Folic acid and Heart diseases
•
2 likes•685 views
In 2008, the WHO reported that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) caused 17.3 million deaths globally, with over 80% of CVD deaths occurring in low and middle income countries. CVDs such as coronary heart disease and stroke were responsible for 30% of all deaths that year. Maintaining adequate folate levels through diet and supplements can help lower levels of homocysteine in the blood and reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, megaloblastic anemia, and neural tube defects. The WHO and other health organizations recommend increasing folate intake to promote better health outcomes.

Healthcare Associated Infections and Food Borne Illnesses
Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) are a sad reality of visiting a healthcare facility, and nearly 1-3 of these illnesses can be prevented. How can you prevent HAIs and Food Borne Illnesses?
vulnerability of the livestock sector in changing climate conditions
In India, livestock sector plays an important role in socio-economic development of rural households. Over 70 percent of the country’s rural households own livestock and a majority of livestock owning households are small, marginal, and landless farmers. The reality of climate change and the fact that life in the poorest and vulnerable economies will be worst affected is set to have far-reaching consequence on the animal and its owners. At the same time, livestock have always shouldered a portion of the blame for rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, recent extensive scientific evidence and report by FAO and universities in the US has brought to light the fact that the large GHG emission figure of livestock emission was big data hype. The developed countries play clever by shifting blame for anthropogenic GHG emission away from the fossil fuel based power generation, transportation, industries and lifestyle of the global North to activities in developing countries such as paddy cultivation and animal husbandry.
Benefits of folic acid
Folic acid is used for preventing and treating low blood levels of folic acid (folic acid deficiency), as well as its complications, including “tired blood” (anemia) and the inability of the bowel to absorb nutrients properly. Folic acid is also used for other conditions commonly associated with folic acid deficiency, including ulcerative colitis, liver disease, alcoholism, and kidney dialysis.
Nutrition (folic acid)
Folic acid is found naturally in dark green vegetables, citrus fruits, legumes, eggs, and organ meats. It is vital for synthesizing DNA, RNA, and repairing and dividing cells, aiding in the production of red blood cells and preventing birth defects. Taking too much folic acid can cause digestive issues, nausea, and even psychotic behavior or seizures. A deficiency can lead to anemia and symptoms like fatigue, weakness, irritability, and forgetfulness.
Folic acid updated 9_2012
This document provides an overview of folic acid including its structure, functions, deficiency symptoms, at-risk populations, food sources, and recommendations. The key points covered are:
1) Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin that assists with red blood cell production, DNA/RNA formation, and preventing birth defects. It is found naturally in foods as folate and added to fortified foods.
2) Low folic acid can cause anemia and issues affecting the heart and brain like fatigue and depression. Populations most at risk include women of childbearing age, pregnant/breastfeeding women, and those with poor diets or alcohol abuse.
3) Good sources of natural fol

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
folic acid B9 MUHAMMAD MUSTANSAR
Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in many foods. It is important for cell division and growth, especially during periods of rapid cell division and growth like infancy and pregnancy. Folic acid works as a coenzyme in single carbon transfers that are critical for DNA synthesis and metabolism. A deficiency can result in health issues like megaloblastic anemia or neural tube defects in developing embryos. Good dietary sources include leafy green vegetables, legumes, liver, and fortified grains.
Folate
Folic acid is essential for one carbon metabolism and the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Rich sources include green leafy vegetables and yeast. Deficiency can cause megaloblastic anemia and fetal neural tube defects. It is caused by inadequate intake, increased need during pregnancy, malabsorption, medications, and B12 deficiency trapping folate. Symptoms include fatigue, sore tongue, and neurological issues. Diagnosis involves blood tests of folate, B12, and homocysteine levels. Treatment is oral folic acid supplementation.

Global burden of disease & International Health Regulation
The document discusses global burden of disease and key concepts in global health. It summarizes that global burden of disease assessments measure years of life lost to premature mortality and disability worldwide. The leading causes of mortality globally are ischemic heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections and COPD, while the highest disease burdens come from lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, depression and ischemic heart disease. Noncommunicable diseases like cardiovascular disease are responsible for most deaths globally.
Burden of cardiovascular diseases in Indians: Estimating trends of coronary a...
The global trends in disease specific mortalities indicate that ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of death in age group ≥60 years. It is also being recognized that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and their risk factors are emerging as primary health problems in India with all socioeconomic groups being equally vulnerable. Though the high mortality rates due to CVDs in India may have major economic repercussions, the analysis on economic impact of CVDs remains incomplete, because of inadequate coverage of these diseases in India's vital event registration and absence of surveillance systems for disease specific mortality data. The per capita expenditure on health by public sector is very low making the poor to go for costly private healthcare facilities. We discuss here the burden of CAD and its risk factors in India and need for using population and individual based prevention strategies to halt and reverse the CVD epidemic. The country will need to create data for technical and operational factors for making prevention and control of CVDs feasible. National and international multidisciplinary collaborations will be needed to address the challenge posed by CVDs.

