Future directions Maintenance of the airway epithelium through the action of multiple interdependent regenerative zones suggests that a more thorough understanding of progenitor cell types and their behaviour in normal and diseased states may yield important insights into disease pathophysiology. Examples of basic biological questions that...
Cell-based therapies with embryonic or adult stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem cells, have emerged as potential novel approaches for several devastating and otherwise incurable lung diseases, including emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Although initial studies suggested engraftment of...
Exogenous stem or progenitor cells Early studies using bleomycin or radiation-induced lung injury demonstrated the recruitment and engraftment of bone marrow-derived cells within the lung.63–66 However, later studies using lineage markers have demonstrated no evidence of pulmonary repopulation via bone marrow-derived cells.67,68 Many variables of how exogenous stem...
Baths can be hugely beneficial when it comes to stress levels, to the extent that it's important to use aids like the bath song to teach younger generations to make the most of them too. The healing qualities of baths can be improved even further...
The ‘Sandy Hook Connecticut Shooter’ Adam Lanza has now been reported by mainstream media to be taking Fanapt, a prediction I made the morning I watched the news of the shooting while on vacation in Hawaii. Fanapt has a very disturbing history of FDA testing and approval. It also has...
Introduction to Wellness Care by John Lieurance, DC, ND I once had a spiritual teacher who would ask me many introspective questions such as: What's the meaning of life, and many others that would challenge me from an intellectual standpoint. He would never be as interested in...
By John Lieurance, D.C., The conditionally essential amino acid N-acetyl-L-Cysteine has all of the properties of L-Cysteine, but is more water-soluble, and according to the literature and clinical feedback, is more bioavailable than L-Cysteine. It is one of only three sulfur bearing amino acids (the others...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Mammalian life and the bioenergetic processes that maintain cellular integrity depend on a continuous supply of oxygen to sustain aerobic metabolism. Reduced oxygen delivery and failure of cellular use of oxygen occur in various circumstances and if not recognised result in organ dysfunction...
Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Karolinska Hospital, and Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden The paranasal sinuses are major producers of nitric oxide (NO). We hypothesized that oscillating airflow produced by humming would enhance sinus ventilation and thereby increase nasal NO levels. Ten healthy subjects...
