Pulses such as lentils, dried beans, peas and chickpeas have been staple foods for many civilizations. Yet today, their nutritional benefits are often greatly underestimated. In some cultures pulses have a stigma of being a ‘poor man’s food’ and are replaced by meat once people can afford meat.
Worldwide, commonly eaten pulses include kidney beans, navy beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), faba beans (Vicia faba L.), chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.), dried or split peas (Pisum sativum L.), mung beans (Vigna radiata L.) cowpeas, black-eyed peas (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.), and several varieties of lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.). There are also many less well-known species of pulses such as lupines (e.g., Lupinus albus L., Lupinus mutabilis Sweet) and bambara beans (Vigna subterranea L.).

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.

BEETROOT (BETA VULGARIS)
Beetroot (Beta vulgaris), a vegetable which is the most popular
and the oldest, it is said to have its origin from prehistory. It has
different properties, in addition to being one of the main sources
of sugar.
ORIGIN
Beet, it is believed that it has originated in prehistoric times in
the north of Africa and grew wild along coasts of Asia and
Europe.
In these early days, people ate exclusively the leaves and not the
beetroots. The ancient Romans were one of the first civilizations
to cultivate beets to use their roots as food.
Later the tribes that invaded Rome spread beets throughout
northern Europe, where they first used for animal feed and later
for human consumption, which became popular in the 16th
century. Beet’s popularity grew in the 19th century when it first
discovered to be a concentrated source of sugar, and the first
sugar factory was built in Poland.
When access to cane sugar was restricted by the British,
Napoleon decreed that beet be used as the main source of sugar,
4. AYURVEDICINDIA.INFO
which increased its popularity. Around this time, beets also came
to the United States.
Now day‘s main trading beet producers are the United
States, Russia, Poland, France, and Germany. Beets are a food
that we cannot do without it.
SYNONYMY

PROPERTIES
Beet is a vegetable that is very energetic, recommended in cases
of anemia, diseases of the blood, and convalescence, it is due to
its high content of iron, beside rich in sugars and carotenes. It is
considered a laxative; It serves to improve liver function and for
urinary tract infections. It has folates and certain vitamins such
as B1, B2, B3, and B6, etc. By contrast, beets are, along with
aubergine or cucumber, one of the vegetables with the lowest
content of provitamin A and vitamin C.
Folates are involved in the production of red and white blood
cells, in the synthesis of genetic material and in the formation of
antibodies in the immune system. Vitamin B2 or riboflavin are
related to the production of antibodies and red blood cells. It
collaborates in the production of energy and in the maintenance
of the epithelial tissue of the mucosa, while vitamin B3
collaborates in the functioning of the digestive system, the good
state of the skin, the nervous system and in the conversion of
food into energy.
Vitamin B6 participates in cellular metabolism and in the
functioning of the immune system. The sugar contained in the
beets is sucrose. It can be eaten in salads or cooked, but it
maintains its properties better when raw. Beets are particularly
rich in folate, they are also high in fiber, soluble and insoluble.
5. AYURVEDICINDIA.INFO
Insoluble fiber helps keep your intestinal tract working well,
while soluble fiber maintains your blood sugar levels and
controlled cholesterol. Beets are particularly rich in folate, they
are also high in fiber soluble, and insoluble.
Beet is a portion of food that contains moderate heat, since, after
the water, the hydrates of carbon are the most abundant
component, which makes this one of the vegetables richer in
sugars and a good source of fiber.
CALORIC VALUE
Beetroot, due to its moderate caloric value, can be consumed as
an ingredient in salads or vegetables and used in weight
control diets, although the consumption ration and flavoring
must be taken into account. In addition, thanks to its fiber
content, it provides a good feeling of satiety, which limits the
consumption of other more caloric foods.
PEST CONTROL
It has been found that few pests attack the beet crop. The most
common and worst pest for this crop is the armyworm, whose
young larvae eat on the underside of the leaf without damaging
the upper part and the older larvae devour the tissue by piercing
the leaves. Chemical control should be performed when the
populations are very high and it is necessary to reduce them in a
short time. The worm sticks the leave, fold the sheet foil to hide
in them. In the presence of this pest, Abaco dose 0.5 L / ha is
recommended.
To control pests, it is necessary to correctly rotate crops and
prepare the soil before sowing so that biological controllers can
act.
EFFECT ON PREGNANT WOMEN AND CHILDREN
Beets are appropriate to the pregnant woman’s diet thanks to
their folate content. This is an important vitamin in ensuring the
correct development of the neural tube of the fetus, especially in
the first weeks of gestation. Its deficiency causes diseases such
as spina bifida or anencephaly in the future baby. Folate
6. AYURVEDICINDIA.INFO
requirements are higher in children as well. Therefore, including
them in your regular diet is a valid way to prevent deficiencies.
DISEASE PREVENTION
Beetroot contains pigments called anthocyanins, with antioxidant
action, and that gives it its characteristic color. Antioxidants
block the damaging effect of free radicals. The breathing in the
presence of oxygen is essential in the living cell of our body, but
following the same molecules, free radicals, causing negative
effects on health to have the ability to occur alter DNA (genes),
proteins, and lipids or fats.
There are situations that increase the production of free radicals,
including intense physical exercise, environmental pollution,
smoking, infections, stress, high-fat diets, and overexposure to
the Sun. The relationship between antioxidants and the
prevention of cardiovascular diseases is today a well-supported
statement. It is known that it is the modification of the so-called
“bad cholesterol ” (LDL-c) that plays a fundamental role in the
onset and development of atherosclerosis.
Antioxidants block free radicals that modify so-called bad
cholesterol, thereby helping to reduce cardiovascular and
cerebrovascular risk. On the other hand, low levels of
antioxidants are a risk factor for certain types of cancer and
degenerative diseases.
The development of goiter is associated with a growth of the
thyroid gland that is involved in the regulation of metabolism.
The appearance of this disease is related to a very low or no
consumption of iodine. Iodine-deficient diets are more common in
developed countries. This deficiency can disappear with the use
of iodized salt, although there are also foods that provide this
mineral, such as beets, since, along with garlic and chard, it is
the vegetable that is richest in iodine.
Kidney stones and retention of fluids can be treated with
consumption beet, which is rich in one type of acid organic
known as of oxalic acid; This compound, which is also abundant
in spinach and Swiss chard, has the ability to form insoluble
complexes in the intestine with minerals such as calcium and
iron that prevent its assimilation.
7. AYURVEDICINDIA.INFO
There are people who are predisposed to form “calcium oxalate”
stones in the kidney, which is why the consumption of beets in
their diet should be restricted. On the other hand, thanks to the
abundance of potassium and lower sodium content, they have a
diuretic action that favors the elimination of excess fluids from
the body.
They are beneficial in case of hypertension,

