Bee venom and propolis effective in treating psoriasisBee Healthy Farms
Apitherapy entails the medical use of honey bee products as bee venom and propolis. The objective of this study is to evaluate bee venom and propolis as a new therapeutic modality for localized plaque psoriasis.
Apitherapy is an alternative medicine practice that uses bee products like honey, royal jelly, propolis, and bee venom. It has been used since ancient times in traditional Chinese, Korean, Russian, Egyptian and Greek medicine. While honey may help with wound healing, evidence is limited. Bee venom therapy can cause frequent adverse reactions. Overall, the evidence for health claims of apitherapy is low quality.
Bee venom therapy is a type of apitherapy that uses bee venom to treat various medical conditions. Bee venom contains over 40 biologically active compounds including melittin, apamin, and phospholipase A. It is applied through live bee stings and is believed to stimulate the immune system and increase cortisol production. Bee venom therapy may help treat conditions like arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and skin diseases. Potential side effects include allergic reactions, abdominal cramps, and anaphylaxis. Further research is still needed but preliminary studies suggest bee venom has anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties.

In January 2003, the veterinary specialists below met during the North American Veterinary
Conference in Orlando, Florida, to discuss emerging flea-borne diseases, some strategies for preventing
infestations, and ways to improve owner compliance with appropriate therapy. The following are
excerpts from this roundtable discussion.
Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections like the common cold because antibiotics only work on bacterial infections, not viruses. While overuse of antibiotics can lead to increased healthcare costs and antibiotic resistance, taking antibiotics for a viral cold provides no benefit as most colds are caused by viruses. The best approach is to rest and allow the body to fight off the viral infection on its own.
Introductory Q & A format about addiction, based on the informative pamphlet accompanying HBO and the NIDA, NIAAA documentary entitled, "Addiction; Why Can't They Just Stop?'
This document is a newsletter from the founder's desk discussing the COVID-19 pandemic and homeopathy.
It provides statistics on global and Indian COVID-19 cases and deaths. It notes India's situation is better than many countries due to timely government measures. However, constant news and social media updates are creating unnecessary fear.
It discusses the negative health impacts of chronic fear and the need to focus on immunity. It shares a story about how the God of Death took more lives due to people's fear.
The newsletter provides an obituary for a former colleague and discusses homeopathy and World Homeopathy Day. It summarizes the principles and significance of homeopathy, including its holistic and inexpensive nature.
The document discusses ancient Egyptian medicine and society. It explains that Egyptian society was organized around the Nile River, with a hierarchy led by pharaohs and priests. Egyptian religion heavily influenced medicine, with each god responsible for different illnesses and treatments. Doctors derived their power from the god Thoth and treated illnesses using herbs, minerals, and following texts exactly to cure or determine cause. While some treatments were effective, religion and superstition often attributed illness to evil spirits.
This document proposes redefining preventative care to focus on constantly improving basic health measures for all individuals, regardless of current health status. It notes that the US currently spends over $2 trillion annually on healthcare, with two-thirds going towards treating chronic conditions for 45% of the population. While 65% have no chronic conditions currently, focusing only on these "healthy" individuals misses an opportunity to reduce costs. The document advocates continuously addressing the top causes of chronic illness - diet, exercise, alcohol, smoking, nutrition and lack of exercise - for all. This could improve outcomes and reduce unnecessary future healthcare spending, even for those with existing conditions. It proposes regularly monitoring and prescribing basic health measures like sleep, water intake, exercise and
Homeopathy for Epidemics and Homeopathic Remedies for First AidSharumSharif
This document discusses homeopathy for treating epidemics and provides homeopathic first aid remedies. It begins by explaining why epidemics should be prepared for as they will continue to challenge humanity. It defines important terms like endemic, epidemic, pandemic, genus epidemicus, and homeoprophylaxis. The document notes that epidemics can be difficult to diagnose due to overlapping symptoms but that homeopathy provides effective prevention and treatment alternatives. It highlights advantages of homeopathy for epidemics over vaccines and conventional treatments. Homeopathy is discussed as a practical option for governments to combat infectious diseases through large-scale interventions.
The document discusses upper respiratory infections (URI) and provides context and evidence around appropriate treatment. It notes that URIs are generally self-limiting and antibiotics are ineffective. Better options for symptom relief include acetaminophen, NSAIDs, decongestants, antihistamines, and zinc. The document cautions against overprescribing antibiotics due to risks of increased resistance. Overall it advocates for an evidence-based approach to URI treatment through open discussion with patients.
Health involves mental, social, and physical well-being, with illnesses affecting body organs. There are two types of illnesses - infectious diseases caused by microorganisms like measles and flu, and non-infectious diseases like obesity not caused by microorganisms. Health professionals like general practitioners and specialists can help treat illnesses and maintain health.

Common names and effects of various depressants are outlined.
This document discusses health, diseases, and disease prevention. It defines health as being well and explains that an individual's health depends on their surroundings and environment. It defines disease as an illness that affects the body or mind. Diseases are classified as infectious, caused by microbes, or non-infectious, arising from genetic or internal factors. Infectious diseases can spread through air, water, or sexual contact. Treatment aims to reduce symptoms or kill the cause. Disease prevention includes practices like vaccination, screening, and treatment to avoid progression or complications.
The document provides information about different types of medicines, including over-the-counter and prescription medicines. It discusses the similarities and differences between over-the-counter and prescription medicines, and provides examples of common types of each. It also includes activities for students to complete in groups, such as sorting medicines into categories, matching medicine types to their uses, reading about health issues and identifying potential treatments, and creating a Venn diagram comparing over-the-counter and prescription medicines.
This document discusses alternative systems of medicine for mental health, focusing on herbal remedies and Siddha medicine from India. It defines alternative medicine as practices outside conventional medicine that promote health and well-being. Herbal remedies discussed for mental health conditions include sage and passion flower. Sage may help with concentration, memory, depression and anxiety, while passion flower is used to treat anxiety. Siddha medicine views abnormal behavior as caused by karma and treats conditions with medicines like vedivuppu and rasam as well as psychotherapy through manthiram chanting.
This document provides an overview of vaccination from a naturopathic perspective. It discusses the history of vaccination including early forms of inoculation in Ayurveda and the development of the smallpox vaccine. It describes different types of vaccines such as live attenuated, killed, toxoids, and combination vaccines.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

and
Awareness
s Consult their physician before taking other medication, including
OTCs
s Good hygiene
s Antiviral drugs are not cures but help manage
symptoms
