Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disorder caused by wear and tear on the joint over time; as a result, the protective cartilage of the bone in the joint gradually wears down. The lifetime risk of developing OA in the knee, with symptoms such as pain, aching, and stiffness, is 40% in men and 47% in

Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality with an incidence of 5-9 per 100,000 population. The incidence of aSAH peaks amongst those of 40-60 years1; aSAH carries a high overall mortality rate of up to 67%2 with only around half of the survivors able

Disuse following injury or during acute hospitalization is associated with a host of negative outcomes including functional deficiencies, hospital readmission, disability, and increased mortality. Older adults are a particularly vulnerable population as functional (vascular and skeletal muscle

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. The loss of dopamine through denervation in the striatum as a result of progressive neuronal degeneration in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), is the primary neurotransmitter marker of the disease.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is primarily a disease process of the gastrointestinal tract of neonates that results in inflammation and bacterial invasion of the bowel wall. Despite extensive research, the pathophysiology of NEC remains unclear and therapeutic options are limited. Clinical

The World Health Organization (W.H.O). defines oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) as "A histologically proven lesion that is associated with a significantly increased risk of malignant transformation."Oral leukoplakia is the most commonly occurring oral potentially malignant disorder.

Results from studies involving cells, animal models and clinical trials have demonstrated that lutein and zeaxanthin potentially protect against chronic diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, coronary heart disease and stroke. Plasma concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin
