    Abstract Curcumin, a polyphenol compound that belongs to a class of molecules known as curcuminoids, may interact with various biological macromolecules in the body, including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. Curcumin-based fixed-dose combination (FDC) products enhance curcumin stability and bioavailability for better clinical use in cholesterol management. Preclinical studies on curcumin and cholesterol are mostly positive. Obstacles are the variable composition of the many different curcumin-based FDC products, the lack of standards, and the limitation of the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted for specific products. Once these downfalls have been addressed, curcumin-based FDC products have great potential for cholesterol management. They can supplement the uptake of statins, reducing their dosage for the same controlling effects or even replacing them.

    Abstract Over the last 24 months, there has been growing evidence of a correlation between mRNA COVID-19 vaccine boosters and increased prevalence of COVID-19 infection and other pathologies. Recent works have added possible causation to correlation. mRNA vaccine boosters may impair immune system response in immune compromised individuals. Multiple doses of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines may result in much higher levels of IgG 4 antibodies, or also impaired activation of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells. The opportunity for mRNA vaccine boosters to impair the immune system response needs careful consideration, as this impacts the cost-to-benefit ratio of the boosters' practice.

    Abstract Cancer poses a formidable challenge in the field of medical science, prompting the exploration of innovative and efficient treatment strategies. One revolutionary breakthrough in cancer therapy is Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, an avant-garde method involving the customization of a patient's immune cells to combat cancer. Particularly successful in addressing blood cancers, CAR T-cell therapy introduces an unprecedented level of effectiveness, offering the prospect of sustained disease management. As ongoing research advances to overcome current challenges, CAR T-cell therapy stands poised to become an essential tool in the fight against cancer. Ongoing enhancements aim to improve its effectiveness and reduce time and cost, with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The synergy of AI and IoT could enable more precise tailoring of CAR T-cell therapy to individual patients, streamlining the therapeutic process. This holds the potential to elevate treatment efficacy, mitigate adverse effects, and expedite the overall progress of CAR T-cell therapies.

    Abstract Curcumin has antineoplastic properties and is considered a chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive agent. Curcumin may be associated with radiation therapy (RT) as a radiosensitizer for cancer cells and a radioprotector for normal cells. In principle, it may result in a reduction of RT dosage for the same therapeutic effect on cancer cells, and further reduced damage to normal cells. Though the overall level of evidence is modest, limited to in vivo and in vitro experiences and practically no clinical trials, as the risks of adverse effects are extremely low, it is reasonable to promote the general supplementation with curcumin during RT targeting the reduction of side effects through anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

    Abstract While a considerable focus has been placed on excess fatalities during hot weather, a reanalysis of European data reveals that excess mortality attributed to cold weather is significantly more pronounced, surpassing that linked to hot weather by an order of magnitude. These ratios are noteworthy: 56.32 for the United Kingdom, 43.56 for Northern Europe, 8.49 for Western Europe, 12.41 for Eastern Europe, 5.50 for Southern Europe, and an overall ratio of 10.09 for Europe as a whole. These ratios of cold to hot excess deaths indicate a significant disparity in the number of excess deaths caused by cold weather compared to those caused by hot weather. This significant difference underscores the greater health risks and vulnerabilities associated with cold weather.
