Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) constitute a formidable global health challenge, linked predominantly to lifestyle factors. Nutraceuticals, bioactive compounds in food and supplements, have gained prominence for their potential in preventing and managing NCDs. This abstract provides a succinct overview of the pivotal role of nutraceuticals in NCD mitigation. The discussion encompasses various aspects, including cardiovascular health, cancer prevention, diabetes management, traditional herbal remedies, obesity and cognitive health. Nutraceuticals offer a promising avenue to augment public health efforts in curbing the escalating burden of NCDs, though continued research is essential to harness their full potential.

The advent of Generation Z (Gen Z), comprising individuals born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, has brought new challenges to the field of HIV care. This article explores strategies aimed at optimizing the care and support provided to the next generation of adolescents living with HIV within the Gen Z cohort. We examine the unique psychosocial, technological and healthcare-related factors influencing this generation's experience with HIV, including treatment adherence, disclosure, stigma and mental health. By synthesizing current research and insights from clinical practice, we propose innovative strategies that harness technology, community engagement and culturally sensitive interventions to enhance the care continuum for adolescents living with HIV in the Gen Z era. These strategies hold the potential to improve health outcomes, promote holistic well-being and reduce the long-term impact of HIV on this vulnerable population.

This study examines the alerts and associated health ramifications stemming from the presence of unapproved pharmaceuticals in dietary supplements. Unauthorized pharmaceuticals found within dietary supplements pose a serious public health concern. Through an analysis of reported cases and their consequences, this research elucidates the extent of the problem and underscores the importance of stringent regulation and vigilant monitoring to protect consumer safety. The use of dietary supplements has witnessed a significant surge in recent years, with individuals turning to these products in search of improved health and wellness. While dietary supplements can offer various potential benefits, concerns have arisen regarding the presence of unapproved pharmaceuticals within these products. This abstract provides an overview of the health ramifications associated with unapproved pharmaceuticals in dietary supplements, emphasizing the importance of regulatory oversight and consumer awareness to mitigate these risks.

The escalating patterns of heat waves and tropical nights in coastal regions are indicative of the profound impact of climate change on these vulnerable ecosystems. This article investigates the intensification of extreme heat events in coastal areas, exploring the underlying drivers, consequences and potential mitigation strategies. By analysing current research and data, we aim to provide insights into the growing threat posed by rising temperatures in these regions and underscore the urgency of climate action. Coastal regions, home to diverse ecosystems and human populations, are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of increasing temperatures. Through an analysis of temperature data and related factors, this research seeks to elucidate the driving forces behind these patterns and the implications for both natural and human systems.
