This study reviewed the literature on the health effects of cooking with solid fuels in developing countries. It found that solid biomass fuel use is associated with increased risk of respiratory diseases. However, the effectiveness of improved cookstove interventions in reducing health risks is unclear as most studies only measured symptoms rather than objective health outcomes. Future research with reliable exposure biomarkers is still needed to determine the impact of improved cookstoves on health.

Genetic Resistance to Infectious Diseases in the Era of Personalized Medicine by Andrei Alimov in Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease
This document lists 14 selected publications by the author Yang S and their collaborators. The publications cover a range of topics including the roles of various genes and microRNAs in processes like cancer cell growth, pulmonary fibrosis, macrophage polarization, and inflammation. The publications appeared in journals like International Journal of Oncology, Oncology Reports, Journal of Biological Chemistry, and Oncotarget between 1999-2014.
This study examined the relationship between levels of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants measured in serum and biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation in a representative sample of the US population from the NHANES 2003-2004 survey. The study found small but statistically significant positive associations between levels of the PBDE congener BDE-153 and two markers of inflammation, alkaline phosphatase and absolute neutrophil count, suggesting that higher BDE-153 exposure may be linked to increased systemic inflammation. No significant associations were observed between PBDE levels and the oxidative stress biomarkers examined. This study provides further evidence from human studies that certain PBDE congeners may induce inflammatory responses.
Endocrine Disruption of the Neuro-immune InterfaceDES Daughter
The document discusses the neuro-immune interface and how endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can impact the interactions between the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems, especially during development. It provides an example showing that hormone disruption during sensitive prenatal and early postnatal periods can influence brain sex development and adult sexual behavior through effects on immune cells in the brain called microglia. The summary concludes that more research is still needed to understand how EDC exposures may impact development by disrupting the complex interactions between the body's key regulatory systems during critical windows.

This document discusses research on the effects of omalizumab (anti-IgE therapy) treatment in patients with severe persistent asthma over 4 years. It lists 15 publications by the author on outcomes related to omalizumab therapy, including effects on oxidative stress markers, cytokines, quality of life, and side effects. The author has studied how omalizumab impacts factors involved in coagulation, fibrinolysis, angiogenesis and inflammation.
This document discusses how moderate exercise affects natural killer (NK) cells through killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs). It explains that KIRs are receptors on NK cells that can be either activatory or inhibitory, and regulate NK cell cytotoxicity. Moderate exercise increases expression of the KIR2DS2 activatory receptor and KIR2DL3 inhibitory receptor on NK cells. This is mediated by increased levels of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) from exercise, which activates a transcription factor that increases expression of these KIR genes. Upregulating these receptors promotes NK cell immune surveillance and effectiveness, demonstrating how exercise can benefit immune system function.
Through dietary and lifestyle changes, one can potentially slow down the aging process by increasing telomerase activity levels in the body. Telomerase is an enzyme that helps rebuild telomeres, the end caps of chromosomes, and longer telomeres are associated with younger cells. A study found that making improvements in diet, supplements and lifestyle for just 3 months increased telomerase activity levels in men with prostate cancer by 29.84%. Lifestyle factors like managing stress, regular exercise, meditation and following a whole foods diet can help reduce disease risk and extend one's lifespan. Increasing intake of certain foods, herbs and supplements may also help boost telomerase activity levels and slow aging.
This document lists 10 research publications by Nickerson and colleagues related to multiple sclerosis (MS) and the MS relapse experience. The publications include studies analyzing patient-reported outcomes from the North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS) Registry on the impact of MS relapses and treatment experiences. Other publications examine the biological mechanisms and immunological effects of corticosteroids used to treat MS relapses.
Vitamin D in Rheumatoid Arthritis
This document summarizes several studies that examine the relationship between vitamin D levels and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the joints that can lead to disability. Some studies found that RA patients had lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy individuals, and lower vitamin D levels were associated with higher disease activity and reduced remission rates. However, one study found no correlation between vitamin D levels and RA risk. Vitamin D may help regulate the immune system and inhibit inflammatory responses, so maintaining adequate vitamin D levels could potentially help moderate RA symptoms, but more research is still needed to fully understand this relationship.
Three studies showed lower vitamin D levels were associated with higher RA disease activity and recurrence rates. Specifically, one study found the normal vitamin D group had a lower RA recurrence rate compared to the deficient group. Another study found the low vitamin D group had higher disease activity and lower remission rates. A third study found RA patients with severe disease activity had significantly lower vitamin D levels. However, one study found no correlation between vitamin D status and RA development. Overall, while most research links low vitamin D to worse RA outcomes, the evidence is inconclusive, suggesting more research is still needed to fully understand the relationship between vitamin D and RA.
The document lists 33 publications related to the preparation and testing of compounds that modulate cannabinoid receptors and inhibit kynurenine-3-monooxygenase.

1) The study examines the role of bioavailable transition metals in particulate matter in causing cardiopulmonary injury and inflammation in animal models.
2) Tests were conducted using combustion-derived particulate matter samples administered to healthy and compromised rat models. Results showed lung injury was determined by bioavailable metal dose rather than particulate mass.
3) Residual oil fly ash, rich in metals, enhanced mortality and airway responsiveness in rats with pre-existing cardiopulmonary disease, suggesting disease states increase susceptibility to particulate matter through amplified metal-mediated oxidant chemistry in inflamed lungs.
This document summarizes research on genetic and environmental risk factors for multiple sclerosis (MS). It finds that MS is influenced by both hereditary and non-hereditary factors. Major genetic risk factors identified include the HLA-DRB1*1501 locus, the interleukin 7 receptor gene, and the interleukin 2 receptor gene, which together account for about 50% of MS's hereditability. Environmental factors associated with increased risk include Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus 6, low vitamin D levels, and smoking.

