Impact of Diet, Lifestyle, and Pharmacological Interventions on the Prevention of Hemorrhoids Among High-Risk Populations: A Prospective Study
Background: Hemorrhoids are a common anorectal condition influenced by dietary behaviors, lifestyle patterns, and pharmacological practices. High-risk groups—such as individuals with chronic constipation, low-fiber diets, sedentary habits, or occupations involving prolonged sitting—are particularly vulnerable.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of diet modification, lifestyle adjustments, and pharmacological strategies on preventing hemorrhoids among high-risk individuals.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted from **January to April 2025** among **14 high-risk participants**. Interventions included fiberrich dietary plans, lifestyle counseling, hydration guidance, toilet practice education, and prophylactic stool-softening agents when indicated.
Results: Participants adhering strongly to dietary and lifestyle interventions demonstrated the lowest rates of hemorrhoidal symptoms. Pharmacological interventions showed supportive benefits, particularly for individuals with persistent constipation.
Conclusion: Dietary and lifestyle measures form the foundation of hemorrhoid prevention, while pharmacological interventions act as beneficial adjuncts. Early preventive strategies significantly reduce the risk of hemorrhoid development in high-risk groups.

Association of Anxiety and Depression with thoracic discomfort: An Exploratory Study of the Relevance of Anguish to Psychiatric Diagnosis and Symptoms
| Background: Anguish implies sensations of discomfort in the chest. Recently has been discovered manifestations of anguish in patients with psychiatric diagnosis. Also, conceptual confusions between anguish, anxiety, panic and fear has been observed. Objetives: This study analyzed the prevalence of anguish in patients with psychiatric diagnosis and differences in the presentation of psychiatric symptoms under thre presentation of anguish. Method: A sample composed of 100 patients from a large mental health care institucion in Brazil was recruited (mean age = 44.54 years). The sample comprised 69 (69%) women, 29(29%) men and 2(2%) transexuals. After comparing the mean age, no statistically significance was found (p=0,248). The age of the participantes composing the total sample ranged from 17 to 77 years. The sample’s education level was 42(42%) secondary or lower and 47(47%) graduates. As for marital state, 47(47%) participants were single, 32(32%) married, 13(13%) divorced, and 7(7%) widower. 1(1%) participant didn’t answer to this topic. To measure independent and dependent variables were used the following instruments: (a) Brief Symptoms Inventory, (b) Defensive Style Questionnaire-40, (c) Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, (d) Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, (e) State-Trait Anxiety Scale, and (f) Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Results: Chi-square test showed significant association between anguish and gender (p=0,041), 31(79.5%) women had anguish compared to 7(17.9%) men and 1(2.6%) trans. Wilcoxon Mann Whitney test showed significant association between anguish and Brief Symptom Inventory (p=0,020). In this questionnaire online the variable somatization showed significance. Relatively to Hamilton Anxiety Scale, the variables fears, depressed mood, gastrointestinal and neurovegetative symptoms showed significance. Wilcoxon Mann Whitney and Chi-square tests showed that between anguish and depression variables somatization (p=0,02) and neurovegetative symptoms (p=0,018) and between anguish and anxiety only variable fears (p=0,018) was significant. Inferential analysis showed that depression is more linked to anguish than anxiety. Conclusions: As for the frst hypothesis, symptoms more related to anguish were somatization, fears, depressed mood, gastrointestinal and neurovegetative symptoms. Relatively to the second hypothesis, under the 82 participants with depression, 87.2% had anguish, while under the 69 participants with a diagnosis of anxiety disorders, 69.2% presented anguish, showing a greater frequency of anguish between patients with depression |

Profile of Anemia Among Admitted Pediatric Patients: A Retrospective Study
Introduction: Anemia remains a major public health challenge worldwide, particularly affecting children under five years of age in developing countries. It contributes significantly to morbidity, impairs growth and cognitive development, and increases susceptibility to infections. Identifying clinical patterns and hematological profiles is vital to guide effective prevention and management strategies.
Methods:A retrospective descriptive study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Central India, including children aged 1 month to 14 years admitted between August and December 2019 with anemia at admission. Demographic data, clinical presentation, nutritional status, and laboratory parameters were collected from hospital records. Hematological indices and additional investigations were analyzed to determine anemia types and etiologies. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software, and associations were assessed with chi-square tests.
Results: Out of 610 admitted children, 182 (46.2%) were anemic. Male children (53.8%) slightly outnumbered females (46.2%), but the difference was not statistically significant. The highest prevalence was observed in children under five years (76.9%), with most cases showing moderate anemia (48.3%), followed by mild (28.5%) and severe (23.1%). Microcytic anemia was the most common morphological type (61.5%). Nutritional anemia predominated, with 43 cases of iron deficiency and 14 cases of vitamin B12 deficiency. Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) was present in 38 children and significantly associated with anemia severity (p = 0.028). Hemolytic anemias, infections, and pancytopenia also contributed to severe presentations.
Conclusion: Nutritional anemia remains the most prevalent and preventable cause of anemia in hospitalized children, strongly linked to poor dietary practices and malnutrition. Enhancing nutrition education, early screening for hemoglobinopathies, and strengthening public health interventions are essential to reduce childhood anemia burden.

AROMA THERAPY DE–TAN REMOVAL PACK FOR GLOW, LIGHTING OIL CONTROL, ANTI-ACNE AND PIMPLES BLEMISHES PIGMENTATION DE-TAN PACK FOR FACE AND BODY WITH NO AMMONIA AND BLEACH
| The goal of this project is to create and test a herbal face pack for glowing skin utilising natural herbal components. Natural herbal elements such as multani mitti, turmeric, sandalwood, milk powder, rice flour, and orange peel were obtained as dried powder from a local market. All powdered natural ingredients were sieved using #120 mesh, weighed accurately, and mixed geometrically for uniform formulation before being evaluated for parameters such as morphological, physicochemical, physical, phytochemical, irritancy, and stability. As a result, in this work, we created a herbal face pack that can be quickly manufactured with readily available ingredients. After testing, we discovered that the face packs had good qualities, were free of skin irritation, and retained their consistency even after being stored in stable settings. The study's findings scientifically proved that herbal face packs have the capacity to provide an effective glowing effect on skin. The entire study is useful for substantiating product claims due to its beneficial effects on humans. |

HERBAL MEDICINE FOR IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME
| Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease of the intestines. IBD, including Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis, are characterized by a complex interplay of environmental, genetic, and immunological variables. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is caused by the interplay of a person’s immune system with precipitating environmental variables, which in people with a genetic predisposition causes an abnormally persistent inflammatory response. The pattern and severity of dietary deficits linked to IBD vary on the level, duration, and activity of the inflammation. However, there is little evidence that dietary changes can modify the course of IBD, and there are no evidence-based dietary recommendations for IBD patients. As a result, patients look to non-medical sources for nutritional advice, such as patient support groups and unreliable websites. The purpose of this review is to discover patient-specific dietary recommendations for IBD and to evaluate their nutritional value. We examine patient-specific dietary data for IBD from popular defined diets and structured internet searches. Dietary advice for specific patients focuses on. |
