Sargassum polycystum , a brown seaweed, contains various nutrients and bioactive compounds that have antioxidant and healing properties. Sargassum polycystum  (sargassaceae) is a marine species found in large communities on rocks in lower intertial zone in relatively calm water. The medicinal algae is also called as Sargassum polycystum , HalimiumLasianthum and Sargaco in Portuguese. These are nutritious and rich source of bioactive compound such as vitamins, carotenoids, dietary fibers, protein and minerals. And also it contain biologically active compound like terpenoids, flavonoids, sterols, sulfated polysaccharides, polyphenols, sargaquinoic acids, sargachromenol, pheophytine when isolated using distillation processes. These isolated compounds exhibit different biological activities like analgesic, hepotoprotective property, Anti-bacterial and anti-microbial activity, Anti-diabetic activity, Antiwrinke activities and skin-whitening activity (cosmetic industry), neuroprotective, anticoagulant, antiviral activity etc,. Hence Sargassum polycystum have great potential to be used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical areas. This review paper explores varies therapeutic potential and health benefits of Sargassum polycystum

Aging is not a phenomenon exclusive to modern societies, it has been present in all stages of social development and has always been of interest to philosophy, art and medicine. However, during the past century, we are witnessing a unique situation: more and more people have passed the beginning of what man has called the stage of old age and the privilege of some has been transformed into an opportunity for many; This made the aging population a challenge for modern societies. It would suffice to point out that from the beginning of human history until the beginning of the 20th century, human beings achieved an average lifespan of 47 years and from then until today this average increased by almost 30 years and is considered one of the achievements. most important of humanity.

The muscle skeletal system commonly suffers traumatic injuries, the tibia due to its anatomical characteristics is more susceptible to fractures. It is intended to present a series of preliminary results on minimally invasive osteosynthesis for the treatment of these lesions. Theoretical and empirical methods are used to perform the analysis of updated knowledge about them. Most of the patients treated with minimally invasive surgery for their tibia fractures are male (85.52%) and their age is generally between 40 and 60 years (48.15%). The most affected anatomical region was the distal third of the tibia. The surgical time for osteosynthesis decreased to 43 minutes, with few complications.

It is concluded that MIPO is an option for the treatment of tibial fractures taking into account its indications, it can be reproducible without the need for special instrumentation and as it is a biological osteosynthesis that preserves vascularization and the fracture hematoma has fewer risks of complications.

The Life Switch is part of the Immune System which is part of the body’s operating system. It is in the mind. Normally the Life Switch is always on. If it is turned off, death soon follows. Why this should happen and whether it can be stopped are the questions asked in this article.

Fundamento. Las fracturas del tobillo presentan una alta incidencia a nivel nacional, son lesiones comunes en los pacientes atendidos en la región centro norte de la provincia de Villa Clara.

Objetivo. Se realizó el presente estudio con el propósito de describir el comportamiento de las fracturas del tobillo entre el primero de enero del 2017 al 31 de diciembre del año 2020, de los pacientes atendidos en el área.

Método. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, observacional, longitudinal y prospectivo teniendo como muestra los pacientes con fracturas del tobillo atendidos por el servicio de Ortopedia y Traumatología del Hospital Mártires del 9 de Abril, se utilizaron métodos científicos de investigación.

Resultados. Las lesiones más frecuentes se observan en los pacientes adultos, que viven en el municipio  Sagua la Grande, predominan las fracturas unimaleolares, con mayor incidencia en los meses de junio y julio, con mecanismo de producción más frecuente la supinación-rotación externa, se obtienen mejores resultados y menos complicaciones con el tratamiento conservador.

Conclusión. El estudio epidemiológico permite reconocer el comportamiento de dichas lesiones y se propone medidas para la extensión a toda la provincia.
