Lifestyle and Pain following Cancer
Cancer Survivor (CS), the most widely used definition is: “being a CS, starts on the day of diagnosis and continues until the end of life. Three cancer survivorship phases can be distinguished: “acute survivorship” (i.e., early-stage or time during curative treatment), “permanent survivorship” (i.e., living with cancer or also called the palliative stage), and “extended survivorship” (i.e., cured but not free of suffering). Chronic pain is one of these and occurs in 40% of CSs. Chronic pain is defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as pain that persists or recurs for longer than three month. Unrelieved pain can have considerable adverse consequences on a CSs’ quality of life.

The short-term effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Bharat Biotech, and CoronaVac vaccines for the prevention of infection and the reduction in the severity of illness and hospitalizations associated with the Delta variant are supported.

Natural Products for Alleviating Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of liver disease all over the world due to the obesity pandemic; currently, therapeutic options for NAFLD are scarce, except for diet recommendations and physical activity. NAFLD is characterized by excessive accumulation of fat deposits (>5%) in the liver with subsequent inflammation and fibrosis. Studies in the literature show that insulin resistance (IR) may be considered as the key mechanism in the onset and progression of NAFLD. Using natural products, for example, spirulina, oleuropein, garlic, berberine, resveratrol, curcumin, ginseng, glycyrrhizin, coffee, cocoa powder, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, and bromelain, as an alternative approach in the treatment of NAFLD has drawn growing attention among physicians.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in preterm infants.
