What is Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis? – Causes, Types Therapies and Treatment

Abstract

The most frequent kind of arthritis in children under the age of 16 is juvenile idiopathic arthritis, previously known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Joint inflammation, edema, and stiffness are all symptoms of JIA. Some children may only have symptoms for a few months, while others may have them for years.

Introduction

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis may have major consequences, including growth issues, joint damage, and ocular irritation. Controlling pain and inflammation, enhancing function, and avoiding damage are the main goals of treatment. JIA is somewhat more frequent in women than in men. It is more frequent in children under the age of six or teens. JIA is divided into many categories, each with its own set of symptoms. Knowing which kind you have might help you determine how likely you are to grow out of JIA. It is maybe difficult to manage in some individuals, but in the vast majority of instances, medication will suffice. If you develop arthritis as a side effect of another illness, it’s usually treated similarly to JIA.

Causes

The actual causes of juvenile arthritis, however, remain uncertain. JRA, on the other hand, is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system assaults its cells and tissues. It may be triggered by a variety of factors.

  • The three energies or doshas – Vata, Kapha, and Pitta – are responsible for an individual’s health in Ayurveda. Joint problems are caused by aggravated Vata and Kapha doshas. However, with Amavata, the buildup of ama (toxin) in the body produces joint discomfort and inflammation in addition to Vata aggravation.
  • A viral or bacterial infection might be a trigger in the environment.
  • Vata aggravation and ama development are caused by a variety of factors such as lifestyle and poor dietary habits.
  • Mutations in the immune system lead it to function improperly and target its cells.

Natural therapies for the pain of Juvenile Arthritis (include herbs, spices, and vitamins)

  • Turmeric: It is a yellow powder derived from a similar flowering plant that has anti-inflammatory qualities. Turmeric and curcumin supplements may be beneficial in relieving the pain of a kid with Juvenile Arthritis.
  • Green Tea: Green tea has been used medicinally for ages to decrease inflammation in the body.
  • Cinnamon: It includes cinnamaldehyde and cinnamic acid, which are antioxidants that aim to minimize cell destruction caused by free radicals. When combined with other anti-inflammatory foods and spices, it may help offer a cumulative anti-inflammatory effect as part of natural therapy for Juvenile Arthritis.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Types

Undifferentiated, polyarthritis, juvenile psoriatic arthritis, oligoarthritis, and systemic arthritis are the six forms of JIA.

Exercise & Juvenile Arthritis

Muscle strength and endurance may be reduced in children with Juvenile Arthritis. They may also have a reduction in aerobic and anaerobic capability. During physical exertion, a kid with Juvenile Arthritis may fatigue sooner than their counterparts who do not have arthritis. Studies have demonstrated that exercise training may improve these disorders by increasing aerobic and anaerobic capacity, as well as increasing muscular strength and endurance via resistance training.

Types of Physical Activity

  • Motion-capacity
  • Stretching
  • Strengthening\Cardiovascular

Herbal Remedies for Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia – Bleeding Disorder

Abstract

Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (GT) is an inherited blood clotting disorder which is characterized  by impaired function of specialized cells called as platelets that are essential for blood clotting (coagulation). The symptoms generally include abnormal bleeding and if left untreated for a long time can prove fatal. GT can be managed in a safe and effective manner with the help of Ayurvedic mode of treatment. In this article, lets’ know about this disease in brief and discuss Ayurvedic herbal remedies for the disease.

Introduction

Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia is a bleeding disorder which is characterized by spontaneous bleeding starting from birth. In Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia a person tends to bleed easily, may also present with easy skin bruising, can have frequent nosebleeds (epistaxis) and bleeding gums. Such patients can present with purple or red spots on skin which are usually due to bleeding underneath skin or swelling caused by bleeding within tissues. People with this disorder tend to bleed a lot following injury or surgery. Females with Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia have excessive bleeding during menses and bleed more than usual after child birth. This excessive bleeding can result in extreme blood loss and can be fatal.

Symptoms of Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia

Causes of Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia

This condition is a result of gene mutation. The Mutation in ITGA2B or ITGB3  results in  this condition. This gene is responsible for making two parts (subunits) of receptor protein integrin alphallb/beta3. This protein is abundant on the surface of platelets. Platelets are the small cells which circulate in blood and are an important component for clot formation. During coagulation integrin helps the platelet to combine together. The clot formation protects the body after injury by sealing off the damaged blood vessels and hence bleeding stops.

The gene mutation results in the deficiency of integrin alphallb/beta3. Due to its deficiency the platelets cannot clump together thus resulting in prolonged bleeding.

In some cases of Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia no mutation is seen in integrin alphallb/beta3. In such cases the cause for the condition is not known.

Types of Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia

Type 1:  In this type people have less than 5 percent of integrin alphallb/beta3 levels. This is the most common type.

Type 2: In this type people have 5-20 percent of integrin alphallb/beta3 levels.

Variant type: In this type the body produces an adequate amount of integrin alphallb/beta3 but it is nonfunctional.

Symptoms of Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia

The symptoms in this case include

  • Tendency to bleed starts right after birth or short time.
  • Purple or red spots on skin
  • Bleeding gums

  • In women excessive menstrual bleeding
  • Excessive bleeding during childbirth and after childbirth
  • Intermittent uterine bleeding
  • Blood in urine
  • In severe conditions hemorrhage and this can be fatal.

Treatment of Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia
