ABSTRACT

Currently, the novel and major life-threatening cause all over the world is COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) which is started at the end of 2019 in Wuhan, China, and spread all over the world today. The infection of COVID-19 severity is variable which affects all ages' people and especially elderly persons whose immune system is very weak. Fatigue, fever, respiratory illness, dry cough, loss of appetite, olfactory dysfunction are the most common symptoms of this disease along with the decrease of certain cells of the immune system like helper T cells, monocytes/macrophages, etc. and an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines are some of the major characteristics of this disease. Some natural herbal products are a successive option to combat SARS-Cov-2 disease. Herbs have various potential compound which is used as a dietary product that strongly influences immunity and maintenance of the homeostasis of inflammatory/anti-inflammatory. In the present review, we describe the potential of three herbal products as Turmeric (Haldi), Heart-leaved moonseed (Giloy), and Black cumin (Kalonji) that can be used for preventative or nutritional therapy of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis is a bacterial infectious illness that is spread mostly by communicable droplets from one person to another. Drug-resistant patients and substandard drug authorization Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the two major obstacles to tuberculosis (TB) management in endemic areas, such as India and the rest of the world. Precision medicine, also known as customized medicine, is based on the diversity of systems biology and using predictive techniques to assess health risk and build tailored health plans to assist patients in reducing risk, preventing disease, and treating it with precision. Only active pulmonary tuberculosis is contagious. TB continues to be a significant source of illness and mortality in many low- and middle-income nations, and drug-resistant TB is a major problem in many areas. Furthermore, several novel TB diagnostics methods, such as quick molecular testing, have been developed, and there is a demand for simpler point-of-care tests. Personalized medicine ushers in a new age in healthcare. In the subject of Mycobacteriology, personalized medicine may be used in a variety of ways, including prevention, diagnosis, improved therapy, and prognosis. To change an independent proposition in mycobacterial disorders, a genetic inclination and a protein affliction investigation are presented. Patients' results should be turned into accurate diagnostic tests and focused therapy in order for personalized medicine to be used successfully by the healthcare system.

ABSTRACT

Public health law focuses on the nexus between law, public health and the legal tools applicable to public health issues. Though there have been consistent interventions to address public health concerns in the past, there exists a need for a contemporary framework to appropriately use modern legal tools for complex health challenges. We identify a checklist of imperative indicators to assess whether public health legislations would be an effective form of intervention to bring about the desired social change.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>The Muller-Lyer illusion is a visual illusion in which a horizontal shaft with an inward-pointing chevron (fins-out) affixed to each end is perceived longer than a shaft with outward-pointing chevrons (fins-in). The goal of this study was to compare the effects of experience and knowledge about the Muller-Lyer illusion on participants' perceptual precision.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Participants were undergraduate students (n = 108) who were not familiar with the Muller-Lyer illusion prior to the experiment. The task of participants was to adjust one movable line to make it equal to the other in Muller-Lyer figure. They received ascending and descending Muller-Lyer trials in three blocks with 20 trials each. The Experimental Group received information about the Muller-Lyer illusion prior to the third block.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>For the Experimental Group, the amount of departure in Block 3 was reduced significantly compared with previous blocks.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Knowledge about the mechanisms underlying visual illusions may play an important role in helping individuals overcome them.</p>
