Asthma, is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that causes reversible bronchoconstriction, making it difficult for patients to breathe. Exacerbations of the disease can be caused by a variety of factors but share similar symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and chest tightness. Severe asthma exacerbations are defined as symptoms that do not respond to inhaled medications and improve only after oral or intravenous steroid administration. Asthma-related deaths often occur during exacerbations. Vitamin D, which is produced naturally in the body and found in some foods, is a steroid-derived vitamin. Adequate doses of this vitamin, administered through medication or supplements, can be used to maintain its proper levels in the organism. Vitamin D is essential for regulating calcium levels in the body and for bone remodeling. It also has immunomodulatory effects, affecting both innate and adaptive immunity. This partly explains its association with changes in the airway epithelium that occur as a result of inflammation in asthma. \u0000The study aims to summarize the current knowledge on the relationship of vitamin D with asthma symptom control. \u0000The present study is based on literature available in scientific databases from 2013-2016, such as PubMed, Corchane Library and Google Scholar, using the following keywords: \"vitamin D\" and \"asthma.\" \u0000Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in children and adults worldwide. A critical analysis of the literature reveals that the therapeutic administration of vitamin D has no apparent advantage in treating asthma, especially in children. Nevertheless, for adults with mild asthma, vitamin D supplementation shows promise for improved outcomes. However, there is a pressing need for large-scale clinical trials to determine the efficacy and safety of this therapeutic approach for both age groups.","PeriodicalId":15567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education, Health and Sport","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140962662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deficiency in lactase activity leads to lactose intolerance, causing gastrointestinal symptoms. Understanding the genetic and environmental factors influencing lactase expression and activity is crucial. Moreover, accurate diagnostic methods and effective treatments are needed to manage lactose intolerance. This review aims to explore the current knowledge on lactase deficiency, lactose intolerance, diagnostic methods, and treatment options. State of knowledge:  Lactase deficiency encompasses congenital, primary, and secondary forms, each with distinct etiologies. Although often used interchangeably, lactase deficiency and lactose intolerance differ. However, the association between lactase deficiency and lactose intolerance is complex, influenced by various factors including dietary habits, gut microbiota, and gastrointestinal motility. Diagnostic methods are limited, and treatment strategies primarily involve dietary modifications, lactase supplementation, and probiotics.  Conclusion: Lactose intolerance presents significant clinical challenges, often underrecognized and misdiagnosed. Despite diagnostic advancements further research is needed to refine diagnostic accuracy. Treatment focuses on dietary adjustments, enzyme supplementation, and probiotics. Balancing symptom relief with nutritional adequacy is essential. Future studies should explore the role of gut microbiome modulation in lactose intolerance management through clinical trials. ","PeriodicalId":15567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education, Health and Sport","volume":"113 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141126507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be treated both pharmacologically and procedurally, for example, through uterine artery ligation, embolization, or hysterectomy. In case of procedural treatment, it is essential for the medical team to familiarize themselves with the anatomical structure of the patient's uterine arteries. Various variations in the course of this vessel are distinguished, such as the uterine artery branching as a bifurcation with the inferior gluteal artery, a common trunk of the uterine artery with another vessel, or even its duplication. Using radiological techniques such as angiography, it is possible to visualize vessels and their variations, which can allow for better patient care. Unfamiliarity with the departure and trajectory of the uterine artery may be associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications, especially after hysterectomy, where the uterine arteries close at the level of the uterus or at the beginning of their departure from the internal iliac artery. Ligating them in other place may result in ischemia of an area that should be continuously supplied with blood. Also, during surgery, special attention should be paid to possible anatomical variations of the patient's uterine artery, which, although rare, can cause intraoperative complications. A thorough analysis of the departure and trajectory of the uterine artery by physicians can prevent postoperative complications and also allow for the safe conduct of embolization procedures.

The exact etiopathology of the disease is not fully understood, however the presence of Staphylococcus aureus, dysfunction of the host’s immune response, genetic factors, previous trauma of the scalp, as well as Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor inhibitors (EGFRi) use seem to play a role. Clinically, FD presents with scarring alopecic patches with follicular pustules, crusts and tufted hair. Objectives: As the full etiology of the disease is unknown and most data in the literature is based on retrospective date, therapeutic management is not precisely established. The objective of this review is to describe therapeutic options,  as well as highlighting potential new therapeutic modalities reported in the literature. Limitations: Because FD is a rare disease, the main limitation is lack of randomized control trials, evaluating therapeutic modalities. Methods: An exhaustive search of references related to FD  published in PubMed between 2017 and 2024 was undertaken, using the search term: \"folliculitis decalvans\".  Articles with large patient cohorts and reviews were included, as well as case reports and case series, that reported novel treatment approaches for FD.Conclusions: The management of FD poses a challenge. Systemic antibiotics, particularly rifampicin and clindamycin, are considered the first-line agents and are commonly used in combination with local therapies. Systemic isotretinoin yields sustained remission in some cases, while biological agents exhibit promise in managing severe FD. Novel therapeutic modalities, incorporating, among others, botulinum toxin A injections, Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP), or surgical procedures, necessitate randomized double-blind trials to evaluate their safety and efficacy.","PeriodicalId":15567,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education, Health and Sport","volume":"52 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140964948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
