Is More Scrutiny and Integration Needed? Narrative Overview of Shoulder Osteoarthritis Research as Applied to Older Adults: 1950-2025



Osteoarthritis, a chronic health condition induces high degrees of disability and health costs in all parts of the globe and is presumably very limiting and disabling if the disease manifests at the shoulder joint despite advanced surgical joint replacement and remedial procedures. In this overview, what has been observed in this regard is documented using the PUBMED data base and encompasses a growing body of data extending from very limited reports in 1950 to more than 4800 articles in 2025 where shoulder osteoarthritis works are posted. Adversely impacted, especially in the face of shoulder muscle atrophy, both excess body fat plus the encroachment of excess fatty tissue into vulnerable or injured muscles or
tendons it appears only modest progress has been made and most modes of intervention in 2025 focus on surgery rather than non-surgical modes of intervention to mitigate dysfunction, or joint damage. In this regard, we found that with few exceptions and regardless of article examined a possible role for increasing age, inaccurate health beliefs, shoulder muscle fat mass infiltration alongside muscle pain and atrophy may have a strong bearing on shoulder osteoarthritis disability, as may genetics, demographic, cognitions, and occupational factors, thus a multipronged long term tailored approach to care including a plan to prevent shoulder injury, foster innate healing in the face of perpetual reversibility challenges, and education is likely to be worth contemplating.

 Sustainable Development: Reality Or Myth? Since the United Nations Environment Conference in Stockholm (1972), the concept of sustainable development has steadily made its way among individual scientists and international organizations. The apotheosis of this development was the adoption by the United Nations in 2015 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. However, many scientists and politicians were skeptical about the concept of sustainable development, since the results of implementing sustainable development in different countries were far from expected. Many decisions taken at the level of the UN and other international organizations turned out to be unfulfilled. In my opinion, as well as some other Russian scientists, the concept of sustainable development is an unrealistic project, it is a myth, although it is very positive and humane. Sustainable development goals can be achieved only by the most economically developed countries entering the era of post-industrialism. In...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...

 From Bronchial Asthma to Tuberculosis: Unravelling the Cytokine-Macrophage Axis in Diverse Diseases Cytokines, tiny proteins secreted by cells, play a critical role in mediating communication and interactions between cells. They also function as immunomodulating agents, adjusting immune responses. When released into the bloodstream or tissues, cytokines bind to specific receptors on target immune cells, triggering cellular responses. Cytokines are implicated in various diseases, including asthma, COPD, HIV infection, and multiple sclerosis. This review delves into the intricate interplay between cytokines and macrophages, focusing on their roles in inflammation and the immune response. Macrophages, which are scavenger cells of the immune system, exhibit remarkable heterogeneity, reside in diverse tissues, and play crucial roles in both innate and acquired immunity. They can be activated for proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory functions, contributing to tissue destruction or regen...
