Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or primary liver cancer originates from the functional cells of the liver called hepatocytes. Hepatocellular carcinoma is responsible for the fourth-highest number of deaths due to cancer globally. Over 80% of HCC cases occur in regions with limited medical and social care resources, particularly in Eastern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
Headaches are a common occurrence, impacting the lives of nearly everyone from time to time. They rank prominently among the reasons why individuals seek medical advice from their primary healthcare physicians. While they can sometimes serve as an indicator of more significant underlying health issues, their primary impact lies in the personal and societal burdens they impose such as pain, decreased quality of life, and so on. Despite their widespread impact, headaches often receive insufficient attention in the allocation of healthcare resources, highlighting the need for greater recognition of this public health concern. Worldwide prevalence of active headaches is currently at 52% of the general population, thus indicating the importance of focusing on this topic.
Dementia refers to a range of cognitive disorders affecting memory, thinking skills, behavior, and daily functionality. It's not a specific disease but a syndrome resulting from various underlying conditions or diseases that cause gradual and irreversible brain deterioration. The World Health Organization reported that in 2020, 55 million people were diagnosed with dementia, with a significant majority from low-to-middle-income regions. This number is projected to double in the next two decades.
