Nutrition and Dietary Patterns
In relation to nutrition and dietary patterns, eating behavior is defined as a broad construct that covers feeding practices, food choice, and dieting. Persistent disturbances in eating behavior can lead to the onset and progression of eating disorders, which constitute severe mental conditions with significant impact on physical, psychological, and social function. Current research has explored brain markers among different eating disorder samples, observing impaired neurocognitive processes, different brain structures, and altered functional connectivity compared with healthy control samples. Specific affectations in executive functions, sensitivity to reward-punishment processes, and neurobiological mechanisms have been related to the beginning and duration of eating behavior-related problems. At the global level, along with the growth in average life expectancy, one of society's salient attainments during the last century has been the identification of early biomarkers of cognitive decline. The proactive management of extrinsic modifiable risk factors (such as dietary patterns) to prevent early neurodegenerative conditions and enhance healthy aging are also becoming more important. Studies have examined the role of nutrition, for example, the intake of specific macro- and micronutrients present in balanced diets that can improve cognitive functions and mitigate age-related cognitive decline. Thus, the impact of diet and nutrition on age-associated cognitive decline is becoming an increasingly significant field of study.

Generic versus Branded Drugs
This study is an attempt to explore the quality of generic versus branded drugs. This study has once again dispelled the myth that "only the costly drugs are more effective" and highlights the need of all stakeholders to promote the use of generic drugs in India as well as in other countries. we concluded that the branded products and their counterparts, branded generic products, conformed to the statutory quality standards laid down under the Indian laws [Drugs and cosmetics act, 1940 and rules, 1945]. In addition, no difference in their quality was noted, irrespective of the fact that they carry different price tag and the manufacturing companies adopt different marketing strategies. This study further revealed that the price tag does not have any bearing on the quality of products. Thus, the general belief that costly branded product is of a better quality does not sound true for this particular medicine. Hence, to say that cheaper drug product is cheaper in quality and vice versa appears to be a misconception.

Herbal Indicators from Natural Sources
Introduction: Herbal indicators are naturally occurring substances derived from plant sources that exhibit distinct color changes in response to variations in pH or chemical environments. These plant-based indicators serve as eco-friendly, biodegradable, and non-toxic alternatives to synthetic chemical indicators traditionally used in analytical chemistry and titrations.Sources of Herbal Indicators: Common plants that serve as sources of indicators include: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (Shoe flower)Rosa indica (Rose)Beta vulgaris (Beetroot)Brassica oleracea (Red cabbage)Curcuma longa (Turmeric)Clitoria ternatea (Butterfly pea)These plants contain naturally occurring pigments such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, betalains, and curcuminoids that undergo visible changes under different pH conditions.Mechanism of Action: The color change in herbal indicators is due to the structural transformation of pigment molecules under acidic or basic conditions. Anthocyanins (found in red cabbage, hibiscus, rose) shift from red (acidic) to purple/blue (neutral) to green/yellow (basic).Curcumin (from turmeric) is yellow in acidic/neutral and turns reddish-brown in basic media.Applications in Research.
