Respiratory Disease

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions, affecting the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, Obstructive lung diseases, Restrictive lung diseases, Respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and muscles breathing, etc,.

Upper respiratory tract infection

Upper respiratory tract infections are considered to be the infection of the airway above the glottis or vocal cords. This includes the nose, sinuses, pharynx, and larynx, including the infection of tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, otitis media, etc,.

The Prevention - The do and do not’s list

1. Wash your hand thoroughly with soap and water 15-20 seconds can help to reduce the risk of catching common cold and influenza. Use alcohol-based hand gels if washing is not possible.
2. Cover sneeze and coughing and prevent hand-to-hand passage.
3. Enhance your immune function to protect your body against invasion of foreign invasion, including bacteria and virus.
4. Traditional Mediterranean diet
Eating plenty of fruit, vegetables and fish keep lungs healthy. Those who follow a diet closest to this ” Mediterranean ” ideal are less likely as their peers with eating habits furthest from this pattern to develop chronic lung disease. A good amount of fresh vegetable juices are a good way to start healing, along with adding a variety of spices such as ginger, onions, and garlic. The emphasis should be on eating as healthy a diet as possible(22).
5. Eat your fruit and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables not only are very nutritional but also contains high amount of antioxidants which can combat against bacteria and virus invasion.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

Types of Musculo-Skeletal disorders in elder(2)
1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis
6. Osteoporosis
7. Low back pain
8. Fibromyalgia

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).

The Treatment

B. Treatment in herbal and traditional Chinese medicine
B.8. Herbal and Traditional Chinese medicine
Many herbal medicine have been found effectively for reduction of symptoms and treatment for patient with osteoarthritis(340), including
B.8.1. Individual herb3. Willow bark
A herbal medicine used over thousands of years for treatment as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic advocate in many culture(433, 350) and may be a potential agent for inhibition of pro inflammatory cytokines(351)(352) due to its phytochemical polyphenols(351).
Unfortunately, according to randomized double-blind controlled trials, willow bark extract showed no relevant efficacy in patients with OA and with RA(353).
In support to above, study conducted by the Columbia University showed that ethanolic extracts from willow bark with daily doses up to 240 mg salicin over periods of up to six weeks exhibits no significant improvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(354).

Imaging of long term intake of delicious smoothies loved by many with the power of reduced risk and treatment of chronic illness with no one mentions about. In fact, it happens. Epidemiological studies with strong evidences suggested that blueberry oral administration hold a potential with therapeutic values for reduced risk of women who carry the mutation gene and treatment of breast cancer(*).

The curable smoothies are collection of recipes produced from natural sources, including organic fruits and vegetables, and some herbs which have been proven effectively for reduced risk and treatment for diseases and syndromes by scientific research of clinical trials and/or studies.

The finding of foods from natural sources has been a dream of scientists and scholars since ancient time. Socrates Said," Let foods be your medicine and let medicine be your foods". Let all of us all exercise the values of the past wisdom to build a letter living and living health while enjoining these delicious drinks.

The smoothie for Prevention and treatment of Danubian endemic nephropathy

Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1 1/2 cups grape
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams(2 tea bags) of green tea, a slice of ginger and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and set aside for cooling to room temperature)

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

Recent studies by some renowned institutions suggested that green tea(1) and grape may be the next generation of ingredient extracted from natural sources for reduced risk and treatment of Danubian endemic nephropathy.

Balkan endemic nephropathy is a form of progression kidney damage induced kidney failure, affecting people only in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria. According to the pubication by Richmond County Medical Society " Balkan endemic nephropathy is rare, chronic kidney disease"(*) of that may share some characteristics of normal chronic kidney disease in induction of kidney failure.

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Chronic Kidney disease in Danubian endemic nephropathy

Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)

1/2 cup olive

1 cup cooked sweet potato

1 cup organic grape juice

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute

2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.

3. Serve immediately

The finding of a natural source for treatment of Chronic Kidney disease in Danubian endemic nephropathy has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Recent studies back by well known institutions proposed, Cooked Sweet Potato, Olive and Grape Juice may be the next generation of natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of Chronic Kidney disease in patients with Danubian endemic nephropathy

Chronic Kidney Diseases(CKD) is a progressive loss of kidney function over period longer than 3 months through different stages, deepening to the GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate). According to the Tri-Service General Hospital, Excessive oxidative stress increased oxidative nucleicacid damage and exagerated the development of complication of Chronic Kidney Diseases(1).

