Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs could reduce arthritis symptoms in some, experts claim - Fox News

Image
Ozempic used to help cure arthritis pain: Report Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss his take on Ozempic being used to cure arthritis pain and why some doctors are warning some medications can affect heat sensitivity.  Popular medications for weight loss and diabetes control could have a surprising bonus benefit, according to some anecdotal reports. Some people with rheumatoid arthritis who use GLP-1 drugs — such as Wegovy and Ozempic — have reported an improvement in the severity and frequency of their arthritic symptoms. It has been "well-established" that autoimmune patients who also have obesity "fare worse" than those who are at a healthy weight, according to Dr. Elizabeth Ortiz, M.D., a Texas-based rheumatologist and clinical adviser at WellTheory, a platform specializing in autoimmune disease treatment. OZEMPIC AND WEGOVY COULD DOUBLE AS KIDNEY DISEASE TREATMENT, STUDY SUGGESTS "Any...

Editorial: From Pathogenic Infections to Inflammation and Disease - the Tumultuous Road of the ‘Cytokine Storm’ - Frontiers

Image
In the last decades, the incidence of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases have dramatically increased threatening the public health systems worldwide. The appearance of several new pathogens causing disease of marked severity, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other retroviruses, arenaviruses, hantaviruses, Ebola virus and coronaviruses, as well as the simultaneous re-appearance of old pathogens including those that cause cholera, plague, severe dengue, and yellow fever, are having a considerable impact on the global public health and the economy (Anderson and Gray, 2014). Currently, it is estimated that over 25% of human mortality worldwide is attributable to infectious diseases, which translates in 15 million deaths per year mainly occurring among children (<5 years of age) from developing countries (Michaud, 2009). Recently, the rapid spread of a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) caused over 200 million of ca...
