Baby milk in Syria
Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure child health and survival. However, contrary to WHO recommendations, fewer than half of infants under 6 months old are exclusively breastfed. Infant formulas are liquids or reconstituted powders fed to infants and young children to serve as substitutes for human milk. Infant formulas have a special role in the diet because they are the only source of nutrients for some infants...

At home pharmacy
A drug is any substance that is used to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent disease. Usually, with each drug, there is a written scientific explanation that explains its composition, indications, contraindications, side effects and dosages. Moreover, each pharmacist must explain in a clear way to the patient how to use the drug and its duration. But in reality, most people do not pay attention to the written scientific explanation and do not adhere to the pharmacist's instructions.
Aquaponics Food Production Systems : Combined Aquaculture and Hydroponic Production Technologies for the Future
This book, written by world experts in aquaponics and related technologies, provides the authoritative and comprehensive overview of the key aquaculture and hydroponic and other integrated systems, socio-economic and environmental aspects. Aquaponic systems, which combine aquaculture and vegetable food production offer alternative technology solutions for a world that is increasingly under stress through population growth, urbanisation, water shortages, land and soil degradation, environmental pollution, world hunger and climate change.
Anti-Inflammatory diet
An anti-inflammatory diet may serves as a complementary treatment for many conditions that worsen with chronic inflammation, and an anti-inflammatory diet focuses on fresh fruits and vegetables. Combine a variety of foods that are rich in nutrients, provide a range of antioxidants, and contain healthy fats. Such as fatty fish, green tea, berries, and special herbs such as curcumin, ginger, and licorice. ..
Antarctica : Contributions to Global Earth Sciences
Sixty articles arranged in eight thematic sections refer to most recent geological and geophysical results of Antarctic research. The Precambrian of the East Antarctic shield and its geological history is considered as well as sub-ice topography, geophysics and stratigraphy, sedimentology and geophysics of the surrounding Southern Ocean. Particular emphasis is given to the connection of the Antarctic and the surrounding continents when forming part of Gondwana.
Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer is a disease which has not a cure yet, and about 10% of the population worldwide will suffer from it. However younger people may also develop this disease mainly at 45 years old mainly women who has double the rate of incidence since 1 if five women will certainly develop it. Therefore the goal of our research is to study first of all the history of such popular disease and its risk factors and current therapies or iagnostic tools and more important we will introduce a test which was discovered few months ago to predict the risk of developing Alzheimer few decades before it occurs and we will apply it in our laboratories in Syria as well. Beside this preventive test we will add also a very important diet to follow up by people who has a family history.
Alternative medicines for diabetes management : Advances in pharmacognosy and medicinal chemistry
Apart from diet and exercise, the strategic use of different classes of prescribed or non-prescribed xenobiotic compounds for the restoration of euglycemic levels in the body is well known. The ongoing rivalry between the recommended usage of allopathic medicines versus ayurvedic remedies has encouraged many researchers to focus their studies on thoroughly isolating and characterizing the extracts from different parts of plants and then evaluating their relative activities via in vitro, in vivo and in some cases clinical studies.

Academic Study of Common Diets
The foods you choose to eat can have a direct impact on your ability to enjoy life to its fullest. Perhaps the most obvious positive effect of food is the pleasurable feeling you get from eating a good-tasting meal. Over the past decade there has been an increasing concern about the impact of chronic diseases on the health of developing world populations. Traditionally, major causes of illness and death in developing countries have been linked to infectious diseases and undernutrition, and these are still major public health problems in several regions of the world. Obesity is recognized as an underlying risk factor for many of these chronic conditions. As in developed societies, the risk of obesity in developing countries is also strongly influenced by diet and lifestyle, which are changing dramatically as a result of the economic and nutrition transition.