The Anti-Odxidant Therapy in Chronic Renal Insufficiency (ATIC) study suggested, combination of pravastatin, vitamin E, and homocysteine treatment in 18 months together with hypertension controlled effectively attenuated expression of Chronic Kidney Diseases(CKD) through reduced oxidative stress against renal function(2).Vitamin E-coated membranes (VECMs) consist of a multilayer membrane with liposoluble vitamin E, used in dialysis significantly improved Hb levels and lower rHuEpo requirements in chronic HD patients(3).Dr. Rashid Khan M and colleagues insisted, vitamin E significantly reduced dyslipidemia and inhibited the development of CRD caused by atherogenic factors after six weeks. particular in hypolipidemic and nephroprotective activity against free radical-related diseases(4).

N-3 fatty acids found abundantly in olive may also contribute to the potential benefits of dietary fat

modification in CKD patients, according to the Karolinska Institutet(5).

Dr. Lee SM and Dr. An WS., professors at the Seoul National University Hospital, insisted, intake of Omega 3 fatty acid exhibited cardioprotective effects in chronic kidney disease, the main cause of death, through attenuated inflammation, dyslipidemia, malnutrition, atherosclerosis, and vascular calcification(6).

Dr. Friedman AN said, " Long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), which are obtained primarily from dietary sources such as coldwater fish, have diverse and potent mediating effects on the immune, inflammatory, and metabolic pathways, signal transduction, and cell membrane physiology" and "In the meantime, the current American Heart Association n-3 PUFA intake guidelines can be applied to CKD patients"(7).

Resveratrol is a phytochemical in the class of Stilbenoids, found abundantly in grape and blueberry, may also benefit in attenuated complications and treatment of Chronic Kidney Diseases(CKD), through its inflammation and oxidative stress modulation (8).

According to the joint study led by the The Catholic University of Korea, Bucheon, resveratrol expressed renoprotective effects by activating NRF2 signaling against against oxidative or electrophilic stress(9). Furthermore by suppressing the pro inflammatory cytokines, consumption of white wine and olive oil, significantly reduced plasma markers of chronic inflammation in CKD patients.

The effectiveness of Cooked Sweet Potato, Olive and Grape Juice may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for reduced risk, complications and treatment of Chronic Kidney disease in Conorenal syndrome with little or no adverse effects.

People who are at high risk of Kidney disease in Conorenal syndrome should drink no more than 4 servings daily, depending to digestive toleration.
Life style and diet pattern change are necessary.

Most Common Diseases of 50plus: Upper Respiratory tract infection - Diseases associated with

Diseases associated with Upper respiratory tract infection

1. Chlamydia infection
In humans the most common infections are caused by Chlamydophila pneumoniae is Chlamydia trachomatis.These pathogens are mainly responsible for infections of upper respiratory tract, infections of urinary tract and conjunctivitis(19).
2. Acute otitis media (AOM)
Acute otitis media (AOM) occurs as a complication of viral upper respiratory tract infections in young children. AOM and respiratory viruses both display seasonal variation. According to the study leaded by Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah Health Sciences Center, showed that During the study period, 96,418 respiratory viral tests were performed; 46,460 (48%) were positive. The most commonly identified viruses were: RSV (22%), rhinovirus (8%), influenza (8%), parainfluenza (4%), human metapneumovirus (3%), and adenovirus (3%). AOM was diagnosed during 271,268 ambulatory visits. There were significant associations between peak activity of RSV, human metapneumovirus, influenza A, and office visits for AOM. Adenovirus, parainfluenza, and rhinovirus were not associated with visits for AOM(20).
3. Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes
Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes associated with colonization of the upper respiratory tract in young children. According to the study by Medical University of Lublin of the 342 pneumococcal isolates, the serotype coverage by PCV-10 or PCV-13 was 73.7% or 80.1%, respectively. Moreover, 92.4% of the isolates belonged to serotypes included in the “old” 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine. A clear picture of the distribution of S. pneumoniae serotypes associated with colonization and/or infection in various geographical areas is needed in a light of recommended or routine vaccination(21).

Most Common Disease of 50plus: The Clinical trials and Studies of Musculo-Skeletal disorders(MSDs) - Rheumatoid Arthritis: Herbal Primrose oil

2. Primrose oil

Primrose oil is a popular herbal medicine used herbal remedy used for treatment of numerous conditions, including pain relief and may be next potential target with pharmaceutical value in treatment of RA through its anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant activities(347)
With a rich source of omega-6 essential fatty acids, primrose oil may be effective "use in the treatment of systemic diseases marked by chronic inflammation, such as atopic dermatitis and rheumatoid arthritis" Dr.Bayles B and Dr. Usatine R. said(348).

The study of forty patients with rheumatoid arthritis and upper gastrointestinal lesions due to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs showed that primrose oil express a significant reduction in morning stiffness and pain and mild improvement in rheumatoid arthritis(349).

