The episode of Optimal Health Weekly we discuss Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease , a lung disease that can cause breathing difficulties. It is a progressive disease that worsens over time, and it can be caused by factors such as smoking or exposure to air pollution. The podcast covers the symptoms, diagnosis, and new treatment options for COPD, using stem cells, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation. It also highlights the importance of early detection and smoking cessation in managing COPD. There is a new hope on the horizon. Stem cell therapy is a new alternative treatment for COPD that has shown promising results in clinical trials. Stem cells have unique ability to transform into different types of cells in the body. They have the potential to repair damaged lung tissue and promote pulmonary healing. In stem cell therapy for COPD, stem cells are harvested from the patient's bone marrow or blood or taken from cord tissue then cultured and purified before being injected into the patient's system. Once the cells home to the lungs, the stem cells can differentiate into healthy lung tissue, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. One of the main advantages of stem cell therapy is that it is a minimally invasive procedure. Patients typically experience little to no discomfort during the procedure and can return to their normal activities shortly afterward. Another advantage of stem cell therapy is that it has few side effects. In clinical trials, patients who received stem cell therapy reported few adverse events, and those that did occur were mild and transient. This is in contrast to traditional treatments for COPD, such as steroids and bronchodilators, which can cause significant side effects. Stem cell therapy is not yet widely available for COPD patients, but several clinics around the world are offering the treatment on a limited basis. The cost of the treatment can vary depending on the clinic and the country where it is performed, but it is generally not covered by insurance.

In this episode of Optimal Health Weekly we discuss Heart disease prevention and new treatment options for coronary artery atherosclerosis. Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, and coronary artery disease is one of its most common forms. Coronary artery disease occurs when the blood vessels that supply the heart with oxygen and nutrients become narrow or blocked due to the buildup of plaque, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart. This can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, heart attack, and even death. Therefore, preventing and treating coronary artery disease is crucial for maintaining heart health and reducing the risk of heart-related complications. Understanding these risk factors can help individuals make lifestyle changes and take preventive measures to reduce their risk of developing coronary artery disease. Lifestyle changes are often the first line of defense against heart disease. Several changes can help improve heart health and for some patients stem cells therapy can help reduce the risk of CHF . In addition to lifestyle changes, medications can also be used to prevent heart disease and manage risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

Welcome to the first show of 2023. In this episode of Optimal Health Weekly we discuss the the latest advancements in multiple sclerosis research. Using a novel strategy, scientists have isolated signalling molecules that control the activation of specific subsets of astrocytes, which are implicated as the primary inflammatory drivers in multiple sclerosis (MS). FIND-seq is a new technique that allows for the isolation and comprehensive gene expression analysis of single cells within a sample based on their expression of a specific gene or set of genes. Using cells from a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, scientists discovered that the proteins NR3C2 and NCOR2 can suppress the activity of disease-promoting astrocytes by inhibiting the movement of the XBP1 protein. Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in the brain may be mitigated through the manipulation of these molecules. Researchers looked at brain tissue from people with MS to back up their findings. A decrease in NR3C2 levels and indicators of decreased NR3C2-NCOR2 signalling was found in astrocytes compared to healthy tissue. Together, these results indicate that disease-promoting astrocyte activities that contribute to CNS pathology are under the control of the equilibrium between XBP1 and NR3C2-NCOR2 signalling. To combat neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, inhibiting NR3C2 and NCOR2 may be a promising new treatment option for MS and related disorders.

In this episode of Optimal Health Weekly we discuss the Ice Bucket Challenge funding research for ALS. ALS or or Lou Gehrig’s disease is a nervous system disease that impacts nerve cells that control our voluntary muscle movement. For most patients, symptoms do get worse over time, resulting in respiratory failure. Remember the “Ice Bucket Challenge” in 2015? People around the world were dropping buckets full of ice water on their heads and donating money to support the good cause. The IceBucket challenge was started by people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease to help raise awareness for the condition. The viral social media trend also raised $215 million dollars in donations. The ALS association invested some of the donation money into developing and trialling a new therapy for ALS. This year, the Food and Drug Administration approved stem cell therapy clinical trials to treat ALS. Stem cells along with Biologic ALS treatments , can add nearly eighteen months onto patients’ lives. Risk for the first hospitalization was measured at a 54% decrease in those receiving the therapy. These were very significant markers of disease progression. While people living with ALS are excited about the approval, some experts believe it was green lit too soon and without scrutiny.

