“…Age-related, non-communicable diseases like stroke have become more common as the average life expectancy in India has increased to above 60 years old in recent years [5]. Stroke frequency ranged from 26 to 757 per 100,000 people, and case fatality rates in one month ranged from 18% to 42% [6].…”

The occurrence of an ischemic stroke arises from the unfortunate circumstance in which a blood vessel becomes impeded or obstructed, resulting from the presence of a clot, atherosclerosis, or the narrowing of arteries. The neurology department of a 300-bed, multi-specialty tertiary teaching hospital was the site of this sixmonth observational study. Prescriptions for both inpatients and outpatients in the neurology unit, totalling 90, are considered according to the inclusion criteria. Patient case sheets, questionnaires, interviews, biomedical and radiological reports, and drug regimen charts are the main data sources. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients are more prevalent in the over-60 age group than in the 20-35 age group. The information obtained indicates that male patients have greater effects than female ones. Furthermore, our research indicates that AIS is more common in obese and overweight people. One of the main risk factors for developing AIS is alcohol drinking, tobacco chewing, and smoking, which affect most AIS patients. Treatment options for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) include intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT), anti-platelet therapy, anticoagulant therapy, and adjuvant therapies using statins and drugs based on the comorbidities of the patients. This research highlights that individuals with AIS have shown higher progress when physical rehabilitation is combined with intravenous thrombolytic treatment (IVT) for patients with comorbidities. It has been found that the individuals who continued taking their medicine and therapy after their discharge from the hospital had better motor strength than those who stopped. Our study concludes that the integration of pharmacotherapy with physical rehabilitation yielded significant enhancements in the functional capacity of individuals affected by stroke. Article info

“…Degenerative aging processes and environmental, social and unhealthy lifestyles are risk factors for diseases in old age. Along with ageing, behavioral factors such as tobacco use, physical inactivity, excess consumption of alcohol and an unhealthy diet further increase the risk of Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and mortality due to NCDs [8].…”

This study employs correlation and regression analysis to compile a comprehensive profile of morbidity and psychoactive substance use among the elderly tribal and non-tribal populations in the Imphal East district of Manipur. By identifying prevalent health issues such as hypertension, osteoporosis and diabetes mellitus, alongside shared practices of alcohol consumption and chewing tobacco, the research sheds light on critical health concerns and behavioral patterns affecting this demographic. The findings provide valuable insights for targeted interventions and policy formulation to address the pressing health challenges faced by the elderly in this region. Through a thorough assessment of morbidity and substance use, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the health dynamics within the elderly population, paving the way for informed decision-making and improved healthcare strategies tailored to the needs of this vulnerable demographic group.

“…It has shown a strong association with many systemic [10] and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) [11] like hypertension [12,13] and diabetes [14,15]. NCD incidence is increasing [16][17][18][19] worldwide due to lifestyle changes [20,21], environmental factors [22,23], and genetics [24][25][26]. Periodontal or buccal cavity disease is also called "the mirror" of the entire body, as many systemic diseases have oral manifestations [27].…”

The role of vitamin D in maintaining gum well-being is crucial. However, scientific research reported that the connotations of cholecalciferol and periodontal health have been divested in the present literature. However, there is enormous heterogeneity in the data available. The current review aims to systematically review and appraise the available literature investigating the role of vitamin D in maintaining periodontal health. Studies included randomized controlled trials and clinical trials following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and cohort studies reporting associations between vitamin D and oral health in systemically healthy patients. Databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Embase, and other sources, including hand search, were searched until May 2023 using together-equipped search sequences. Altogether, scientific articles that conform to the inclusion principles underwent a thorough eminence evaluation. All papers meeting inclusion criteria were subject to quality assessment, and the method used to assess the risk of bias was the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The search identified 1883 papers, among which 1435 were excluded after title evaluation. After abstract and title screening, 455 were excluded, and six full texts were assessed. After full-text evaluation, two articles were excluded, and only four were included. The data shows vitamin D's association with oral health maintenance. Along with its action on bone metabolism, it has extended function, which provides for its action as an anti-inflammatory agent and production of anti-microbial peptides, which help maintain oral health. Although the literature available is immense, there is enormous heterogenicity in the papers conducted to appraise the association between vitamin D and oral health. This systematic review has filtered all the data to review a few essential aspects of the role of vitamin D in maintaining oral physiology. Vitamin D has a linear relationship with periodontal health; however, the evidence is insufficient, and further studies must be done.
