Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide, is becoming more common because of modern lifestyle variables like stress, unhealthy eating habits, and pollution in the environment. This chapter explores the intricate relationship between illness and modern living, focusing on the management of psoriasis through dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and holistic approaches. It explores the effects of processed foods, inflammatory triggers, and gut health, emphasizing the value of nutritional methods and anti-inflammatory diets. The chapter also looks at alternative medicines like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine and stress-reduction methods like yoga and mindfulness. This chapter offers a thorough manual for anyone looking for a natural, well-rounded approach to managing psoriasis in today's fast-paced world by fusing scientific knowledge with useful suggestions.
The food processing sector plays a significant role in India’s agricultural economy through value addition, post-harvest loss reduction, employment generation, and improved farmer income. The Mega Food Park (MFP) Scheme, introduced in 2008, aimed to establish integrated processing facilities through a cluster-based approach but encountered challenges including land acquisition delays, financial constraints, complex institutional arrangements, and slow project execution. To address these limitations, the Agro Processing Cluster (APC) Scheme was introduced under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY), offering a more flexible and decentralized infrastructure development framework. This study presents a comparative documentary policy analysis of the MFP and APC schemes using secondary evidence from government reports, official publications, evaluation studies, and academic literature. The comparison examines policy objectives, institutional arrangements, project configuration, infrastructure requirements, financial assistance, implementation patterns, and geographical coverage, with quantitative comparison of indicators for 2018–19 and 2023–24. Approved grant under APC increased from ₹347.57 crore to ₹542.20 crore, while grant released rose from ₹31.79 crore to ₹236.15 crore. APC projects also achieved broader coverage across 21 states and Union Territories by 2023–24. However, the study does not directly evaluate project-level completion, operational efficiency, private-investor participation, or socioeconomic outcomes. The evidence therefore does not establish that APC is more effective than MFP or that it has fully overcome the earlier scheme’s structural limitations. Rather, the findings suggest APC represents a policy design modification whose longer-term effectiveness requires further project-level and outcome-based evaluation.
Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) containing olaparib (OLA) were designed and refined to enhance effectiveness against Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) in this study. The OLA-loaded NLC formulation was prepared by melt emulsification followed by ultrasonication. The formulation optimization was performed using a Box-Behnken design in DoE. The optimized NLCs consist of Gellucire® 50/13 as the solid lipid component, Labrafac® MC 60 as the liquid lipid, and Pluronic F 127 and PEG 400 as surfactants. Characterization of the optimized formulation revealed favourable physicochemical properties, including an average particle size of 126.0 ± 4.61 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.2 ± 0.012, a zeta potential of − 13.6 ± 1.21 mV, an entrapment efficiency of 88.5 ± 5.42
