Ayurvedic potentials for cellular protection, regeneration and immunomodulation with special reference to resistance against low radiation
The exposure to acute low Linear Energy Transfer (LET) at more than 10 rem or 0.1 Sv due to background radiation, occupation exposure or free radicals appears to be responsible for biological changes that have a health impact on cells, including DNA damage and contribute to the ageing process and to the manifestation of diseases, including cancer. Individuals and subpopulations (cultural groups ...

Working with local health care staff to increase SWS uptake
An estimated 1.1 billion persons worldwide lack access to an improved water source. Hundreds of millions more drink contaminated water from improved sources because of unsafe water treatment and distribution systems and unsafe water storage and handling practices. The health consequences of inadequate water and ...

Total and cancer mortality of the residents living in a zone of weak technogenic radioactive contamination
Radioactive contamination of the floodplain of the Yenisei River with the wastes dumped by the Krasnoyarsk Mining and Chemical Combine (MCC) might cause external and internal irradiation of a large part of the rural population inhabiting the banks of the Yenisei. Contrary to official data, a few independent studies of the doses received by the exposed population showed that they were quite ...

Worldwide Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation
The prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation globally is rising at a significant rate. However, researchers, scientists and clinicians remain uncertain as to how many people may have the heart irregularity because of this rapid growth. In addition, there are concerns that because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be millions of people worldwide with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) who have not been ...

Drug Repurposing
Drug repurposing – uncovering new uses for already-approved medicines that could benefit patients facing a different need than originally intended – is bringing hope to millions of the desperately ill and their families. This is especially true for those suffering from rare diseases – who can’t wait a dozen or more years for a new treatment to be discovered, developed, ...

What does the environment have to do with diseases that affect the immune system?
The rise in recent decades of diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis suggests that factors in the environment are contributing. In 1932, New York gastroenterologist Burrill Crohn described an unusual disease in 14 adults. The patients had bouts of abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and lesions and scars on the bowel wall. Doctors in other parts of North America and ...

Glucose Clamp Technique: Types & Applications
Glucose clamping has become a standard, widely used technique in researching diabetes treatment as well as obesity and fatty liver studies. We've taken a look at the types and applications of clamp study and their impact on the field. The Glucose clamp technique was first developed in 1979 by professors at the UT School of Medicine: DeFronzo, Andres and Tobin as a method of measuring insulin ...

Antibody-peptide epitope conjugate (APEC), another disguise for ADC
Background Tumor immunotherapies compose immune checkpoint inhibitors, therapeutic antibodies, tumor vaccines, cellular therapies, and so on. However, each has its own set of issues, such as the fact that CAR-T therapy is an individual therapy that is costly; immune checkpoint inhibitors are highly effective, but only in some patients. The researchers expose us to a radically different way of ...

Incidence of blood circulation system illnesses among liquidators of Chernobyl accident living in Belarus
In this paper, the incidence of the illnesses of blood circulation system (IBCS) among liquidators of the Chernobyl accident living in Belarus is described. The increase of the incidence of the IBCS as a whole was found to be 19.5%, that of hypertensive diseases 52.0%, and that of acute and subsequent myocardial infarction 53.2%. The incidence of cerebral infarction increased by a factor 10. An ...

IPEG 2023: Setting a Foundation for Healthcare Transformation
I recently had the pleasure of attending the IPEG annual meeting in Sorrento, Italy. The collegiality of the surgeons attending the conference was fantastic, and the views of Sorrento and the Island of Capri were stunning. With smaller accessible markets (due to smaller patient volumes and higher incidence of rare disease), specialty areas like pediatrics have been overlooked and under-addressed ...

Why Vaccines should be Refrigerated
Each vaccine needs to be stored in a cool and refrigerated place to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness are maintained during use. Every year, millions of people are vaccinated to strengthen their immunity and protect themselves from infectious diseases. According to the regulations of the World Health Organization (WHO), vaccination is an approved tool for dealing with deadly contagious ...

Inflammation in Periodontal Disease a Red Flag for Cancer
By not taking care of your teeth there is more on the line than tooth decay and periodontal disease – although that’s bad enough. Practicing good oral hygiene may be lifesaving according to a number of research studies.Studies show a connection between Gum disease and a 63% HIgher Pancreatic Cancer in Men The link between several systemic illnesses including diabetes, heart disease, ...

When Respiratory Pathogen Metagenome Sequencing Meets Hybrid Capture Enrichment
Currently, the incidence of infectious diseases has increased globally, and the pathogens show a trend of diversification and complexity. Rapid and accurate pathogenic diagnosis, which enables early selection of sensitive anti-infective drugs or effective and targeted preventive and control measures, is the core of accurate prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. The epidemic of ...

Ticks Increasing on Northern California’s Beaches
If you think wooded or grassy areas are the only places where you need to worry about ticks on the west coast, think again. A four-year study of Lyme disease ticks in California has revealed an unusually high number of ticks on and near beaches. The study focused on several Northern California coastal counties and surveyed around 3,000 Western blacklegged ticks, the ticks responsible for ...

Applications of the High Polymers in Medical Science
Introduction With the wide application of high polymers, more and more extensive researches on high polymers have been conducted in recent years. Many papers and monographs discussed the important characteristics of high polymers and their important applications in medicine. Macromolecule/high polymers can be used in surgery, suture, orthopedic fixation and tissue repair. They can also be used as ...

How treatment of homes for termites decades ago may cause diabetes today
Obesity has been accepted as a risk factor for diabetes but results of four recently published studies have now revealed that insecticides in fat of patients may be the real risk factor. The initial investigations showed that the expected association between obesity and diabetes/insulin resistance was absent in people who had low levels of organochlorine insecticides in their blood (1, 2). ...

Development of mRNA-Directed Delivery - LNP Delivery System
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the success of mRNA vaccines has greatly propelled the development of mRNA therapeutics. mRNA is a negatively charged nucleic acid that serves as a template for protein synthesis in ribosomes. Despite its utility, the instability of mRNA necessitates appropriate carriers for in vivo delivery. Currently, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the most mature approach for ...

The Evolving Role of Percutaneous Deep Venous Arterialization
The increasing incidence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is occurring globally as populations age and rates of diabetes, obesity, and renal disease increase.1-3 Although most of these patients have no symptoms, when the disease progresses to its most advanced form, chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), there is a significant risk for limb loss. Despite the fact that our revascularization ...
