Obesity is a significant issue for public health that is linked to a variety of chronic ailments, including cancer. Prostate cancer is the most frequent disease in men, and there is growing evidence that obesity might impact prostate cancer risk and prognosis. This article reviews the present body of scientific knowledge on the link between obesity and prostate cancer, emphasizing the involvement of metabolic syndromes. It examines the evidence indicating a direct relationship between obesity and prostate cancer risk and the likely processes behind this link, such as alterations in hormonal, immune-modulatory, and metabolic pathways. Furthermore, it investigates the influence of metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

The first case of COVID-19, a coronavirus disease, was reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and spread globally. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is regarded as the most challenging pandemic in the current century. COVID-19 has brought scientists together on a platform where they search for different therapeutic and preventive strategies to combat this coronavirus. Scientists and healthcare workers are working on developing new vaccines that are safe and take less time to develop. They are trying to elucidate various target sites on 2019-nCov that could act as potential candidates for adequate vaccine preparation. Besides this, there is also a need for proper community involvement to elicit the coronavirus disease by taking preventive measures and spreading awareness. In this review, we have focused on how scientists can develop vaccines against new variants and convince the public about vaccine acceptance at the community level. This manuscript reviews Strategies for Covid-19 Vaccination Development, Strategies for Covid-19 Vaccination Acceptance, and Community Engagement in Covid-19 Vaccination plans

Obesity has shaped the global pandemic as a major health problem. It is related to chronic metabolic diseases and cancer development, like endometrial cancer. Recent studies have revealed a strong correlation between higher Body Mass Index (BMI) and endometrial cancer, predicting that a higher BMI is a leading cause of endometrial cancer by disrupting the balance of adipocytokines and hormones. This article reviews the current scientific knowledge on the relationship between obesity and endometrial cancer and the role of insulin resistance and adipokines. It also addresses the necessity for additional studies to thoroughly comprehend the underlying processes and create efficient methods for preventing and treating endometrial cancer in obese people.

Babies’ brains are ready to absorb information when they are born. However, babies may comprehend some concepts about items and their connections to one another. They can touch, feel, watch, listen, and feels everything. This enables them to understand their older; they may discover that mixing yellow and blue paint produces green. Children learn through exploring and experimenting. This is the way they improve their cognitive abilities. Human brain development is extremely fast between the ages of 20 and 36 weeks and proceeds until 20 months. The brain includes all the neurons required for life at birth. Of course, if the baby is brought to term, an infant's brain is 25% of its adult weight at birth. The brain would be 75 % of its body weight by age 2 (90 percent by age 6). Children will go through various phases of cognitive growth between birth and the age of two, such as sensory growth and learning ability. Children naturally choose the meals they like the most, so the difficulty is to make healthy options enticing. Of course, no issue how excellent our motives are; convincing your eight-year-old that an apple is as sweet as a biscuit is going to be tough. Therefore, you might ensure that your child's food is as healthy and wholesome as possible while letting them enjoy a few of their preferred delights. Development.

cer’ often describes malignant tumors. The issue of cancerous stem cells is not a novelty but has existed for centuries. Different civilizations have handled the stem cell subject depending on the knowledge at hand. A hallmark is a distinguishing factor that separates cancers from other conditions. Hence, there have been arguments about the exclusion or inclusion criteria for the six original hallmarks. This review will introduce stemness as a new hallmark for cancer and argue why it should get included. Thus, future studies will focus on how the tumor microenvironment can get used to fight cancer. Methodology. A methodology of literature search using "stemness" as the keyword gets used in the review to avoid biasedness. Results. Stem cells can undergo physiological changes to form malignant cells. Cancer cells are in a variety of cells in the body. The microenvironment of the tumor cells promotes their progression by nourishing them. Conclusions. The results imply that stemness is the behavior of stem cells to self-renew and differentiate to form cells in all organisms. Stem cells are present in all types of hematological and solid cancers. It means that a problem in the self-renewal or differentiation process can lead to the formation of tumors or tumorigenic.

Dementia is a severe condition affecting more than 55 million people worldwide. In elderly patients, it leads to an overall decline in memory and thinking skills. It affects the patient and those around the patient, including family and caregivers. The symptoms can become so severe that the person's ability to perform everyday activities becomes compromised. This study aims to search and collect information about the sensitivity and specificity of available laboratory diagnostic methods for patients with Dementia and identify if these methods will be effective in giving a specific and definitive diagnosis. The specificity and sensitivity of four main laboratory testing methods have been included in this review: blood panels, cerebrospinal fluid, plasma biomarkers, hormone testing, and genetic testing. The methods are each explained separately with details of their importance and which specific parameters they screen for have haven included. Numerous blood panels and laboratory diagnostic techniques have been suggested for the timely and accurate diagnosis of Dementia and its various types; however, when the sensitivity and specificity of these techniques are considered, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma biomarkers are found to be the most effective. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other types of Dementia are now diagnosed using the biomarkers amyloid- (A), tau, and phosphorylated tau (p-tau181). With 93 percent accuracy in diagnosis, the innovative Precivity AD test created by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis might be regarded as both highly sensitive and specific.
痴呆症是一种严重的疾病，影响着全世界5500多万人。在老年患者中，它会导致记忆力和思维能力的全面下降。它会影响患者和患者周围的人，包括家人和护理人员。症状可能会变得非常严重，以至于患者进行日常活动的能力受到损害。本研究旨在搜索和收集有关现有实验室诊断方法对痴呆症患者的敏感性和特异性的信息，并确定这些方法是否能有效地给出具体和明确的诊断。本文综述了四种主要实验室检测方法的特异性和敏感性:血检、脑脊液、血浆生物标志物、激素检测和基因检测。每种方法都单独解释，详细说明了它们的重要性以及它们所筛选的具体参数。为了及时准确地诊断痴呆症及其各种类型，已经提出了许多血检和实验室诊断技术;然而，当考虑到这些技术的敏感性和特异性时，脑脊液(CSF)和血浆生物标志物被发现是最有效的。阿尔茨海默病(AD)和其他类型的痴呆症现在使用生物标志物淀粉样蛋白- (A)、tau和磷酸化tau (p-tau181)进行诊断。位于圣路易斯的华盛顿大学医学院(Washington University School of Medicine)发明的创新的precisivity AD测试，诊断准确率高达93%，可能被认为是高度敏感和特异的。

Patients with cognitive impairment diseases are no longer fully oriented to time and space. The disease may be the root cause of all cognitive impairments (CI). Depending on the precise diagnosis, different cognitive disorders require different treatments. The three major goals of neuroimaging in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are to detect very early AD at a prodromal stage of moderate cognitive impairment, to differentiate AD from other dementia-causing illnesses, and to forecast the progression of MCI to AD. Consequently, this study's objective is to examine the most sensitive instrumental testing techniques for the early identification of cognitive deterioration in AD and dementia patients.

According to the 2019 National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS), 3.4 million Malaysians are affected by at least two of the three major noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), i.e., diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. The fundamental issue in Malaysia is that individuals are unwilling to attend the hospital for periodic examinations and to seek preventative medical care. It is necessary to adapt football training as a hobby and concurrently as a preventative measure against the NCDs as it appears to be the optimal strategy. In Germany, a prospective interventional study was conducted. Statistical analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26 revealed that providing middle-aged hypertensive patients with football training can improve blood pressure control and minimize the need for antihypertensive medication. Using SPSS version 22, it has been demonstrated in a randomized control trial in the Faroe Islands that football training combined with professional nutrition counseling had a greater effect on metabolic and cardiovascular health prediabetes individuals aged 55 to 70 than expert dietary advice alone. At the state level, Selangor has greatly progressed in health sector reform. Initiatives to minimize noncommunicable diseases have received special attention. This study implies that the mission and vision of the Selangor Health and Sports Council align. After a comprehensive assessment, a viable policy for integrating football training as a preventative intervention should be considered.
根据2019年全国健康和发病率调查(NHMS)， 340万马来西亚人受到三种主要非传染性疾病(NCDs)中的至少两种的影响，即糖尿病、高血压和高胆固醇。马来西亚的根本问题是，个人不愿到医院定期检查和寻求预防性医疗护理。有必要将足球训练作为一种爱好，同时作为一种预防非传染性疾病的措施，因为它似乎是最佳策略。在德国进行了一项前瞻性介入研究。利用IBM SPSS Statistics version 26进行统计分析发现，对中年高血压患者进行足球训练可以改善血压控制，减少降压药的需求。使用SPSS version 22，在法罗群岛的一项随机对照试验中证明，足球训练结合专业营养咨询对55至70岁的前驱糖尿病患者的代谢和心血管健康的影响大于单独的专家饮食建议。在州一级，雪兰莪州在卫生部门改革方面取得了很大进展。尽量减少非传染性疾病的举措受到了特别关注。这项研究表明，雪兰莪州卫生和体育理事会的使命和愿景是一致的。在综合评估后，应考虑将足球训练作为一种预防性干预手段进行整合的可行政策。

People worldwide are living longer. Today most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. Every country in the world is experiencing growth in both the size and the proportion of older persons. By 2030, 1 in 6 people worldwide will be 60 years or over. The share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion). The number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million. While this shift in the distribution of a country's population towards older ages – known as population aging – started in high-income countries (for example, in Japan, 30% of the population is already over 60 years old), it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change. By 205the 0, two-thirds of the world's population over 60 years will live in low- and aging-income countries. In Brazil, the population is getting older. Data released on 22/07/2022 at 10:00 am by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) show that, in 2021, Brazil had more than 10% of its population formed by elderly people aged 65 or over the deity. According to the survey, last year (2021), the Brazilian population was estimated at 212.5 million people. Of these, 21.6 million were aged 65 or over, representing 10.2%.

The present study aimed to investigate the impact of national policies and awareness programs on the incidence and mortality of chronic liver diseases, specifically cirrhosis. A multi-year retrospective analysis was conducted utilizing data collected between 1990 and 2017. Results indicate that implementing these interventions was associated with a significant decrease in overall mortality and an estimated annual percentage change in cases of cirrhosis. Furthermore, the data revealed that in 2017, alcohol consumption was a leading contributor to deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) among individuals aged 15-49 years. These findings highlight the importance of continued efforts to address the issue of chronic liver disease through targeted public health interventions.