In this episode of Optimal Health Weekly we discuss the latest advancements in Parkinsons disease. Parkinson's disease or "PD" is a progressive disease that affects the nervous system and the parts controlled by the nerves. Symptoms often start slowly. The first symptom may be a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are also common, but the disorder may also cause stiffness or slowing of movement The mainstay surgical treatment for movement disorders like Parkinson's is deep brain stimulation, or DBS. This involves surgically implanting two leads into the brain, targeting specific basal ganglia structures. A neurostimulator, much like a cardiac pacemaker, is attached to these leads. New Research at UC San Diego is examining the disease. The scientists are studying handwriting movements, cognition, and the disease's causes, as well as conducting clinical trials of stem cell therapy for treating Parkinsons. Patients with the symptoms of Parkinson's disease have gradually diminished motor function, increasing postural instability, and gait freezing. Fortunately, dopamine replacement therapy can treat these symptoms for years, allowing patients to lead almost normal lives. It is important to note that the prevalence of Parkinson's disease continues to rise, with one to two percent of individuals over the age of 65 infected. The first signs of the disease are tremors and difficulty getting out of a chair. The symptoms also tend to decrease the amount of swinging of the arms and can be more noticeable on one side than the other. They may lose their facial expressions and animation, and they will have difficulty maintaining eye contact or speaking clearly.

In this episode of Optimal Health Weekly we discuss diabetes. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation. Night owls may be more prone to heart disease and diabetes than early birds because their bodies are less able to burn fat for energy. The findings may help explain why night owls are at greater risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and may help doctors to identify patients early on who are more likely to develop the conditions. People who rise early rely more on fat as an energy source, and are often more active in the day, than those who stay up later, meaning fat may build up more easily in night owls, the scientists found. The team divided 54 obese middle-aged adults into early birds and night owls, depending on their answers to a questionnaire on sleeping and activity habits. They monitored the volunteers’ activity patterns for a week and tested their bodies’ fuel preferences at rest and while performing moderate or high-intensity exercise on a treadmill. Researchers describe how early birds were more sensitive to blood levels of the hormone insulin and burned more fat than night owls while at rest and during exercise. The night owls were less sensitive to insulin and their bodies favored carbohydrates over fat as an energy source. Night owls are reported to have a higher risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease when compared with early birds. A potential explanation is they become misaligned with their circadian rhythm for various reasons, but most notably among adults would be work. The findings could affect discussions around the health risks of night-shift work and even changing the clocks to suit daylight hours. If we promote a timing pattern that is out of sync with nature, it could exacerbate health risks, Whether dietary patterns or activity can help attenuate these is an area we hope becomes clear in time.

In this episode of Optimal Health Weekly we discuss common Autoimmune diseases that can produce a wide range of symptoms, depending on the stage. Depending on the kind of immune system dysfunction, either abnormally low activity or high activity may occur. Overactive immune systems cause tissue damage and destruction by attacking healthy cells (autoimmune diseases). Diseases that weaken the immune system leave patients more susceptible to infection. Autoimmune disease get diagnosed when the body's natural defense system can't tell the difference between your own cells and foreign cells, causing our own body to mistakenly attack otherwise normal cells. There are more than 82 types of autoimmune diseases that affect a wide range of body parts. Antibodies may be produced by the immune system in response to an unidentified trigger, but instead of targeting infections, they may begin attacking healthy human tissue. In most cases, medications prescribed for autoimmune illnesses aim to dampen the body's immunological response.

In this episode of Optimal Health Weekly we discuss the latest advancements in spinal cord injuries. Our guests specialize in spinal injuries. The main cause of spinal cord injury is a sudden traumatic blow to the back, such as a fall. Another cause is a gunshot wound or a knife wound. In either case, the spinal cord is damaged in the immediate area, and subsequent swelling, inflammation, and fluid may accumulate. The goal of treatment of spinal cord injury is to minimize the damage caused by both primary and secondary injuries. Initial treatment involves immobilizing the spine to limit further injury, which can be achieved with a brace or hard collar. A physician may administer IV fluids and medications to help maintain blood pressure. In some cases, oxygen or bone graft may be required to support the spinal cord. Most recently stem cell treatments are becoming standard for primary spinal cord injuries. Functional electrical stimulation, which involves the use of electrodes placed on the skin, can help patients regain strength and range of motion Depending on the type of spinal cord injury, rehabilitation may be necessary. The central nervous system has neuroplasticity, meaning that it is able to regain many functions after spinal cord injury. Several studies have shown that FES can improve recovery from spinal cord injury.

