Osteoarthritis (OA), a form of arthritis, is a condition associated with aging-induced wear and tear on a joint or joints.
Tne condition is very common in older adults, affecting over 25 million people in the US with no sign of stopping.
According to the University of Porto Medical School, the differences in prevalence and incidence estimates of osteoarthritis (OA), according to the case definition, are in the knee, hip and hand joints(3).
The characteristics of osteoarthritis are aching pain(5), stiffness(6), or difficulty of moving the joint or joints(7). The pain usually gets worse in a change of weather, at night.
In the advanced diseases, the pain can occur even at rest(8).
Today management of osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on pain relief and improved physical function through pharmacological, nonpharmacological, and surgical treatments(4).
Some researchers suggested that OA is not simply a disease related to aging or mechanical stress of joints but rather a “metabolic disorder(70)(71)” interrelated to lipid, metabolic, and humoral mediators(70).
Indeed, OA has been linked not only to obesity(46)(47) but also to other cardiovascular risk factors(72)(73), namely, diabetes(74), dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance(75).
More precisely, the majority of patients with OA also suffer from one or more of below conditions
* Hypertension
According to the University Health Network Research Institute, the economic burden incurred by RA significantly exceeds that related to OA and HBP(76)(77).
* Cardiovascular disease
According to Erasmus University Medical Centre, there is an association of atherosclerosis with osteoarthritis of the knee and hand joints in women(72)(73)(78).
*Peripheral vascular disease
According to Himchan Hospital, patient with due to osteoarthritis are associated with risk of asymptomatic peripheral vascular disease(80). The average vessel wall thickness of the popliteal artery was 1.09 mm in patients with generalized OA, and 0.96 mm in the matched normal reference population(79).
* Congestive heart failure
Hypertension, diabetes, and older age have shown to increased risk of Congestive heart failure modestly(81).
* Renal function impairment
According to the Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust, pain pharmacotherapies such as osteoarthritis (OA) or mixed OA and rheumatoid arthritis may increase the risk of adverse events in patients with concurrent cardiovascular (CV) or renal disease(83).
6. Diabetes
Several epidemiological and experimental data support the hypothesis that diabetes could be an independent risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA)(76)(85).
* Respiratory disease
People with respiratory disease are also at a higher risk to develop osteoarthritis (OA), including chronic cough and bilateral infiltrates on chest roentgenogram(86).
* High serum of cholesterol
There is an association between high serum cholesterol level and both knee and generalized OA, according to the study of 113 females and 133 males with average ages 46 14.2 and 51.54 16.0 years by King Khalid University Hospital(87).
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
On finding a natural compound from healthy food for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, researchers examined the effects of bromelain on patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
The randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial included 47 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of moderate to severe knee OA randomized to 12 weeks of bromelain 800 mg/day or placebo, with a 4-week follow-up.
According to the results from 31 patients completed the trial, including 14 in the bromelain group and 17 in the placebo group, both treatment groups showed clinically relevant improvement in the WOMAC disability subscale only with a mild adverse outcome.
In order to reveal and confirm the effects of bromelain on OA, a joint a randomized, single-blind, active-controlled pilot study. led by the Mahidol University was conducted in patients with OA for 16 weeks.
40 knee OA patients enrolled in the study were randomized to receive oral bromelain (500 mg/day) or diclofenac (100 mg/day).
According to the tested assays,
* At week 4, the improvement of total WOMAC and pain subscales from baseline was observed in both groups, however, two patients in the diclofenac treatment group showed adverse effects that lead to discontinuation of diclofenac.
* At week 16, bromelain treatment group showed a significant improvement of all aspects, including total WOMAC scores (12.2 versus 25.5), pain subscales (2.4 versus 5.6), stiffness subscales (0.8 versus 2.0), and function subscales (9.1 versus 17.9), and physical component of SF-36 (73.3 versus 65.4), compared to baseline values.
* Also compared to the based line, the bromelain-treated group also showed a decrease of plasma MDA and LPS-stimulated PGE2 production,
* Bromelain exerted a similar effect to those of diclofenac after 4 weeks.
