Abstract:

Objective: To review the current research and importance of glutathione (GSH) therapy in health and disease and to provide a basic overview of the widespread use and interest in this compound. Data Identification: Articles were obtained via a MEDLINE search of the term glutathione in conjunction with specific disease states mentioned, and via extensive review of references found in articles identified by computer search. Study Selection: Emphasis was placed on the most recent research, human research, and in discussing multiple disease states. Data Extraction: The literature was reviewed for methodology, quality, and practical aspects of interest to clinical pharmacists. Data Synthesis: GSH is a tripeptide of extreme importance as a catalyst, reductant, and reactant. It continues to be investigated in diverse areas such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, toxicology, AIDS, aging, oncology, and liver disease. Despite the widespread clinical interest in GSH, we were not able to identify an in-depth review of this compound in the pharmacy literature. Conclusions: The list of potential indications for modulation of GSH is extensive and broad. This review introduces clinicians to what GSH is, its basic chemistry, and some areas of active research.

Abstract:

In the less developed nations, hygiene and sanitation remain overriding factors in population health and the burden of waterborne disease. Both morbidity and mortality from diseases, such as cholera, remain high, but the overwhelming burden of diarrhoeal diseases inevitably goes undiagnosed. Enterotoxic E. coli, shigellosis and campylobacteriosis are prevalent amongst bacterial diseases and giardiasis is often diagnosed among protozoan diseases. In terms of viral diseases, hepatitis A is frequently associated with water and rotavirus, and more recently norovirus, infections are suspected to be major causes of gastroenteritis, although they are seldom diagnosed. From the perspective of research and training, and despite the efforts of major international organizations, effective programs that teach basic hygiene and sanitation remain elusive.

Abstract:

Health scales or indices are composite tools aiming to measure a variety of clinical conditions, behaviors, attitudes and beliefs that are difficult to be measured quantitatively. During the past years, these tools have been extensively used in cardiovascular disease prevention. The already proposed scales have shown good ability in assessing individual characteristics, but had moderate predictive ability in relation to the development of chronic diseases and various other health outcomes. In this review, methodological issues for the development of health scales are discussed. Specifically, the selection of the appropriate number of components, the selection of classes for each component, the use of weights of scale components and the role of intra- or inter-correlation between components are discussed. Based on the current literature the use of components with large number of classes, as well as the use of specific weights for each scale component and the low-to-moderate inter-correlation rate between the components, is suggested in order to increase the diagnostic accuracy of the tool.

Abstract:

Abstract The lecture will try to give some hints on the need for a global health, mainly from the point of view of African countries. Although Global health is acknowledged as one single health, it is not sufficiently defended, nor is sufficiently implied in public reasoning, let alone in political decisions. “This notion of global health corresponds to the realization that any health event occurring on the other side of the world now concerns everyone” (An interview of Dominique Kerouedan, in « Sciences au Sud », N°68, January, February, March, 2013). It refers more generally to “prevention, vaccination, access to water, sanitation, hygiene education, family planning, primary care, reducing the shortage of caregivers, access to medicines, availability of health information” (Idem). “Global” is not just a spatial concept, signifying the transition from epidemic to pandemic. The concept of "global health" conceals heterogeneous realities. Three factors are involved: 1) the disease, 2) the social perception to which it gives rise, and 3) the medical response (treatment, vaccination, etc.). Didier Fassin suggests we speak of “interconnection” rather than “extension” (Médecine/sciences, Med Sci (Paris), Volume 31, Number 5, May 2015). It is difficult to separate global health from health inequalities and inequalities of access to prevention. In Africa, there’s a lack of strategy for early detection of chronic diseases such as infectious diseases, as well as a lack of studies of incidence and prevalence country by country. We cannot neglect parasitic diseases and chronic non-communicable diseases, notably diabetes and cancer and being focused only on infectious diseases that lead to epidemics.

Abstract:

Metalloproteinases (MPs) belong to the superfamily of zinc endopeptidases, which are called metzincins. Three families of MPs have been studied in healthy and diseased conditions in humans. The first study on MPs was published in 1962, and following that, several studies characterized their activity and their effect on health and disease. Several diseases have been related to MPs, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammatory diseases, gynecological disorders, and others. Moreover, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have been widely studied, and drugs and artificial molecules that could target MP activity have been evaluated. MPs are relevant to public health because of their role in several diseases and, most of all, their role as biomarkers that also impact the quality of life and the psychosocial dimension of affected patients. In this context, new pathways to precision health and precision medicine have been opened in the area of MPs. This review describes, from the initial studies, the complex dimensions of MPs and related issues centered on health and disease dimensions.

Abstract:

Abstract. Increasing demands on ecosystems, decreasing biodiversity, and climate change are among the most pressing environmental issues of our time. As changing weather conditions are leading to increased vector-borne diseases and heat- and flood-related deaths, it is entering collective consciousness: environmental issues are human health issues. In public health, the field addressing these issues is known as environmental health. This field addresses both the effects people have on their environment as well as the effects of the environment on people. Psychology, as a discipline concerned with explaining, predicting, and changing behavior has much to contribute to these issues because human behavior is key in promoting environmental health. To date, however, an integrative view of environmental health in psychology is lacking, hampering urgently needed progress. In this paper, we review how the environment and human health are intertwined, and that much can be gained through a systemic view of environmental health in psychology. Based on a review of the literature, we suggest that psychologists unite efforts to promote an integrative science and practice of environmental health psychology, and jointly address environmental-health related behavior. The research agenda for this field will include integrating behavior change theory and intervention approaches. Thereby, psychology can potentially make an important contribution to sustained environmental health for generations to come.

Abstract:

Infectious diseases, as COVID-19 is proving, pose a global health threat in an interconnected world. In the last 20 years, resistant infectious diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), H1N1 influenza (swine flu), Ebola virus, Zika virus, and now COVID-19 have been impacting global health defences, and aggressively flourishing with the rise of global travel, urbanization, climate change, and ecological degradation. In parallel, this extraordinary episode in global human health highlights the potential for artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled disease surveillance to collect and analyse vast amounts of unstructured and real-time data to inform epidemiological and public health emergency responses. The uses of AI in these dynamic environments are increasingly complex, challenging the potential for human autonomous decisions. In this context, our study of qualitative perspectives will consider a responsible AI framework to explore its potential application to disease surveillance in a global health context. Thus far, there is a gap in the literature in considering these multiple and interconnected levels of disease surveillance and emergency health management through the lens of a responsible AI framework.

Abstract:

The health sector in Pakistan is riddled with numerous problems, constraints and contradictions. There is the problem of a lack of health facilities in rural areas, of unemployed doctors despite the acute shortage of trained medical personnel in the country, of 'brain drain' of medical graduates, of the inability of medical graduates to work in simple rural settings and their dependence on “sophisticated” technology of pharmaceutical companies enriching themselves at the expense of the common man, and of a lack of potable water and adequate sewerage in slums and rural areas. The list can be expanded but the stark fact is that most of the people have little or no access to adequate health facilities and are faced with a high incidence of disease.

Abstract:

Global health security has become a major concern, particularly the threats to human and animal health from the emergence and re-emergence of epidemic-prone infectious diseases, as well as the significant and growing impact of these outbreaks on national and international economies. It has long been known that many of these diseases can cross the species barrier between humans, wildlife and domestic animals, and indeed over 70% of novel emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, that is, have their origins in animal reservoirs. There have been many recent examples of this trend, the most dramatic being recently the SARS epidemic ? the first major threat to global health from a novel zoonotic disease in the new Millennium. Other recent examples include the H1N1 influenza virus pandemic; the spread of Nipah virus into Bangladesh and India; and perhaps the most important of all, the ongoing concerns of a highly virulent influenza pandemic due to avian influenza virus (H5N1).

Abstract:

Vaccination is one of the most successful and economically effective measures of the prevention of infectious diseases among all other measures which exist nowadays. The decrease of the level of community immunity leads to the risk of the recurrent disease progressing in adults and teenagers and also the deterioration of epidemiological situation. The issues of the control of infectious diseases among health care professionals have recently become significant. The purpose of the study is to investigate the level of vaccination rate of recipients of the first (Bachelor degree) of higher education in specialty 223 «Nursing», who work in medical institutions and to analyze legal framework of immune prevention of health professionals. Materials and methods. With the help of Google-platform, we conducted a survey among recipients of higher education, who follow online higher education at Educational and Scientific Medical Institute of Poltava State Medical University, who were divided into two groups. Results. All recipients of both two groups received Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine. Recipients of higher education of the 1st group also were vaccinated against hepatitis B virus. Among recipients of the 2nd group this index is high and is 75%. All 12 recipients of higher education of the 2nd group were vaccinated against poliomyelitis and measles, against diphtheria – 11 respondents, 10 and 9 correspondingly against tetanus and rubella. Among 6 responders of the 1st group against measles, rubella, diphtheria and tetanus 4 recipients of higher education were vaccinated, and 5 ones – against poliomyelitis. Members of the 2nd group by 2.5 times are more often vaccinated against seasonal grippe that proves the high level of responsibility for both their health and patients’. All members of the survey confirmed positive attitude to the vaccination. The article has been concerned with the analysis of World Health Organization recommendations, Center for Disease Control and orders of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine about vaccination of medical professionals. Conclusion. Therefore, among respondents, who work in medical institutions, there is enough high level of vaccination rate. Immunological prevention of health care workers is topical one, because they are in the risk group of the vaccination. Considering peculiarities of profession, contact with patients and potentially sick people, health professionals must be vaccinated and be the source of accurate information for patients

Abstract:

Jails are often referred to as “reservoirs of disease” and presented as the origin of infectious diseases or for the development of chronic diseases. The present article argues that the data behind this metaphor are generally taken from nonrepresentative studies by analyzing non-TB-focused studies of jail inmate health issues published in both health and criminal-justice-related journals. Issues such as the use of extremely large jail systems, geographic location, diseases studied, and the lack of attention to jail processes are examined. The article explores the “length of stay” variable from booking to release known as “flow” and how the flow of detainees through jails over time affects who is left for data collection. Data on releases from a large Florida urban jail system for a 1-year period are analyzed to determine the impact of factors associated with release decisions. These, in turn, are related to the representativeness and generalizability of the observed data in previous research and analyzed in terms of potential bias for our understanding of the relationship between jail populations and community health. Issues of health-focused practice standards and recommendations issued without reference to “flow” factors are discussed. Finally, suggestions how criminologists and criminal justice researchers can inform the research on health among jail inmates are canvassed.

Abstract:

The goal of "Swastha Bharat," or a healthy India, is to help every Indian realise his or her dream of living in an incredible India. Article 21 of the Constitution of India guarantees every citizen the right to health care. Health, as defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO), is not only the absence of disease but rather the whole mental, physical, and social flourishing of a person. New computer technologies have had a profound impact on the health industry, driving the generation of more medical data and spawning new subdisciplines of study. In order to make Swastha Bharat (Healthy India) a reality, this article discusses the crucial computing and analytical capabilities of Big Data in handling massive amounts of transactional information in real time. A universally applicable system is proposed. Keywords: Big Data Analytics, Swastha Bharat, Big Data Challenges, e-Health Care, Health Predictive Analysis, Health care in India.

Abstract:

Keeping cells in a state of balance and optimal function requires proper cellular waste management. Autophagy and the (ubiquitin-proteasome system) UPS, two well-established routes, have been the subject of substantial research. A growing body of evidence suggests that alternate cellular disposal pathways may play a role in several health problems. This review delves into the inner workings of these alternate routes and how they relate to health and illness. Microautophagy, chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), and production of extracellular vesicles (EVs) are our main areas of interest. Our discussion centres on their role in neurodegenerative illnesses, cancer, and metabolic disorders, with an emphasis on possible treatments for these conditions. Novel insights into disease causes and possible treatments can be gained by understanding these pathways. Microautophagy entails direct lysosomal engulfment of cellular material, CMA selectively targets cytosolic proteins for lysosomal degradation, while EV secretion controls waste by exporting it out of the cell. Dysfunction in these pathways can result in pathological diseases, as they are essential for cellular integrity maintenance. This study highlights the significance of potential alternative disposal systems in cellular health and disease management by outlining their functions in different diseases and investigating new treatments that aim to block these pathways.

Abstract:

SUMMARY Xenotransplantation, the transplantation of living organs, tissues, or cells from one species to another, is viewed as a potential solution to the existing shortage of human organs for transplantation. While whole-organ xenotransplantation is still in the preclinical stage, cellular xenotransplantation and extracorporeal perfusion applications are showing promise in early clinical trials. Advances in immunosuppressive therapy, gene engineering, and cloning of animals bring a broader array of xenotransplantation protocols closer to clinical trials. Despite several potential advantages over allotransplantation, xenotransplantation encompasses a number of problems. Immunologic rejection remains the primary hindrance. The potential to introduce infections across species barriers, another major concern, is the main focus of this review. Nonhuman primates are unlikely to be a main source for xenotransplantation products despite their phylogenetic proximity to humans. Genetically engineered pigs, bred under special conditions, are currently envisaged as the major source. Thus far, there has been no evidence for human infections caused by pig xenotransplantation products. However, the existence of xenotropic endogenous retroviruses and the clinical evidence of long-lasting porcine cell microchimerism indicate the potential for xenogeneic infections. Thus, further trials should continue under regulatory oversight, with close clinical and laboratory monitoring for potential xenogeneic infections.

