Abstract Introduction: The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among individuals with diabetes has seen a significant surge. Estimates show that 80% of people in developing countries still prefer CAM for the treatment of health conditions. CAM encompasses various medical practices outside mainstream medicine and is increasingly employed for the reasons such as enhancing control over treatment, adopting a holistic health approach, and managing conditions alongside conventional medicine. CAM is widely embraced, due to cultural factors and perceived benefits, driving its popularit

Abstract:

Many lay people along with some so called “key opinion leaders” have a common slogan “There's no answer for cancer”. Again, mistake delays proper treatment and make situation worse, more often. Compliance is crucial to obtain optimal health outcomes, such as cure or improvement in QoL. Patients may delay treatment or fail to seek care because of high out-of- pocket expenditures. Despite phenomenal development, conventional therapy falls short in cancer management. There are two major hurdles in anticancer drug development: dose-limiting toxic side effects that reduce either drug effectiveness

AbstractMore than 1.7 million American women are expected to reach menopause each year. Recent Canadian statistics show that a 50-year-old woman can now expect to live until her mid-80s, which implies living at least one-third of her life after menopause. The menopausal transition is typically marked by intense hormonal fluctuations, accompanied by vasomotor symptoms (eg, hot flashes, night sweats), sleeps disturbance, and changes in sexual function, as well as increased risk for osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline.

We exploit the properties of complex time to obtain an analytical relationship based on considerations of causality between the two Noether-conserved quantities of a system: its Hamiltonian and its entropy production. In natural units, when complexified, the one is simply the Wick-rotated complex conjugate of the other. A Hilbert transform relation is constructed in the formalism of quantitative geometrical thermodynamics, which enables system irreversibility to be handled analytically within a framework that unifies both the microscopic and macroscopic scales, and which also unifies the treat

Abstract:

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a widespread endocrine disorder, is particularly prevalent among working women in tier 2 cities in India. Clinical guidelines in India do not adequately consider morbidities involving PCOS and pre-menopause when diagnosing and caring for women with PCOS. This study aimed to understand the dependency on medication, alternate treatments, yoga, and combined comorbidities of PCOS, key concerns, quality of life (QoL), and diagnosis experiences of working Indian women living with PCOS.

Abstract:

There is considerable controversy on the role of physical activity in irritable bowel disease (IBD) since published reports are conflicting. It is well known that there is known relapse with specific treatment in IBD. This, in addition to onset of extraintestinal symptoms creates a need to think of alternate approaches. In this context, the current article describes the need of a multi-institutional study with standard protocol of physical activity for documenting its effect on both the primary disease and the extra alimentary manifestations. This paper also points out the possibility of using

Thirty male Balb/C mice were divided into 5 groups: 3 treatment groups and 2 control groups (6 per group). Treatment groups and the negative control group were injected with EAT (1 × 106 cells) intraperitoneally to develop ascites tumor.

Ozone therapy is currently being used in the treatment of ischemic disorders, but the underlying mechanisms that result in successful treatment are not well known. This study assesses the effect of ozone therapy on the blood flow in the middle cerebral and common carotid arteries. Seven subjects were recruited for the therapy that was performed by transfusing ozone-enriched autologous blood on 3 alternate days over 1 week. Blood flow quantification in the common carotid artery (n= 14) was performed using color Doppler. Systolic and diastolic velocities in the middle cerebral artery (n= 14) wer

Abstract:

Documented evidence of the usage of complementary and alternative medicine among patients with rare disease such as hemophilia is limited. Therefore, we explored the types of complementary and alternative medicines used, the associated sociodemographic and clinical factors, and the cost and reasons for usage among severe hemophilia A patients in India. Our study demonstrates an increased usage of complementary and alternative medicine (42.3%) among hemophiliacs. Significant factors associated with usage of these therapies were economic status, comorbidity status, and education of head of house