Taken altogether, bromelain used alone may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of bromelain in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Yoga In Regulation of Glucose Metabolism
Glucose metabolism is a natural process of our body to convert carbohydrate intake into energy.
Yoga practice may have a positive and profound impact in improved glucose metabolism, thus reducing the risk of early onset of diabetes.
In a prospective, randomized, intervention controlled trial with 90 adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years who met the Rotterdam criteria for PCOS. assigned either to yoga group practiced Surya namaskar, asanas, pranayama, and meditation 1 hour per day each day for 12 weeks or practiced conventional physical exercises, researchers found that
1. Yoga intervention group expressed a similarly significant improvement in fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose compared to control and
2. In homeostasis model assessment, the yoga group showed a strong impact on insulin resistance compared to control
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS) is an endocrinologic disease among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interfere with the function of the normal ovaries and associate to an increased risk for metabolic disorder.
Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) is a method used to measure the levels of insulin resistance and beta-cell function.
After taking into account of other co-founders, Dr.Nidhi R, the lead author said, "Yoga was found to be more effective than conventional physical exercises in improving glucose, lipid, and insulin values, including insulin resistance values, in adolescent girls with PCOS independent of anthropometric changes".
Interestingly, in a study to examine possible changes of brain metabolism due to Yoga meditation with PET scans performed in 8 members of a Yoga meditation group during the normal control state (C) and Yoga meditative relaxation (YMR), scientists indicated that
1. There was no change for intergroup comparison, particularly in specific focal changes or changes in the interhemispheric differences in metabolism
2. However, the ratios of frontal vs. occipital rCMRGlc were significantly elevated during YMR
PET scan used a special dye with radioactive tracers in the imaging test allows your doctor to examine a specific disease in your body.
Frontal vs. occipital rCMRGlc is one of linear ventricular measurement to evaluate the ventricular size in pediatric hydrocephalus patients for glucose metabolic rates in the brain.
Further analysis also suggested that yoga intervention may have a regional glucose metabolism through the expression of a slight increase of frontal rCMRGlc and a more pronounced reduction in primary and secondary visual centers.
More importantly, in a controlled trial within an university-affiliated hospital. 173 Chinese men and women aged 18 or above were assigned to either the yoga intervention group (n = 87) or the control group (n = 86) found that throughout analysis involving the entire study population revealed that the yoga group achieved a greater decline in fasting glucose in compared to control.
After considering other confounders in the study, researchers opinionated that A 12-week Hatha yoga intervention improved glucose and lipid metabolic risk profiles and HRQoL in Chinese adults with and without MetS.
Taking all together, Yoga may be used as a therapeutic intervention in reduced risk of abnormal glucose metabolism, thus reducing the risk of diabetes.

Phytochemical Carotenoids Ameliorates the Risk of Breast Cancer, According to Study
Breast cancer or malignant breast neoplasm is a medical condition caused by cell growth irregularly in the tissue of the breast.
Most cases of breast cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk.
In 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in women in the U.S. alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of women is 1/8.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, accounting to over 24% of all cancers diagnosed every year.
The 5 years survival rate of breast cancer in the localized stage is about 100%.
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), is aggressive cancer occurred in women of any age that grows in sheets instead of lumps and invades nearby skin, leading to the whole breast which suddenly goes red and feels hot, resembling an inflammation
The rare condition was found in only 1-6% of all breast cancer cases in the USA. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) should be treated very promptly.
Most common symptoms of IBC are
* Rapid swelling (a cup size in a few days) sometimes
* Skin changes (pink, red, or dark-colored areas)
* Nipple retraction
* Persistent itching, skin hot to touch
* Initially resembles mastitis
* Breast skin ulcers (later stage of IBC)
How danger is IBC? Dr. Ana M. Gonzalez-Angulo, the lead scientist wrote, " (According to the results of the study), the median follow-up was 5.8 years (range, 0.3–23.8 years). There were 238 recurrences and 236 deaths (compared to 398 patients with IBC were treated between 1974 and 2005). The median recurrence-free survival (RFS) duration was 2.3 years and the median overall survival (OS) time was 4.2 years".
Carotenoids is a class of mainly yellow, orange, or red fat-soluble pigments, including lycopene and carotene, found abundantly in ripe tomato, pumpkins, carrots, corn, and daffodils.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of cancer, researchers examined the protective role of carotenoids against the onset of breast cancer.
The study included a total of 521 women with breast cancer and age-matched controls (5-year interval) selected from three teaching hospitals in Guangzhou, China.
According to the chemical analysis, phytochemicals α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene and lutein/zeaxanthin are found in serum carotenoids,
* Serum α-carotene, β-carotene, lycopene, lutein/zeaxanthin are associated inversely with the risk of breast cancer.
* The relative odds ratio for the highest quartile of serum concentration compared with the lowest quartile were 0·44.
* More precisely, the OR for α-carotene was.44, β-carotene was 0·27 and lycopene was .41 and lutein/zeaxanthin was 0·26.
* β-cryptoxanthin, one of the major compounds was not significant association with the risk for breast cancer.
Based on the stratified analysis, researchers found that serum α-carotene, β-carotene, lycopene and lutein/zeaxanthin were also inversely associated with breast cancer risk among premenopausal women and among all subtypes of ER or PR status.
The results strongly suggested that all chemical compounds in the class of carotenoids work synergistically to decrease the risk of cancer among women.
Dr. Yan B, the lead scientist, after taking other factors into account said, "The results suggest a protective role of α-carotene, β-carotene, lycopene, and lutein/zeaxanthin, but not β-cryptoxanthin, in breast cancer risk.".
Taken altogether, carotenoids may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of carotenoids in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Yoga Posture Practice for a Healthy Pregnancy and Outcome
Posture is a state of holding the body still in a specific position, such as standing and sitting.
Yoga, the ancient practical technique for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been best known for people in the Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.
In the concerns of the adverse effect of yoga posture in pregnant women, researchers at the Jersey Shore University Medical Center filed the study of 25 healthy pregnant women with 10 assigned to regular yoga practice, 8 to familiar with yoga, and 7 with no yoga experience, matching age, race, body mass index, gestational age, and parity in each group, researchers found that
1. There was no change in maternal heart rate, temperature, pulse oximetry(the proportion of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood in a pulsating vessel), or fetal heart rate
2. The fetal heart rate across all 26 postures was normal.
3. There were no falls or injuries during the total cumulative 650 poses
Furthermore, after taking into account of other confounders researchers insisted that yoga posture also do not express a decreased fetal movement, contractions, leakage of fluid, or vaginal bleeding in the 24-hour follow-up.
Yoga postures have been found to ease back pain, indigestion, stress, and other pregnancy-related issues and to help you get smoothly through the next nine months.
However, some researchers suggested that some yoga postures must be avoided during pregnancy for the safety of mother and baby, such as inversions and prone postures which may have potential in twisting your torso and close in on your belly, pressuring the belly,.....
Pregnant women should discuss with their doctors before taking any class of yoga.
In support of yoga posture efficacy in reduced certain complications during pregnancy, Dr. Martins RF the lead author and colleagues at the UNICAMP School of Medicine, conducted a randomized controlled trial with 60 pregnant women (age range, 14-40 years) with report of lumbopelvic pain at 12 to 32 weeks of gestation from June 2009 to June 2011 assigned to the yoga group, practicing exercises guided by this method, and the postural orientation group, performing standardized posture orientation according to instructions provided in a pamphlet, suggested that
1. Yoga group expressed a significant improvement of median pain score in compared to postural orientation group.
2. Both groups showed a decreased response in relation to posterior pelvic pain provocation tests and a gradual reduction in pain intensity during 10 yoga sessions.
After taking into account of other co-founders, researchers postulated that although yoga group displayed a high score in reduced pain as indicated by the pain provocation tests, standardized posture orientation may also be considered as another form of exercise in improved pregnancy outcome.
Indeed, according to Bec Conant, prenatal yoga instructor at Om Births and birth doula in Boston, (Yoga helps) women to develop strength, flexibility, and confidence throughout their pregnancy and post-partum.
More interestingly, in the study of 335 women of 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy attending the antenatal clinic at Gunasheela Surgical and Maternity Hospital in Bangalore, India, assigned to either (n=169)yoga postures and breathing, and meditation group and (n=166) or control group, researchers found that yoga postures and breathing, and meditation group showed a higher birth weight and gestational age at delivery as well as lowering pregnancy complications such as isolated intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) (p < 0.003) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) with associated IUGR (p < 0.025) in compared to control.
More importantly, there was no report of significant adverse effects noted in the yoga group.

Herbal Turmeric Ameliorates Symptoms of Biliary Dyskinesia, Researchers Say
Biliary dyskinesia is a medical disorder associated with the gallbladder and sphincter of oddi affecting the biliary system to facilitate the normal flow of the bile.
Some researchers suggested that the condition is a symptom of bladder disease such as cholecystitis, gallstone or pancreatitis, rather than being a disease itself.
Mose common symptom is pain on the right upper quadrant where the gallbladder located.
However, some patients may also experience the symptom of pain that does not stop with medication, including pain in the under the ribs and in the back right shoulder blade.
Other patients may also experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting, indigestion, bloating and belching.
If you have experience persistently aforementioned pain that can be relieved by medication, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.
The cause of biliary dyskinesia is unknown. However, researchers do know that people who are in older age, obesity group, and female gender are at a higher risk of the condition.
Believe it or not, women who are or who have been pregnant, taking birth control pills or in their menopausal years are at substantial risk of biliary dyskinesia developing compared to others.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of biliary dyskinesia, researchers investigated the turmeric effect on the right upper abdominal pain in biliary dyskinesia patients.
74 patients with the condition were selected into the trial, randomly assigned to either received Cholagogum (dried extracts from Schöllkraut and Curcuma) (39 patients) or placebo (37 patients) for 3 weeks.
According to the tested assays, dumpy and colicky pain was more rapid during the first treatment week in Cholagogum F group compared to placebo.
However, both groups exerted similar effects in reducing the feeling of being filled up, food intolerance, nausea, vomiting, meteorism, during the whole treatment period.
There are no side-effects in the treatment group.
In other words, dried extracts from Schöllkraut and Curcuma inhibited the symptoms of biliary dyskinesia, without inducing any side effects.
Dr. Niederau C the lead scientist after taking into account co and confounders said, "The study presents the first solid indication that extracts from Schöllkraut/Curcuma (Cholagogum F Nattermann) which have widely been used in daily practice for many decades have beneficial effects on pain due to biliary dyskinesia".
Taken altogether, turmeric used alone or combined with another remedy may be considered supplements for the treatment of the symptoms of biliary dyskinesia,, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Yoga in Regulated Lipid Metabolism
Yoga therapy may have a profound effect in improved lipid metabolism, thus reducing the risk of early onset of dyslipidemia, some studies suggested.
Lipid metabolism is a natural process of our body in break down or storage of fats for energy after consumed food.
Yoga, the ancient technique for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been best known for people in the Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.
In a self-as-control study of 36 male healthy volunteers between the age group of 30-58 years assigned to yoga therapy with a validated questionnaire and divided into Vata-Pitta (n = 16) and Pitta-Kapha (n = 20) groups, researchers indicated that
1. Group with Vata-Pitta (V-P) displayed a significant decrease in the levels of TC, LDL (p < 0.001) and significant increase in HDL (p < 0.01) in compared to While, Pitta-Kapha (P-K) group with significant decrease in TC (p < 0.001), TG (p < 0.01), LDL (p < 0.001) and VLDL (p < 0.05) levels.
2. In compared to the P-K group, the levels of baseline levels of TC, TG and VLDL were lower in V-P group
The result showed that both yoga intervention have had a positive effect on promoted lipid metabolism but lesser in the Pitta-Kapha group.
Dr. Doddoli S, the led author said, "yoga practices can effectively regulate lipid metabolism and total body energy expenditure with reference to specific constitutional type".
Additionally, in a prospective, randomized, interventional controlled trial recruited 90 adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years met the Rotterdam criteria for PCOS assigned to yoga group practiced Surya namaskar, asanas, pranayama, and meditation 1 hour per day each day for 12 weeks and group practiced conventional physical exercises acted as control, after taking into account of other confounders, researchers suggested
1. Both groups reported a significant effect on fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose, but significantly different in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.
2. Yoga group expressed a positive effect in all aspects of lipid metabolism
Further analysis, researchers insisted, "(Yoga is) more effective than conventional physical exercises in improving glucose, lipid, and insulin values, including insulin resistance values, in adolescent girls with PCOS independent of anthropometric changes".
More importantly, in the investigation of yoga therapy in reduced risk lipid peroxidation, scientists postulated that yoga practice decreased oxidative stress through the expression of lower concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, involving autoxidative alterations of fats and oils.
Taking all together, yoga not only have a profound effect in reduce levels of bad cholesterol but also improved lipid metabolism in reduced overexpression of lipid peroxidation.

Phytochemical Betacyanins, the Best Chemo-Drugs Enhancer
Chemo-drugs are a class of conventional medicine used for the treatment of cancers. including 5-fluorouracil, 6-mercaptopurine, cytarabine, gemcitabine, and methotrexate.
Compared to other treatments, chemotherapy targets cancer's specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival.
Chemo drugs have been found to improve the survival rate of cancer patients. However, they also induce significant side effects.
Most common side effects of chemo-drugs are fatigue, hair loss, easy bruising, and bleeding. infection, anemia (low red blood cell counts) nausea and vomiting, appetite changes and constipation.
The side effects of chemo drugs are the results of damage to the healthy blood-forming cells in the bone marrow, hair follicles, and cells in the mouth, digestive tract, and reproductive system.
According to the American Cancer Society, some chemo drugs have also been found to damage cells in the heart, kidneys, bladder, lungs, and nervous system.
Therefore, for patients who are at a higher risk of severe symptoms, medicines are taken with the chemo. Sometimes they are the must to help protect your body’s normal cells.
Conventionally, most chemo drugs side effects go away fairly quickly, but some may take months or even years for the symptoms to go away completely.
However, chemo-drugs that cause long-term damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys, or reproductive organs are irreversible.
Betacyanins are phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments, belongings to the group of betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.
With an aim to find a chemical compound that enhances the chemo drug efficacy and reduces the chemotoxicity, researchers examined the extract of red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.), the FDA approved red food color E162, in the development of multi-organ tumors in experimental animals.
By comparing the cytotoxic effect of the red beetroot extract with an anti-cancer drug, doxorubicin (Adriamycin) in the androgen-independent human prostate cancer cells (PC-3) and in the well-established estrogen receptor-positive human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), researchers found that
* Both doxorubicin and the beetroot extract exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect in both PC-3 and MCF-7cancer cell lines.
* Doxorubicin, at the concentration of 29 µg/m., completely inhibited the growth of the PC-3 cells in three days.
* Although the cytotoxicity of the beetroot extract was significantly lower compared to doxorubicin, the extract continued to decrease the growth rate of the PC-3 cells (3.7% in 3 days vs. 12.5% in 7 days) at the same concentration.
In other words, both beetroot extract and Doxorubicin exerted a significant cytotoxic activity against the tested cancer cell line. However, the efficacy of beetroot extract is lower compared to those of Doxorubicin.
According to the chemical analysis, betacyanin was found to play an important role in the cytotoxicity exhibited by the red beetroot extract.
Moreover, betaxanthins and betacyanins used in combination with conventional anticancer drugs were found to reduce the chemo drug toxicity and overcome the multidrug resistance of cancer cells.
Based on the finding, researchers concluded betacyanins used alone or combined with other phytochemicals or chemo drug to block the onset of the proliferation of tumor cells.
Taken altogether, betacyanins found in beetroot extract used alone or combined with conventional anti-cancer medicine to enhance the chemo-drugs efficacy and reduce chemotoxicity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of betacyanins in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
