For centuries, our caveman ancestors scavenged off the land for food resources, but today people are challenging their way of eating. Critics say that it is not ethical for people to eat that way anymore, and that there is no need for it. They believe our digestive tract is able to handle the modern processed and genetically modified foods that we are introduced to daily. That is far from the truth and there are also a plethora of benefits that have yet to be discussed amongst educated…

or cause hyperalgesia with non-noxious stimuli (Fishman et al., p. 31). Inflammatory mediators and sensitization factors include bradykinin, leukotrienes, prostaglandin E2, nerve growth factor, serotonin (5HT), tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukins. Once sensitivity occurs, changes in neuronal structure (plasticity) will alter the threshold and response of the receptor. Ion channel expression and synaptic modulators will increase sensitivity to nociceptive stimulus. These changes, if…

Exploration of the Pathogenicity and Treatment of Plaque Psoriasis and Avoiding Comorbidity Plaque psoriasis, otherwise known as psoriasis vulgaris, is a chronic inflammatory disease mainly affecting the skin, nails, scalp and joints (Sidhom, E., Pilmane, M., & Kisis, J., 2016). Psoriasis affects approximately two percent of men and women worldwide, mainly between the ages of fifteen and thirty, and occurs in varying degrees of severity. Clinical manifestations are raised, red lesions with a…

Kaposi Sarcoma Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a tumor of endothelial cell origin commonly found in the Mediterranean, Jewish, Arabic and African populations. In patients on immunosuppression, human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection is reactivated in endothelial cells and conversion to spindle cells occurs.PMID: 16904612, PMID:17456614, PMID 15021843 The incidence of KS is markedly increased in patients with SOTRs (between 84 and 500 times more common) compared with the immune-competent…

are crucial in the prevention of disease in the immune system. More specifically, they target T-helper cells, which are a type of lymphocyte. The T-helper cells act to produce and release cytokines, which stimulate various immune responses e.g. interleukins trigger B lymphocytes to differentiate into plasma cells which produce antibodies that are crucial in fighting disease. When the numbers of these T-helper cells fall below that needed to successfully destroy pathogens, the ability of the…

Introduction Sold commercially under the tradename Sevin, carbaryl (C12H11NO2) is an insecticide that is commonly applied to corn, soybean, and cotton (EPA, 2000). It is a cholinesterase inhibitor that kills insects by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. Neurons are stimulated when they release acetylcholine and transmit a message to the next neuron (Waymire, n.d.). However, in order for a neuron to return to its initial, unstimulated state, the acetylcholine in its…

Protein Study Intervention: Methods and Investigation Process Steps The following are the study process steps including study enrollment procedures, study methods and evaluation plan. Study Enrollment Procedures for participants and staff: 1. Selection of Staff Members and Recruitment: Staff Members will be recruited from a local Hospital System. A Geriatricians and Therapist will be recruited for the baseline and follow-up measurements. The therapist must be familiar with geriatric patients.…

joints, which can cause severe damage that lead to cartilage destruction and bone erosion, and eventually to the loss of joint functions [1, 2]. The synovial fluid and the serum of RA patients contain high levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) [3, 4]. The high levels of TNF-α are produced mainly by macrophages and can induce cartilage degradation and induce antigen-presenting cells triggers TH17 activation in rheumatoid…

Further evidence for the in-vivo anti-inflammatory activity of Nasturtium officinale Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Aerial parts of Nasturtium officinale R. Br. are used traditionally in Iran as a folk medicine in different illnesses which include bronchitis, asthma, diabetes, hypertension, and renal colic. Aim of the study: In the present study, the anti-inflammatory activity of hydro-alcoholic extract from aerial parts of N. officinale was investigated in acute and sub¬¬-acute…

For instance, cytokines, which have proinflammatory roles in peripheral organs, exhibit essential roles in regulating the synaptic plasticity and activity within the CNS (7-9), such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) (10). Besides, although activation of the complement system and release of its components is well-known to trigger inflammatory response in many body organs, including the brain itself, experimental evidence reveals a potential role of…
