4 Remarkable Drinks That Can Help Prevent CancerMichel Elias
Research has shown that drinks such as Ginger and Green Tea have the potential to fight disease and in some cases reduce the risk of cancer by a staggering 57%.
1) One third of cancers are linked to poor dietary habits, so improving one's diet can play a major role in preventing cancer.
2) Eating fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants and phytochemicals like cabbage, broccoli, garlic, onions, soy, green tea, berries, citrus fruits, and dark chocolate can help prevent cancer by blocking carcinogens and the growth of cancer cells.
3) Adopting a diet low in red meat and processed foods while exercising regularly and quitting smoking can further reduce cancer risks.
Dr. Lesley Braun discusses complementary medicine and how it is becoming more relevant. She saw complementary medicine help her grandfather's health, and this spurred her to champion its benefits. Complementary medicine includes nutrition, supplements, herbs, and practices like yoga. It can support health and modern medical treatments.

The Use of Garlic Against Coronary Heart DiseaseMichael Kamnikar
Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Four clinical trials examined the effects of garlic in treating and preventing coronary heart disease. The trials found that garlic reduced platelet aggregation, lowered LDL and raised HDL cholesterol, reduced inflammatory biomarkers associated with coronary artery disease, and decreased the risk of future cardiovascular events. Specifically, garlic intake was shown to inhibit blood clotting, lower levels of lipids that cause plaque buildup, and reduce progression of calcium deposits in coronary arteries.

Congestive Heart Failure
Case Study 2
This case study is about Mr. P, a 76 year old male, hospitalized usually to treat cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure (CHF). The author describes the approach to care, treatment plan, method to provide education and a teaching plan about the CHF. Congestive heart failure is defined as “the state in which the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate adequate for satisfying the requirements of the tissues with function parameters remaining within normal limits usually accompanied by effort intolerance, fluid retention, and reduced longevity” (Denolin, 1983, p. 445).
Approach to care
· Assessment of patient: Physical examination of the patient (at each visit), with particular attention to assessment of their vital signs, cardiovascular system (including volume status), signs of deterioration and co-morbid conditions.
· Assessment and management of the patient’s cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, smoking and obesity).
· Assessment of the patient’s nutritional status.
· Assessment of the patient’s potential for adverse effects of medicines
· Regular reassessment of the patient’s biochemistry (including urea and creatinine) and haematology (including haemoglobin) parameters.
· Assessment of the patient’s daily fluid and salt intake from food and drink.
· Ongoing monitoring of the patient’s electrolytes (particularly serum sodium and potassium levels) and renal function.
· Monitor intake and output strictly and take daily weight.
Treatment Plan
CHF is a complex clinical syndrome; therefore, treatment plan includes the focus on the fundamental causes. Appropriate combination of medicines, control over lifestyle with careful monitoring is the basic treatment for CHF.
· An Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (captopril, enalapril etc) or an Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) helps to relax the blood vessels and enhance the blood flow.
· Beta-blockers (bisoprolol, carvedilol etc) reduce the blood pressure and stabilize the heart beat rate.
· Diuretics (lasix, bumex etc) remove more sodium and water from the body, which helps in lowering blood pressure. Also, spironolactone and eplerenone called as potassium-sparing diuretics help to retain potassium.
· Other drugs include anticoagulant, statin and digoxin as per doctor’s recommendation.
Besides medication and diet alteration, devices and surgical procedures are available for the treatment of heart failure. An implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD), coronary artery repair and valve repair or replacement (as appropriate) can be done (Heart.org, 2016).
Education method
Heart failure patients and their family members should acquire the education, problem solving abilities and motivation regarding the treatment plan, medications and effective participation in self-care. “Patient education and post discharge management have demonstrated be ...

Lifestyle Medicine: The Power of Personal Choices, North American Vegetarian...EsserHealth
Lifestyle Medicine focuses on applying behavioral and environmental principles to managing lifestyle-related health problems. Chronic diseases now account for 75% of healthcare costs in the US, many of which are strongly associated with diet and physical inactivity. While genetics play a role, the rise of these "lifestyle diseases" correlates with changes in American diets and exercise patterns over recent decades. Prospective randomized studies demonstrate that organized lifestyle interventions can significantly reduce disease incidence and healthcare costs compared to prescription medications. Lifestyle Medicine aims to educate and empower individuals to make personal choices that can transform health outcomes on both individual and societal levels.
This document discusses gender differences in cardiac care. It summarizes findings from a study that used MRI scans to analyze how male and female hearts change with age. The study found significant differences: the male heart muscle grows thicker with age while the female heart retains its size or gets slightly smaller.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

