Hypertension is both a cardiovascular condition and risk factor for other forms of cardiovascular disease. An increase in BP increases the forces applied to the endothelium and can cause initiation of an atherosclerotic lesion. Changes in pressure may also cause established plaques to rupture, which not only can initiate an event such as an infarct but also cause a proliferation of existing plaques. From 40 to 70 years of age, an increase of systolic BP by 20 mmHg increases risk of CVD in systolic blood pressure of hypertensive will prevent one death for every 11 patients treated. Basically, hypertension is a condition of chronically elevated blood pressure. Nutrition treatment of hypertension include lifestyle modification in which nutrition therapy, physical activity, ideal BMI, weight loss goals are added to prevent the more risk. Furthermore, the DASH is used to approach the nutrition therapy for hypertension. Minerals are added to diet to treat the hypertension i.e., potassium, calcium magnesium have all been positively correlated with reduction of BP and treatment of hypertension. It is important to remember that the nutritional effects demonstrated by the DASH study and in particular the relationship between K, Ca, Mg and blood pressure reduction were a result of a dietary pattern rich in these nutrients rather than mineral intake from supplements.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the food intake and its relationship to mood status in undergraduate and graduate students at the Faculdade de Saúde Pública - USP. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, carried out during the pandemic period, from July to October 2021. Food intake and mood status were assessed using an online food frequency questionnaire and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), respectively. Results: Most of the sample showed symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. There was an association (p-value < 0.05) between the intake of “sweets and desserts” and the presentation of symptoms of stress and the “soups and pasta”; “rice and tubers”, “greens and vegetables”, “legumes” and “bread and cookies” groups and presentation of anxiety symptoms, as well as the association between the weekly intake of the “meat and fish”; “legumes and eggs”; “rice and tubers” and “sweets and desserts” groups according to the course. Conclusions: Studies that delve more deeply into the psychological phenomena involved in food intake are needed so that adequate nutritional strategies can be developed.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Trichilia monadelpha stem bark extract on the fatty acid composition of rabbit’s thigh meat. A total of 40, 6-7 weeks New Zealand white × Chinchilla crossbred rabbits with an average weight of 490 ± 4.40 were randomly divided to 4 groups with 5 replications consisting of 2 animals each in a completely randomized design. Rabbits in treatment 1 (T1) was fed basal diet with no Trichilia monadelpha stem bark extract (TMSB), T2, T3 and T4 were fed basal diet with 3mL, 6mL and 9mL TMSB per rabbit/day. Phytochemical analysis of TMSB revealed the presence of tannins (10.95 mg/g), alkaloids (9.22 mg/g), saponins (4.75 mg/g), oxalates (3.10 mg/g), flavonoids (15.88 mg/g), phenols (18.46 mg/g), terpenoids (8.62 mg/g), glycosides (7.11 mg/g) and 2-diphenyl 1-piccrlhydrazyhydrate (430.8 mg/g). Concentrations of vitamins identified in the extract are; vitamin A (2.190 mg/100g), vitamin B1 (0.567 mg/100g), vitamin B2 (0.301 mg/100g), vitamin B3 (0.227 mg/100g), vitamin B9 (0.080 mg/100g), vitamin B12 (0.209 mg/100g) and vitamin C (5.680 mg/100g). Composition of saturated fatty acid (TSFA) decrease with a significant increase in monosaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) (P˂0.05) across the treatments. It was found that TMSB significantly (P˂0.05) influenced the concentration of total unsaturated fatty acid (TSFA). Therefore, it can be concluded that TMSB is capable of modulating the fatty acid and improving the quality of meat from rabbit without causing any deleterious effect on the performance of the animal.

Food preservatives are chemical or natural substances that are added to the food products which will help to increase the shelf life and also inhibits the growth of microorganisms that causes food spoilage. The objective of review is to know and understand the adverse effects of chemical preservative in food products. Even though the chemical preservative used is approved by the FDA, whereas the long-term usage of some preservatives can causedifferent health problems in humans including cancer. This review is also intended to understand how the preservative induce different health problem in the body if consumed for long term. It is not possible to review all the preservatives hence, mainly focused on sodium sulphite, sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate, Tertiary butylhydroquinoe (tBHQ) and Butylated hydroxylanisole (BHA) which are commonly used food preservatives in beverages, dried foodproducts, meat and other processed food. The long-term consumption of the food which is treated with the above-mentioned food preservatives showed signs of carcinogenicity, genotoxicity and other allergies. In future the usage of natural food preservative which is derived from plants and other natural sources can make a drastic change in growing health problems using chemical preservatives.

