Positive Response Fuels New Efforts by Dr. Anosh Ahmed and the Anosh Inc. Foundation to Support Families of Fallen Officers and FBI Agents
CHICAGO, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A growing wave of public support continues to surround the efforts led by Dr. Anosh Ahmed and the Anosh Inc. Foundation to provide aid to the families of fallen FBI agents and law enforcement officers. Inspired by the positive momentum, Dr. Ahmed is expanding the initiative with renewed focus on fundraising, public education, and community engagement to create long-lasting support for those who have served.Anosh Foundation on the Move
This renewed commitment builds on the foundation's $25,000 donation to nonprofit organizations that support FBI families and law enforcement mental health programs. That initial effort drew widespread appreciation and has inspired new levels of public interest and engagement.
'The response from the community has been deeply encouraging and humbling,' said Dr. Ahmed. 'Through the Anosh Inc Foundation, we're committed to going beyond a one-time donation. This is about creating a broader movement that recognizes the sacrifices made by law enforcement families and ensures they are not forgotten.'
As part of the expansion, the foundation is planning a series of new initiatives aimed at both raising funds and increasing awareness. These include benefit events, targeted donation drives, educational outreach, and collaborations with community organizations that share a similar mission. The foundation also continues to explore ways to align its work with broader public service goals.
While specific partnerships are still in development, the Anosh Inc. Foundation has expressed interest in working with support groups, mental health service providers, and civic leaders who advocate for law enforcement welfare. These efforts will help address not only the immediate needs of families, but also long-term mental health and community support challenges faced by officers and their loved ones.
Dr. Anosh Ahmed emphasized that the foundation's mission is rooted in compassion, unity, and a desire to make a meaningful difference. 'Our goal is to create sustainable impact, not just reactive charity,' he noted. 'We want to help build stronger communities where those who serve and protect are respected, cared for, and supported, especially in their most difficult times.'
The Anosh Inc. Foundation has remained active in supporting communities through a range of charitable initiatives focused on public service, health access, and local engagement efforts in underserved areas.Anosh Foundation: United for a cause

Constipation and Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can lead to a variety of digestive symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, and diarrhea. For many people, CKD can also lead to constipation. There are a few different reasons why constipation can occur with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Common reasons include: a lack of fiber in diets intended for people with CKD fluid restrictions for people with later-stage CKD co-occurring or secondary conditions medication side effects Treatments, which include lifestyle changes such as eating more fiber and increasing exercise levels, can often help relieve symptoms. This article examines the causes and treatment of constipation in people with CKD and reviews the early symptoms of kidney disease and kidney failure. Constipation isn't typically a symptom of kidney failure. What causes constipation with chronic kidney disease? CKD can lead to constipation for some people. Common causes of constipation for people with kidney disease include: Renal diets It can be difficult enough for people eating a standard American diet to get the fiber they need. People who are on a renal diet are limited in their food choices, and many foods that are high in fiber have traditionally been excluded. However, newer recommendations for people with chronic kidney disease are less strict about fiber-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables, meaning it's safe to add these foods to a renal diet. Co-occurring conditions Many of the conditions that commonly occur alongside kidney disease, such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypercalcemia, can slow down your digestive system. A slow digestive system can lead to constipation. Bacterial imbalance in the gut A bacterial imbalance in the gut, called dysbiosis, can occur when your kidney isn't working correctly. It happens because your kidneys aren't filtering bacteria. This leads to an abnormal mix of bacteria in your intestines, which can cause constipation. Medication reactions People with kidney disease may develop secondary conditions such as gout, anemia, or bone disease. Some of the medications prescribed for these secondary conditions, including blood pressure medications, iron supplements, anti-nausea medications, and calcium supplements, can cause constipation in some people. Fluid restrictions People with later-stage kidney disease may need to restrict their fluid intake, especially those undergoing dialysis. This can make it challenging to get enough hydration to avoid constipation. What's the best way to treat constipation with chronic kidney disease? Treating constipation depends on several factors, but lifestyle and diet changes can often help resolve the condition. Doctors typically recommend starting with lifestyle changes before progressing to medication. Lifestyle treatments that can help people with chronic kidney disease get relief from constipation include: Eating more fiber: Getting enough fiber in your diet is one of the best ways to combat constipation. Fiber helps carry waste through your system. It's found in a variety of foods, including whole grains, nuts, lentils, beans, oats, apples, pears, and vegetables. Increasing your activity: Fitness combats constipation. Exercise helps your blood flow and helps food move through your digestive system. You can start small; even walking a little every day will make a difference. Increasing fluids: Fluids are one of the best ways to beat constipation. People with chronic kidney disease can talk with their doctors about the best way to get enough fluid to keep their digestive systems moving. Try probiotics: Probiotics are live microorganisms that are found in fermented food that can help relieve constipation. Fermented foods included options such as yogurt, sauerkraut, miso, kimchi, tempeh, natto, and homemade pickles. Ask your doctor or dietitian about the right amount of these foods to add to your diet. Relieve symptoms with an over-the-counter (OTC) medication: If your symptoms are severe and haven't been relieved by methods such as hydration or fiber, an OTC medication can help. However, it's important not to take these medications for longer thana few days. OTC options include stool softeners, stimulant laxatives, and fiber supplements. Prescription-strength medications: Your doctor might prescribe prescription versions of any medication if lifestyle changes aren't enough. Biofeedback therapy: Biofeedback therapy is a treatment that retrains the muscles that control bowel movements. How does constipation affect the outlook for people with chronic kidney disease? Constipation can affect the quality of life and outlook for people with CKD. A 2019 study found that constipation can increase the chances of mortality and was linked to a higher risk of serious complications such as end stage renal disease, heart disease, and Parkinson's disease. The study also found that constipation in people with CKD led to a higher risk of developing coronary heart disease and stroke. Is constipation an early warning sign of kidney disease? Constipation isn't typically an early sign of kidney disease. It's more common for kidney disease to cause early symptoms such as: fatigue difficulty concentrating anemia loss of appetite insomnia unexplained muscle cramping sleep apnea red or pink urine urine that appears foamy frequent urinary urges skin that is dry and itchy puffiness around the eyes swollen feet and ankles For people with CKD, what are the symptoms of kidney failure? As kidney disease progresses, it can cause increased symptoms. Some symptoms are similar to early symptoms but are more severe. Other symptoms are unlikely to show up until chronic kidney disease has progressed to kidney failure. Symptoms of kidney failure include: fever fatigue confusion skin rash itchy skin very pale skin weakness unexplained muscle cramping bone pain no urine production or excessive urine production unusual bleeding nose bleeding back pain stomach pain a mass in the stomach diarrhea that is sometimes bloody loss of appetite bad breath a metallic taste in the mouth vomiting that is sometimes severe swelling throughout the body difficulty hearing Takeaway Chronic kidney disease doesn't always cause constipation, but there are a number of reasons why it does for many people with CKD. Renal diets, fluid restrictions, medications, co-occurring disorders, and more can all lead to constipation. Treatment can bring relief and often includes lifestyle changes such as eating more fiber, getting more exercise, and increasing fluids. When these methods aren't enough, medications, biofeedback, and surgery can be options.

Lupita Nyong'o reveals uterine fibroid battle
Lupita Nyong'o has revealed she has spent more than a decade fighting uterine fibroids. The Oscar winner shared details of her longtime struggle with the chronic condition in a candid Instagram post and explained she learned of her diagnosis more than a decade ago. "In March 2014, I won an Academy Award. That same year, I discovered I had uterine fibroids," Lupita, 42, wrote on 15 July. "30 fibroids. I had surgery to remove them. I asked my doctor if I could do anything to prevent them from recurring. She said: 'You can't. It's only a matter of time until they grow again'." Lupita went on to explain that fibroids are "non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus" but that while they might be far from rare, with "8 out of 10 Black women" and "7 out of 10 white women" experiencing fibroids, they were infrequently discussed. "When we reach puberty, we're taught that periods mean pain, and that pain is simply part of being a woman," she wrote. "I started talking about my experience privately, and I realized so many women are going through this. We're struggling alone with something that affects most of us. No more suffering in silence!" To that end, Lupita explained, she had joined forces with a group of congresswomen with the aim of legislating funding for research, early detection and treatment.

Lupita Nyong'o Received An Unexpected Health Diagnosis The Same Year She Won Her First Oscar
July marks Fibroid Awareness Month, and as a way to educate more women about the condition, Lupita Nyong'o shared a little insight into her journey with uterine fibroids. Related: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths/tumors that grow inside the uterus. Although it's common, many women can go years without realizing they have them, while others may experience symptoms like heavy or painful periods, pelvic pain, longer or more frequent periods, constipation, and strong discomfort or pain during sex, according to the Mayo Clinic. Earlier today, in a vulnerable post published to Instagram, the A Quiet Place: Day One star shared when she first learned about her diagnosis, and why she refuses to suffer in silence anymore. "This Fibroid Awareness Month and beyond," Lupita wrote, "I hope my experience will resonate with anyone else who has ever felt dismissed, confused or alone." Related: "And I hope to seek answers for the far too many women dealing with uterine fibroids (80% of Black women and 70% of white women by age 50!). We deserve better. It's time to demand it. Silence serves no one!" Lupita went on to reveal that she had 30 fibroids and she went into surgery to have them all removed. But after speaking with her doctor, she was left shocked after being told there was nothing she could do to prevent the tumors from growing again. Related: She also provided some vital information about the condition in hopes of more women speaking out about it, and to encourage more doctors to view it with more concern. Lupita noted that the size of the fibroids can range from the "size of a pea to as large as a melon." "When we reach puberty, we're taught that periods mean pain, and that pain is simply part of being a woman," she added. "We're struggling alone with something that affects most of us. No more suffering in silence!" "We need to stop treating this massive issue like a series of unfortunate coincidences. We must reject the normalization of female pain." Related: To help provide more research into uterine fibroids, Lupita revealed that she's joined several women in Congress to introduce a package of uterine fibroid bills that will ultimately expand research funding, assist with early detection and intervention of fibroids, study causes of uterine cancer, and, of course, spread more awareness. She also launched a grant that will seek research proposals to "develop minimally invasive or non-invasive treatments for uterine fibroids to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for the 15 million patients suffering from this chronic condition in the U.S. alone." To learn more, be sure to check out Lupita's full post below, along with the resources she's provided. View this photo on Instagram Also in Celebrity: Also in Celebrity: Also in Celebrity:
