AMPs differ in composition [sequence and type of amino acids (AAs)] and structure, which contribute to rapid lysis and have a varied spectrum of antimicrobial activity. AMPs are: peptides (Pps) with alpha-helix structure (i.e., cecropins, magainins, mellitin, etc.); cyclic Pps and ring with several cysteine residues (i.e., defensins, protegrins, etc.); Pps rich in one or another AA (i.e., proline arginine-rich PR39, histidine, glycine, etc.). Most AMPs are characterized by hydrophobic and cationic properties, adopt an amphipathic structure (alpha-helix, spiral beta or alpha-helix / spiral beta), which is essential for antimicrobial activity. AMPs have the potential for therapeutic use in medicine. One of the major concerns of life sciences research is finding new ways to enhance the body’s defense against pathogens. One way is to produce drugs based on AMPs. The AMPs are a class of small Pps that have the ability to destroy pathogens of microbial and viral origin. The mechanisms of action are known only partially and for a small number of AMPs, and the toxic action of AMPs is generally considered to be based on the induction by these molecules in the outer membrane of the pathogen of aqueous pores that facilitate nonspecific ion transfer, which ultimately leads to lysis of the target cell.","PeriodicalId":93468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicine and healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46706222","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}

We were curious about how early philosophers combined the ancient tradition of alchemy with rational thought and reasoning to lay the groundwork for modern scientific disciplines like chemistry and physics. Alchemy, the forerunner of modern chemistry, inspired the development of several scientific principles and experimental procedures that form the cornerstone of empirical science. It has been postulated that Alchemy had philosophical, astronomical, and religious foundations. It went beyond empirical science to grasp the complexities of nature by merging spirituality with experimental observation. Alchemy was obsessed with creating new materials, such as transforming basic metals into valuable metals like gold. In this article, we are going to discuss a scientific approach for the preparation of Electrohomoeopathy remedies via the Cohobation process with the authentication of modern Alchemy. Here we have also discussed Alchemical Cohobation. This article also included a pre-chemistry alchemy technique of multiple distillations, myths, facts, scientific evidence, and philosophy behind tria-prima, the three alchemy primes, and their importance in creating the Electrohomeopathy plant extracts and their potential effects on the human body","PeriodicalId":93468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicine and healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47267789","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 objective was to determine the correlation of clinical, biological, CT and prognosis of severe COVID-19 according to the extent of lung lesions on the chest CT scan. Patients and method: This is a retrospective analytical study carried out in the department of pneumology University Hospital of the Joseph Raseta Befelatanana, Antananarivo, Madagascar for a three-month period from March to May 2021. Results: 78 severe COVID-19 cases met the inclusion criteria, for an incidence of 66.7%. The mean age of our patients was 52.81 ± 16.64 years. Age did not differ for the three CT extension groups (p = 0.60). Male gender, dyspnea, C-Reactive protein elevation correlated with the extent of lung damage (p <0.05). On CT scan, the ground glass image and bilateral involvement were also associated with CT extension of lung lesions (p = 0.03, p = 0.04). The prognosis in terms of mortality was worse in severe COVID-19 patients with disease greater than 26%. The overall death was 6.41%. Conclusion: Factors such as male gender, dyspnea, C-reactive protein, frosted glass and bilateral images of severe COVID-19 patients were correlated with the CT extent of lung lesions. Their understandings would make it possible to predict the unfavorable evolution of these lesions on a CT scan, thus reducing mortality.","PeriodicalId":93468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicine and healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45342549","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}

This report describes the symptom characteristics associated with prescribed treatment regimens (HIV and non-HIV medications) and comorbidities from a cohort of PLWH experiencing symptoms of DSPN who reside in New York City.Methods: Our sample (n=353) included PLWH who were 18 years or older, and with painful lower limb (LL) peripheral neuropathy screened for an ongoing clinical trial to reduce DSPN symptoms using acupuncture/moxibustion. The trial participants completed a screening interview where they reported age, gender, race, ethnicity, HIV status, presence of LL DSPN and DSPN symptoms, current medications, and comorbidities.Results: Of 465 persons screened, 353 provided information for inclusion in this analysis. Seventy-eight percent rated their LL DSPN in the \"severe\" or \"very severe\" discomfort/pain range. Nearly half of those were taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication, such as nonnarcotic analgesics, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants, to manage their DSPN discomfort/pain. Despite the use of OTC and or prescription pain relievers, participants reported insufficient symptom relief.Discussion: Combination Antiretroviral Therapies (CART) effectively control viral load and maintain healthy T-cell levels in individuals with HIV. It has made HIV a chronic disease for many. However, HIV DPSN remains prevalent and has a negative impact on the lives of PLWH. Our findings highlight that, despite the availability and the use of CART, DSPN remains prevalent and not well managed. A critical need exists for the development of effective interventions to manage DSPN symptoms.","PeriodicalId":93468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicine and healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8845087/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39930107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is defined as an encapsulated collection of pus in various areas of the brain. The infectious process spreads from the dental site and occurs in 2 ways: haematogenous route or by contiguity. Treatment should ideally be based on the etiological factor excision, combined with drainage and adjuvant antibiotic therapy. The aim of this article was to report a case of frontal brain abscess of dental origin and to review the literature. Case report: We present the case of a 36-year-old man diagnosed with a brain abscess located in the frontal lobe and caused by a periodontal lesion of the right upper first molar. The final diagnosis was established due to the availability of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Drainage of the pus combined with extraction of the tooth and antibiotic therapy was followed by an excellent recovery. Clinical and radiological features, treatment and follow-up data were documented. A review of the literature using the PubMed database was performed Conclusion: Oral infections can lead to life-threatening infections, such as brain abscesses. Early detection of this condition through correct diagnosis is essential to give the patient the best treatment; in addition, improving of the oral environment and treating oral infections is highly recommended to limit this serious condition.","PeriodicalId":93468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicine and healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45563333","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}

To develop an exercise program targeting elderly individuals unsuited for whole-body exercises, we assessed the effects of facial exercises on the mental health and mood in healthy elderly people. Community-dwelling older adults (N = 75, age range = 65-87 yrs) were randomly divided into a facial exercises group and a wait-listed control group. A facial exercises program of 30 min was given twice a week for 12 weeks. This program consisted of rhythmic facial movement, muscle stretching, facial yoga, and Tanden breathing. The GHQ-12 for mental health were administered to both groups before and after the 12-week study period. In addition, facial expression and EEG were measured. Fifty-three participants completed the protocol. In the intervention group, the GHQ-12, facial expression, and α wave in frontal lobe improved post-intervention. These results suggest that facial exercises are effective in improving the mental health, facial expression, α wave in frontal lobe of elderly people, and that exercises may be useful as a therapeutic modality in this population.","PeriodicalId":93468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicine and healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42564533","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}