Abstract:

The World Health Organisation defined â€œHealth as a state of complete physical, mental and social being and not merely absence of the disease or infirmityâ€. It is very vital for the growth, development and productivity of a society. There is no health without mental health as it is the integral and essential component of health. Mental disorders are known to be caused by a complex interaction of biological, social, environmental, cultural and economic factors. A close association between mental disorders and several other morbid conditions or diseases was shown by different studies. For example, depression and cancer are known to coexist, while anxiety disorders are linked to the occurrence of cardiovascular disorders. Non-recognition of associated mental health problems often leads to delayed recognition and recovery. Mental disorders are gradually on increase in recent times. This is probably due to industrialisation, rapid urbanization, globalization, changing lifestyles, acculturation, improved recognition, and biological vulnerabilities. Consequently, depression, anxiety, alcohol use, suicidal behaviours, drug use, sleep disorders and several others are on the increase. It is estimated that 6-7% of population suffers from Mental and behavioural disorder. Together these disorders account for 12% of the global burden of disease and an analysis trends indicates this will increase by 15% by 2020. As per Global Burden of Disease report, mental disorders accounts for 13% of total DALYs lost for Years Lived with Disability (YLD) with depression being the leading cause.Depression, alcohol use disorders, schizophrenia and bipolar disorders constitute the top 10 conditions contributing to the global burden of disease among the age group of 15-44 years. Mental and behavioral disorders are present, in about 10% of the adult population, at any given point of time. Mental health is now recognised as a critical requirement and is engaging the attention of policy-makers, professionals and communities in India and across the globe. Recognizing the importance, severity and consequences World Health Organization (WHO) observed this year on the most important mental health disorder-â€œDepression which affects people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all countries. The risk of becoming depressed is increased by poverty, unemployment, life events such as the death of a loved one or a relationship break-up, physical illness and problems caused by alcohol and drug use. Untreated depression can prevent people from working and participating in family and community life.

Abstract:

This review article is built on the beneficial effects of Lactobacillus against different diseases, and a special focus has been made on its effects against neurological disorders, such as depression, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. Probiotics are live microbes, which are found in fermented foods, beverages, and cultured milk and, when administered in an adequate dose, confer health benefits to the host. They are known as “health-friendly bacteria”, normally residing in the human gut and involved in maintaining homeostatic conditions. Imbalance in gut microbiota results in the pathophysiology of several diseases entailing the GIT tract, skin, immune system, inflammation, and gut–brain axis. Recently, the use of probiotics has gained tremendous interest, because of their profound effects on the management of these disease conditions. Recent findings suggest that probiotics enrichment in different human and mouse disease models showed promising beneficial effects and results in the amelioration of disease symptoms. Thus, this review focuses on the current probiotics-based products, different disease models, variable markers measured during trials, and evidence obtained from past studies on the use of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of different diseases, covering the skin to the central nervous system diseases.

Abstract:Industrializations are the major source of environmental pollution. The waste discharge from several industries can create an immense impact on water bodies which can disrupt the balance of several parameters of it. Too much accumulation of heavy metals through waste water can hamper human health as well as food chain. Thus several diseases take place in daily life because of accumulation of several heavy metals. These can accelerate generation of generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which is the ultimatum of age related disease like Parkinson disease, Alzheimer’s disease etc. This accumulation is not only limited to ROS production it has the ability to hamper immune system abruptly. To get rid of these bioremediation can be an alternative and efficient way. With the help of several micro-organismsit can dispose these heavy metals. This review focuses on several heavy metal related diseases as well as bioremediation processes by microorganisms. It includes the list of algae and fungi which is participating in bioremediation and which kind of metals they are able to remove.

Abstract:

A close examination of a healing tradition's assumptions about reality (metaphysics), ways of acquiring knowledge (epistemology), and systems of beliefs and values (ideology) are a powerful focus for a more general attempt to study culture (Beinfield and Koragold, 1991). The intention of this paper is not to offer a comprehensive view of any particular healing tradition. In the few pages that follow, it would be impossible to adequately describe even a single healing tradition. Rather, generalizations concerning the metaphysics, epistemology, and ideology of Western and non-Western healing traditions are used to suggest how healing traditions might be related to broader cultural contexts. Healing traditions outside of allopathic medicine are here referred to by the term "non-Western." This is not meant to suggest a "them vs. us" mentality. If anything it suggests a nonspiritual vs. spiritual dichotomy. Questions raised when different healing traditions encounter each other and sometimes conflict are powerful teaching tools. The hope is that these questions and generalizations might provide the beginning framework by which a student studying abroad could approach culture through issues of health and disease.