HOW TO CHOOSE AND KEEP IT
Fresh beets are usually sold in bunches. It is preferable to choose
those with roots of the same size. Thus, they will all cook evenly.
At the time of purchase, it is recommended to choose smooth,
firm, round, and fleshy specimens, without spots or bruises and
of deep red color. The selected bunch should contain green leaves
since it indicates that the root is young. Despite the fact that the
leaves are limp or soft, the root is in good condition if it feels firm
to the touch.
If you want to make use of the beet leaves, these, in addition to
being green, must be tender. On the contrary, the elongated and
flaky skin on the upper part should be rejected because they will
be hard, fibrous, and with a strong flavor. Once at home, fresh
beets should be kept in the refrigerator and inside a plastic
bag and thus the last two to three weeks. The beet leaves,

separately, must also be kept in a plastic bag, without washing
them. In this way and in refrigeration they can be kept for three
to five days.
It is not advisable to freeze raw beets because they soften, unless
they are small, after boiling them in saltwater and never more
than two hours. Then they are immersed in cold water to
facilitate peeling. Once peeled, they can be cut and frozen in an
airtight container.
CURIOSITIES
From the beet, the natural pigment present in this root is
extracted, which gives it its characteristic red color and is used
in the agri-food industry to obtain a dye called beet red. This dye
is used to give color to some products such as soups, liqueurs,
ice cream, etc. This substance causes urine and feces to turn
reddish in some people after eating beets. This is because they
lack the enzyme that metabolizes this pigment in the intestine, so
it is eliminated as it is along with urine and feces.
Did you know that the very fashionable Red Velvet cake has beet
as its main ingredient? On the other hand, that the most famous
and traditional soup in Russia is called Borsch, which translated
into Old Slovenian means beets? Also used as a natural dye, beet
extract or E162 is a pigment naturally extracted by cooking the
beet and its subsequent drying, giving rise to different shades
ranging from the most subtle pink to the most intense pink, and
passing through the range of purples.
This Same Pigment Is Usually Used In Cosmetics In The
Elaboration Of
Makeups
Blushers
Lipstick
Dyes
Beetroot pigment is also a key ingredient in the food industry to
color “strawberry-flavoured” foods, pastries, yogurts, dairy, fried
snacks, and to color sausages and meats in general.

