Taherah Mohammadabadi1* Submitted: 10 June 2025; Accepted: 20 June 2025; Published: 10 July 2025 1* Professor, Faculty of Animal Science and Food Technology, Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University, Iran. Email: [email protected] Key Words: Milk thistle, Diabetes, liver health, silymarin Milk thistle properties The dried seed extract of the remarkable milk thistle plant, Silybum marianum, is a powerhouse of health benefits, containing 1% to 4% silymarin—a potent compound known for its strong antioxidant and liver-protective properties. This extract consists of 65% to 80% silymarin (a complex of flavonolignans) and 20% to 35% beneficial fatty acids, including linoleic acid. Milk thistle has a long history of use in traditional medicine. Still, recent statements from Cancer Research UK emphasize the need for further rigorous scientific trials to fully understand its potential role in cancer treatment and prevention. Nevertheless, this exceptional herb has garnered attention for its impressive ability to address gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, toxicity, and liver irritation. Silymarin is particularly effective for lowering LDL cholesterol levels in those with hypercholesterolemia and is a valuable ally in reducing blood sugar levels for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, its neuroprotective qualities prevent brain damage caused by blood clotting by combating molecular inflammation in the brain. Silymarin also stimulates liver regeneration and serves as a vital protector of liver health. Milk  Keywords: Milk thistle, medicinal herb, liver protection, diabetes.

Nilanjan Dam1, Abhishek Verma2, Abhimanyou Singh Jasrotia3, Garima4, Jaya Bajpai5, Nitin6, Rishabh kumar7. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 PG Students, Department of Community Medicine, Rama Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, RMCHRC, Kanpur Submitted: 20 April 2025; Accepted: 26 April 2025; Published: 28 April 2025 Corresponding Author: Dr. Nilanjan Dam, MD Fellow, Department of Community Medicine, RMCHRC, Kanpur, U.P., India. Email: [email protected] Introduction India is one of the seven countries and territories in the IDF South-East Asia region, a pivotal area in the fight against diabetes. Currently, a staggering 589 million people around the globe have diabetes, with 107 million of them in the SEA region alone. Alarmingly, projections indicate that this number could surge to 185 million by 2050. We must address this growing health crisis with urgency and commitment. Diabetes in India (2024) In India, the total adult population is 947,373,600, and 10.5% of the age group 20 to 79 are suffering from Diabetes, with 89,826900 adult cases. Diabetes has reached pandemic levels, and India has become the diabetes capital, with 89.8 million people affected in 2024 (10.5% of the population). This number is projected to rise to 156.7 million by 2050(Figure 1). It is crucial to shift our focus towards the primordial prevention of diabetes. We need a reliable test for predicting gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) so that timely and appropriate interventions can be initiated [1].

Taherah Mohammadabadi1 *, Rajesh Jain2 1 Professor, Faculty of Animal Science and Food Technology, Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University, Iran 2Consultant Diabetes, Jain Hospital, Kanpur, India Submitted: 1 April 2025; Accepted: 10 April 2025; Published: 29 April 2024 1*Corresponding author: Prof Dr Taherah Mohammadabadi, Faculty of Animal Science and Food Technology, Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University, Iran. Email: [email protected] Abstract Traditionally, in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, camel milk is consumed regularly for diabetes, and a lower incidence of diabetes occurs by drinking camel milk. Since fresh camel milk is not available for all people globally, this study aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic effects of camel milk powder in diabetic patients. About 15 grams/day of camel milk powder was used in 6 type 1 diabetic cases injected with insulin, for 3 months in two groups. The results showed a significant decrease in fasting blood glucose in camel milk powder patients. Blood sugar reduced from 113 to 98 mg /dL, and LDL decreased significantly from 95 to 73 mg/dL. The results showed that the average dose of required insulin before consuming camel’s milk powder was 42±5 u/day, gradually decreasing to 30 ± 6 u/day, three months after taking camel milk powder. After 3 months, consuming 15 g camel milk powder, two times daily, decreased fasting blood glucose, required insulin dose, total cholesterol, and LDL. Thus, camel milk powder may exhibit antidiabetic activity in diabetic patients and improve cardiovascular disorders and other complications. Keywords: camel milk, diabetes, blood glucose, health