Hypertension (HTN) is a major public health problem in all age group but isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is the commonest form of hypertension in elderly population and it is a better predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared to diastolic blood pressure. Aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of modifiable factors on systolic blood pressure (SBP) in elderly population on systolic blood pressure in elderly patients. This prospective observational study was conducted on the patient attending OPD & IPD of HAHC Hospital, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi. All the elderly hypertensive with elevated systolic BP were included in the study, after explaining the details about the study and taking written consent data were recorded on a proforma. The patients were followed every regularly and the effect of drugs on SBP were assessed and recoded at monthly interval. Data were analysed by using IBM SPSSv20. This study documented that among the 220 hypertensive patients who completed the study 51% were female. The maximum numbers of patients were from of age group of 56 to 65 years (44.54%). This study also shows that 40.90% patients were tobacco user. Morbidity and mortality are increased by elderly hypertension. The number of elderly hypertension patients will increase for practitioners as the US aging population rises. Most ISH in elderly hypertension. Most difficult to treat. Evidence is quite strong for treating ISH. SBP management must come before DBP reduction. Clinical studies demonstrate that lowering SBP lowers cardiovascular and renal disease more than keeping SBP uncontrolled. Prioritizing elderly SBP management is necessary.

The document discusses the economic burden of cardiovascular disease in Mexico. It provides data showing obesity, hypertension, and diabetes are increasing causes of death. Treatment of these conditions places a large burden on Mexico's health system, with diabetes alone costing over $778 million in 2010. Initiatives like CASALUD and CODIGO INFARTO aim to better prevent, monitor, and treat non-communicable diseases, but Mexico invests a lower percentage of its GDP on healthcare than most OECD countries. More public-private partnerships will be needed to address the growing economic challenges.
IntegrAid A World In Need | Statistics
The document summarizes various statistics related to poverty, access to water and sanitation, disease, child labor, malnutrition, and illiteracy around the world. Nearly half of the world's population lives on less than $2 per day, while over 1 billion people live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $1 daily. Additionally, over 800 million people lack access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation facilities. Diseases caused by unsafe water and lack of hygiene claim millions of lives each year. Many other statistics outline the widespread issues of child labor, malnutrition, and lack of education faced globally.
COPD
This document discusses global health problems, with a focus on non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It notes that NCDs account for 60% of deaths worldwide and this proportion is projected to rise to 73% by 2020. The four main NCDs are cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes. Tobacco use is a major risk factor and the burden of tobacco-related deaths is shifting to developing countries. Chronic respiratory diseases affect over 1 billion people and 4 million people die from them each year. Most NCDs can be prevented or treated by reducing the shared risk factors of tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and harmful alcohol use.

Unemployment in Algeria
This paper aims to clarify the social process of unemployment, in Algeria. Anchored in sociological methodology, it stands on the descriptive method which combines historical approach with the quantitative instrument majorly. Its tool is the documental research. The problematic question here is: What are the social strata affected by unemployment in Algeria? The hypothesis studied here is: (a) Unemployment in Algeria affected women. (b) All social strata are affected by unemployment in Algeria. Our findings suggest that this study has shown areas of excellence and areas that need from the government improvement and focus, because the government efforts have contributed little to reducing high rates of unemployment. Despite the enormous potential of Algeria, successive governments didn’t adopt an economy relying on productivity which would benefit the population. The broad movements in unemployment across Algeria explain the shifts in labor market institutions which have a direct significant impact on unemployment because of their broad impact on real labor costs.

Reduction of hospitalizations
- The study analyzed data from 54 Italian hospitals on admissions for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during a week in March 2020 during the COVID-19 outbreak vs. the same week in 2019.
- Admissions for AMI were reduced by 48.4% during the COVID-19 period. Specifically, admissions were reduced by 26.5% for ST-elevation MIs (STEMI) and 65.1% for non-ST-elevation MIs (NSTEMI).
- Case fatality rates for AMI increased substantially during the COVID-19 period, from 4.1% to 13.7% for STEMI patients. Major complications also increased.
Blood donation powerpoint
Blood donation and transfusion can save lives but also carry risks. Blood transfusion involves transferring blood components from a donor to a recipient and is used to treat blood loss from trauma, surgery or blood diseases. While screening and testing has improved safety, risks like fever, allergic reaction or disease transmission still remain. Regular blood donations are needed to maintain an adequate supply for the hundreds of daily orders from hospitals, but many people have a fear of needles that prevents donation. Blood donation only allows 6 donations per year which limits the total supply.

The Australian government identifies national health priorities based on several key principles:
1. Principles of social justice - including supporting vulnerable groups and allocating resources fairly.
2. Prevalence and burden of health conditions - considering conditions that affect many people or have high costs.
3. Potential for prevention and early intervention - targeting modifiable risk factors and improving health behaviors.
4. Cost to individuals and communities - both the financial and non-financial impacts of diseases.
Priority groups identified include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, those in rural/remote areas, and low socioeconomic groups experiencing health inequities. Data on disease rates, mortality, and morbidity help determine the most significant health issues facing Australia.

Hypertension in India Dr Manish Ruhela
This document discusses hypertension in India. It provides statistics on the prevalence and burden of hypertension globally and within India. Some key points:
- Over a billion adults globally had hypertension in 2000, predicted to rise to 1.56 billion by 2025. Prevalence is increasing fastest in developing countries.
- In India, prevalence has risen from 2-15% in the 1990s to over 25% in urban areas and 10-15% in rural areas currently. By 2020, an estimated 159.46 per 1000 population will have hypertension.
- Hypertension awareness, treatment and control is low in India, with only around half of urban and a quarter of rural hypertensive individuals aware of their condition. Pro
Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
