The authors are based on existing studies showing that ARVI can cause inflammatory processes in the nervous system and lead to long-term health consequences. The article also discusses methods of diagnosis and treatment of neurological manifestations of ARVI. The research results may be useful for doctors treating patients with acute respiratory viral infections, as well as for people who want to understand the possible consequences of this disease. In addition, the authors note that the neurological consequences of ARVI can be especially dangerous for certain groups of patients, such as children, the elderly and people with concomitant diseases. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the neurological symptoms of ARVI and to carry out timely diagnosis and treatment. The paper also notes that possible causes of neurological manifestations of ARVI may be not only viruses, but also immune mechanisms, as well as other factors such as stress and lack of physical activity during the disease. In general, the article provides an overview of the neurological consequences of ARVI, indicating their severity and the need for additional research in this area. This information can be useful both for doctors and for the general public, helping to understand the importance of prevention and timely treatment of acute respiratory viral infections.","PeriodicalId":41505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Complementary Medicine Research","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80685430","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}

In recent decades, dengue has been alarmingly on the rise and affects approximately half of the world population. The current dengue treatments are still mainly supportive without any approved vaccines or effective anti-dengue drugs. This leads to an urgency to seek alternative solutions in reducing dengue morbidity and mortality. Methods: A total of 94 articles describing in vitro and in vivo studies were screened and selected through curated databases. The selected articles underpinned the potentials of natural products as alternative anti-dengue compounds. Results: Those compounds have been employed as larvicide, mosquitocide, mosquito repellents, agents in sticky traps and non-specific interventions for dengue. In this review, their direct and indirect effects on dengue virus replication and dengue diseases were deliberated. Inteestingly, the majority of them demonstrated remarkable anti-inflammatory effects on dengue diseases. Several phytochemical contents such as luteolin, coumarins and geraniin were shown to inhibit DENV replication in vitro. Conclusion: Natural product-based anti-dengue agents are believed to be less costly, easy to derive, biologically effective and less toxic. This review, therefore, aims to provide current updates and insights on the benefits of natural products in preventing, managing and treating dengue.","PeriodicalId":41505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Complementary Medicine Research","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75979863","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}

Different minimally invasive techniques, such as the injection of diverse substances into the joint, arthrocentesis have exhibited good clinical results and such modalities would be considered either for severe TMDs or after the failure of conservative treatments. Several studies endorsed intra-articular injections of platelet- rich plasma (PRP) as an effective procedure to decrease TMD tenderness. The primary aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a single PRP injection in terms of reducing pain, and improving mandibular motion in patients affected by internal derangement of the TMJ. Materials & Methods: The study consisted of 10 patients who reported to the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic with painful dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint who received a single injection of PRP in the TMJ. Variables measured including pain score and mouth opening were assessed preoperatively and postoperativel. SPSS 24.0 was used for data management and statistical analysis. The level of significance was set at 0.05 for all statistical tests using chi-square. Results:The group of 10 patients consisted of 9 women and 1 man. The age of the participants ranged from 27 to 75 years, and a median age of 45.5. Upon the follow up visit within 1-3 months: 7/10 patients showed a significant reduction of the pain intensity (more than 50% reduction of pain intensity), 2/10 patients showed a partial resolution of the symptoms with minimal reduction of pain and one patient showed no improvement in either pain or mouth opening and subsequently underwent arthrocentesis. The PRP injections were successful in decreasing pain intensity scores to below 5 in most cases. A Chi-squared test was performed to test for an association between the PRP injections and pain intensity score and the outcome supports the conclusion that there is a strong correlation between the PRP injection and pain and that it is statistically significant. Conclusions:TMD symptoms and movement limitations disrupt everyday life and in cases with severe illness, studies showed that the conservative treatment measures lead to insignificant or low improvement in quality of life. For this reason, a fast acting and effective method of reducing pain and movement limitations is essential and our study findings support the role of PRP injections. It exhibited a very strong negative relationship, which indicates that the PRP injection and pain scores are inversely related.","PeriodicalId":41505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Complementary Medicine Research","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73654153","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}

Several polymorphisms in the IL18 promoter region have been identified. As there is little evidence for IL18 polymorphisms and periodontitis, this study aimed to evaluate the genetic association of polymorphisms of the IL18 gene (rs1946518). Materials and Methods: A total of 100 subjects were recruited for this study, including 50 patients with periodontitis (stage II, III and grade B) and 50 patients with healthy gingiva clinically intact periodontium. Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood obtained from the subjects. DNA was amplified using primers specific to the MseI region of the IL18 receptor gene. Amplicon was further genotyped using the restriction fragment length using the BtgI enzyme. Genotyping obtained on the basis of the RFLP model was recorded and used for statistical analysis. The distributions of genotypes and allele frequencies in the periodontal disease group and the control group were compared using the Chi Square test. Risks associated with individual alleles or genotypes were calculated using odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance in all trials was determined at p <0.05. Result: The frequencies of genotypes and the distribution of IL18 receptor MseI polymorphisms were not significantly different at ꭕ2df (P = .818).