In this episode of Optimal Health Weekly we discuss brain strokes. Our guest is a therapist who specializes in the treatment of brain stroke can help stroke survivors regain their former patterns of thinking and emotional responses. Occupational therapists can help people cope with the loss of sensory functions, which may result in weakened muscle tone. They can help patients regain their motor skills. These therapists can also help patients adjust to the loss of emotion. This article focuses on occupational therapy. Ischemic Stroke vs Hemorrhagic Stroke After a thorough physical examination and history, a clinical diagnosis of a stroke is made. A healthcare professional should be able to recognize the symptoms of a stroke within an hour. In most cases, a stroke can be life-threatening if there is a haemorrhage into the brainstem or surrounding tissue. Who Are at Risk for Stroke? A stroke specialist may perform a physical examination and history to determine the cause of the symptoms. A speedy diagnosis is essential to limiting the damage to brain tissue. During a physical exam, the healthcare professional will ask the patient's medical history, including a history of slurring words or speech since the evening before. If the symptoms persist for more than an hour, a physician may consider a surgical procedure to repair the blood vessel. An early diagnosis of a stroke is crucial for the recovery. The sooner a person is diagnosed with a stroke , the better. A healthcare professional will learn the patient's history and determine whether or not they have been slurring their words for the last hour or since the stroke. Regardless of the location, if symptoms resolve within 24 hours, the patient is considered to be suffering from a transient ischemic attack.

What Is Acute Kidney Failure? Acute renal failure is when your kidneys stop working suddenly. Nephrologists sometimes call it acute renal failure compared to chronic kidney disease acute faulure can happen over just a few hours or days. Acute kidney failure isn’t always permanent but requires immediate attention. If you get treatment right away and don’t have other serious health problems the kidneys could go back to working normally. Kidney Treatment - No Dialysis & No Transplant This week on Optimal Health Weekly , We talk about How to prevent kidney failure, new treatment options to avoid dialysis, reverse kidney disease & IgA Nephropathy naturally. The main job of our kidneys is to filter waste out of your blood. They also remove extra fluid from the blood which becomes urine and also to control blood pressure. Kidneys help make red blood cells. They regulate electrolytes (a type of nutrient) and activate vitamin D, too. Kidneys don’t work well when they’re damaged. This could happen because of another health condition, like diabetes. A decrease in kidney function that happens over a longer period of time is called chronic kidney failure (CKD) Links from the show: https://www.kidneyfund.org/all-about-kidneys/kidney-failure-end-stage-kidney-disease-eskd-or-end-stage-renal-disease-esrd https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/kidney-disease/iga-nephropathy https://stemcellthailand.org/therapies/renal-failure-kidney-disease/ https://www.healthline.com/health/kidney-failure Previous shows 1 - Weekly Wellness Talk Ep 1 2 - A Brief Introduction To the Risks and Benefits of Intermittent Fasting 3- This Weeks Conversation: Confronting Alzheimer's Disease & the impact of opening research 4 - A Healthy You: Small steps can make a big difference in preventing and treating heart disease 5 - Chronic Liver Disease its Symptoms, Stages, Types & Treatment Options Today 6 - New Outbreaks of Lung Injuries Associated with the Use of E-Cigarette, or Vaping, Products 7 - Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis…

This week we discuss the Growing Outbreak of Lung Injury from E-Cigarettes and Vaping. The CDC said that vitamin E acetate may be behind the rise of deadly lung disease linked to vaping. The symptoms are most common in men, especially younger men. The disease has put major e-cigarette companies under scrutiny. Lung injuries and deaths linked to the use of e-cigarettes, or vaping products, have continued to rise in recent years. The US has an estimated 10 million e-cigarette users in the country, but weekly updates on the CDC website make it clear that the group of people affected is very specific . The outbreak appears to be largely among younger men: 65% of patients are male and the average age is 22. Almost half (47%) are under 21. It's unknown if patients with a history of lung or heart disease are at higher risk for severe complications of influenza or other respiratory viral infections if they are infected simultaneously or after recovering from lung injury. Because symptoms are similar to those of flu and other respiratory illnesses including COPD , dry cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, fatigue, and hazy spots on an X-ray. The term “popcorn lungs” is the term to describe bronchiolitis obliterans , a rare type of lung disease where the tiniest airways called bronchioles are inflamed.
