The document discusses integrative approaches for treating inflammation and arthritis. It describes how the immune system can become activated and lead to inflammation through cytokines in response to infections or environmental triggers. Chronic conditions like heart disease and dementia are also linked to inflammation. Exercise and dietary changes are highlighted as important ways to control chronic inflammation by lowering inflammatory markers. Specific anti-inflammatory foods, supplements, and herbs that may help treat rheumatoid arthritis are also outlined.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory and systemic auto immune disease affecting people for the most part
between the ages of 20-25 yrs with accidental course. About 1% of the worlds population is afflicted by rheumatoid
arthritis and is 2-3 times more common in women than men. The rheumatoid arthritis due to the presence of pro
inflammatory markers, cytokines and leukotrines. The primary inflammatory markers are IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-15,
IL-16, IL-17, IL-18, IFN-γ, and the granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor, chemokines such as IL-8,
macrophage inflammatory protein-1 and monocyte chemo attractant protein-1. IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6, B cells therapy all
these blockade are therapeutic target for its treatment. estimate the anti arthritic activity of the plants are used in
different animal models to induced arthritis. Medicinal plants have been used as major sources of pure of human
diseases since time immemorial. Now a days most of the people depends on traditional medicines of the plants. The
medicinal plants derived medicines for the first time of primary health care because of least or no side effects.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

1. Integrative Approach
for Inflammation and Arthritis
Immune system is our defense system and protects us from day to
day threats such as infections and fights against serious cancers.
Unfortunately, in some cases our body is exposed to unwanted
environmental triggers and infections which can activate our
immune system. This activation process can become
uncontrolled if the person has prolonged active infection or has
persistent exposure to culprit agents.
This activated immune
response leads to changes in
our defense cells and the
start producing chemicals
called cytokines, which are
part of the
p a t h o l o g i c i m m u n e
response. These cytokines
lead to unwanted
inflammation and damage
in our body tissues. These
markers of inflammation can
be testes in blood of patients
with autoimmune disorders
such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma. CRP and
ESR are common tests done to identify inflammation in the body.
Over the last decade, extensive research has concluded that
many chronic conditions such as asthma, heart disease and
dementia also have inflammation in the background as
contributor factor for the origin and high activity of these diseases.
Over the last few years it has also become evident that
environmental and nutritional factor play a major role
inflammation and its effects on our genes. Studies have also found
out that there are natural solutions available to slow the
inflammatory process occurring in our body.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common autoimmune arthritis
affecting 1% population. Rheumatoid factor and anti CCP are
antibodies help in confirming diagnosis. Integrative therapy has
very promising role in controlling inflammation seen in
rheumatoid arthritis and similar autoimmune conditions such as
psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and systemic lupus
erythematosis.
Integrative approaches can help us become stronger and keep
inflammation at minimum. Introducing anti-inflammatory
nutrition and healthy lifestyle is the cornerstone for stopping
inflammation. Incorporating nutritional supplements can also help
reduce inflammation and stabilize immune system through
regulation of immune system.
Exercise and dietary changes are now considered the most
important game changers to control chronic inflammation. A study
in England revealed that middle aged men and women who
increased their exercise were able to lower their levels
inflammatory markers, CRP and IL-6. Another study looked at 10
year follow up of more than 4000 men and those with at least 2.5
hours a week of moderate to vigorous exercise routine had
siginificantly lower levels of both CRP and IL-6.
Coffee and smoking: High consumption of coffee is linked to
rheumatoid arthritis. Cessation of tobacco use is been found
helpful in reducing RA disease activity.
The following nutritional agents are found helpful in rheumatoid
arthritis.
Omega 3 FA: There is been an increasing amount of scientific data
supporting use of omega-3 fatty acids obtained from cold-water
fish such as salmon and also sardines. Tree nuts such as walnuts
and almonds are also rich in omega 3 FA, plant source of omega 3
included flaxseeds. Dose is up to 2-3 g a day or GLA 1.5-3 g/day,
Conjugated linoleic acid does 2-3 g daily
Antioxidants: Vitamin E 100 units as mixed tocopherols, Vitamin C
250 mg twice daily, Selenium 400 mcg daily
Botanicals and Herbs: Green tea
extract (EGCG), curcumin (turmeric), quercetin, ginger, white
willow bark, boswellia. Most commonly Ginger dose is 1 g 2-3
times a day, Turmeric 500 mg to 1000 mg 2-3 times daily.
Mineral and Vitamins: Calcium 1000-1200 mg daily, Magnesium
400-750 mg daily, Vitamin D 2000 international units daily.
