Health and Wellness |
Author : Jesus Duenas Becerra |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :It is not possible, in any way, to refer to the binomial health and
well-being, without first characterizing these two words. Health is
not-in any way-the absence of somatic or psychic illness, but rather the bio-psycho-socio-cultural and spiritual balance in which the self-rests, the authentic, the true, while well-being is conceptualized by the science of Martí of the spirit as the state of mind of the human being, whose physical, mental and spiritual conditions provide a feeling of satisfaction and tranquility |

Clinical Benefits of Photobiomodulation using a 635 nm of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) from a Mechanism of Action Perspective |
Author : Jennifer Gantzer, Daniel Strauss and Mark Wieland |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Low-level laser (light) therapy, LLLT, is a therapeutic application of light delivered as photons. The ability of absorbed light able to
induce physiological effects is known as photobiomodulation. LLLT photobiomodulation is well-documented to provide clinical ben-
efits of improved rates of healing attributed to anti-inflammatory effects, decreased pain, and enhanced tissue regeneration. These
clinical outcomes correlate to the mechanism of action of LLLT’s photobiomodulation effects of increased generation of ATP and the
ability to modulate inflammatory signaling molecules known to influence rapid and optimal tissue healing repair and regeneration.
The clinical benefits of 635 nm LLLT is highlighted from a molecular mechanism of action perspective. |

Abstract :In the 21st century, the world is experiencing unwanted cata-
strophic issues that are affecting billions daily, including climate
change, politically based hate, war, gun violence, anti-women’s
rights, COVID, an out-of-control drug epidemic, and a global mental health crisis [1]. Since 2015, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), World Health Organization (WHO), and Informal Scientific Network (ISN) have strived to bring the voice of science, as it pertains to addiction medicine, to inform critical discussions at the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND), the policymaking body of the United Nations with prime responsibility for drug control matters [2]. The opioid overdose crisis represents an increasingly global challenge, one associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality [3]. The contours of the epidemic have been most extensively documented in North America, but serious situations are developing around the world. Meanwhile, millions of people worldwide suffer from moderate to severe pain without access to opioid analgesics, despite the provisions of the international drug conventions. For these reasons, during the CND’s 61st session, the ISN examined the opioid overdose crisis and presented a statement
with recommendations for consideration by the CND |

Phycological Challenge among School-Aged Girl (PCSG) |
Author : Ranga Raj Dhungana |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :We have already known that child phycology is more times
sensitive than other young adult. Concerning this issue, I want to
explain one case study I did. It is a case of schoolgirl who suffered
with child rapes in many times in tuition center, school, and even
college while she was less than 18 years in age. The main cause
was lack of love of parent and ignorance on child behaviors. She
always expects a lot of love from her parent specially father, but
her father had very rude behavior with her daughter while she was
present in her home. Even she could not eat her breakfast with her
father |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) caused solely by veins is relatively rare, and it is more difficult to visualize the responsible
vein than the artery using MRI. There has been no comprehensive description of the condition and best practices for diagnosing and
surgically treating it. Here, we aimed to visualize the vein causing TN and discuss intraoperative considerations in view of the report-
ed relatively highly frequent recurrence of TN with vein compared to TN with arterial compression. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :oods not only supply energy but also help in growth, development and maintenance of health including cognitive functions. It has also been observed that specific nutrients can affect cognitive abilities at different ages. Diverse nutrients present in the food play a crucial role in the maintenance of cognitive functions and deficiencies of such nutrients might lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neuronal dysfunction including dementia. The purpose of the present study is to determine the existing data available in different science literature regarding food items available in India that have potent action on brain function. S |

Biochemistry of Methylphenidate in Long-term Treatment of Parkinson’s |
Author : Robert W Townsend |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Background: Discoveries in this study can significantly improve the health and quality of life of over ten million Parkinson’s- affected people. Clinicians prescribe AntiParkinsonian medications to treat Parkinson’s illnesses and Parkinsonism. AntiParkinsonian Carbidopa-Levodopa, Ropinirole, and Pramipexole commonly cause progressive neural damage (augmentation) and adverse reactions such as excessive sedation, sudden passing out, and slowed cognition. This study presents a neurobiochemistry analysis regarding the world’s first long-term treatment of Parkinson’s with Methylphenidate. The neurobiochemistry analysis in this study describes and explains how Methylphenidate adjunctive therapy counteracts the adverse effects of AntiParkinsonians and how Methylpheni date monotherapy controls motor and non-motor symptoms, strengthens neural tissues, sustains alertness and cognition, and slows progressive worsening |

Role of Bone Metabolic Marker Proteins in Calcified Lesions of Carotid Arteriosclerosis |
Author : Yu Hirokawa, Hirotomo Ten, Keisuke Onoda and Akira Matsuno |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Vascular calcification is an important characteristic of atherosclerosis. According to histological analyses, bone formation tends to occur in heavily calcified carotid lesions devoid of ulceration and hemorrhage. Vascular calcification is
not a simple degenerative and necrotic process associated with atherosclerosis but an active process similar to bone for-
mation. Proteins involved in regulating skeletal bone formation are present in human atherosclerotic lesions. These proteins include osteoprotegerin and its ligand, bone sialoprotein, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 and BMP-4, osteocalcin, osteonectin, matrix Gla protein, and osteopontin |
