Unfortunately, due to a family history of diabetes and a rather high sugar diet, I eventually became pre-diabetic at the age of nine. Luckily enough, I had early intervention and my doctor recommended a strict diet along with exercise; I was soon able to lower my blood sugar within the normal range. However, that didn't mean I wasn't devastated by lack of sweets and would stare with envy at my friends as they often had desserts with their meals. As I grew older and studied biology in college, I gained a better understanding of how the human body realized how important diet was to preventing disease. I now am much more health-conscious, being careful about what I eat and making time out of my day to exercise for at least thirty minutes.\u0000I created this art piece to capture the distinct ‘sugar rush’ that you get from consuming something sweet. I wanted to showcase how sweets made me feel and why it was so hard for me to accept that I couldn’t eat sweets as I wanted anymore. In turn, I hope this art piece encourages others to reflect on their own diets. ","PeriodicalId":448602,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114969157","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}

After 4 years, she decided she no longer wanted to risk medication side effects while still having regular relapses. She adopted a plant-based diet, started exercising as tolerated, and worked on improving her mental health through mindfulness and spiritual practices. During the 12 years after these changes, the patient experienced 5 exacerbations in total. In 2021, magnetic resonance imaging scans were compared with pre-lifestyle change scans; there was some increase in the size and number of T2 bright lesions but no significant lesion enhancement. The patient currently enjoys a quality of life equal to someone without MS.\u0000Conclusions: Although pharmaceuticals are the mainstay of MS therapy, a full lifestyle approach in addition to, or instead of, traditional therapies warrant increased attention, especially in patients who are unable to tolerate medication side effects and are committed to making lifestyle changes.","PeriodicalId":448602,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121498470","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}

{"title":"Incidence of Autoimmune Arthritis Disease Flare Following SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination and its Association with Concurrent NSAID Use","authors":"R. Bailey, Clint Paddison, Vidhi Bharti","doi":"10.22230/ijdrp.2022v4n2a323","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22230/ijdrp.2022v4n2a323","url":null,"abstract":"Background: This study aims to analyze the association between COVID-19 vaccination and an inflammatory arthritis reaction in autoimmune arthritis patients.\u0000Methods: A survey was completed by participants with inflammatory arthritis between August 17 and 18, 2021. Survey participants (n = 1348) responded to questions about their diagnosis, the length of their diagnosis, current medication, brand of vaccine received, incidence of inflammatory arthritis symptoms after COVID-19 vaccination, and how long the symptoms persisted. Participants were also asked to report any other notable side effects experienced after vaccination.\u0000Results: Participants reported a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (83.9%), psoriatic arthritis (6.5%), ankylosing spondylitis (2.5%), fibromyalgia (1.1%), lupus (0.5%), or other inflammatory arthritides (5.5%). Most participants reported having their condition for 5–10 years (25.3%), with only 4.6% having been diagnosed within the last year. Current use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) was reported by 36.8% of participants, while 15% and 7.7% reported taking a biologic drug/infusion or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), respectively, and 22.8% indicated that they were taking no medication. Types of COVID-19 vaccine reported were Pfizer-BioNTech (51.9%), Oxford AstraZeneca (24.2%), Moderna (19.2%), Janssen/Johnson & Johnson (3.2%), and Sinopharm (1.5%). Following vaccination, 21% of participants reported experiencing inflammatory arthritis symptoms, with 14% indicating a possible mild flare (“perhaps a little”). These symptoms were reported to be ongoing by 40.7% of participants. Statistical analysis revealed that vaccine brand and diagnosis had no significant effect on the incidence of self-reported post-vaccination inflammatory arthritis symptoms. Participants currently taking NSAIDs were significantly more likely to report a vaccine-induced inflammatory arthritis reaction; however, it remains unclear if this was due to concurrent NSAID use or because of the likely increased disease activity in participants taking NSAIDs.\u0000Conclusion: In support of other published studies, our data indicate a low incidence of COVID-19 vaccine-induced inflammatory arthritis reaction in autoimmune arthritis patients. Patients currently taking NSAIDs may have an increased risk of experiencing inflammatory arthritis symptoms following their COVID-19 vaccination.","PeriodicalId":448602,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125940584","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}

Yet, compared to fat and carbohydrate sources, the impact of dietary protein sources on human and cardiovascular health has received far less attention. However, consistent data from large prospective cohort studies from the United States, Europe, and Asia have consistently documented reduced risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in individuals with the highest consumption of plant proteins, and an increased risk of IHD in those with the highest intake of animal proteins. Which cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are most impacted is less clear. Mechanistic studies are limited by the fact that, like other macronutrients, protein in the human diet comes from a myriad of sources with varying proportions of non-protein micro and macronutrients that have independent influences on the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, growing evidence suggests that both non-protein and protein components of plant vs. animal protein sources may confer ASCVD protection or risk, and that inflammation and the gut microbiome play crucial roles.","PeriodicalId":448602,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130005477","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}

The rising demand for sustainable ways of living has stimulated research initiatives globally. We sought to comprehend the topics of interest to researchers and took a qualitative approach in examining vegan-related research trends worldwide. This article aims to provide a synthesis of underlying research themes and identify the direction of future vegan-related research. We selected relevant articles published between 1960 and 2020 from the Scopus database and performed a bibliographic coupling analysis with the open-source R programming software-based Bibliometrix package followed by a content analysis. We identified four main clusters and the associated sub-clusters for each of them: a) consumerism (cultural, social, personal, and psychological factors), b) medical and health sciences (nutrition, biomarkers, anthropometry, fat and/or cholesterol, blood glucose, gut health, blood pressure, general health, ageing and/or quality of life, physical or exercise performance, mortality or longevity, bone health, and genetics), c) food science and technology (vegan food products or by-products, vegan vitamins or supplements, and vegan food content or toxic elements), and d) environmental impacts (greenhouse gas emissions, land and water use).

The self-care curriculum combined didactic, experiential, and group learning in nutrition, culinary arts, exercise, yoga, mindful eating, stress resilience, and ethnobotany.\u0000Setting: Emory University Hospital, part of the largest academic health system in Atlanta, Georgia.\u0000Participants: Forty benefits-eligible employees, with preference given to those with elevated body mass index, co-morbid conditions, and high levels of motivation for lifestyle change.\u0000Results: Data was collected for evaluation of the interactive curriculum in increasing knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy; feasibility of the program; and changes in health behaviors (through self-assessment surveys) and health outcomes (body composition and blood pressure). Future analysis will include comparative statistics and chi-square tests which will be used to measure intermediate (3- and 6- month) and longer-term (1 year) changes in each quantitative variable. We will use qualitative data analysis on free-form participant feedback data.\u0000Conclusions: We believe our multidisciplinary, skill-building, teaching kitchen intervention is an innovative model for promoting salubrious health behaviors and a culture of health in worksites. This pilot will allow for a thorough assessment of the value of this type of program to employers and employees alike and seeks to aid in development and standardization of future culinary-based comprehensive lifestyle disease prevention and health promotion programs.","PeriodicalId":448602,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117297969","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}
