Cassava Overview

Cassava Cassava, also known as yuca, is a starchy root vegetable and a dietary mainstay in numerous tropical and developing nations. Despite its nutritional significance, cassava is not without concern, as it contains potentially harmful cyanogenic glycosides. Ongoing research is directed towards the development of genetically modified variants with reduced toxicity, aiming to mitigate health-related concers associated with its consumption. In addition to its role as a dietary staple, cassava supplements are sometimes marketed as a fertility aid, specifically highlighting an increased probability of conceiving twins. This claim is grounded in the notion that select cassava supplements can induce hyper-ovulation without the adverse effects commonly associated with prescription fertility medications. It is pertinent to note, however, that this assertion currently lacks any substantiation in studies. Beyond its purported use for fertility, available evidence suggests a potential reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes with an increased intake of cassava flour in the diet.

Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir Ritonavir Overview

  • The combination of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir is usually used in combination with ribavirin (Copegus, Rebetol), but sometimes it is used alone to treat a certain type of chronic (long-term) hepatitis C infection (swelling of the liver caused by a virus). Ombitasvir is a hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitor. It works by stopping the virus that causes hepatitis C from spreading inside the body. Paritaprevir is a protease inhibitor. It works by decreasing the amount of HCV in the body. Ritonavir is a protease inhibitor. It helps to increase the amount of paritaprevir in the body so that the medication will have a greater effect.
