Cardiometabolic disorders, encompassing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, represent a significant global health burden. This comprehensive review explores emerging biomarkers that offer promising avenues for improving diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of these complex conditions. We focus on twelve novel biomarkers: growth hormone-15 (GH-15), CD40, ST2, interleukin-6 (IL-6), heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), neuregulin-1 (NRG-1), copeptin, adropin, preptin, irisin, and galectin-3 (Gal-3). Each biomarker is examined in terms of its biological role, potential clinical applications, and evaluation methods. These biomarkers reflect various pathophysiological processes, including inflammation, fibrosis, metabolic dysregulation, and cardiac remodeling, providing insights into the complex mechanisms underlying cardiometabolic disorders. Clinical applications range from early diagnosis and risk stratification to monitoring disease progression and treatment response. Some biomarkers, such as NRG-1 and irisin, also represent potential therapeutic targets. Despite their promise, challenges remain in translating these biomarkers into clinical practice. These include the need for standardization of assay methods, integration with existing risk assessment tools, and validation through longitudinal studies. Future directions...

Migraines are a debilitating neurological condition affecting millions worldwide, characterized by intense headaches often accompanied by nausea, photophobia, and sensitivity to sound. Conventional treatments, such as analgesics and triptans, provide relief but are often associated with side effects and limited efficacy for chronic sufferers. This has led to a growing interest in alternative therapies, particularly herbal treatments, for migraine management. This paper explores the potential of herbal remedies, including feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), butterbur (Petasites hybridus), peppermint oil, lavender oil, and ginger, in alleviating migraine symptoms. Herbal treatments have shown promise due to their anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, and neuroprotective properties, which target the underlying mechanisms of migraines. Feverfew and butterbur, for instance, have been highlighted in clinical studies for their efficacy in reducing migraine frequency and severity. Additionally, essential oils like peppermint and lavender offer immediate symptomatic relief when used topically or through aromatherapy. Despite their benefits, the use of herbal treatments requires careful consideration of dosage, preparation, and potential side effects. This study emphasizes the need for robust, evidence-based research...

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has emerged as a transformative approach in cardiovascular medicine, aiming to reduce surgical trauma and improve patient outcomes compared to traditional open-heart procedures. Originating nearly a century ago, MICS has undergone significant advancements, evolving from rudimentary instruments to sophisticated robotic-assisted and AI-driven techniques. This evolution has enabled surgeons to perform complex cardiac surgeries through small incisions, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and organs. Key procedures such as aortic and mitral valve replacements, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and maze surgeries for atrial fibrillation have been successfully adapted to MICS. These procedures leverage innovations like robotic systems that enhance precision, minimize human error, and provide better visualization of the operative field. As a result, patients experience reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and improved cosmetic outcomes due to smaller surgical scars. Recent studies and clinical trials underscore the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of MICS across diverse patient populations. The adoption of MICS continues to expand globally, driven by its potential to mitigate...

The central nervous system disorders represent a worldwide public health problem. Neurodegeneration is associated with many transitions in brain including synaptic disorder and neuro cognition decline. It is shielded by a barrier which controls the entry of compounds into the brain known as blood brain barrier (BBB), thereby regulating brain homeostasis. In achieving a therapeutic amount of drug to the proper site of action in the body and then maintaining the desired amount of drug concentration for a sufficient time interval to be clinically effective for treatment. Particularly, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are becoming further established in the elderly inhabitants of the society. These ailments usually encompass advanced degeneration & neuronal loss, rendering these disorders spread and difficult to treat. There are various types of pharmaceutical approaches to treat neurological disorders. The drug loaded nanocarriers are one of them. In this review, we will address the different applications of drug loaded nanocarriers in the treatment of various neurological disorders. Moreover, integration of...

Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial skin disorder of pilosebaceous unit which majorly affects teenagers, but it can continue into adulthood and cause aesthetical as well as psychological problems. This review article enlightens the knowledge related to cause and treatment of acne vulgaris. Several factors which are involved in the development of acne vulgaris are hormonal activity, sebum production, follicular epidermal hyperproliferation, colonization with Propioni-bacterium acnes (P. acnes) and inflammation. There are several treatment methods available for acne, although some new therapeutic agents have been introduced during the last few years; synthetic drugs still remain the best option in the treatment of acne. However, rapid appearance of antibiotic resistance and high re ocurrence rates have led to a search for alternatives in nature. The use of herbal drugs in prevention and treatment of acne vulgaris nowadays increased because of their efficiency, availability and lesser side effects than synthetic drugs. Some common used topical herbal remedies with significant anti-inflammatory activities antimicrobial activities have mentioned in this review article include tea tree...