Abstract:

The commonality in periodontitis with diverse inflammatory diseases is the silent emergence of pathology within the affected organ suggestive of a continual lowgrade chronic inflammation. The systemic circulation appears to be the conduit that disseminates inflammatory effectors from a given site to distant organs. Although definitive evidence remains tantalisingly out of reach, the inflammatory link between periodontitis and diseases such as atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease, involving cellular and humoral components of the innate immune response, is highly plausible.

Abstract:

In South-East Asia the main public health issues are infectious diseases and communicable diseases. Public health has improved markedly in Bangladesh over the past three decades. Nevertheless, Bangladesh faces major health challenges. A scoping study was performed according to York methodology. The study was aimed to find out the major public health issues and challenges in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has one of the worst burdens of childhood malnutrition in the world. Communicable diseases are a major cause of death and disability in Bangladesh. Unsafe food remains a major threat to public health each year, citizens suffer from the acute effects of food contaminated by microbial pathogens, chemical substances and toxins. Bangladesh still ranks among the top ten countries in the world with the highest TB burden. Pneumonia and other infections are major causes of death among young children. In Bangladesh only 1% of the population is reported to be HIV-positive, but rates are much higher among high-risk populations: injecting drug users, sex workers, and men who have sex with men. The toll of non-communicable diseases chronic diseases, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic respiratory diseases is increasing in Bangladesh as the population becomes more urbanized. The converging pressures of global climate change and urbanization have a devastating effect on Bangladeshs most vulnerable populations. The disease burden Bangladesh is further exacerbated by unsanitary living conditions that underscore the poor economic conditions of both urban and rural home dwellers. There are still several issues that Bangladesh health care system is yet to tackle, governance, accessibility, and affordability are key issues that are preventing the implementation of solutions to the public health issues in Bangladesh.South East Asia Journal of Public Health Vol.6(2) 2016: 11-16

Abstract:

Abstract The authors describe a case of a rare infectious disease of intra-articular tissues of the temporomandibular joint caused mainly by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In scientific literature, under the heading invasive (malignant) external otitis, we can find cases of an infectious disease of the external acoustic meatus caused by a microbial agent of Pseudomonas aeruginosa which can subsequently penetrate into structures. However, a primary affliction of the abovementioned structures has not been described. Localisation and severity of the infection requires long-term and massive treatment with antibiotics.

Abstract:

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes two idiopathic syndromes, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. In ulcerative colitis, inflammation is limited to the colonic mucosa and submucosa. Crohn's disease may, however, involve the small intestine, all bowel wall layers, and the upper gastrointestinal tract. Because health-related quality of life is significantly impaired during active disease, pharmaceutical care. is important in patient management. Traditional therapy includes 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, and antimicrobial therapy. In steroid-resistant active disease, immunosuppressants (cyclosporine, azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate) have a role but possess significant toxicity profiles. Current research focuses on the role of inflammatory mediators in IBD. Investigational therapies include monoclonal antibodies to proinflammatory cytokines, inhibitory cytokines, and anti-CD4 monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract:

Historically, the specialty of urology has focussed on single-system diseases. In recent years, however, there has been increasing recognition of the interconnectivity between the various systems, such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, erectile dysfunction, and prostate cancer. This constellation of disease/syndrome and dysfunction may place urologists at the centre of men’s overall health concerns. As urologists consider taking on a leadership role in men’s health, they should also consider their potential in helping men suffering from the significant burden of mental health disorder. Urologists may have a unique opportunity to identify mental health issues in their male patients, influence healthy behaviour change, and successfully refer men, who might otherwise not seek help, to appropriate medical/psychological care.

Abstract:

Homoeopathy is a system of medicine based on the law of similars “let like be cured by like”. This means that any substance with the capacity of producing disease in its crude state has the capacity to treat a similar disease if taken in a very small dose. Homeopathic Nosodes are homoeopathic remedies sourced from diseased materials and organisms. Homoeopathic nosodes may be used to treat and prevent infectious and non-infectious diseases. The incidence of infectious diseases epidemics is now occurring more often around the world. The common public threat includes the emergence of antibiotic resistance which is increasing globally. Contributing factors of this emergence are linked to underlying biological, and environmental issues, lifestyle changes, misuse, and overprescribing of antibiotics. Despite strengthening health infrastructure, every epidemic and multi-drug resistance bacterium poses a challenge to the government, policymakers, health professionals, and the whole population. This article will review data available on homoeopathic nosodes, as well as present evidence that is available to support the use of homoeopathic nosodes in disease prevention and treatment. It also highlights several clinical trials and in vitro studies on the use of homoeopathy to target health issues that have the potential to harm public health and possibly assist in reducing healthcare costs.
