Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction01:24

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction

Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of fluid...
Chronic Inflammation: Introduction01:12

Chronic Inflammation: Introduction

Chronic inflammation is a prolonged, dysregulated immune response that persists for weeks to years when the inciting stimulus is difficult to eradicate or when self‑antigens drive ongoing reactivity. Morphologically, it is defined by mononuclear cell infiltration, progressive tissue destruction, and concurrent attempts at healing via angiogenesis and fibrosis. Compared with acute inflammation, edema is less prominent while cellular infiltration predominates; triggers include persistent...
Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction01:19

Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder and a leading cause of neurological disability in young adults.EpidemiologyMS commonly begins between 20 and 40 years of age and is twice as common in women. Its exact cause remains unclear, but genetic susceptibility contributes, with higher risk in first-degree relatives and identical twins. A greater...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Introduction01:26

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Introduction

Inflammatory bowel disease is a group of chronic disorders marked by recurrent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract due to an abnormal immune response against gut microflora. This leads to tissue damage. The two main forms are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.Crohn’s DiseaseCrohn’s disease is a relapsing inflammatory disorder that can affect any part of the GI tract, from the mouth to the anus. It involves all layers of the bowel wall (transmural) and shows “skip lesions” in which...

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology and Immunology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Autoimmune Diseases

Background:

  • Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) was identified by Swedish ophthalmologist Henrik Sjögren, initially characterized by dry eyes, dry mouth, and arthritis.
  • Recent studies reveal SS is a highly prevalent autoimmune disease, ranking second only to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the US.
  • A deeper understanding of SS is crucial due to its significant prevalence and systemic complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of Sjögren's Syndrome.
  • To explore the prevalence, manifestations, mechanisms, genetics, diagnostics, and treatments for SS.
  • To integrate Ayurvedic insights for a holistic management approach.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on Sjögren's Syndrome prevalence and characteristics.
  • Analysis of diagnostic methods and current treatment options.
  • Inclusion of traditional Ayurvedic perspectives on SS symptoms and management.

Main Results:

  • Sjögren's Syndrome is more prevalent than previously thought, affecting a significant portion of the population.
  • The review covers key aspects of SS, from its underlying mechanisms to therapeutic strategies.
  • Ayurvedic viewpoints offer supplementary insights into managing SS symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Sjögren's Syndrome is a common autoimmune disorder requiring comprehensive understanding and management.
  • Integrated approaches combining conventional and traditional medicine, like Ayurveda, may enhance patient care.
  • Further research into holistic management strategies for SS is warranted.
