Stress and telomere shortening: Insights from cellular mechanisms
Short telomeres confer risk of degenerative diseases. Chronic psychological stress can lead to disease through many pathways, and research from in vitro studies to human longitudinal studies has pointed to stress-induced telomere damage as an important pathway. However, there has not been a comprehensive model to describe how changes in stress physiology and neuroendocrine pathways can lead to changes in telomere biology.
WHAT IS AUTOPHAGY AND HOW DOES IT HAPPEN IN YOUR BODY?
If you have been practicing intermittent fasting for a while, you might have heard that autophagy is one of its many benefits. But what is it and why is it important for your health? What you’ll find in this article: What is autophagy? | How does autophagy happen in...
A Systematic Review to Assess the Impact of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Glycaemia in People with Diabetes Mellitus
Abstract Background and Objectives: Hyperbaric oxygen is a recognised treatment for a range of medical conditions, including treatment of diabetic foot disease. A number of studies have reported an impact of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on glycaemic control in patients...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy alleviates vascular dysfunction and amyloid burden in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model and in elderly patients
Abstract Vascular dysfunction is entwined with aging and in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and contributes to reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF) and consequently, hypoxia. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is in clinical use for a wide range of medical...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Diabetes
Diabetes affects more than 12 million people annually, and the experienced team at Skaggs Chiropractic in Joplin is always seeking the most effective methods to help our patients with diabetes. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) does just that for patients living with...
THE 5 STAGES OF INTERMITTENT FASTING
What is intermittent fasting Fasting is an ancient practice that involves avoiding calories for a period of time. It is a simple way to control your weight that doesn’t require you to follow a specific diet, count calories or measure food. Intermittent fasting...
Telomeres: history, health, and hallmarks of aging
The escalating social and economic burden of an aging world population has placed aging research at center stage. The hallmarks of aging comprise diverse molecular mechanisms and cellular systems that are interrelated and act in concert to drive the aging process. Here, through the lens of telomere biology, we examine how telomere dysfunction may amplify or drive molecular biological processes underlying each hallmark of aging and contribute to development of age-related diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer.
Effects of Neurofeedback on Fibromyalgia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract Background: Fibromyalgia is a chronic widespread pain condition that is associated with sleep disturbances and cognitive impairments. Neurofeedback has been demonstrated to improve pain, sleep quality, and fatigue. However, few studies have examined the...
The effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on neuropathic pain via mitophagy in microglia
Abstract Purpose: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been suggested to palliate neuropathic pain, but the mechanisms involved are not well understood. This study explored the involvement of microglial mitophagy via HBO relative to neuropathic pain therapy. Materials...
