Introduction: Few biomarkers can be used clinically to diagnose and assess the severity of depression. However, a decrease in activity and sleep efficiency can be observed in depressed patients, and recent technological developments have made it possible to measure these changes. In addition, physiological changes, such as heart rate variability, can be used to distinguish depressed patients from normal persons; these parameters can be used to improve diagnostic accuracy.

- Colorectal cancer is a significant health concern, making prevention strategies essential, particularly through diet and nutrition, with garlic being noted for its medicinal properties.
- Aged garlic extract (AGE) was studied and shown to suppress the growth of colorectal cancer cells while having varying effects on their invasive capabilities, suggesting the influence of cancer cell type on garlic's effects.
- AGE not only inhibited the proliferation and tube formation of endothelial cells (important for blood vessel development) but also enhanced their adhesion to important structural proteins, indicating its potential as a chemopreventive agent against colorectal cancer by reducing angiogenesis.
