A wide variety of diseases are continually affecting the lives of millions of people. The good news is that many of the prevalent medical conditions nowadays are possibly preventable through practicing a healthy diet and lifestyle, or consuming some dietary supplements such as turmeric.

Statin is a structural analog of HMG-CoA enzyme and is effective in reducing LDL. It shows its pharmaceutical action by inhibiting the key enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis, which is called HMG-CoA reductase. Therefore, statin is referred to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Statin has been associated with a beneficial effect on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It has significant anti-inflammatory and plaque-stabilizing effects. Its other effects include decreased oxidative stress and vascular inflammation with increased atherosclerotic lesions. Some of the currently available statins are atorvastatin, lovastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin.

Strokes take place when there is a restriction in the blood flow of the brain, and the brain tissue is deprived of nutrients and oxygen for a few seconds. There are two types of stroke, and one is Ischemic stroke.

Medicortex Finland Oy has established a new diagnostic division/arm to its core business with the goal of developing a biomarker diagnostic test that would reliably establish the severity and extent of brain injuries. The companion diagnostic will be coupled with Medicortex's signature pharmaceutical therapy that will limit the long-term effects of brain injuries, including the types of severe brain trauma that leads to strokes in patients.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory medical condition, which results in demyelination, axonal transection, and neurodegeneration of the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord. The immune system of the body targets the neurons within the CNS and damages the myelin sheath. It is a potentially debilitating disease, causing disruption in the communication and coordination functions of the body. The symptoms of multiple sclerosis differ widely, subject to the extent of damage and the number of neurons affected. Some of the symptoms observed are fatigue, numbness, spasticity, bladder dysfunction, cognitive changes, emotional changes, and depression. An individual with severe form of the disease can experience speech and movement problems. Multiple sclerosis can be broadly classified into four types: RRMS, SPMS, PPMS, and PRMS.

Phosphorus is an important element for normal physiologic functions such as bone construction, nerve function, and muscle contraction. About 85% of phosphorus is stored in the bones and different tissues in the body. The excess phosphorus is eliminated from the body by the urinary system. The normal phosphate level in the blood is 3-4 mg/dL. Electrolytic disturbance resulting in high levels of phosphate in the blood causes hyperphosphatemia. Individuals with chronic kidney diseases have a decreased glomerular filtration rate and increased serum phosphate levels. The high phosphate levels in the serum lower calcium levels because of phosphate precipitation by calcium ions, leading to calcification of vascular tissues and heart diseases. Aluminum-, calcium-, magnesium-, and iron-based and aluminum-free, calcium-free phosphate binders are used to treat the condition.

Plasma, pale yellow in color, is the component of the blood. It acts as a medium of transportation for the blood cells and other components. It carries salts and enzymes along with water and also transports nutrients, hormones, and other substances to the different parts of the body. Plasma contains immunoglobulins, clotting factors, albumin, and other components that can be used for the treatment of various diseases. The separation of plasma from the blood is done by a process known as plasmapheresis. Plasma therapeutics are utilized in the treatment of rare, life-threatening, chronic, and genetic diseases, such as immune deficiencies, pulmonary disorders, neurological disorders, shock and trauma, liver cirrhosis, and infectious diseases such as tetanus, hepatitis, and rabies.

Membranes are a type of selective barrier that are primarily used for separation or concentration of the feed stream. The feed stream is passed through the membrane that selectively allows some constituents to pass, while others are retained back on the surface of the membrane, depending on its pore size. The constituents that are allowed to pass are known as permeate and the ones retained back are known as concentrate or retentate. Different types of membrane are used in the pharmaceutical industry depending on their pore size. There are many technologies implemented for these membranes, including ultrafiltration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and nanofiltration.

Insulin is a hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreas that plays a key role in the regulation of blood glucose levels. It controls the body systems and regulates the uptake of amino acids by body cells. It helps cells absorb glucose from the blood. In diabetics, cells stop responding to the insulin produced. As a result, glucose in the blood cannot be absorbed by the cells of the body. This condition damages body tissues over the period of time and causes disabling and life-threatening health complications such as diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produces sufficient insulin to regulate blood glucose level. Individuals with this type of diabetes need to take insulin daily. Patients with type 2 diabetes also need doses of insulin coupled with medication. Different types of insulin such as human insulin and insulin analogs are available as insulin replacement therapy.

Recent incidents that question the integrity of compounded drugs administered to subjects in several cities reinforces the need for fuller licensing and fraud control for all such companies, say representatives for AbsoluteRX, a Lutz, Florida based firm and website. The call for tighter approval comes in the wake of cases such as the Moses Lake compounded pharmacy in Washington in late July, who recalled unexpired human and veterinary compounded drugs due to concerns about their sterility. The US government also reached a settlement with a Jacksonville pharmacy in July for $8.4 million, to resolve allegations of unscrupulous practices by that facility.

Autoimmune diseases are caused by aggravation of the immune system. Autoimmune diseases can last for months or even years. Autoimmune reactions occur when the immune system produces autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissues in the body rather than infectious agents. These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and organ damage. It is also known as a disease of flare-ups and remissions, and can range from mild to life-threatening in severity. No cure exists for autoimmune diseases yet. Autoimmune diseases can affect the cardiovascular system, brain, nerves, musculoskeletal system, skin, lungs, kidneys, glands, or joints. They are caused by genetic, infectious, and environmental factors. According to NIH, there are more than 80 clinically different autoimmune diseases. Some of the common types of autoimmune diseases are ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and psoriasis.
