JOINT PAIN AND MOBILITY

Joint Pain

Joint pain is the physical discomfort where two or more bones meet to form a joint, ranging from mild to disabling.

Sometimes called wear-and-tear-arthritis, osteoarthritis is the most common cause of joint pain. It occurs when the lining of  the joints, called cartilage, is worn down. Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, it most commonly affects the knees, hands and hips.

COMMON CAUSES
Joint pain can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include overuse such as heavy physical activity, lack of use, sprains, or strains.

Blood Sugar Levels

What is a healthy blood sugar level?

The U.S. National Institutes of Health considers a normal fasting blood sugar level to be below 99 milligrams per deciliterTrusted Source (mg/dL).

In people with diabetes, these levels will change more. Instead of targeting a specific level, the aim of managing blood sugar is to keep the levels within a healthy range.

The American Diabetes Association recommends target levels of 80 to 130 mg/dL before eating if a person has diabetes. Within 2 hours of eating a meal, blood glucose levels should be less than 180 mg/dL.

​MonkeyPox
Rediscovered Native American remedy kills poxvirus

Herbal medicine used to treat smallpox in the 19th century found to halt viral replication in vitro. 

An old herbal remedy for treating smallpox that is thought to have been used by native Americans in the late 1800s has been rediscovered and found to kill the poxvirus. Smallpox has been eradicated, but the finding offers a possible treatment for poxvirus in the unlikely event of a bioterror attack or increased incidence of similar poxviruses such as monkey pox.  

Smallpox ravaged human populations for thousands of years, but in 1796 Edward Jenner discovered that exposure to cowpox lesions could provide immunity to smallpox. This led to the creation of the first vaccine for a disease. It took some time, but in 1979 the World Health Organization officially declared that smallpox had been eradicated. 
 
An extract of the pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea halted viral replication

Historical sources suggest that in the 1800s, when smallpox still posed a serious threat, the Micmac native Americans of Nova Scotia treated the disease using a botanical infusion derived from the insectivorous plant Sarracenia purpurea, a species of pitcher plant.

Now, Jeffrey Langland at Arizona State University in Tempe, US, and colleagues have conducted in vitro experiments with the herbal extract and found it inhibits replication of the variola virus, the causative agent behind smallpox. 

Although, natural smallpox no longer poses a health threat, there is a remote possibility that unstable states or terrorist groups could have acquired stocks of the virus following the collapse of the Soviet Union, which had developed smallpox as a biological warfare agent.

Vaccinations are still administered to at risk groups including researchers working with poxviruses and members of the US military who could potentially be exposed to the virus through biological warfare. But since the risk is so low for populations at large, it is hard to justify vaccinating everyone, particularly because the vaccine can have serious side effects. Developing therapies is therefore important in order to treat people if a bioterror event does occur. 

’There is much scepticism on herbal medicine but what our results illustrate conclusively is that this herb is able to kill the virus and we can actually demonstrate how it kills the virus,’ says Langland. ’It takes this herb out of the realm of folklore, and into the area of true scientific evidence.’ 

The team made extracts of S. purpurea and found that it was highly effective at inhibiting the replication of the virus in rabbit kidney cells. They then looked at the replication cycle of the virus and found that the herb inhibits mRNA synthesis, halting production of proteins vital for replication. ’Other drugs are being developed against smallpox, but S. purpurea is the only known therapy that will target the virus at this point in the replication cycle,’ says Langland. 

’The extract blocks early transcription appearing to have a distinct mechanism of action from that of two other antivirals currently in clinical trials,’ says Mark Buller, a virologist at Saint Louis University, Missouri, US. ’The results are very compelling, and support the need to further evaluate the purified active ingredient in small animal studies.’ 

’With smallpox, it is obviously impossible to see if this herb is effective in the human body unless a bioterror release of the virus occurs,’ says Langland. ’We are in the process of doing animal studies to confirm our results in at least this type of whole animal system.’
 
"The Micmac (Mi'kmaq) [of Nova Scotia] called this plant Indian Cup Roo. During the early part of this century they used the plant's root to treat tuberculosis. This part of the plant is also believed effective in treating kidney problems, or to relieve indigestion.
​
To prepare the medicine, a small piece of the root is steeped to a cup of water (for at least ten minutes) and taken in small doses."

WHO declares monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern                                                               (July 2022)

​​How is monkey pox treated?
How it is treated. ​The CDC reports that there is currently no proven or safe treatment for monkeypox, and most people recover and survive without any intervention.
​What is monkey pox and how is it transmitted?
Transmission of monkeypox virus occurs when a person comes into contact with the virus from an animal, human, or materials contaminated with the virus. The virus enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), the respiratory tract, or the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth).

​Who is at risk for monkeypox?
Most monkeypox cases have occurred in people aged 20 to 49 years old (87%). One hundred and eleven cases are known to be gay, bisexual, or other men who have sex with men ( GBMSM ).
​What happens if you get monkeypox?
Monkeypox symptoms and signs include headache, skin rash, fever, body aches, chills, swollen lymph nodes, and exhaustion. It produces symptoms similar to smallpox, but milder. The time from infection to the onset of symptoms, which is referred to as the incubation period, can range from five to 21 days.

​How long does monkey pox last?  
The illness typically lasts for 2−4 weeks. In Africa, monkeypox has been shown to cause death in as many as 1 in 10 persons who contract the disease.
