More than 50 nations around the world have reported nearly 3413 confirmed and suspected cases of monkeypox since January 2022 (until 22 June 2022).

Secretion of stress hormone cortisol correlates with the intensity of stressors and their period of occurrence, and may have serious implications on health in the long run.

COVID-19 has caused an impending disaster with combined social and economic effects. The socio-economic effects of the pandemic are devastating whereby millions of the population drove towards poverty; with nearly 690 million population left undernourished. COVID-19 has demanded efficient healthcare to combat the disease, however, the millions of reported deaths indicate insufficient and unprepared public healthcare.

The dragon fruit H. undatus contains several active phyto-compounds, which act as good antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer agents. To explore the apoptotic potential of these phyto-compounds, it would be apt to screen the interaction of these compounds with apoptotic proteins via., in silico docking studies.

Stroke is a potentially fatal condition that is defined by the fast development of clinical symptoms of ischemia. Numerous flavonoids have been demonstrated in animal models to ameliorate brain ischemia-reperfusion damage. Piperine is a flavonoid derived from Piper nigrum L. that exhibits a variety of pharmacological effects. The purpose of this research was to determine if Piper nigrum L. has a protective effect against the brain damage caused by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) in rats.

People with lower education have been found to have poor health. Lack of schools and universities is linked to unemployment, self-service, counselling, nutrition, and other ailments. As a result, several hygiene-related disorders impact common people, especially children and young ladies.

KAATSU is a blood flow restriction training that was developed in Japan in the 1960s as a low-intensity strengthening exercise. It involves the wrapping of a tourniquet or pneumatic cuff over the muscle at a quick repetition rate during low-intensity muscle contractions. It is a muscle-strengthening technique used in physical therapy clinics to help patients regain muscle function following an injury or surgery. This is performed by temporarily cutting off blood flow to the muscles during the exercise.

Sitting in front of laptops or computers for several hours (sedentary lifestyle), using cell phones, watching television, skipping meals or eating junk/ fast food, lack of physical activities, stress, etc. increase the risk of many lifestyle diseases.

Several physiologic, hormonal, and molecular processes contribute to the emergence of hyperglycaemia during pregnancy. Increased insulin resistance is seen during the course of a healthy pregnancy. During the early stages of normal pregnancies, the pancreatic β-cells secrete more insulin, which slows the rise in plasma glucose levels.

Injuries are common among athletes at any point in their sports carrier. Physiotherapy management plays a vital role in the rehabilitation of athlete injury. Numerous pieces of evidence suggest that quick fix approaches, lack of clinical reasoning skills in injury healing science, and current Indian medical system practising guidelines are the reason for poor quality treatment in India, and it is difficult to provide the best quality treatment as per the athletes’ requirements. A multidisciplinary team along with prompt evidence-based treatment is important in injury management. This article describes the current scenario in Indian physiotherapy as well as the suggestions and recommendations to implement evidence-based strategies for proper injury management among athletes.

The omphalomesenteric duct (OMD) is an embryonic structure connecting the yolk sac to the midgut. Failure of the resorption of the duct results in several anomalies. These anomalies usually occur in approximately 2% of the population. Individuals having such anomalies may remain asymptomatic throughout life. The embryonic vitelline duct obliterates in 5 to 9 weeks of intrauterine life normally. Persistence of this results in vitellointestinal duct/ omphalomesenteric duct anomalies. It is usually seen in the paediatric age group. Moreover, they have a different course in adults than the paediatric age group in which they frequently involute and have a benign course. These remnants are prone to infection and development of malignancy. A proper diagnostic workup by clinical and imaging tools is required. Hereby we have reported a rare case of remnant OMD which presented as an umbilical sinus with a granuloma in an adult patient.
