Obesity is arising as a global pandemic throughout the world. Over the past few decades, obesity has tripled worldwide, creating an alarming situation. The majority of people nowadays are suffering from obesity and overweight. It affects health of people of all age groups, ethnicity, gender, and sex, and is linked to a sedentary lifestyle of people, poor eating habits, and disturbed sleeping patterns. It causes several diseases such as diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, gallstones, and colon cancer. Many synthetic anti-obesity drugs such as orlistat, lorcaserin, phentermine, bupropion, and liraglutide are already available on the market. However, these drugs have side effects, including dry mouth and sleeping disorders, dizziness, blood pressure, heart rate elevation, constipation, and headache. Humans have a long and ancient history of dependency on traditional medicinal plants and their major bioactive antioxidant components, such as quercetin, anthocyanins, and ellagic acid, for treating such diseases and disorders. This review discusses the herbal approach, bioactive compounds, and their mechanism for treating obesity.

Brewer's spent grain is the most prevalent low-cost by-product of brewing industry, contributing to about 85% of all by-products produced. It is of interest for food industry applications because of its high nutritional value (fibres, protein and bioactive substances). The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different brewer's spent grain composition usage on various quality criteria of noodles as well as to investigate the possible usage opportunities and assessments of them in the production of noodles against obesity. For this purpose, noodle production was carried out using five different compositions of brewer's spent grain barley, barley and wheat, barley and rice, barley and maize, barley and finger millets, all at different concentrations (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%). Various quality criteria of the noodles were determined. Noodles made with the addition of barley and maize spent grains were found to be high in physio-chemical and nutritional properties, and amylase and lipase inhibition assay. Concentration above 15% of spent grains affected the texture of the noodles. From the sensory evaluation, 10% concentration of barley and maize noodles was selected as it had good texture, colour and appearance. It was comparatively good in taste and aroma from other samples.

Aim: Type of Study : To compare efcacy and side effects of Sodium Feredetate and Ferrous Ascorbate Prospective ,randomized, comparative clinical study 50 antenatal women with haemoglobin be Materials and methods : tween 8-10 gm % attending the out patient department divided into groups of 2 by randomization were treated with ferrous ascorbate (100mg elemental Iron ) and Sodium feredetate (33 mg elemental Iron ) for 30 days. Haemoglobin and ferritin estimation was done on day 0 and day 30 There Results : was signicant and comparable rise in haemoglobin and serum Ferritin in both the groups on day 30 Lower doses of elemental iron – Conclusion : Sodium Feredetate (33 mg elemental Iron) per day produce similar rise in haemoglobin levels as compared to ferrous ascorbate (100 mg elemental Iron) per day

In the quest for new physics, due to the lack of any direct evidence, the framework of Effective field theory becomes an indirect and consistent way to parametrise NP effects in terms of higher dimension operators. Among the observables with the potential to account for NP signatures, Electroweak Precision Observables and those from Higgs productions and decays play an important role. In this work, we discuss the modifications induced by the Standard Model Effective Field Theory Warsaw basis dimension-6 operators on different observables related to the electroweak sector. We present the model-independent constraints obtained from the global fit performed using the EWPO, single and di-Higgs data, as well as distributions from the di-boson production channels. In addition, we discuss the constraints imposed on the BSM extensions by the considered data via SMEFT matching.