13. Is EBM mandatory?
Glasziou et al. 'a 21st century
clinician who cannot critically
read a study is as unprepared as
one who cannot take a blood
pressure or examine the
cardiovascular system’.
Such illiteracy is common
& clinicians thus foster
unrealistic expectations
about medicine.
17. •In the practice of EBM,
it is the physician’s
duty to find the best
and most current
information and apply
it judiciously for the
benefit of the patient.
26. European Academy of
Allergy &
Clinical Immunology's
(EAACI) guideline on
anaphylaxis: 2021
Update
•The EAACI TF was drawn from 9
countries & included allergists
(specialist & subspecialists),
paediatricians, primary care,
immunologists, emergency
physicians, anaesthetists,
dieticians, nurses, psychologist,
education & patient organization
representatives. Methodologists
took the lead in undertaking the
SR, while clinical academics took
the lead in formulating
recommendations for clinical
care.
32. Apples,
pears linked
to reduced
stroke risk
•While studies have consistently
shown that a high consumption of
fruit and vegetables overall is
associated with a lower stroke risk,
the researchers note that few
studies have examined the
association between stroke risk
and fruits and vegetables grouped
according to color.
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/791032
Susan Jeffrey, September 16, 2011
33. • The color of the primary edible
portion of fruits and vegetables
reflects the presence or absence of
particular pigmented bioactive
compounds, such as carotenoids,
anthocyanidins, and flavonoids. High
consumption of which fruits and
vegetables in particular contribute the
most to reduction in stroke risk isn't
known.
34. •The researchers used data from
the Monitoring Project on Risk Factors and
Chronic Diseases in the Netherlands )
MORGEN) study, a population-based cohort
study of 20 069 men and women aged 20 to
65 years free of cardiovascular disease at
baseline.
•Information on fruit and vegetable intake was
taken from a validated, 178-item food
frequency questionnaire that included juices
and sauces.
35. Fruits and vegetables were
classified into four color groups
according to the edible portion:
1. green included such items as
broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and
kiwi fruit;
2. orange/yellow included citrus
fruits, carrots, and cantaloupe;
3. red/purple encompassed foods
such as cherries, grapes, red
cabbage, and tomatoes; and
4. white included the allium
family of garlic and onion, hard
fruits like apples and pears, as
well as bananas, cauliflower,
and cucumber.
36. Results
•High intake of fruits and vegetables with a
white flesh—mainly apples and pears in this
research—and reduced risk of stroke on the
order of 50% .
•Each 25-g/day increase in white fruit and
vegetable consumption was associated with
a 9% lower risk of stroke (HR 0.91, 95% CI
0.85-0.97).
37. And another study
December 18, 2013
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/817972
According to the new analysis by British researchers, if individuals ate just one extra apple a day,
approximately 8500 deaths from vascular disease could be prevented in the UK.
The reduction in vascular deaths by adding an apple to the diet is on par with the reduction that would be
observed if all UK individuals over 50 years of age were prescribed statin therapy. In that scenario, 9400 deaths
from vascular disease could be prevented if these adults were started on simvastatin 40 mg.
38. • Now, we're not trying to
say that people should be
swapping their statins for
apples; that's not where
we're going. However, if
they want to add an
apple to that as part of
disease prevention, then
by all means do so,
because you'll be further
along in reducing your
risk of fatal heart attacks
and strokes."
39. • For statin therapy, offering the
treatment to an extra 17 million
individuals and assuming 70%
compliance would prevent 9400 vascular
deaths each year. Assuming 70%
compliance with the apple, even though
"apples are of course both delicious and
nutritious,", the estimated reduction in
vascular deaths would be 8500. They
add that prescribing statins to all those
eligible would lead to 1200 cases of
myopathy, 200 cases of rhabdomyolysis,
and 12 300 new diagnoses of diabetes
mellitus.
40. And a third:Will an Apple a Day
Keep Pancreatic Cancer Away?
• “Apoptosis," is a Greek expression meaning
"leaves that fall from trees." Why?
• Chemicals :flavonoids and glycans -- yellow in
color, and these induce the leaves to apoptose.
• Control of proliferation and cell cycle.
• This is a very beautiful study from La Vecchia and
colleagues suggesting that a diet rich in
flavonoids and glycans can reduce the chances
of developing pancreatic cancer by more than
25%.

45. BUT… Past knowledge and practice
might be outdated or inadequate
Graduate Medical School Practiced Physician
46. Case
• A 70-year-old female with a history of
hyperlipidemia & a new diagnosis of hypertension,
looking at hypertension treatment options. You
found a good randomized controlled trial looking
at medications to control hypertension, but the
study's inclusion criteria were a population of 18
to 65-year-olds.
• Should you ignore the results as the specific
patient does not meet the study demographics?
• Should you ignore the age difference between the
specific patient and study population? This is
where the clinical judgment helps bridge the gap
between the relevant scientific evidence and the
specific patient being treated.
47. • Most clinical studies have specific inclusion &
exclusion criteria, as well as the specific
population studied. More often than not, the
patient being treated by the clinician will have
one or more substantial differences from the
population in the study. The medical provider
must then use their clinical judgment to
determine how the variations between the
patient & the study population are important
or not and how they affect applying the study
results to the specific patient.
54. ضع

• Clinicians using EBM must put all of
the information in the context of the
patient's values or preferences.
• The patient's values or preferences
may conflict with some of the
possible options. Even strong
evidence supporting a specific
treatment may not be compatible
with the patient's preferences, and
thus, the clinician may not
recommend the treatment to the
patient. Also, the treatment might
not apply to the specific patient.
55. But… A practice based exclusively on science
& math is effective only if your patients are
robots!
Don’t forget to allow for individual human differences
and personal preferences!
56. The patient’s preferences MUST be considered!
An important rule in Evidence Based Medicine…
It STARTS with the patient and ENDS with the patient.
