Worldwide use of Ruta Graveolens as an herb and as alternative medicine has increased dramatically in the past decades without any increased effort to compensate for the toxicity and the unsafe human consumption. While pharmacological studies on drugs that cause cardiac, hepatic, and nephrotoxicity have resulted in drug termination, the same type of studies on herbal medicine are ignored and actions have not been taken to protect the youth from this herb in their productive stages of life. The endemic production of Ruta Graveolens is in India [1], Ethiopia [2], and South Africa [3] where there is a dramatic growth in population that masks the toxic and infertility effect on the younger population. The purpose of this study is to bring awareness that Ruta Graveolens is a toxic plant and should be handled with caution.

W Jin and the Treatment of Illness in General, and Cognitive Impairment in Particular. This article cites numerous studies that have found qigong and tai chi to be effective in treating a wide range of illnesses, then proceeds to review several studies where Ba Duan Jin, a popular set of qigong exercises and a tool of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has been used to treat cognitive impairment.

The agile advancement of technologies utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) has significantly improved healthrelated services such as electronic drug prescriptions as well as Electronic Health Records (EHR) insurance information [1,2]. The collection of patients’ medical data can be made more accessible using IoT technologies by improving workflow automation. As a result, meaningful information about patients’ symptoms is provided immediately, facilitating their treatment and remote monitoring in real-time [3,4]. A significant advantage is that it is possible to monitor patients from home via wireless sensors, thus reducing the need for regular hospital visits [5]. Furthermore, these medical devices can send alerts if something serious happens [6-8]. Also, the patient’s surrounding area can be monitored, and, through data processing, health conclusions can be drawn [9]. The volume of data stored in EHRs has increased significantly through the use of IoT devices located in different locations, and managing this data is extremely difficult [10]. Cyberattacks have also increased as most medical systems are vulnerable to a single point of failure resulting in information leakage with severe consequences [11].

SWOT Analysis (or SWOT Matrix) Tool as a Strategic Planning and Management Technique in the Health Care Industry and Its Advantages. Background and Objective: The main theme of this article is to discuss the use of SWOT analysis (or SWOT matrix) tool as a strategic planning and management technique in the health care industry and its advantages. Methods: The Author of this article has chosen literature review methodology of random research articles and literature on the websites regarding SWOT Analysis tool or SWOT Matrix. 15 websites and articles were reviewed for writing article “SWOT analysis (or SWOT matrix) tool as a strategic planning and management technique in the health care industry and its advantages”. The literature review has discussed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in details regarding healthcare industry. The SWOT analysis for the health care industry is written in the four tables and then interpreted in the SPSS Diagrammatic presentation. Results: There are four tables, and four SPSS diagrams represents the SWOT Matrix tool in the healthcare industry. Four tables explain the 6 common Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats for the healthcare industry mentioned in 15 Articles. Four SPSS diagrams show the frequency of SWOT matrix tool of 6 common Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats for the healthcare industry mentioned in 15 Articles. Conclusion: To sum up, SWOT analysis or SWOT matrix tool is very useful quality management tool for the industry. Strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats helps to identify all the characteristics in the organization to start the process of improvement. SWOT analysis tool is infact tool for various industries engineering, defense, aviation, motor, real state, tourism, etc. SWOT tool helps administration to simplify the challenges an organization is facing and would face in the future to write and implement the corrective actions for improvement. SWOT analysis also helps to identify the 7 Muda wastes of the organization to reduce the wastes to make the organization reliable productive and profitable.

Anti-Ag-ing Potential of Catharanthus Roseus: Catharanthus roseus, also known as Vinca rosea, is a member of the Apocynaceae family. C. roseus parts are used for a variety of medical purposes. Aging is a natural human “aging mosaic” that manifests and follows different trajectories in various organs, tissues, and cells over time. Previous study showed that C. roseus also has a high antioxidant capacity. Antioxidants are free radical scavengers that protect the human body from free radicals by suppressing oxidative chain reactions. Aging is a natural human “aging mosaic” that manifests and follows different trajectories in various organs, tissues, and cells over time Thus, C. roseus could be used as anti-aging properties.
