A tree called Terminalia bellirica which falls in the Combretaceae family, is usually called Bahera or Beleric myrobalan. For a long time, people in ancient medicine, mainly Ayurveda, have used nushu to help with many kinds of illnesses. We have examined how T. bellerica protects against free radicals and helps control inflammatory problems related to chronic illnesses. Terminalia bellirica’s strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects are due to its flavonoids, gallic acid, ellagic acid, tannins and other phenolic compounds. As such, it is believed to help treat diseases like diabetes, heart disease, various disorders of the nervous system and problems of the respiratory system that involve inflammation and stress from oxidative agents. It sums up recent findings on the medicinal plant and suggests research directions needed to better use its medicinal properties.

Terminalia bellirica, commonly referred to as Balela, is a plant belonging to the Combretaceae family, which has been extensively employed in both preventative and therapeutic medicine. In Unani medicine, it is a widely used herbal drug for the treatment of several ailments, including obesity, atherosclerosis, gastrointestinal disorders, memory loss, premature greying of hair, weakened immune system, loss of eyesight, general weakness, and ageing. The present review article aims to provide a comprehensive account of Terminalia bellirica, describing its medicinal uses, pharmacological actions, therapeutic properties, and chemical constituents. Furthermore, the article provides an overview of the plant's properties. The study highlights the potential of Terminalia bellirica as a valuable source of medicinal compounds, which can be harnessed for the development of novel therapeutic agents.

Terminalia bellerica (T. bellerica) is a tree belonging to the family Combretaceae. In Ayurvedic system of medicine, it is used as "health-harmonizer" in combination with Terminalia chebula and Emblica officnalis. It is a large deciduous tree found all over in Asia, mostly native to Sri Lanka. Traditionally, T. bellerica is used for treatment of various diseases such as conjunctivitis, asthma, migraine, baldness, constipation and weak eyesight. It contains various phytoconstituents such as glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compound, amino acids and saponins which are responsible for various pharmacological activities like anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, anti-salmonella, anti-biofilm, anticancer, hepatoprotective, anti-pyretic and anti-diarrheal. This review article provides comprehensive information on pharmacognostic, phytochemical and pharmacological properties of T. bellerica, as a source for further research studies.

1. The pharmacokinetics of methylprednisolone (MP) were studied in five normal subjects following intravenous doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS) and an oral dose of 20 mg methylprednisolone as 4 x 5 mg tablets. ...

In this second installment about narcissism, we will explore the eight different types of narcissists. This is based on Dr. Ramani Durvasula’s work and book, titled “’Don’t You Know Who I Am?’ How to stay sane in an era of narcissism, entitlement, and incivility,” as well as Dr. Ramani’s videos on YouTube.

Are narcissists more prone to dementia? Unraveling the link between narcissism and heightened dementia risk, this article delves into the impact of self-centered traits on cognitive health. Discover how chronic stress and isolation exacerbate cognitive decline, and learn about brain-healthy practices to mitigate these risks. Explore practical steps and future research avenues to combat cognitive decline in narcissistic individuals.

Traits of narcissism may be adaptive or maladaptive. On a spectrum, narcissism can be overt, covert, antagonistic, communal, or malignant.

Scientific Reports - A single-dose of oral nattokinase potentiates thrombolysis and anti-coagulation profiles

These results provided the first evidence that nattokinase can be measured directly in the blood of humans. The results further suggest that a larger, more extensive, pharmacokinetic study of nattokinase is warranted. Additionally, looking for intact enzyme and bioactive nattokinase peptides should …

Background: Nutrition is increasingly becoming a greater part of medicine and in particular surgery. Pertinent nutritional clinical goals involve reducing recovery times by supplementing patients with additional nutrients and to prepare them for elective surgery so that recovery can be optimised. To assist in achieving the aforementioned outcomes within musculoskeletal surgery, supplementation with creatine and protein/Essential Amino Acids (EAA) can be a useful addition to patient care. Methods: A systematic review was performed using EMBASE, Scopus and Medline as search engines. This yielded 200 articles of which nine were included within the analysis. Findings: Two articles investigated creatine supplementation in orthopaedic knee surgery whilst seven focused on protein supplementation. Both creatine studies investigated pre and post-operative supplementation and found that creatine did not augment recovery of muscular strength. Whilst the six of the protein supplementation studies reported positive post-operative effects in respect to increases in strength and muscle mass. However no study matching the search criteria investigated the combination of both creatine and protein, likewise no study was found to report the speed of post-operative recovery with supplementation. Conclusion: Supplementation with protein/EAA’s is beneficial for those in the post-operative period in helping to reduce muscle atrophy and improve wound healing. There is limited evidence regarding the effects of creatine supplementation within such clinical populations, however there is a very good safety profile for both protein/EAA and creatine highlighting that supplementation is safe and can be experimented with.
