Hope for arthritis sufferers: Researchers identify a chemical that can stop inflammatory cell death
A chemical called necrosulfonamide may help inhibit “cellular suicide” linked to arthritis, a recent animal study showed. Published in Science Immunology, the study revealed that necrosulfonamide can prevent pyroptosis, a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death that contributes to conditions like arthritis, live disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). (Related: Cannabis found to reduce the symptoms of IBD.) The undesirable effects of pyroptosis […]

Study finds that lithium could be used to treat people with a rare muscle disease
A rare disease called limb-girdle muscular dystrophy D1 (LMGD1) makes even everyday actions such as climbing stairs, lifting objects and standing up from a chair difficult to do. Over time, it can even cause some people to lose the ability to walk. A recent study, however, shows that lithium can be a possible treatment for LMGD1. Researchers at the […]

Case study: Integrated use of yoga and naturopathy found to effectively manage metabolic syndrome, improve quality of life
An interesting case study detailed the application of integrated yoga and naturopathy (IYN) in managing metabolic syndrome (MetS) of an obese individual. The patient showed significant improvements in MetS-related parameters after a six-week therapy session involving customized treatment. This outcome suggests that it is not only possible to integrate yoga and naturopathy together, but that […]
