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.3. The Preventive Minerals and Vitamins
2. Top vitamins for rheumatoid arthritis
Free radical scavengers such as vitamins plays an essential role in reduced risk of rheumatoid arthritis
due to their effects in attenuate the expression of free radical and pro inflammatory cytokines(271)(272)
2.1. Vitamin A
According to the Imam Reza Hospital of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, antioxidant including vitamin A are found to consist a clinical outcomes and oxidative stress in RA(274).
Patient with rheumatoid arthritis are accompanied with the over expression of the levels of serum leptin and other related cytokines, Dr. Xiong RB and the research team at the Southern Medical Universit said, " VitA.....significantly reduced the levels of leptin, TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP and the ESR(Pro inflammatory cytokines) and significantly increased the levels of IL-10 ( limiting autoimmunity and inflammatory responses),.... (of that) may provide a novel approach for the treatment of RA"(273).. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a biologic key metabolite of vitamin A, showed to suppress the clinical and histologic signs of arthritis in the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice model through downregulated the expression of RANK and prevented white blood cell from differentiating into osteoclasts, causing RA( 275).


2.2. Vitamin C
Dietary vitamin C did significantly influence on growth performance and immune response, according to epidemiological studies(276)(277).
Maintaining the balance between pro oxidant and antioxidant levels such as vitamin C and uric acid are important to prevent the insult of free radicals in rheumatoid arthritis, according Dr. Mahajan M and the research team at the Govt. Medical College suggested(278).
Dr Al-Okbi SY said" the majority of nutraceuticals studied possess beneficial effect toward chronic inflammatory diseases,.....anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutraceuticals may serve as complementary medicine for the management of RA(279).

2.3. Vitamin E
Vitamin A similar to vitamin A are found to consist a clinical outcomes and oxidative stress (274)which has been found to play an important role in the inflammation and parthenogenesis of RA(283).
According to studies, diets containing fish oil and vitamin E not only showed a significant pain reduction in patients but also induced a positive effect on autoimmune disease by decreasing proinflammatory cytokines and lipid mediator(280). In the rat model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), oral adminsitration of δ-tocotrienol (10 mg/kg) induced a significant impact in lowering paw edema, through it anti inflammatory effects(281).


2.4. Vitamin D
Vitamin D receptor (VDR), best known for its function in variety of metabolic disorders and in regulation of inflammation, is found to associate to the risk of RA(284), through its expression on reduced risk for FLS-mediated cartilage and bone invasion and erosions by attenuating the pro inflammatory cytokines induced osteoclasts. Vitamin D deficiency is common in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of which induced pain, fatigue, and limited physical activity as well as poor quality of life(285).
Dr. Kostoglou-Athanassioul and the research team at the Red Cross Hospital, said," vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in patients with RA, .......may be linked to disease severity in RA. As vitamin D deficiency has been linked to diffuse musculoskeletal pain, these results have therapeutic implications"(286).




2.5. Vitamin K
Vitamin K, another vitamin is found to plays an important role as an anti-inflammatory nutrient in bone metabolism(287). According to the cross-sectional study of a total of 158 female RA patients (mean age 62.5 years), oral administration VitK2 significant decreased serum CRP, and inhibited the proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) and the development of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). in a dose-dependent manner(288).

Mondor's disease is a medical; condition involved thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast and anterior chest wall. although the disease is benign but it can be caused at times by breast carcinoma, according to the Ospedale Vittore Buzzi(10) or the complication, of the tunnel procedure in breast biopsy when the distance from the breast lesion to the areolar edge was more than 3 cm(11), as well as thoracoabdominal wall surgeries(12).
Treatment is symptomatic because the disease has proved to be benign and self-limited with corticosteroids, antibiotics, vaccines, and anticoagulants.(13).


The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Mondor's disease caused by Breast cancer
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 1/2 cups Blueberries
1 cup rice milk
4-6 ice cubes

1. Place all the ingredients in a blender.
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately.

The dream of finding of a natural ingredient for replacement of serious side effects of chemotherapy for treatment of breast caner has been extremely difficult, probably due to physical differences in testing subjects.

Breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) is a cancer originated in the tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma).In 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in women in the U.S. alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during life time of a women is 1/8.

