Cardiac disorders are among the leading causes of mortality worldwide, driven largely by lifestyle changes and unhealthy dietary patterns. Traditional food systems, developed through centuries of empirical knowledge, emphasize whole grains, plant-based foods, functional spices, fermented products, and healthy fats that collectively support cardio vascular health. This review comprehensively examines traditional and healthy foods beneficial for the prevention and management of cardiac disorders.

We introduce the addition cube graph over a ring R, whose vertices are the elements of R, and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent whenever x+y is a cube in R. We investigate fundamental graph-theoretic properties including degree, regularity, connectivity, bipartiteness, and Hamiltonian path for finite fields, we determine conditions under which every element is a cube and analyze the resulting connectivity behavior. In particular, the graph is complete over R and C, connected over Z and Z_n, and disconnected over F(x) when char⁡(F)=3.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder requiring long-term therapeutic management, and herbal formulations offer promising alternatives due to their safety and multitargeted action. The present study aimed to formulate and evaluate phytosomes containing hydroalcoholic extract of Garuga pinnata for enhanced antidiabetic activity. The hydroalcoholic extraction yielded 8.50% w/w of extract, which was subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening and quantitative estimation of alkaloids.

The megalithic cultural remains are a major topic of research all around the world. The monuments associated with the culture show innumerable variety in types and chronology. Many ancient beliefs and practices can be read from the tangible remains found from the megaliths and juxtaposing the m with some of the ethnic practices related to the dead vogue today.

Le forage RO est situé dans le bassin Onshore ivoirien dans la région d’Aboisso. Dans l’optique de trouver une zone propice pour répondre aux besoins en eau portable de la ville d’Abidjan, les analyses litho-granulométriques et diagraphiques ont étés effectuées sur quarante-trois (43) échantillons, pour comprendre les cyclicités sédimentaires dans la mise en place des réservoirs hydrauliques (aquifères) le long du forage.

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLR) is a rare inherited disease characterized by abnormalities in phosphorus metabolism caused by a mutation in the PHEX gene. Biochemically, it is characterized by hypophosphatemia secondary to hyperphosphaturia and vitamin D deficiency, and clinically by bone deformities in the lower extremities and growth retardation. Conventional treatment with phosphate salts and active vitamin D has been used for over 45 years; however, it has been associated with nephrocalcinosis.
