Physician Himmatrao Saluba Bawaskar, has come to the light for his pioneering medical research work on the scorpion sting envenomation
treatment that helped to save millions of lives of poor, marginalized communities not only in rural India but also in several other countries in middle east, Africa,
Brazil, Mexico, where poisonous scorpion stings are prevalent. His treatment approaches drastically reduced fatality rate to 1%. At his private hospital in a
small town, Mahad located in western Maharashtra in India, he has conducted research with his own funds which led to innovation and created inspiration
among physicians to treat scorpion sting victims, those were previously neglected and untreated for centuries.

Cola drink is a carbonated non-alcohol soft drink with complex mixtures, containing different chemical substances such as color combinations, flavoring
agents, additives, preservatives, sweetener and caffeine. They are usually mixed with water (H2O) plus 1-3% liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), 3-5% liquid
sugar, acidified to 2.4-4.0 pH, emulsifiers and flavors (Ashurst et al.1998). Sugar is one of the simplest forms of carbohydrate. It is made up the simple sugars,
fructose and glucose. Simple sugar (glucose) was discovered independently by
German and Russian chemist.

Multiple myeloma is an incurable malignant hematologic disorder characterized by abnormal monoclonal plasma cell proliferation in the bone
marrow. While its etiology remains unclear, no direct correlation has been established between prior trauma and the development of plasma cell dyscrasia
at the same site. However, some cases have suggested a possible association.

Bowel obstruction is a surgical emergency that remains a challenge, both diagnostic and management-wise. Post-operative adhesions, congenital or
acquired bands, and obstructed hernia are common causes. In developing countries like Pakistan tuberculosis is another important cause. Intestinal
tumors remain the rare cause of particularly small bowel obstruction as one can’t think of these initially. And the presentation of intestinal obstruction is
also variable, cardinal features of abdominal pain, distension, vomiting and obstipation not seen in all cases.

The assessment of heart diseases is controversial, a fact that may be interpreted by the influence of left ventricle (LV) dysfunction [1]. Many
indicators may be helpful to characterize cardiac function during contraction, as the quantification of the left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) but their feasibility
is not enough for the doctor's decision. For this reason, the efficient diagnosis consists of tracking the left ventricle kinetics and the detection of the abnormal
contractility such as hypokinesia.

Endometriosis refers to the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue. Extrapelvic endometriosis can manifest as distinct mass known as abdominal
wall endometrioma (AWE). Diagnosis can be challenging due to nonspecific and variable nature of clinical symptoms. Awareness of this entity can help make
early diagnosis and treatment.

Myocarditis is one of the main causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in athletes. According to current international recommendations, athletes should generally
refrain from competitive sports for three to six months after experiencing myocarditis. However, this period may be extended to 12 months in complicated
cases. This recommendation is based on limited evidence, primarily from autopsy studies and expert opinion. The uncertainty stems from the fact
that suspending athletes for prolonged periods can disrupt their training and competitions, potentially resulting in decreased performance and an inability
to compete.

Hospitalization following a head injury is associated with high rates of disability that have a strong correlation with depression, anxiety, and low
self-esteem. Well-being is related to life satisfaction, quality of life, happiness, personal growth and flourishing, competence, self-acceptance, positive
relationships, and autonomy. The well-being of patients and their main caregiver is important when a patient is left with impaired mobility after neurosurgery