[email protected] Introduction An old practice rooted in Indian philosophy, yoga integrates physical posture (asana), breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation (dhyana), and ethical fields to promote a general well. For thousands of years, yoga has been rooted partly in Indian philosophy and traditional Indian spiritual practices [1]. The role of yoga has recently expanded. Yoga is currently a popular physical and mental health method, adapted to international complementary and integrative medicine [2]. In the latter environment, yoga often includes physical posture, breath control, deep relaxation, and meditation/mindfulness techniques. In Western society, yoga is increasingly popular as a preventive and therapeutic practice, and is one of the treatments with the fastest increase in prevalence [3], as seen in a study [4]. Over the years, yoga has gained global recognition for improving flexibility and relaxation, but also a powerful preventive and therapeutic device for various health conditions. Therefore, health service providers are increasingly presented with patients who use yoga to treat health conditions and those of interest [4]. Yoga-based initiatives are becoming popular in promoting wellness in communities, businesses, and schools, and now, primary health care integration via AYUSH programs (India) is underway [5-7]. Let’s look at the important Preventive and therapeutic functions of Yoga as seen from studies [5-7]. Numerous positive advantages are also linked to yoga.

Review of spot Test and significance of Post Prandial Blood Glucose (PPBG) ≥110 mg/dl in 8-10 weeks of Pregnancy

/

Abstract: Metformin & MNT are used from 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy to prevent gestational diabetes. According to Dr. Seshiah, significant changes occur in maternal metabolism when fetal insulin secretion begins. Hyperglycemia can lead to non-communicable diseases later in life, which is why gestational diabetes is often referred to as a precursor to these conditions. It is important to avoid the transgenerational transmission of diabetes. Spot Test was discovered by the V Seshiah group 40 years ago, with 105 mg/dl by plasma lab value and 110 mg/dl by plasma calibrated Glucometer, which are equal values.

Sanjev Dave1, Anuradha V Dave2, Rajesh Jain3, Arvind Trivedi4, Rangeel Singh Raina5, Rashmi Pandey6, Ridima Kamal7 Authors Affiliation: Corresponding Author: Professor, Department of Community Medicine, Autonomous State Medical College, Auraiya (Uttar Pradesh)- India-206244, [email protected] ————————————————————————————————————– Abstract: – Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have been detected in common environmental matrices such as drinking water, food, and air. Their pervasiveness has led to increasing human exposure, and their recent detection in human blood raises alarming concerns about systemic bioaccumulation and long-term health effects. Moreover, their adverse impact on biological systems, particularly on gastrointestinal, immune, and vascular health, has also become a growing concern as discussed in this review. ——————————————————————————————— Introduction: Microplastics have become ubiquitous in the global environment and are now recognized as a significant emerging pollutant. Recent studies indicate that microplastics can enter the human body through multiple exposure routes, including ingestion via food and water, as well as inhalation of airborne particles. Once inside the body, these particles can induce a range of adverse health effects, including oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and developmental abnormalities. Although research is still evolving, the detection of microplastics in critical biological matrices such as placental tissue and breast milk underscores the potential for systemic exposure and raises pressing public health concerns (Luo et al., 2019 )¹. Recent studies have consistently reported the widespread presence of microplastics in various environmental matrices and human biological samples. Human exposure to microplastics can occur via multiple routes, including oral ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Emerging evidence suggests that such exposure may induce a range of adverse health effects, such as oxidative stress, DNA damage, organ dysfunction, metabolic disturbances, immune dysregulation, neurotoxicity, and reproductive and developmental toxicity. Furthermore, epidemiological investigations have suggested potential associations between chronic diseases and microplastic exposure, underscoring a growing public health concern regarding their long-term biological effects [1].

Medical University Chennai, India. Email: [email protected] Introduction The findings from the 11th edition unequivocally demonstrate that diabetes is one of the most pressing global health challenges of the 21st century. By 2024, a staggering 589 million adults aged 20 to 79 were living with diabetes. Among them, over 9.5 million had type 1 diabetes, including 1.9 million children and adolescents under the age of 20. Projections show that the total number of people living with diabetes will reach 853 million by 2050. There is a significant and alarming population at high risk of developing diabetes. In 2024, approximately 635 million people were estimated to have impaired glucose tolerance, while 488 million were found to have impaired fasting glucose. Additionally, over 3.4 million people aged 20 to 79 died from diabetes-related causes in 2024. For the first time, direct health expenditures related to diabetes have exceeded $1 trillion, and this figure is expected to continue rising. Furthermore, the IDF Diabetes Atlas 11th edition indicates that hyperglycaemia in pregnancy (HIP) affects roughly one in five pregnancies—an alarming statistic in itself. Equally concerning is the fact that 43% of individuals with diabetes remain undiagnosed, predominantly with type 2 diabetes. This stark reality underscores the urgent need to enhance diagnostic capabilities for individuals who are unaware of their condition and to ensure prompt access to appropriate care [1]. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is the mother of all Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs).
