Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), also known as pseudotumor cerebri, is a syndrome characterized by an increase in intracranial pressure of unknown cause, leading to headaches, frequently in the morning, progressive vision loss, papilledema, pulsatile tinnitus, and in most cases, regular cerebrospinal fluid studies. The most robust and consistent risk factors occur in female patients of reproductive age and those with obesity. This condition in recent years has increased in reported cases due to an escalation in the rate of obesity and unhealthy lifestyles. Currently, there are varying therapeutic options for primary and secondary PTC patients. The first line of therapy includes weight loss and medications such as Acetazolamide, Topiramate. Although corticosteroids have previously been used, they are not recommended due to the risk of weight gain and therefore worsening the symptoms of intracranial hypertension in these patients.

Insomnia disorder (ID) is a sleep-wake condition characterized by dissatisfaction or complaint with sleep quantity or quality, which can be caused by various causes, such as behavioral and organic comorbidities. ID incurs many problems for patients in their life. This disorder has a real impact on all aspects of the workforce. Healthcare workers can have a decrease in productivity and a decrease in the quality of patient care, which produces a high cost for the health care system in the service provided to patients and the cost that his management incurs.

At the time of Augustus, thanks to the augustinian plague, medicine, represented mainly by the Greek people in Rome at that time, is among the so-called artes professions. Originally there belonged a lawyer, teacher and surveyor, in the concept of the Roman profession, who was both an architect and a builder. These professions represented a certain art in their operation, a significant internal, subjective deposit with a high degree of education, the ability to know. Thanks to technology, the contemporary world tends, because it is a technical area, to move everything to try to measure everything. This trend also significantly instemlines the field of artes professions, an exception to today’s form of surveying. In medicine, the importance of the subjective component begins to disappear. There is a tendency towards objectification, i.e., measurement. This leads to a system where the doctor already loses the ability to examine the patient at the expense of paraclinical examinations – these are imaging methods, chemical laboratory methods. The doctor has trouble perceiving the patient’s difficulties with his senses – to hear, to see, to feel, to perceive psychological problems.

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common human neurodegenerative disorder, but no current therapy has been proven to be disease-modifying. Epidemiological as well as interventional studies indicate that the plant-based diet has the potential to prevent and treat PD. There are pathophysiological reasons that make this likely to be true. The Western diet is among the greatest risk factors for developing neurodegenerative diseases such as PD. Consumption of high quantities of animal saturated fat has been widely reported to be associated with increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. Pesticide, herbicide, and heavy metal exposures through the consumption of meat are linked to an increased risk of Parkinson disease in some epidemiologic studies. Interventional studies with a plant-based diet have achieved positive results. Accumulating evidence indicates that oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to the cascade of events leading to degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. In addition, dysbiosis of the gut microbiota may be involved in the pathogenesis of PD, inducing immune cell activation and neuroinflammation of the central nervous system. The benefits of a plant-based diet result from the increased levels of phytonutrients and the intake of fiber, which supports a beneficial gut microbiota and decreases the incidence of constipation, an independent risk factor. A plant-based diet can also facilitate the use of a protein-redistribution diet to improve the effectiveness of treatment with L-dopa. 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)
