Many reasons for these\u0000large numbers of deaths are known [for review, see1], for example,\u0000inadequate therapeutic measures, unavailability of adequate blood/\u0000plasma/fluid replacement, seeing the patient too late, and\u0000unavailability of trained ER personnel, among the major reasons\u0000[for recent review, see1]. Another predominant reason for large\u0000numbers of hemorrhagic and traumatic shock deaths is the risk of\u0000sepsis in many of these victims, resulting in septic shock having\u0000mortalities in excess of 40- 75%, depending upon locality, with the\u0000lower numbers in the U.S.A. Lastly, and most important is “natural\u0000resistance of the body to infectious microorganisms” (i.e, bacteria,\u0000funguses, viruses, parasitic organisms, etc.). What is responsible\u0000for “natural resistance” has been studied for more than 150 years.\u0000We know that the “innate” and “adaptive” immune systems are\u0000key elements in defense against infectious microorganisms [2, 3].\u0000But, which elements of these systems make-up major aspects of\u0000“resistance” and “host defense” still remains to be worked out.\u0000Using starfish, more than 140 years ago, the pioneer/father of\u0000immunology, and Nobel Laureate, Elie Metchnikoff, believed that\u0000white blood cells and macrophages were key to host-defense [4].\u0000He also believed the body develops molecules/substances, which\u0000are key to resistance to infectious microorganisms [4].","PeriodicalId":73657,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical & experimental immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91392936","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}

His methodology is the\u0000developed GH-Method: math-physical medicine (MPM) which has been utilized repeatedly in the past decade.\u0000The predicted PPG formula-based on the status of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), carbs/sugar intake amount, and postmeal walking steps are as follows:\u0000Predicted PPG\u0000= 0.97 * FPG + (carbs/sugar grams * 1.8) - (post-meal walking steps in thousand * 5)\u0000The conclusive results have the order of values m1 / m2 /m3 / prediction accuracy %.\u0000Case A: 1.8 / 5.0 / 0.97 / 99.8%\u0000Case B: 2.0 / 5.0 / 0.945 / 99.9%\u0000Case C: 2.2 / 5.0 / 0.92 / 99.9%\u0000Exercise is important, contributing ~3% higher than food, is easily achieved compared to the required knowledge of\u0000diet. As a result, the author spent four years to study food nutrition. Most T2D patients are seniors; therefore, he\u0000suggests that walking is the best form of exercise. However, the most difficult part of exercise is the behavior psychology\u0000related to the issue of “discipline and persistence”. T2D patients need to walk between 2,000 to 4,000 steps after each\u0000meal. The author walks an average of 4,300 steps after each meal. On the other hand, diet (carbs/sugar amount and\u0000nutritional balance) requires much more and deeper knowledge of food nutrition in order to control diabetes. Therefore,\u0000the author developed an AI-based tool to assist T2D patients.\u0000For non-tech patients, the following simple guidelines can assist with meal intake:\u0000Starchy food:\u0000Eat an amount half of your fist or hand at most\u0000Colorful vegetables:\u0000Eat an amount limited to one fist or hand.\u0000Green vegetables:\u0000Eat an amount limited to 2.5 fists or hands.\u0000Please note: you must combine two types of vegetable together in order to get the total intake limitation.\u0000The author highly recommends the patients to measure their FPG at least several times a quarter, in order to get a\u0000quarterly average FPG value. The other three PPG values can then utilize the formula-based predicted PPG to control\u0000their overall diabetes conditions.\u0000The described method mentioned above in regard to the predicted PPG formula along with the post-meal walking\u0000exercise and carbs/sugar intake amount can help patients control their diabetes without painful and troublesome fingerpiercing glucose measurements. The author has been measuring his glucoses for 8.5 years (3,126 days) with fingerpiercing glucose testing combined with his 10-years of diabetes research work. He hopes this article can provide useful\u0000guidelines to other diabetes patients to take back their lives from this dreadful chronic disease.","PeriodicalId":73657,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical & experimental immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90962600","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}

Acupuncture behaves as a stressor. Its way of approaching the skin, and especially the sensitive mechanoreceptors, fits more in challenging the nociceptors (pain receptors), rather than any other kind of basic skin receptors, such as haptic-stretch-pressure & vibration. This kindling mechanism, this external source of algorithmical conglomerative stress onto the skin, and consequently to other biological systems of the organism which are connected/entangled with it from the embryological phase of the three germ layers, has inevitably a direct link with the autonomic nervous system; the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis with cortisol production, and the sympathoadrenal medullary (SAM) axis which activate the sympathetic nervous system, which dedicates energy to more relevant bodily systems to acute adaptation to stress. The above-mentioned neurobiological mechanisms are the basic major systems that respond to stress, and by extension they can affect through it (stress caused by acupuncture) the immune system.","PeriodicalId":73657,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical & experimental immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89728426","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 use of therapeutic apheresis in pediatric patients, which increasing more and more, has always been restricted by technical difficulties and the low incidence of diseases requiring this kind of treatment. The development of new, more sophisticated membranes and new adsorption technologies allow the most selective separation of plasma components. TA has been successfully introduced in a variety of autoantibody-mediated diseases [2]. The updated information on immunology and molecular biology of different neurological and hematological diseases are discussed in relation to the rationale for apheresis therapy and its place in combination with other modern treatments. The different diseases can be treated by various apheresis methods. Pathogenetical aspects are demonstrated in these diseases, in which they are clarified. TA has been shown to effectively remove the autoantibodies from blood and lead to rapid clinical improvement. For the neurological and hematological diseases, which can be treated with TA, the guidelines of the Apheresis Application Committee (AAC) of the American Society for Apheresis (ASFA) are cited [3, 4].","PeriodicalId":73657,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical & experimental immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78449659","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}
