A sleep disorder, sleep apnea is characterized by repeated breathing pauses during sleep. The hypopnea and apnea episodes can last from a few seconds to a minute at a time and can occur many times during a night. Obstructive Sleep apnea happens when the throat muscles relax and the tongue falls back into the throat, partially blocking the airway. That in turn leads to improper breathing as the ...
Serrapeptase, also known as serratiopeptidase, is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the intestines of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. It has gained considerable interest in both the medical and wellness communities for its potential therapeutic benefits, particularly in promoting pain relief, reducing inflammation, and aiding tissue healing. Understanding serrapeptase and its applications can shed ...
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that is characterized with snoring and frequent interruptions in breathing, when asleep. That impacts quality sleep and puts the individual at risk of health issues. Though CPAP therapy is considered gold standard in treating sleep apnea, there are a multitude of vitamins and minerals that can help you get better sleep by addressing factors like muscle relaxation ...
Nanobodies, also known as single-domain antibodies, have gained much attention in recent years due to their potential in various biomedical applications including drug delivery systems. Nanobodies are small antibody fragments derived from naturally occurring heavy-chain antibodies found in camelids, such as camels and llamas. They are composed of a single monomeric variable domain, making them ...
Pulmonary fibrosis, particularly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), represents a significant challenge in healthcare due to its detrimental impact on lung function and limited treatment options. While WNT/β-catenin signaling plays a crucial role in lung development and maintenance of adult lung stem cells, its dysregulation has been associated with pulmonary fibrosis. However, recent ...
The cosmetics and skincare industry is constantly evolving and a recent trend that has emerged is the use of fermented ingredients in skincare products. Fermentation is a microbial metabolic process that has been used for centuries in food and beverage production, and now it has been extended to the cosmetic industry.What are Fermented Raw Materials?Fermented raw materials are natural ingredients ...

Probiotics are living microorganisms that offer numerous health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. These beneficial bacteria can be found in various fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi, as well as in dietary supplements. The term "probiotic" is derived from the Greek words "pro" and "biotic," which mean "for life." Probiotics have gained popularity in recent ...
Recent clinical trials investigating sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have highlighted that this drug is highly effective in treating patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). HFpEF is a complex disease which accounts for more than half of all heart failure (HF) hospital admissions and is an increasing disease burden. [1] The prevalence of HFpEF is ...
In April of this year, prior to the beginning of our International Conference in Toronto, I had the rare opportunity to meet for several hours with Tiina Karu, Mary Dyson, Shimon Rochkind, Chukuka Enwemeka and several other leading authorities involved in the field of laser technology. Whereas their interests encompass basic research, pathology, tissue response mechanisms and clinical ...
Canagliflozin is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is a third-line medication to be tried after metformin, a first-line medication for type 2 diabetes. It is used together with exercise and diet. It is not recommended in type 1 diabetes. Mechanism action of Canagliflozin Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) inhibitor. Glucose filtered in the renal tubular lumen is ...
Cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common reasons for hind limb lameness, pain, and subsequent knee arthritis in dogs. Additionally, according to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, 40-60% of dogs who injure one cruciate ligament will go on to injure the other cruciate ligament in the future. While there are multiple treatment options available, both surgical and non-surgical, ...
Considering Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a painful or numbing condition that affects the hands and fingers. It’s caused by pressure on one main nerves of the hand, the median nerve. The nerve passes through a narrow passageway in the wrist called the “carpal tunnel” (hence the name of the disorder). The pressure causes the nerve to ...
Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-a) is a potent cytokine that is over-expressed by cells during chronic intestinal inflammation. Furthermore, TNF-a represents the most validated clinical target for ulcerative colitis (UC) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) with multiple emerging neutralizing/inflammation-reducing therapeutics targeting this cytokine for inactivation. TNF-a activation of ...
Bromelain is closely related to pineapple. Chemist Vicente Marcano first discovered bromelain in pineapple in 1891, and then another chemist, Russell Henry Chittenden, extracted bromelain from pineapple fruit, which was then called "proteolytic enzyme in pineapple juice". Scientists have found that ripe pineapple stems have higher levels of bromelain. Many tropical fruits, such as papaya, mango, ...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) cause 17 million deaths globally every year, making it the leading cause of death around the world. The cardiovascular system—which includes your heart and blood vessels—distributes oxygen through the body and removes waste. Every cell in the body depends on this process to run smoothly. Your cardiovascular system plays a key role in your overall ...

However, the pain can also be sharp or shooting. And it can be accompanied by tenderness and some swelling. This article describes: What wrist tendonitis pain is all about How to distinguish it from ...
The comedogenic scale is a “measure” of how ingredients found in common skin care products will impact your pores. This scale is particularly useful when looking at products that you will apply to heal dry skin patches on your face. The scale is fairly simple to use and is broken down into a 6-level rating from 0 to 5. Rating of 0 - Does not clog pores. Rating of 1 – Low ...
The maintenance of immune homeostasis involves a synergistic relationship between the host and the microbiome. Canonical interferon (IFN) signaling controls the response to acute microbial infection through the involvement of STAT1 transcription factors. However, the contribution of tonic levels of interferon to immune homeostasis in the absence of acute infection remains largely unexplored. The ...