Blueberry, a flower plant, belong to the family Eriaceae and native to Northern America contains several essential phytochemicals and nutrients, including, lutein and zeaxanthin, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium and vitamins.

Blueberry or whole blueberry powder may hold a key for reduced risk breast cancer and for treatment of the diseases. Recent studies insisted that intake of the fruits and the fruit products showed to the improve the survival rate of women with breast cancer.

In estrogen-mediated breast cancer, blueberry-supplemented diet protect women against breast cancer induced by 17β-estradiol (E2)-mediated mammary tumorigenesis(breast cancer)(1) in animals received 5% blueberry diet, either 2 weeks prior to or 12 weeks study.Dr. Ravoori S and the research team at the University of Louisville suggested, the effectiveness of blue berry for treatment of breast cancer may be a result of the exhibition of its phytochemicals reducing mammary tissue proliferation and tumor burden, tumor latency(2).

In fact the intake of berries reduced significantly mammary tumor incidence (10-30%) by suppressing the levels of E(2) to prevent the early onset of E(2) breast cancer(3).
Dr. Aiyer HS and Gupta RC. said, blueberries and other berries promote anti proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer cell is due its effects in modulating enzymes of estrogen metabolism.

In breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-231, pterostilbene, a phytochemical found in blueberries, effectively suppressed tumorigenesis and metastasis of cancer stem cells (CSCs) through reduced expressions in promoted(4) and increased tumor cell proliferation of breast cancer(5).

Addition to that, the joint study lead by the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee showed that pterostilbene not only expressed itself as a effective inducer of apoptosis in human breast in affecting various cellular targets, it also may be a chemopreventive potential based on its stronger anti-proinflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory activities against many forms of diseases(6).

In the study of MCF7, Hs578t and MDA-MB-231 breast cancercell lines, pterostilbene suppressed tumor growth and metastasis in MDA-MB-231, the triple-negative breast cancer and Hs578t cells through inhibition of the migratory and invasive potential by blocking the initiate the metastatic process(7).

Further more, the phytochemical also found to inhibit breast cancer regardless of estrogen receptor (ER-α36 positive or negative breast cancer)status by inducing apoptosis(8) and anti-proliferation(9), with or without the execution of cell death in apoptotic cells(8).

The finding of the effectiveness of blueberry and its phytochemical pterostilbene may serve as a cornerstone of pharmaceutical target for further studies as well as a protential medication for treatment of breast disease.

Women who are at high risk of breast cancer such as genetic mutation genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 should drink at least one cup daily and women with breast cancer should drink the juices as much as they can depending to digestive toleration.

                           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,.

   Pulmonary vascular disease:  Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease 


Pulmonary vascular disease is defined as a condition of blood flow to the lung’s artery is blocked suddenly due to a blood clot somewhere in the body, including pulmonary embolism, chronic thromboembolic disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, pulmonary edema, etc.

Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is an extremely rare form of pulmonary hypertension, affecting mostly in children and young adults as a result of a progressive obstruction of small pulmonary veins that leads to elevation in pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular failure.

