Vitamin D synthesis is a crucial process by which the body produces vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin essential for various physiological functions, including bone health, immune function, and regulation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Unlike most vitamins, which are obtained primarily through diet, vitamin D can be synthesized in the skin upon exposure to ultraviolet […]
Age-related diseases
Age-related diseases are health conditions that become more prevalent as individuals grow older, typically due to physiological changes associated with aging, genetic predispositions, and cumulative exposure to risk factors over time. While aging is a natural process that occurs in all living organisms, it is also a major risk factor for the development of chronic […]

Chronic-kidney-failure
Chronic kidney failure, also known as chronic renal failure, is a progressive and irreversible decline in kidney function over time. This condition develops gradually, often over months or years, and can lead to permanent kidney damage and impaired kidney function. Chronic kidney failure is typically caused by underlying health conditions that damage the kidneys’ filtering […]
Acute kidney failure
Acute kidney failure, also known as acute renal failure, is a sudden and severe loss of kidney function. This condition develops rapidly over a few hours or days and can lead to dangerous levels of waste products accumulating in the body. Acute kidney failure can be caused by various factors, including severe dehydration, sudden drop […]
Kidney-failure

This can result in a buildup of toxins and fluid in the body, leading to various health complications. Chronic kidney failure can develop gradually over time or occur suddenly due […]
Stroke
A stroke, often referred to as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, leading to damage or death of brain cells. Strokes can be classified into two main types: ischemic strokes and hemorrhagic strokes. Ischemic strokes occur when a blood clot blocks a blood […]
Heart-disease
Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease, encompasses a range of conditions that affect the heart’s structure and function. These conditions include coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and congenital heart defects, among others. Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for millions of deaths each year. Risk factors for heart disease […]
Cardiovascular-diseases
Cardiovascular diseases refer to a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. These diseases are among the leading causes of death globally, accounting for a significant burden of morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases include hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, […]
