Fast Food, Fast Life, and Erectile Dysfunction in Men: A Scientific Academic and Policy Review Abstract Erectile dysfunction (ED) is increasingly recognized not only as a quality-of-life condition but also as an early marker of cardiometabolic disease. Parallel to the global rise in ED is the expansion of fast food consumption and accelerated lifestyles characterized by sedentary behavior, chronic stress, sleep disruption, and metabolic imbalance. This paper synthesizes scientific evidence linking fast food–dominated dietary patterns and modern lifestyle factors to erectile dysfunction through vascular, endocrine, inflammatory, and neuropsychological pathways. It further examines the public health and policy implications of these associations and proposes preventive strategies that integrate nutrition, urban design, workplace health, and food system regulation. Keywords Erectile dysfunction, fast food, diet, cardiometabolic health, lifestyle, public health policy 1. Introduction ...

House Design, Engineering, and Malaria Mosquito Management: An Integrated Scientific Policy and Academic Review Abstract Malaria transmission is strongly influenced by the interaction between human dwellings and mosquito vector ecology. While malaria control policies have historically emphasized insecticide-based vector control and pharmaceutical interventions, growing evidence demonstrates that housing design and engineering play a critical, durable, and underutilized role in reducing malaria risk. This paper provides an in-depth scientific and policy analysis of how house design, construction materials, ventilation, and settlement planning influence malaria mosquito entry, resting behavior, and human–vector contact. It evaluates engineering-based interventions as both standalone and complementary tools within integrated vector management (IVM) frameworks and proposes policy pathways to embed housing improvements into national malaria control and urban development strategies.

Preventing and Treating Malaria: Finding the Policy Balance Between Effectiveness, Safety, and Sustainability Abstract Malaria remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in many low- and middle-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Over the past decades, substantial progress has been achieved through vector control, chemoprevention, and effective case management. However, malaria control policies face persistent trade-offs between prevention and treatment, chemical and non-chemical interventions, short-term disease reduction and long-term sustainability, and human health protection and environmental safety. This paper critically examines where the balance lies in preventing and treating malaria, with a specific focus on policy design, implementation challenges, and unintended consequences. A balanced, integrated, and adaptive policy framework is proposed to ensure durable malaria control while minimizing health, environmental, and social risks. K...

Use of Beauty and Personal Care Products and Implications for Women’s Reproductive Health: A Scientific Policy and Academic Review Abstract The global use of beauty and personal care products has increased markedly over the past decades, with women representing the primary consumers. Many of these products contain chemical ingredients with endocrine-disrupting, reproductive, or developmental toxicity potential. Chronic, low-dose, and cumulative exposure through dermal absorption, inhalation, and inadvertent ingestion has raised growing concern regarding long-term effects on women’s reproductive health. This paper synthesizes current scientific evidence linking cosmetic and personal care product use to reproductive health outcomes in women, examines exposure pathways and biological mechanisms, and evaluates regulatory and policy gaps. A precautionary, evidence-based policy framework is proposed to better protect women’s reproductive health. Keywords Beauty products, cosmetics, end...

Notorious Antibiotic Abuses and Reproductive Health Disorders in Women: A Scientific Policy Analysis Abstract The widespread misuse and overuse of antibiotics in human medicine, agriculture, and environmental settings has emerged as a major global public health concern. Beyond the well-established crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), growing evidence suggests that chronic and inappropriate antibiotic exposure may contribute to reproductive health disorders in women through microbiome disruption, endocrine interference, immune modulation, and indirect environmental pathways. This policy-oriented scientific paper examines notorious patterns of antibiotic abuse, evaluates mechanistic and epidemiological links to female reproductive health disorders, and outlines regulatory, clinical, and environmental policy responses required to mitigate long-term risks. Keywords Antibiotic misuse, women’s reproductive health, endocrine disruption, microbiome, antimicrobial resistance, public ...

High-Rise Residential Buildings and Telecommunication Towers: Safety and Public Health Implications Abstract Rapid urbanization has led to the proliferation of high-rise residential buildings and the increasing integration of telecommunication infrastructure, including base stations and antennae, within or adjacent to residential environments. While these developments support housing demand and digital connectivity, they also raise important safety and public health concerns. This paper reviews the physical, environmental, and health implications of high-rise residential living in proximity to telecommunication equipment, with particular attention to structural safety, electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, fire risk, occupational hazards, and psychosocial impacts. Evidence indicates that most risks are manageable through proper design, regulation, and monitoring; however, regulatory gaps, poor enforcement, and public misinformation can amplify health and safety vulnerabilities.

Antihistamine Use in Food-Producing Animals and Long-Term Implications for Allergic Reactions and Anaphylactic Risk in Humans Abstract Antihistamines are occasionally used in food-producing animals to manage allergic reactions, stress-related histamine release, transport-associated inflammation, and as adjuncts in veterinary therapeutics. Although their use is far less scrutinized than antibiotics or growth promoters, the presence of antihistamine residues and antihistamine-mediated alterations in animal physiology raise important food safety and immunological concerns. This review examines the potential long-term implications of antihistamine use in meat animals for human allergic disease patterns, including allergic sensitization, altered immune responsiveness, and the severity of anaphylactic reactions. Drawing on evidence from pharmacology, immunology, veterinary medicine, and food safety, the paper highlights plausible mechanisms of risk, major knowledge gaps, and regulatory...
