Respiratory viruses constitute a significant cause of illness and death worldwide. virus-associated injuries include oxidative stress, ferroptosis, inflammation, pyroptosis, apoptosis, fibrosis, autoimmunity, vascular injury. Several studies have demonstrated the involvement nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2) in pathophysiology viral infection associated complications. It has thus emerged as pivotal player cellular defense mechanisms against such damage. Here, we discuss impact Nrf2 activation on airway induced by respiratory viruses, including coronaviruses, rhinoviruses, syncytial viruses.

In humans, acute and chronic respiratory infections caused by viruses are associated with considerable morbidity mortality. Respiratory infect airway epithelial cells induce oxidative stress, yet the exact pathogenesis remains unclear. Oxidative stress activates transcription factor NRF2, which plays a key role in alleviating redox-induced cellular injury. The transcriptional activation of NRF2 has been reported to affect both viral replication inflammation pathways. There is complex bidirectional crosstalk between virus pathway because directly or indirectly regulates expression, can reversely hamper spread across tissues. this review, we discuss regulation main viruses, including coronaviruses, influenza syncytial (RSV), rhinoviruses.

Abstract: The potential advantages of plant-based interventions in decreasing the incidence and lessening severity mortality COVID-19 are yet to be widely acknowledged. Nevertheless, recent investigations propose that these could effective. Our publication (part one) features an interventional study which we incorporated foods provided supplementation 3470 elderly patients with multiple comorbidities. We pay close attention precise selection food items, application appropriate processing methods, provision nourishing meals our patients. outcome was highly successful as achieved a zero rate, none experienced worsening conditions or required hospitalization. This second paper presents theoretical framework on mechanisms through supplement can mitigate disease mortality. However, only very recently have experts validated hypotheses. measures methods used address ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic supplements effective may help prevent manage future pandemics.

In 2024, over 775 million cases of COVID-19 were recorded, including approximately 7 deaths, indicating its widespread and dangerous nature. The disease is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which can manifest a wide spectrum symptoms, from mild infection to respiratory failure even death. Neurological such as headaches, confusion, impaired consciousness, have also been reported in some patients. These observations suggest potential invade central nervous system induce neuroinflammation during infection. This review specifically explores relationship between selected neurological diseases multiple sclerosis (MS), ischemic stroke (IS), Alzheimer's (AD).

Viral respiratory infections (VRIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, making them significant public health concern. During infection, viruses, including Influenza virus, SARS-CoV-2, syncytial virus (RSV), trigger an antiviral immune response, specifically boosting the inflammatory response that plays critical role in their pathogenesis. The induced by viruses can be double-edged sword since it initially to protective/reparative from virus-induced injuries. Still, also detrimental host cells tissues.
