What Are Fortified Foods And How Beneficial It Is?

Vitamins and micronutrients are essential for the body's growth and development. Although they only make up a minor portion of our diet, their lack contributes to underdevelopment and several illnesses. More than three out of ten individuals worldwide experience vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies. Numerous figures show that 0.5% of all deaths in India were caused by dietary deficiencies. In a recent investigation, FSSAI discovered that there were worries about vitamin inadequacies in the Indian population. These inadequacies endanger public health and can be avoided. The majority of Indians are deficient in essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin D, iron, folic acid, and iodine. Over the past few decades, the Indian government has spearheaded a range of endeavours with the primary goal of enhancing the overall nutritional and health status of the public. These efforts also extend to endorsing the consumption of fortified foods as a means to elevate nut...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) Role in Regenerative Medicine

  Over the past ten years or so, there has been an increasing use of stem cells in the treatment of various health-related issues or disorders. Stem cell therapy for blood disorders has been successfully used for non-blood disorders. Extensive research by many health research institutes around the world has shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide a promising solution for the treatment and regrowth of human tissues. It is due to their ability to differentiate into multiple cell types, self-renew, proliferate outside the body for extended periods, have paracrine properties, and regulate the immune system. MSCs are advantageous in that they can nurture the growth and diversification of other stem cells, in addition to discharging bioactive molecules essential to tissue repair. Owing to these beneficial qualities, MSCs are regarded as having a considerable therapeutic function in the medical practices. As such, we herein reviewed the most current trials conducted to assess...

Cancer Immunotherapy – The Next Scientific Breakthrough

  The month of "June" is identified as Cancer Immunotherapy Research Awareness Month. This year (2023) marks a decade since cancer immunotherapy gained its first acknowledgment as a notable "breakthrough of the year" by science magazine in 2013. According to studies, more than thirty cancer types are treatable with immunotherapy, and the objective of this awareness month is to expand this figure and provide life-saving treatments to more individuals dealing with cancer. How is Cancer Targeted by Immunotherapy? Conventional approaches by a clinical research organization to combat cancer, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy tend to bring about distressing physical and emotional repercussions. Unfortunately, their efficacy in treating metastatic cancers is restrained frequently. Furthermore, these treatment methods seldom lead to a permanent solution as patients may experience relapses or develop resistance to the treatment. Immunotherapy presents a pro...

Research Organizations Making Strides in Decentralized Clinical Trials

In the domain of clinical studies, a significant shift is occurring as decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) revolutionize the approaches employed by investigators during research. Ground breaking technologies and clever tactics for managing trials have paved the way for a  clinical research organization   in clinical exploration. This article will examine the impact research firms have made in DCTs while shedding light on the remarkable progress achieved in the recent years. Decentralized Clinical Trials Using AI Solutions  Nowadays, health tech enterprises are concentrating on developing AI-driven solutions for distributed clinical trials. These platforms primarily target patient enrolment, trial practicability, and site determination by evaluating organized and disorganized real-world information from electronic medical databases and different other sources. Leveraging natural language processing (NLP) and advanced machine learning techniques, these firms' AI-driv...

Significance of Research and Education Centers in Stem Cell Research

Stem cell research is developing rapidly and offers the possibility of profoundly transforming healthcare, thus enhancing the lives of innumerable people globally. This intricate and ever-changing study area requires key contributors to drive success -  research and education centers .  Such establishments connect experts in science, instruction, and healthcare to cooperate and push the field of stem cell research forward. Role of Research and Education Centers in Stem Cell Research At the vanguard of scientific exploration, a typical  research and education center  occupy a vital space in the growth of stem cell research. Not only do they drive research, but educate and train scientists and medical personnel. By bringing together specialists from different disciplines, these centers foster collaborations and pave the way for novel ideas. Additionally, they are pivotal in converting the outcomes of their research into clinical usage. Role of the Internatio...

Innovations in Indian Healthcare- Tackling Obstacles, Recognizing Progress, And Presenting Possibilities

  The healthcare sector in India ranks among the rapidly expanding industries in terms of both earnings and job creation. With a value exceeding US$ 200 billion, the Indian health sector experiences an impressive compound annual growth rate of 22.9%. Public healthcare is accessible to all Indian residents. Hence, the public health sector in India includes eighteen percent of the total outpatient care and around forty four percent of the total inpatient care. The healthcare sector, comprising hospitals, diagnostic labs, and pharmaceutical firms, accounts for over 65% of the market. The industry's growth is fuelled by rising income levels, increased employment prospects, global market access, and swift technological progress. However, India's healthcare system faces the 70:70 paradox: individuals bear 70% of healthcare costs out-of-pocket, with medicines alone accounting for 70% of those expenses.   In India, public health spending c...
