Asthma is the main respiratory problem among peoples of the study region. The local peoples in the study area have great knowledge about the medicinal plants The local people of this region have good faith on use...

In the twentieth century, NAD+ research generated multiple discoveries. Identification of the important role of NAD+ as a cofactor in cellular respiration and energy production was followed by discoveries of numerous NAD+ biosynthesis pathways. In recent years, NAD+ has been shown to play a unique role in DNA repair and protein deacetylation. As discussed in this review, there are close interac...

Neuropsychiatric pathologies, including neurodegenerative diseases and neurodevelopmental syndromes, are frequently associated with dysregulation of various essential cellular mechanisms, such as transcription, mitochondrial respiration and protein degradation. In these complex scenarios, it is difficult to pinpoint the specific molecular dysfunction that initiated the pathology or that led to ...

Even though chronic cough (CC) is a bothersome symptom, only a small number of studies have evaluated its specific burden on health-related quality of life (HRQL). The aim of the present study was to assess how the presence of CC interferes with HRQL. A total of 95 outpatients were enrolled during medical consultation at our "Chronic Cough Center". A health status measure (SF-36) and a new HRQL...

Results In clinical cases of asthma, poor sanitation and water supply (p<0.01), low education level (p<0.01), low income (p<0.01), positive family history and low physical activity (p<0.01) were found to be associated with asthma. We also found that low education level (p<0.001,6.75 times), low family income (p<0.001,9.11 times), low personal income (p<0.001,12.5 times), poor sanitation (p<0.01...

In this short report, we reviewed the literature on the consequences of poor compliance in chronic respiratory diseases. Unquestionably, poor compliance is a very significant medical issue in the management of tuberculosis. Poor compliance could cause serious personal and public health problems and is probably the major obstacle to the elimination of tuberculosis. Similarly, important consequen...

Snoring is a significant problem with social and medical manifestations. After snoring has been confirmed, other nocturnal respiratory diseases should be excluded so that the appropriate treatment can be instituted. This chapter addresses the current management of snoring and its treatment.

Limited evidence is available on the association between temperature and years of life lost (YLL). We applied distributed lag non-linear model to assess the nonlinear and delayed effects of temperature on YLL due to cause-/age-/education-specific mortality in Guangzhou, China. We found that hot effects appeared immediately, while cold effects were more delayed and lasted for 14 days. On average...
