Pain is a subjective experience for which we lack a thorough mechanistic understanding. While it has often been considered a secondary symptom of a disease, research has revealed that chronic pain can be recognized as a disease of its own. Preclinical studies often use animal models to understanding the pathology and test potential therapies with clinical trials of novel analgesics often showing underwhelming results. From a clinician's perspective, pain can be challenging to treat without incurring undesirable drug effects. Pain research, diagnosis, and treatment have changed dramatically over the last two decades. This has coincided with shifts in reliance on opioid-based approaches to managing pain. Here we present an overview of recent advances in preclinical research, novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment, along with considerations for animal care. Collectively, this report may provide a guide on which to base relevant policy changes that would meet the demands of societal need and satisfy the need for scientific evidence.

Color vision is crucial for daily life, and conditions such as color blindness and deficiencies can negatively impact one's quality of life and livelihood. According to a study in India there was an increase in the prevalence of color vision deficiency (CVD) among children and young adult teenagers, who are losing empowering opportunities in education and academics. However, this trend can be managed with evidence-based new interventions and objectives from India's developing nation models. This policy paper mainly highlights the need for effective strategies to address this issue. Early identification of CVD is crucial for effective interventions and rehabilitation to reduce medical, behavioral, and economic burdens on patients, families, and society. Strategies include policy prescriptions, advocacy, public health campaigns, investing in a trained workforce, and using technology to facilitate early screening in educational institutes. These strategies aim to address the growing healthcare crisis of CVD.
