Abstract: The dynamics and thermodynamics of gas flow in human respiratory system is discussed. Approximating the time dependence change of intrapulmonal pressure in a harmonic law the characteristic timescales for breathing process, as well as the work and the heat loss rate by respiratory system are estimated. The role of surfactants in breathing of warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals is discussed.

Abstract: Bone disorder like osteoporosis is an important risk factor for fragility fractures. The main objective of this study was to find the potential of Consciousness Energy Healing based vitamin 3 and DMEM medium on bone health. The test items (viz. vitamin D3 and DMEM), were divided into two parts. One part of each sample received the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment by Cathryn Dawn Nykvist and those samples were labeled as the Biofield Energy Treated (BT) samples, while the other parts of each sample were denoted as the untreated test items (UT). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen, and bone mineralization activities were performed to assess bone health in human bone osteosarcoma cells (MG-63). The test samples were found as safe in the tested concentrations by MTT assay. ALP was significantly increased by 88.68% and 166.1% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item and BT-DMEM + UT-Test item, respectively at 10µg/mL than the UT-DMEM + UT-Test item group. Moreover, the ALP level was significantly elevated by 51.99% and 58.32% in the BT-DMEM + UT-Test item and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item, respectively at 100µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Collagen was significantly increased by 135.60%, 149.72%, and 95.90% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item, BT-DMEM + UT-Test item, and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item groups, respectively at 100µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Further, the collagen level was significantly increased by 83.43% in the BT-DMEM + BT-Test item group at 10µg/mL, while 43.00% and 82.81% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item groups, respectively at 50µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Besides, the percent of bone mineralization was distinctly increased by 103.28%, 120.78%, and 84.26% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item, BT-DMEM + UT-Test item, and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item groups, respectively at 1µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Further, percent of bone mineralization was distinctly increased by 104.41% and 81.71% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item and BT-DMEM + UT-Test item group at 0.1µg/mL, respectively compared to the untreated group. Overall, the Biofield Energy Treated vitamin D3 was significantly improved the bone health parameters and it could be a powerful alternative nutraceutical supplement to combat vitamin D3 deficiency and fight against various bone related problems including rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, Paget’s disease, bone and joint pain, low bone density, bone fractures, osteoma, chondrodystrophia fetalis, stress management and prevention, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and anti-aging by improving overall health.

Abstract: POEMS syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome characterized by polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes. The diagnosis of this disease is often challenging due to its rarity and its multisystemic involvement. Isolated adrenal tuberculosis is also a rare disease which is also difficult to diagnose. Therefore it is incredibly challenging to diagnose a patient with POEMS syndrome when he has isolated adrenal tuberculosis. In this report, we describe a 43-year-old man suffering from POEMS syndrome with right adrenal tuberculosis. His symptoms were very complicated and initially we misdiagnosed him with endocrinal disturbances and the adverse effects of antituberculosis drugs. It was not until we accumulated enough evidences of POEMS syndrome that we could make the final diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of POEMS syndrome with isolated adrenal tuberculosis.

Abstract: To analyze the echocardiographic features of non-compaction of the ventricular myocardium (NVM) and evaluate the diagnostic value of echocardiography in NVM. 34 patients with clinically diagnosed cardiac insufficiency and cardiac arrhythmia were examined by multi-slice scan with GE vivid 7 and Philips IE33 color Doppler sonography. The echocardiographic findings were NVM. Echocardiographic features of NVM were summarized and the distribution characteristics of the lesion area were analyzed. It was found that echocardiography in all 34 patients had obvious characteristics. The myocardium at the lesion site was divided into 2 distinct layers. The outer layer was thin and dense, and the inner layer was thicker, consisting of rich trabeculae and deep recesses with different sizes, which tended to occur in the apical and lateral walls. Color Doppler ultrasound can detect blood flow in the recess and interconnect with the heart cavity. 34 patients were involved in varying degrees of valvular regurgitation of mitral, tricuspid and aortic valves. 29 patients had left ventricular dysfunction, 17 patients with complete left bundle branch block, 12 patients with premature ventricular contractions, and 7 patients with atrial fibrillation. To be concluded, NVM has typical echocardiographic features. Echocardiography can be diagnosed without noticeable symptoms, and it is the most convenient method for diagnosis of NVM.
