the understanding and management of prediabetes & DM and its consequences remains unsatisfactory and challenging. This seeks great attention from the present-day practitioners a…

Literature Review on Cancer Management in the Aspect of Ayurveda, Indigenous and Siddha Medicine
type: item
description: Cancer is the second commonest non-communicable disease causing 14% of mortality being the second leading cause of mortality globally. At present in Sri Lanka also malignancy is the second foremost cause of death. According to statistics, the number of cancer patients annually increases in Sri Lanka causing a burden to the National Health system. As the country is having different medical systems other than Allopathic medicine, such as Ayurveda, Sri Lankan Traditional and Siddha medicine, there is an increased urge among the patients and Health professionals both to seek Cancer treatments from any of the medical systems available. Those have different explanations for malignancy and its treatments. Cancer can be resembled with Arbuda in Ayurveda, Pilika in Traditional and Vippuruthi in Siddha Medicine. Even though research studies have demonstrated that significant improvement could be achieved by utilizing chemotherapy along with herbal medicine, there is a lack of scientific evidence on herbal medicines which could be used in cancer treatment. At present there is no specific treatment to alleviate cancer completely in any of the medical systems. When considering Ayurveda, Siddha and Traditional medicine, there is a vast literature on numerous plants and formulations consist of herbal and herbo-mineral ingredients used in cancer management. Therefore, when it comes to treatment it is difficult to identify an effective but feasible formulation for cancer. Hence this literature study aimed at compiling commonly used feasible recipes for cancer management based on limited references but which were obtained from selected authentic texts in Ayurveda, Traditional and Siddha medical systems. Anticancer drugs used in the Allopathic medicine also were observed and those provided an innovative suggestion on herbs used in compound preparations mentioned in the texts for this ailment. Identification of few medicinal preparations which can be used internally as well as external…

G-Quadruplex and Ligand Interactions
type: item
description: Designing ligands to interact with G-quadruplex (G4) of DNA is challenging due to the complexity of G4 structures and the lack of efficient experimental methods to characterize G4/ligand interactions. Existing methods can be categorized into structure-based (e.g., CD, NMR, X-ray crystallography), affinity-based (e.g., SPR, ITC, MS), and high-throughput (e.g., FRET, G4-FID, affinity chromatography, microarrays) approaches, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. High-throughput methods are emerging as a promising alternative to traditional methods for screening and designing new G4 ligands, as they are faster and more cost-effective. G4s are found in both DNA and RNA and play an important role in a variety of physiological processes, including cancer and neurological disorders. Targeting G4s with ligands is a promising therapeutic strategy for these diseases. A significant number of G4 ligands have been developed and investigated, and most of them are deposited in the G4 Ligands Database 2.1 (http://www.g4ldb.com/).

Psychological Stress and Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Relationship
type: item
description: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease that occurs due to circulating blood glucose levels being too high. But it also occurs due to psychological issues, consumption of a high calorie diet and sedentary lifestyle. Diabetes is a long-lasting chronic metabolic disorder; it has established psychobiological relationships. Diabetes has much more effects on the human body and also the mind. This review article shows the relationship between psychological stress and type-2 diabetes mellitus. Psychological stress affects the behaviors of people living with type-2 diabetes. Type-2 diabetes is caused due to stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia. These risk factors are associated with qualitative and quantitative defects in insulin secretion. Morbidity diabetic patients want passive euthanasia (legalized in Indian Supreme Court in 2018, India), for last resort. It is important to understand that the individuals who are suffering from diabetes mellitus, must have any psychological issue. It can't be denied that there is a possible correlation between psychological stress and diabetes mellitus.

Role of Medicinal Plants in the Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus
type: item
description: Medicinal plants play a significant role in the treatment of diabetes mellitus which is a serious metabolic disorder. Traditional plants are reported to have significant anti-diabetic properties with no harmful side effects. They are rich sources of anti-diabetic compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics, and tannins that improve the efficiency of pancreatic tissues by increasing insulin secretion or decreasing the intestinal absorption of glucose. However, these over-the-counter drugs are expensive and associated with several complications. Herbal medicines are gaining importance as they are cost-effective and also display improved therapeutic effects with lesser side effects. The present analysis includes available medicinal plants used for treating diabetes complications. This study provides useful information about the different medicinal plants for treating diabetes-associated complications. The aim of the study is to categorize and summarize the available information on medicinal plants with anti-diabetic properties and suggest outlooks for future research.

Antibiotic Resistance with Cancer Treatment
type: item
description: Infections are common in patients with cancer, and they depend upon effective antibiotics to both prevent and treat bacterial infections. Infection is the second leading cause of death in patients with cancer. Loss of efficacy in antibiotics due to antibiotic resistance in bacteria is an urgent threat against the continuing success of cancer therapy. The study highlights the health and financial effect of antibiotic resistance in patients with cancer. Furthermore, recommend measures to control the emergence of antibiotic resistance, highlighting the risk factors associated with cancer care. A lack of data in the etiology of infections, specifically in oncology patients in United States, is identified as a concern, and a centralized and specialized surveillance system for patients with cancer to predict and prevent the emergence of antibiotic resistance. In this finding better ways to predict, prevent, and treat antibiotic-resistant infections will have a major positive impact on the care of those with cancer.