Hydatid cyst, is zoonotic helminthic parasites of Taeniid families having significant economic crisis in the world. A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 to characterize hydatid cyst lesions, analysis of associated risk factors and estimate annual direct financial loss due to hydatid cyst infected organs condemnation during postmortem examination in dromedary camels slaughtered at Addis Ababa, Akaki Kality Municipal abattoir, Ethiopia. A total of 370 camels were purposively sampled and systemic meat inspection was employed to detect the presence of hydatid cyst. Out of 370 hydatid cysts like cases examined in different organs, 96 (25.9%) camels were found harboring hydatid cyst. The percentage of hydatid cyst in adult camels were 29.67%; OR= 1.54 while in young it was 18.55%. Likewise, the prevalence of hydatid cyst in poor, medium and good body condition score was 61.4%; OR= 10.79, 30.89%; OR= 3.30 and 12.11% respectively. Results indicated that age and body condition score had statically significant effect (P<0.05) on prevalence of hydatid cyst. The overall prevalence of hydatid cyst in male dromedary camel was (14.59%; OR=0.83;) found higher than female (11.35%). The overall prevalence of hydatid cyst in camels originated from Borana, East Hararge, Jigjiga, Karrayyu, Matahara, Minjar-shenkora and Wollo were 9.18%, 0.54%; OR= 2.12, 4.86%; OR= 2.06, 3.51%; OR= 1.18, 3.78%; OR= 0.94, 1.08%; OR= 0.78 and 2.97%; OR= 1.31, respectively. Result indicated, origin and sex didn’t have significant effect (P>0.05) on the overall prevalence of hydatid cyst. Out of 96 total infected camels, only 9 (9.38%) cases had hydatid cyst on both lung and liver while the remaining 87 (90.62%) cases had hydatid cysts only in single organs. Of 105 total infected organs, percentage of distribution of hydatid cyst in lungs, livers, spleen and heart were 87.61%, 10.47%, 0.95% and 0.95% respectively. Result showed that out of 105 examined organs of camels, 51 organs harboring less than three hydatid cysts number while 54 organs had greater than or equal to three hydatid cysts. Grossly, hydatid cyst of lung had a shape of cotton ball, implanted in lung parenchyma, filled with clear to slightly turbid fluid, soft and malleable to touch and inside white germinal layer while hydatid cyst on the livers was firm, calcified and strong when it was about to be cut off. Microscopically, hydatid cyst structure overlying organs had a fibrous layer on the external (pericyst), an acellular eosinophilic laminated membrane layer on the middle (ectocyst) and a germinal layer internally (endocyst) and protoscolices were also seen in a lung section. Fibrous layer had infiltration of epitheliod macrophages, lymphocytes and eosinophils showed inflammatory reaction response to hydatid cyst layer and cellular infiltration was lessened when they went away from hydatid cysts.

According to the widely held Indian belief system known as 'ATITHI DEVO BHAV,' the guest is revered as a deity in Indian culture, which is true across the nation. Many studies in gastronomy imply that food is at the heart of every culture. There is just 3.9 per cent of Indian foods that have a Geographical Indicator (GI) marking. There must be increased public awareness of the GI labelled foods since they represent national pride. One must also remember that the GI meals will boost culinary tourism in our nation.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is a serious disease that has caused multiple deaths in various countries in the world. Globally, as of May 23, 2021, the total confirmed cases of COVID-19 have reach 166,346,635 with a total of 3,449,117 deaths. Several recent scientific studies have shown that medicinal plants and vitamins can benefit and improve the health of COVID-19 patients. However, the benefits of medicinal plants and vitamins in the treatment of COVID-19 remain unproven. Therefore, the objective of this article is to expounds the benefits of using medicinal plants (Allium sativum, curcumin, Nigella sativa, Zingiber officitale) and vitamins (vitamin C and vitamin D) that possess the antiviral properties for the prevention and/or control of COVID-19. To reach our objective, we searched scientific databases of ongoing trials in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention websites, PubMed Central, Medline databases, and Google Scholar websites. We also searched databases on World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform to collect relevant papers. We found that all of the selected medicinal plants and vitamins possess antiviral activities, and their individual intake shows promise for the prevention and/or control of COVID-19. We conclude that, the selected medicinal plants and vitamins possess anti-viral properties that are more likely to prevent and/or disrupt the SARS-CoV-2 replication cycle, enhance the human immune system and promote good health.