1) Oxidative stress activates the transcription factor sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) in vascular endothelial cells. 2) SREBP2 increases expression of microRNA-92a (miR-92a), which targets genes involved in endothelial homeostasis like sirtuin 1, Krüppel-like factor 2, and Krüppel-like factor 4. 3) This leads to activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and reduced nitric oxide bioavailability, exacerbating endothelial dysfunction during oxidative stress.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder. The average incidence is around 10%. The prevalence of the disease is higher in females and ages between 20-50 years. Oxidative stress is an disequilibrium among oxidants and antioxidants. According to many of studies, reactive oxygen species along with decreased antioxidant levels are responsible for rosacea pathogenesis.Rosacea is a long-standing is an inflammatory dermatosis characterized by flare-ups and remissions. Patients apply to the dermatologists with complaints such as telangiectasia, edema, erythema, acneiform eruptions [1,2]. Individuals aged 20-50 years are more commonly affected and the disease is more prevalent in women than in men. The average incidence is around 10% [1,3]. In the previous studies, rosacea is reported to be related to systemic diseases such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, insulin resistance, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases [4-9]. Its etiology is exactly unknown. Factors involved in the inflammatory proceses are also responsible for the pathogenetic factors in the rosacea. Morever, oxidative stress affects both the onset and the progression of rocasea [1-3].

Kelompok lansia dipandang sebagai kelompok masyarakat yang berisiko (population at risk) mengalami gangguan kesehatan. Oleh karenanya, kelompok lansia merupakan kelompok risiko tinggi yang menjadi perhatian utama dalam cabang ilmu keperawatan komunitas. Masalah keperawatan yang menonjol pada kelompok tersebut adalah meningkatnya disabilitas fungsional fisik sebagai dampak dari respon lansia terhadap proses penuaan, penyakit kronis, atau status psikososialnya. Disabilitas fungsional lansia sebagai efek dari perubahan fisiologis (umur depresi dan demensia) memungkinkan untuk dijelaskan melalui Model Sistem Neuman (MSN). Mengingat MSN memiliki banyak interrelasi konsep sehingga derivasi teori konseptual tersebut lebih bersifat kontekstual. Oleh karenanya, peneliti bermaksud agar penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai studi pendahuluan terhadap penelitian-penelitian mengenai disabilitas fungsional yang lebih kompleks. Gigliotti (2003) berpendapat bahwa kredibilitas MSN hanya dapat dikembangkan melalui proses derivasi dan pengujian teori antara (middle-range theory) sebagai derivat dari MSN.

Depression is an insidious issue in the US and elsewhere. Lifestyle habits that are very different from our ancestral environment may be to blame, and one particularly problematic area is food choice. Depressive symptoms share much in common with the adaptive features of sickness behavior, which is functional when operating in an environment of ancestrally normal immune stressor. Modern diets likely activate the immune system (primarily the inflammatory response) and induce the cascade of adaptive responses that collective make up sickness behavior. Due to their similarities, these may then diagnosed as depression. In this talk, I discuss the links among diet, depression, and inflammation, as well as highlighting some specific dietary components that contribute to this response.

Making Beeswax Candles, Polishes & Homemade Cosmetics - Part 1 v2zq
Beeswax has been used for thousands of years for a variety of purposes. In ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and China, beeswax was used for mummification, paintings, seals, candles, and medicine. Throughout history, beeswax was crucial for lost wax casting techniques and was the main ingredient in encaustic painting. While beeswax was once the primary wax, the development of paraffin wax in the 19th century reduced its exclusivity, though it remains the most expensive natural wax. Beeswax is still used today in batik art, sculpture preservation, candle making, wood polishes, and leather treatments.
Making Beeswax Candles, Polishes & Homemade Cosmetics - Part 2 v2zq
Bees produce beeswax from their wax glands to build honeycomb cells. They produce the greatest amount of wax during colony growth in spring under moderate climate conditions. Beeswax is made from carbohydrates in honey through the wax glands on the bee's abdomen. Old honeycomb needs to be recycled and rendered into beeswax blocks to control wax moths and produce high quality wax. There are several methods for small-scale wax production including melting comb in boiling water or using sun melters to extract wax, which is then further purified. Proper processing and equipment are needed to produce quality beeswax and avoid defects from contamination, emulsions or darkening.
Pollen is described as the "perfectly complete food" and its nutritional value and medical uses have been praised for centuries. However, bee-collected pollen only began to be used widely for human nutrition after World War II with the development of pollen traps. Proper drying, storage, and processing are important to preserve pollen's quality and nutrients. Drying should be done at low temperatures, ideally below 30°C, to avoid vitamin losses. Freezing or freeze-drying pollen provides the best preservation of nutrients, though dried pollen can be stored for 1-2 years if kept cool, dry and dark. Standards have been proposed for pollen, including limits on moisture content and minimum levels of proteins

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