                             The Diagnosis

Patients in the early stage with early pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) may experience no symptoms at all, but the progression of diseasse may attributable to pulmonary hypertension and right-sided heart failure supervene(32).
B.1. Noninvasive diagnosis to detect PVOD(33)
A noninvasive diagnostic approach may include
1. Chest high-resolution computed tomographymay be helpful for clinical differential diagnosis of PVOD and PCH
In the study to examine chest HRCT images for four patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), three patients with PVOD and three patients with PCH, and to evaluate pulmonary vascular casts of lung tissues obtained from those patients at lung transplantation or autopsy, found that
Measurement of the sizes of centrilobular GGOs in HRCT is a simple and useful method for clinical differential diagnosis of PVOD and PCH(34).
2. Arterial blood gas analysis(ABG)
The aim of the blood withdrawn from an artery, involving puncturing an artery with a thin needle and syringe is to determine the pH of the blood, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide and oxygen, the bicarbonate level and gas exchange which reflect gas exchange across the alveolar-capillary membrane(35).
3. Pulmonary function tests (PFT)
It is a complete evaluation of the respiratory system including patient history, physical examinations, chest x-ray examinations, arterial blood gas analysis, and tests of pulmonary function(36).
4. Bronchoalveolar lavage
Bronchoalveolar lavage has a well established role in the diagnosis of pulmonary infections, particularly those due to opportunistic organisms in an immunocompromised host with an aim to assess a number of pulmonary components of whchi may be useful in this regard, particularly if combined with new methods for examining inflammatory responses, such as those utilising the polymerase chain reaction to assess cellular expression for inflammatory cytokines and growth factors.(37).
5. Transthoracic Echocardiography
Transthoracic echocardiography is an important initial non-invasive diagnostic tool with aim to evaluate patients in whom pulmonary hypertension is suspected, according to the ACCF/AHA 2009 Expert Consensus Document on Pulmonary Hypertension(38).
6. Flow cytometry
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) both display occlusive remodeling of the pulmonary vasculature responsible for increased pulmonary vascular resistances. Cytotoxic T (CTL), natural killer (NK), and natural killer T (NKT) cells play a critical role in vascular remodeling in different physiological and pathological conditions. According to study, a
decrease in GNLY demethylation in the gDNA extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and explanted lungs was found specifically in PVOD but not in PAH. This was associated with a decrease in populations and subpopulations of CTL and NKT and an increase of NK populations. Despite the reduced granulysin-containing cells in patients with PVOD, GNLY serum levels were higher, suggesting these cells were wasting their content. Furthermore, the increase of GNLY concentration in the serum of PVOD was significantly higher than in patients with PAH(39).
B.2. Surgical biopsy
Since surgical biopsy represents a high-risk procedure in these patients, it is contraindicated. lung biopsy or pathologic examination of pulmonary explants or postmortem lung samples. However, lung biopsy is hazardous in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension, and there is a need for noninvasive diagnostic tools in this patient population. Patients with PVOD may be refractory to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-specific therapy and may even deteriorate with it. It is important to identify such patients as soon as possible, because they should be treated cautiously and considered for lung transplantation if eligible(39).

                            The Treatment



B. Treatment in herbal and traditional Chinese medicine
B.7. Other essential alternative medicine treatment
2. Acupuncture
The most oldest form of medical treatment in traditional Chinese medicine has been known for its function in relief pain(383,313) and functional limitation(384,314) for chronic patient, including patient with moderate or severe chronic pain(383,313).
The Cochrane Field of Rehabilitation and Related Therapies and the Cochrane Musculoskeletal Review suggests the effectiveness of acupuncture as a rehabilitation of an adjunct therapy for the symptomatic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis showed to reduce symptomatic knee pain in patients with RA 24 hours and 4 months post treatment(315). According to Dr. Wang C and the research team at the Tufts Medical Center and Tufts University School of Medicine, acupuncture showed to decrease pain, significant reduced morning stiffness and inflammatory markers in comparison to controls in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(316).In a total of 80 eligible patients, 36 patients with mean age of 58 study, electroacupuncture (EA) and traditional Chinese acupuncture (TCA) significantly reduced tender joints and improved physician's and patients global score but large scale trial are recommended in orderto clarify the existing evidence base on acupuncture for RA.(317).
In the discuss of the imbalance between T-helper 17 (Th17) cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells induced rheumatoid arthritis, use of electroacupuncture (EA) not only restores the balance of Th17/Treg cell but also expresses its anti-inflammatory effects through educed paw volumes, arthritis scores and inflammation scores(319) in collagen-induced arthritis (autoimmune disease ) rats(320).


In fact, poor quality of studies and conflicting evidence exists in placebo-controlled trials, in some cases are also found to accompany with certain inconsistency of its efficacy(318).

Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is an extremely rare form of pulmonary hypertension, affecting mostly in children and young adults as a result of a progressive obstruction of small pulmonary veins that leads to elevation in pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular failure.

