Abstract Acid reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux (GER), is a common and often temporary condition in newborns, affecting up to 50% of infants in their first few months of life. It arises primarily due to an underdeveloped digestive system and is generally considered benign. However, when persistent, it can lead to considerable discomfort, feeding difficulties, and […]

Abstract Retained placenta, a postnatal complication wherein the placenta is not expelled from the uterus within the expected time frame after childbirth, presents significant risks to maternal health. This condition, although relatively uncommon, requires prompt recognition and intervention to prevent serious outcomes such as postpartum haemorrhage, infection, and future fertility issues. The causes are multifactorial […]
Abstract Pain, whether physical or emotional, travels through the same neural pathways, activating similar regions in the brain. The nervous system does not differentiate between the two types of pain, which is why emotional pain, such as grief, trauma, or severe stress, can often manifest physically—and sometimes with even more devastating effects than physical injuries. […]
Abstract Pain is a complex physiological and neurological experience that serves as a vital protective mechanism. This paper explores the various types of pain, their origins, and the intricate role of nerve fibres—A-alpha, A-beta, A-delta, and C-fibres—in transmitting pain signals. This paper examines the physiological basis of pain, the role of different nerve fibres in […]
Abstract Infertility is a complex and multifactorial issue that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Contrary to the belief that infertility is a divine act, this condition is primarily caused by human actions, including lifestyle choices, pharmaceutical use, and exposure to environmental toxins. In certain cultural contexts, infertility is even induced through spiritual means, such as […]
Abstract Introduced in the 20th century, pharmaceutical antibiotics have been instrumental in modern medicine; however, their indiscriminate nature has led to concerns over resistance, side effects, and long-term devastating health consequences such as infertility, immune and brain disorders to name a few. This paper explores natural alternatives to antibiotics that work synergistically with the body’s […]
Abstract Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a life-threatening condition primarily associated with the use of high-absorbency tampons and synthetic menstrual products. The presence of synthetic fibres, dioxins, and chemical additives in these products has been linked to hormonal disruption and an increased risk of bacterial overgrowth, leading to severe complications such as amputations, and even […]
Abstract Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a severe hereditary blood disorder that affects millions worldwide, primarily individuals of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian descent. The disease is characterised by the presence of abnormal haemoglobin S, leading to sickling of red blood cells (RBCs), vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs), and organ damage. Historically, treatment options have been […]
Introduction Gastroparesis, or delayed gastric emptying, is a condition in which the stomach muscles fail to function properly, resulting in slowed or halted food movement into the small intestine. Although commonly associated with diabetes and neurological disorders, gastroparesis is increasingly linked to a breakdown in brain-body communication, particularly involving the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The […]
Abstract Nerve pain, particularly from conditions like arthritis and sciatica, impacts millions of people globally. Understanding the root causes of these conditions from a molecular and cellular perspective provides key insights into how these disorders develop and progress. This paper explores the biochemical and physiological mechanisms that contribute to nerve pain, focusing on the causes […]
