The incidence of cancer is increasing worldwide, which is to a large extent related to the population’s increasing lifespan. However, lifestyle changes in the Western world are causative as well. Exercise is intrinsically associated with what one could call a “healthy life”, and physical activity is associated with a lower risk of various types of cancer. Mouse models of exercise have shown therapeutic efficacy across numerous cancer models, at least in part due to the secretion of adrenaline, which mobilizes cells of the immune system, i.e., cytotoxic T and natural killer (NK) cells, through signaling of the β-2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR). Clinical trials aiming to investigate the clinical value of exercise are ongoing. Strikingly, however, the use of β-blockers—antagonists of the very same signaling pathway—also shows signs of clinical potential in cancer therapy. Cancer cells also express β-adrenergic receptors (βARs) and signaling of the receptor is oncogenic. Moreover, there are data to suggest that β2AR signaling in T cells renders the cell functionally suppressed. In this paper, we discuss these seemingly opposing mechanisms of cancer therapy—exercise, which leads to increased β2AR signaling, and β-blocker treatment, which antagonizes that same signaling—and suggest potential mechanisms and possibilities for their combination.

Base Module

Ayurveda is a holistic science and is taken as the base module for other sciences. In Ayurveda, the span of life is described to be determined on the basis of nature of the physique, type of constitution. The aim of Ayurveda is to maintain the proper equilibrium of Dosha, Dhatu, and Mala constituent in order to preserve health in a healthy person and cure a disease in a diseased person. Every medical stream has its own sci-ence in which its matter is developed, evolved and explained. Ayurveda is based on peculiar fundamental principles like Triguna Tridosha theory, Panchamahabhuta theory, Prakriti Ojas, Dhattu, Mala, Agni, Ma-nas, Atma, Samanya Vishesha etc. Among these, Samanya Vishesha principle is one of those which play a key component in Ayurvedic treatment. The term Samanya implies similarity & uniformity or the one which causes increase in substance. While the term Vishesha says about dissimilarity or non-uniformity or the one which causes decreases in substances. According to Ayurveda, the disease occurs in the body ei-ther due to increase or decrease of Doshas & Dhatus which disturb the equilibrium state of body when these Doshas are brought to their equilibrium healthy status is attained. The healthy status is attained through the application of Samanya Vishesha principle. The Samanya Vishesha principle strengthens the Doshas that have become weak (by its similarities) and reduce Doshas which are increased (by its dissimi-larities) causing imbalance. This principle is useful for the recommendation to be given for healthy person and in treating diseases. So, the Samanya & Vishesha Siddhanta play an important role in treating diseases & has become a fundamental principle for Ayurvedic management.

Abstract Background: Individuals aged 70+ were most threatened by COVID-19 and most targeted by shielding recommendations. However, there is limited understanding of the situation of this high-risk population during lockdown. Methods: We derived information via a written self-completion questionnaire sent out to our population-based AugUR study participants (aged 70+, living in/near Regensburg, Germany) shortly after the lift of the curfew in spring 2020 in Bavaria, Germany. This was combined with data from previous AugUR study center visits including medical history assessment, medical exams, and bio-probing, which enabled the comparison of pre- and during-pandemic assessments in the very same individuals. Results: Among 1,850 survey participants (73–98 years; net-response 89%), 74% were at increased risk for severe COVID-19 according to medical conditions (75% extrapolated to the German population aged 70+). Despite 92% have potentially been exposed, only four reported SARS-CoV-2 infection (0.2%). COVID-19 related symptoms were reported by 23%. Regarding lifestyle changes since lockdown, we found no trend towards increased smoking or drinking alcohol, but 34% reported increased sedentary behavior and 29% refrained from medical appointments. Worse QOL was perceived by 38%. Particularly women and the more educated were susceptible to these changes. When comparing lifestyle differences between survey and previous visit, the pattern was similar. Conclusions: Our presented data will help understand the situation of this vulnerable group in the pandemic. While a majority of individuals reported no changes towards a less healthy life style, about one third would benefit from help to sustain a healthy lifestyle when accommodating future strategies.