The finding the natural ingredients for treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosisis considered as a dream of many scientist to replace the long usage adverse effect of conventional medicine to other organs in the body. Unfortunately, many compounds found effective in initial studying failed to confirm the potential in large sample size and multi center.

According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institution, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis a disease of issue deep in the lungs has become thick and stiff, or scarred, over time.
The discovery of natural sources, such as green tea(1) for reduced risk and treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis by some creditable institutions may act as a cornerstone for in deep studies for identification of their validation and claim.

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Because of their health benefits, they have been cultivated for commercial purposes all over the world.

According to the Hallym University, astragalin, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside isolated from green tea seeds allayed ROS-promoted bronchial fibrosis through inhibiting autophagosome formation of degrade and recycle cytoplasmic materials in airways(2).
Dr. Sueoka N and researchers at the Saitama Cancer Center Research Institute suggested a new function of green tea in treating an animal model of human idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis through inhibition of the expression of pro inflammatory cytokines of TNF-alpha and IL-6(3) by drinking green tea for 4 months.

Intake of beta-carotene is found abundantly in tomato is found to associate with reduced risk of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, according to the Fukuoka University School of Medicine(4).
Dr. Rahman I and colleagues at the University of Rochester Medical Center, suggested that the major non-enzymatic antioxidants of the lungs, including beta-carotene are the first lines of defense against the oxidants level over the cellular signaling processes in induction of a variety of airway diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(5).

Resveratrol, another phytochemical found abundantly in grape also expressed anti inflammatory process associated with experimental pulmonary fibrosis in mice(6).

In animal study, resveratrol exhibited the total antioxidant capacity in reduced the bleomycine administration in induction of pulmonary fibrosi(7).

The combined eastragalin, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside found in green tea, resveratrol found in grape and beta-carotene found in tomato may contribute to further investigation of therapeutic natural ingredients for reduced risk and treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis .

People who are at increased risk of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. due to family history, genetic mutation,... should drink at least one serving daily and people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis should drink as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.

Most Common Diseases of 50plus: Upper Respiratory tract infection - The Types

The Types

1. Rhinitis
Rhinitis is defined as a condition of irritation and inflammation of the nasal mucosa. In most case, it is caused by allergic reaction, with symptoms of stuffy nose, runny nose, and post-nasal drip. According to the article of Economic Impact and Quality-of-Life Burden of Allergic Rhinitis, the disease affects over 30% of US population(8).
2. Rhinosinusitis or sinusitis
Rhinosinusitis or Sinusitis(9) is defined as a condition of inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, including frontal, ethmoid, maxillary, and sphenoid of which can develop headache as a result of exposure to a cold or flu virus, or an allergic reaction to pollen, mold, dust or smoke, etc..Sinusitis affects 37 million people each year. The diseases affects more than 24 million population in U.S. annually(10).
3. Nasopharyngitis
Also known as rhinopharyngitis or the common cold s defined as a Inflammation of the inflammation of the nasopharynx. Symptoms of can be relieved in children, by acetaminophen without any combination is as effective as OTC drugs containing acetaminophen, decongestant, and antihistaminics(11).
4. Pharyngitis
Pharyngitis, also known as sore throat is defined as a condition of inflammation of the pharynx, hypopharynx, uvula, and tonsils. The application of laripront has been reported as the positive outcome of the treatment in children that was especially efficacions in the patients with acute pathologies(12).
5. Epiglottitis (supraglottitis)
Epiglottitis is defined as a condition of inflammation of the tissue that covers the trachea (windpipe). Epiglottitis, in some some can be misdiagnosed with other disease, such as acute laryngo-tracheo-bronchitis. There is a report of a the case of a 20-month-old child who required admission to the intensive care with a presumptive diagnosis of acute laryngo-tracheo-bronchitis, for the management of acute upper airway obstruction. This child had received a complete course of Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine. Subsequent events showed that the diagnosis was not laryngo-tracheo-bronchitis but acute epiglottitis(13).
6. Laryngitis
Laryngitis is defined as condition of inflammation of the larynx. The disease can cause hoarse voice or the complete loss of the voice as it affects the vocal cords. Antibiotics appear to have no benefit in treating acute laryngitis, but antibiotic such as Erythromycin, could reduce voice disturbance at one week and cough at two weeks when measured subjectively(14).
7. Laryngotracheitis
Laryngotracheitis is defined as conditions of inflammation of the laryngitis and tracheitis. Many practitioners have considered that steroids, with their anti-inflammatory properties, should be efficacious in the treatment of acute laryngotracheitis(15).
8. Tracheitis
Tracheitis is defined as a condition of inflammation of the trachea and subglottic area. Bacterial tracheitis needs a high index of suspicion because of its varied presentations. Certain forms have less severe clinical manifestations. These forms also require aggressive management as they can result in airway obstruction from membranes and edema(16).
