Intermittent fasting, on other hand has become a fad these days. People are so obsessed with the concept of slimness that nutritional deficiencies occurring as an outcome of faulty eating are often ignored. Eating habits among children have also undergone U-turn, mostly influenced by television ads. Due to industrialization and working females, more and more packed food as well as fast food has replaced the traditional dietary patterns. It’s high time to contemplate about the food we consume every day. 1–9

An attempt is made to review the salient research findings of the application of astronomical ephemeris in agriculture. In biodynamic agriculture, lunar rhythms are used as a calendar for scheduling farming operations like tilling, planting and harvesting of crops. Studies reveal seed germination, growth and production of crops are appraised due to the lunar influences. The scientific understanding of rhythms and its reflection through 12 zodiac signs are evident in multiple germination studies, growth and yield analysis on crops. Since these are non-monitoring inputs, more insights into rhythms and their physiological response that results in high-end physiological and biochemical characterization of various parts of plant is warranted. Planting based on the lunar cycles is an important component of biodynamic agriculture. Though several subjective insights are shared by the farmers there is a need for region-specific scientific studies to evaluate those experiences objectively. Compared to studies on biodynamic preparations, manures and their effect on crop, few studies on planting by moon rhythms are reported under field condition. Planting in sync with lunar rhythms is a zero-cost input for the farmers to take advantage for enhancing crop production and simultaneously improve the quality of byproducts.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated stressors (e.g., job loss, physical distancing, loss of a loved one, physical illness) have resulted in widespread, ongoing social disruption and related psychological distress for many across the globe. Mindfulness-based Interventions (MBIs), which are programs designed to help strengthen one’s awareness of physical and mental experiences in the present moment without judgment, have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing such psychological difficulties. As such, they may be a low-cost and accessible resource for addressing pandemic-related psychological maladies. Moreover, they can be administered via telehealth modalities including smartphone apps and websites. These tools may help increase accessibility of mental health care while supporting physical distancing recommendations. We reviewed studies evaluating the effectiveness of MBIs for reducing psychological symptoms after prior community disasters including typhoons, tsunamis, and hurricanes. That research demonstrates that MBIs may help alleviate anxiety, post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, and depression in of the wake of such events. However, most of these studies had very small sample sizes and other methodological limitations. More generally, participation in telehealth-delivered MBIs has been associated with decreases in stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Importantly, MBIs administered online demonstrate comparable effectiveness to traditional in-person MBIs. Future research on MBIs for community disaster survivors should utilize larger sample sizes and include longer-term follow-up assessments to evaluate the sustained impacts of MBIs for addressing psychological disturbances. This knowledge may help provide accessible and effective coping tools as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future community disasters and public health crises.

Depression in the global population continues to have a negative impact on the health of individuals. Data shows there is an increase in the use of anti-depressant pharmaceuticals for treating depression in particular for underserved and at-risk populations. This paper supports the practice of yoga as a form of treatment for depression. The authors evaluates current systemic research and randomized clinical trial studies that support the efficacy of healing benefits of yoga and their positive impact on decreasing depression. The authors also address the potential mechanism that can explain the observed benefits of yoga in relationship to depression.

Ethnopharmacological relevance : Mimosa caesalpiniifolia popularly known as “sabiá” or “sansão-do-campo” is a Brazilian Northeast native perennial tree used for several purposes and in traditional medicine is used for inflammatory diseases, hypertension and fungal infections. Aim of the study: The objective of this study was to identify the compounds in the hydroalcoholic extract of EEM leaves encapsulated with aerosil ® 20%, and to evaluate their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Material and methods : The antioxidant activity of EEM leaf hydroalcoholic extract was determined by using both the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging and the oxygen radical absorbance capacity in vitro assay. The phytochemical study of EEM was analyzed by experiments with FIA-ESI-IT-MS n (Direct Flow Analysis-ionization Electrospray Ion Trap Tandem Mass Spectrometry). Anti-inflammatory properties of EEM were evaluated in ear edema induced by xylene in rats. Results: The phytochemical investigation of EEM resulted in the identification of flavonoids glycosides (m/z 563, 579, 621) and derivatives of catechin (m/z 595, 611, 741 and 757). EEM leaf extract had antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. EEM (125 and 250mg/kg, p.o.) significantly inhibited the ear edema induced by xylene (52% and 64% respectively). Conclusion: Our results suggest the antioxidant action and the anti-inflammatory effect in the mouse ear edema model of EEM are related to the presence of flavonoids and catechin derivatives revealed in phytochemical screening. These results support the ethnopharmacological use of Mimosa caesalpiniifolia in folk medicine.
民族药理学相关性：含羞草通常被称为“sabiá”或“sansão-do-campo”，是一种巴西东北部本地多年生树木，用于多种用途，在传统医学中用于治疗炎症性疾病、高血压和真菌感染。研究目的：本研究的目的是鉴定20%aerosil®胶囊包裹的EEM叶的水醇提取物中的化合物，并评估其抗氧化和抗炎作用。材料与方法：采用1，1-二苯基-2-苦丁酰肼自由基清除能力和氧自由基吸收能力测定EEM叶水醇提取物的抗氧化活性。采用FIA-ESI-IT-MSn（Direct Flow Analysis Ion Trap Tandem Mass Spectrometry）对EEM的植物化学研究进行了分析。在二甲苯致大鼠耳水肿中评价EEM的抗炎特性。结果：EEM的植物化学研究鉴定了黄酮苷（m/z563579621）和儿茶素衍生物（m/z595611741757）。EEM叶提取物具有抗氧化和抗炎特性。EEM（125和250mg/kg，p.o.）显著抑制二甲苯引起的耳水肿（分别为52%和64%）。结论：我们的研究结果表明，EEM小鼠耳水肿模型的抗氧化作用和抗炎作用与植物化学筛选中发现的黄酮类化合物和儿茶素衍生物的存在有关。这些结果支持含羞草在民间医学中的民族药理学用途。

The 2003 WHO report begins with the words of its Director-General who said: “Today, the global health situation forces us to ask ourselves urgent questions about equality in health. In some areas one can expect to live longer and more comfortably while in others one despairs of being able to contain disease when the means to do so are known”. To illustrate this inequality, the report states that a girl born in Japan has a life expectancy of 85years; if she was born in Sierra Leone, her life expectancy will not exceed 36years. G. Pison 1 confirms that the risk of death for a child under the age of five years is less than 10 by 1000 in North America and in sub-Saharan article attempts to ask these questions, but does not attempt to answer all questions especially the complex ones. We will present, by way of illustration, the case of a locality in a Maghreb country, which had been the subject of numerous works by the author or his students.

In this review, we present evidence collected over a decade concerning signaling pathways and pathogenic mechanisms that are associated with oxidative stress in Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s is associated with several protein such as α-synuclein and signaling pathways such as Wnt signaling pathway. The review highlights the connection of the Wnt mediated pathway with other biological pathways that are known to have a role in neurodegeneration and the orchestrated role of several proteins in mitochondrial oxidative stress in Parkinsons. We have highlighted neuroprotective agents that eliminate the excess of reactive oxygen species and have a potential to be developed as therapeutics for Parkinson.
