Cervical cancer – Screening and Prevention
Cervical cancer can often be prevented by having regular screenings with Pap tests and human papillomavirus (HPV) tests to find any precancers and treat them. It can also be prevented by receiving the HPV vaccine. To help prevent cervical cancer, HPV vaccination is recommended for all adolescents as part of their routine vaccines. It may be given starting at age 9. ASCO recommends that all women receive at least 1 HPV test, at a minimum, to screen for cervical cancer in their lifetime, with general frequencies being between every 5 to 10 years.

Alpha Lipoic Acid: Pharmacokinetics & Applications
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring antioxidant involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism. It is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body, with high concentrations in the liver and kidneys. ALA is both water- and fat-soluble, allowing it to neutralize free radicals in various environments. It undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism and is excreted primarily via the urine. ALA has therapeutic applications in managing conditions like diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and as a supplement for its antioxidant benefits.
Hyperlipidemia: From Diagnosis to Treatment
Hyperlipidemia is a condition characterized by elevated levels of lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests measuring lipid profiles, while treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, alongside medications like statins to manage cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular risk. Regular monitoring is essential for effective management and prevention of complications.
Acne: Disorders and Treatment Approaches
Acne is a common dermatological condition caused by clogged pores, excess sebum production, bacterial growth, and inflammation. It can manifest as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, or cysts, often leading to scarring if untreated. Various factors, including hormonal changes, diet, stress, and genetics, influence its severity. Treatment approaches range from topical and oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, and hormonal therapy, to advanced procedures like chemical peels and laser therapy. A personalized skincare regimen, along with lifestyle modifications, plays a crucial role in managing and preventing acne.
Role of AI in Diabetes Care & Metabolic Wellness
AI is increasingly playing a significant role in diabetes care and metabolic wellness by enhancing early detection, personalized treatment, and continuous monitoring. Machine learning algorithms analyze patient data, such as glucose levels and lifestyle factors, to provide more accurate predictions and tailored management plans. AI-powered tools, like smart insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors, help patients track their condition in real time, improving outcomes and reducing complications. Additionally, AI assists healthcare providers in identifying trends, optimizing treatment strategies, and enabling more proactive care for individuals with diabetes or metabolic disorders.