                             The Misdiagnosis

PVOD is an underdiagnosed and commonly misdiagnosed cause of pulmonary hypertension, which may present with a failure to respond to medical therapy. Further studies on PVOD may help confirm whether a change in its classification as a type of PAH is necessary(29). Other study reported a case of a 27-yr-old female with a 6-month diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) confirmed elsewhere was referred to our centre with worsening dyspnoea. On examination, the patient had low systemic oxygen saturation despite high oxygen flow and reduced exercise capacity. Haemodynamics were indicative of severe pre-capillary PAH. High-resolution computed tomography revealed diffuse ground-glass opacity with thickening interlobular septa, and haemosiderin-laden macrophages were identified by bronchoalveolar lavage. Based on clinical and diagnostic findings, the patient was re-diagnosed with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD)(30). Also, there is a review of cases of 14 patients with clinically diagnosed PAH who had failed to respond to medical therapy and had lung tissue available from autopsy or explant. Control samples (n = 6) were obtained from lungs explanted for other causes, and a previous transthoracic echocardiogram excluded pulmonary hypertension(31).

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia, a benign breast tumor
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1/ 2 sweet potato
1/2 orange
1/2 tomato
1 cup blueberry 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 Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia 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.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign breast disease of mammary stromal
tumor caused by multipotent stromal cells proliferated lesion of the breast, frequently found in a microscopic incidental in breast biopsies performed for benign or malignant disease(7) According to surgical excision may be necessary for larger lesions and in women with Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia are at an increased risk for developing breast cancer(8).

Women with benign breast disease(BBD) are found to have lower antioxidant status, probably to compensate for this elevated free radical production(3)

According to the, dietary supplement "Karinat" containing beta-carotene 2.5 mg, alpha-tocopherol 5 mg, ascorbic acid 30 mg and garlic powder 150 mg per one tablet in a total of 66 patients twice a day during 6 months exhibited anti benign breast disease up to 75.8% in comparison to placebo(2).

According to the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Intakes of vitamin E and individual carotenoids may associate to reduce risk proliferative BBD(4), particular in carotenoids intake in BBD of adolescent girls(5).

Dr. Ramaswamy G and Dr. Krishnamoorthy L. said, "Serum ascorbate levels were significantly lower in patients with benign diseases of the breast and cervix than in controls"(6).

The effectiveness of Sweet Potato(Vitamin E), Tomato(Vitamin A) and Orange (Ascorbic Acid or Vitamin C )  may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for for Reduced Risk and treatment of Granular cell tumor (GCT) of the breast, a benign disease of the breast with little or no adverse effects.

Adding organic blueberry juice to the smoothie may also ameliorate the risk of breast cancer induced by Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia, according to recent studies insisted that intake of the fruits and the fruit products showed to the improve the survival rate of women with breast cancer(9).
Women who are at increased risk of Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of the breast may drink at least one serving daily and women with Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of the breast may drink as much as they can, depending to the digestive toleration.
Life style and dietary patter change are recommended

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
3. The miracle of Olive oil
Olive is belongs to the the family Oleaceae, native to the coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean Basin and south end of the Caspian Sea. Its fruit, is also called the olive and the source of olive oil.

Olive Oil: Fat Content
1. Saturated fats
a. Palmitic acid
b. Stearic acid
c. Arachidic acid
d. ehenic acid
e. Myristic acid
f. Lignoceric acid
2. Unsaturated fat3. Monounsaturated fats
a. Oleic acid
b. Palmitoleic acid
3. Polyunsaturated fats
a. Linoleic acid
b. Linolenic acid

Monounsaturated fatty acids found abundantly in extra virgin olive oil has found to inhibit proinflammatory cytokines in inducing the decreases lubricin expression and predisposes to cartilage degeneration(247). Intake of olive oil, according to the University of Athens Medical School and University of Seville, showed to reduce risk of risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) due to the effects of n-3 fatty acids through the antioxiant activity(248) as well as preventing inflammatory response and cartilage matrix degradation in murine collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis(249), respectively.
Furthermore, in animal models of acute inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis, hydroxytyrosol, a phytochemical found in virgin olive oil, a primary source of fat in the Mediterranean diet, inhibited significant impact on chronic inflammation and acute inflammatory processes, through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, recent study suggested.(250).
In deed, dr. González Cernadas L and the research team at the Unidad de Fisioterapia Basada en la Evidencia del Departamento de Fisioterapia de la Universidad de A Coruña said," some dietetic elements (polyunsaturated fatty acids, mediterranean diet and antioxidants) with inflammatory markers reduction and oxidative stress inhibition have anti-inflammatory effects and decrease AR disease activity"(251).
