Break Through in the Nutrition and Health

In Nutrition and Health, Food safety has become one of the vital factors for the enrichment and quality of the food that is being developed these days. Small peptides and toxins can largely affect the food materials by disrupting the receptors or the enzymes present. This can affect in either form, such as internal or external forms. In order to avoid these contaminations and diseases, food safety management has developed various detection techniques which are capable of detecting various toxins and chemicals. Although, the factors such as sensitivity, specificity, etc is being detected by using the Atomic Force Microscopy. It is one of the widest nanotechnologies for imaging and measurements in biophysics and biology. Its high sensitivity in probing specific, single-molecule binding between molecules is applicable to food toxin detection. Elevating the ability to evaluate food quality and safety in a rapid, sensitive and reliable manner is of great importance in food industry.

AI applications in Healthcare

AI applications in Healthcare The field of health AI is far-reaching and covers a large area from wellness to diagnostics to operational technologies.                                                        The fields that are developed are listed accordingly: ·          AI-assisted robotic surgery . In orthopaedic surgery, a form of AI-assisted robotics can analyse data from pre-op medical records to physically guide the surgeon’s instrument in real-time during a procedure. It can also use data from actual surgical experiences to inform new surgical techniques. ·          AI-powered virtual nurse assistants have enormous potential in helping patients. The recently developed AI named Sensely’s “Molly” is an AI-powered nurse avatar being used by UCSF and the UK’s NHS to interact with patients, ask those questions about their health, assess their symptoms, and directs them to the most effective care setting. ·          Errors and fraud also pose a dangerous issue for heal

Recent Advances in Drug Development

                                                                          One in eight women is being diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime .Chemotherapy, which is one of the most followed therapy for cancer results in destroying the First –line cancer DNA-creating proteins, but BRCA genes have a backup plan that repairs the DNA and is carried out by poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs). The new class of breast cancer drug Abemaciclib , which belongs to CDK4/6 inhibitors have shown the most positive effect on metastatic breast cancer, especially in HER2+ breast cancers .This was designed as the breakthrough therapy Abemaciclib and is armed with certain advantages over its rivals. The clinical studies results have put Abemaciclib roughly on par with its competitors in the first-line setting. Side effects that occurred in 20% or more of patients in studies were diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, leukopenia. Verzenio is another type of medicine which is used to treat a type
