Scientists show that drugs targeting tumor metabolism will not stop natural killer cells | Trinity College Dublin  |  14 June 2018

Excerpt:

‘NK cells are immune cells that play an important role in our defence against cancer, as they can directly kill tumour cells. Once activated, NK cells increase their intake of fuels and generate more energy, which facilitates a boost in their tumour-killing capabilities. The new research shows that activated NK cells do not use glutamine, a fuel commonly used by cancer cells, to generate energy.’

Patients, Power, Participation: How Enrolling in Clinical Trials Can Help Ensure That The Future of Pain Medicine is Now | SKILLFULLY WELL & PAINFULLY AWARE | KATARINA ZULAK  | 7 June 2018

Excerpt:

‘Participants in clinical trials have the opportunity to access cutting-edge therapies before they are made widely available, often at leading medical facilities. Experimental treatments can be appealing to individuals who have failed to benefit from conventional treatments. There is no cost to participate in medical research and health insurance is not required. Additionally, some studies compensate individuals who join the clinical trial.’

OA and your lifestyle
constantly texting?!

#arthritis #osteoarthritis #lifestyle #knucklecracking #texting #highheels #vitaminE

Arthritis Foundation E-news | Lifestyle Factors & Osteoarthritis Outcomes | Five lifestyle factors that may be linked to OA.

Here are five lifestyle factors researchers have studied to see if they’re linked to OA:

  • Besides possibly irritating those around you, can knuckle cracking lead to the disease?
  • If your child is constantly texting, is the development of OA more likely in his or her future?
  • Can wearing high-heeled shoes contribute to an OA diagnosis?
  • Is high-impact, weight-bearing exercise helpful or harmful?
  • Can a diet rich in vitamin E reduce the risk of OA or its progression?

‘Managing your arthritis – and the pain and restrictions that come with it – is much easier if you know what to avoid and what can be beneficial. We want to arm you with useful information that helps put you in control!’

Try This, Not That: JA Complementary Therapies  |  Arthritis Foundation E-newsletter | 6 June 2018

JA Alternative Treatments

Complementary Therapies for JA  |  Try this, not that: find out which therapies to try and which ones to avoid.

Many families turn to complementary therapies to help ease the pain of a child with arthritis.

That can be a good thing – just be sure whatever you’re considering works for your situation.

  • Exercising with free weights and activities like jumping rope can improve both physical and emotional health without increasing pain. But avoid high-impact sports.
  • Relaxation exercises may diminish pain intensity … and they cause no negative side effects.
  • Water therapy is a good way to limber up stiff joints in the morning, and relax tight, aching muscles at bedtime.
  • Massage can relax muscles, lessen pain and improve circulation.

Learn all about complementary therapies for JA.

They may provide you with new methods to help manage your child’s pain.

Excerpt:

‘Signs and symptoms of high blood glucose are often what lead people with undiagnosed diabetes to visit their doctors and, consequently, get diagnosed. But signs and symptoms of high blood glucose can also occur after diabetes is diagnosed and treatment has been started. It is a signal that your diabetes has slipped out of control.’

    • Wil Dubois BS, AAS, CPT, is a diabetes columnist and author of four books about diabetes that have collectively won 14 national and international book awards. He has Type 1 diabetes, and is the diabetes coordinator for a rural nonprofit clinic.

Gallium PET Scans – Into the Unknown  |  Ronny Allan  |  31 May 2018

Excerpt:

‘There’s a lot of excitement about the Gallium 68 PET Scan since it was approved by the US FDA. It’s not new though and has been in use in several countries (mainly Europe) for some time. It’s a ‘nuclear scan’ and can often form part of what is known as a ‘Theranostic Pair’ (i.e. in conjunction with a therapy – read more here).’

‘What good is advanced surgery if we can’t even offer proper homecare?’  |  Anna Bawden and Nicola Slawson | The Guardian  |  30 May 2018

Opening paragraph:

‘Almost 1.2 million people aged over 65 do not receive the support they need with essential daily tasks such as getting washed and dressed or preparing meals, according to Age UK. The perilous state of the domiciliary care sector, which provides support in people’s own homes, is one of the main reasons for this, the charity says.’

“After being, recently, introduced to this advocacy platform I can thoroughly recommend folks joining and making use of the Network to help empower themselves, and those of others.

I have been a fan of MAYO clinic for years so am really grateful to have access to such a great platform, especially not being a US resident but rather from UK.  However, FibroFlutters do have many readers from the US and helping to provide you with safe places to go to online holds as much importance to us as finding safe places for our own UK readers to go to.

There’s access to discussions, webinars & MCSMN Blog  depending on membership selection from Free, or, Premium.  Please note that e-patients and students receive a special rate.

I certainly look forward to using it more, and hopefully making a few new friends along the way.”

Health Hats  |  You say you want a revolution  |  By Danny van Leeuwen  |  27 May 2018

Excerpt:

‘One of the things that Victor said was that reformers are important, but healthcare is not designed for health and wellness, care and kindness. The entrenched forces will not fundamentally change with reform. It needs a revolution, a patient revolution. I’ve never been good at putting other people’s labels on myself – I don’t know if I’m a reformer or a revolutionary. During my professional and now activist career, I’ve seen myself as a catalyst for change – sustainable change that continues when you’re gone.’