HOW TO COOK IT
Beetroot is a vegetable that can be eaten raw, boiled, or canned.
Its main use is in salads, although it can also be eaten alone,
with garlic or onion, and seasoned with a little oil, salt, and
vinegar. To consume it raw, they are usually grated and seasoned
with a little oil and lemon, but they are more digestible if they
have been cooked.
For its cooking, it is convenient to introduce them in boiling
salted water without having peeled them previously because
otherwise, they would lose part of their color and flavour. They
should be boiled for at least an hour, depending on their size, but
not more than two. Once you have been cooked, can remove the
skin easily and can be served as a dish of vegetables. If you
prefer, you can roast.
To do this you just have to put them in the oven and not take
them out until they are tender. Cooked in this way, the beets
retain almost all their properties intact. Canned beets are made
from beets. To do this you must use vinegar or sugar that will be
added to the beets once they have been boiled or cooked.
Likewise, the beet leaves can be used, cooked, and seasoned as if
they were spinach.
WHY EAT BEETS?
When we talk about our overall health, it always depends on
healthy food and level of stomach acid, it is the stomach acid that
helps your body to absorb minerals, nutrients, and vitamins from
food and boost overall health. Looking at those, Beets are dense
in nutrients, including betaine, potassium, folate, Vitamin C,
magnesium, and a good dose of nitrates. Therefore, the answer is
simple why we should eat beet.
1. TO FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
One of the first virtues that you will find when looking for what
can beet consumption help you will be related to the adjective of
anticancer. Please always be cautious with this type of statement
and read with an open mind and judgment. We are facing food
with exceptional properties but not magical, the virtue of making
miracles does not have it. Attributing this almost miraculous
10. AYURVEDICINDIA.INFO
power comes thanks to its great wealth in flavonoids, mainly
betaine, and the red pigment so characteristic of beets. There are
studies that say that its consumption inhibits and prevents the
appearance of tumors.
The truth is that it is a very beneficial food for our body and a
powerful antioxidant and eating a diet rich and abundant in
fruits and vegetables has been shown to be favorable to the
disease and its delay or appearance. Antioxidants are responsible
for eliminating free radicals from the body, neutralize them, and
thus prevent them from damaging organs, such as kidneys, liver,
heart … So far from miraculous potions, we are aware of the daily
importance of nutrition when it comes to preventing.[1]

2. TO GET A SOURCE OF IRON
Here the data is accurate, and that is that for every 100 grams of
beets we find 0.8 mg. of iron. In addition to being a great source
of vitamin C, which increases iron absorption. Although there are
other foods with more iron, its richness in folic acid makes it the
food par excellence to treat these deficits. This makes beets the
perfect ally in cases of anemia. Thanks to its large amount of
folates (folic acid) vitamin B9, a vitamin that is only found in
vegetables and is essential when it comes to producing red blood
cells.
When we have red blood cell deficits, we are facing megaloblastic
anemia. As a tip, when it comes to synthesizing iron better, it is
advisable to mix this food with another that contains vitamin C in
order to increase the bioavailability of iron (for example, adding a
few drops of lemon juice to beets or another food rich in iron).
On the contrary and although it sounds contradictory, its
consumption is not recommended along with other iron-rich
foods in cases of anemia, since they would “steal” minerals from
each other and would have the opposite effect, it is recommended
to consume it with food rich in calcium to avoid these unwanted
effects. Also interesting its consumption in women with heavy
periods, during pregnancy or in recent births, where the supply
of iron is even more necessary. [2]

to beets and their antioxidant effects. Heart-healthy food, rich in
fiber, antioxidants, potassium, vitamins of group B (not B-12
eye), benefits us when it comes to lowering cholesterol, reduces
hypertension, and cleanses the arteries, reducing the possibility

very useful for constipation problems and its prevention. Beets
are highly digestive and have a prebiotic effect, which helps
improve intestinal flora. That is why highly digestive food are
recommended even in cases of intestinal disease such as irritable
colon, ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease.[5]
6. TO BOOST LIVER FUNCTION
As it is well known that our surroundings are full of pollutions
and we are facing lack of natural food rich in antioxidants, which
is just what our liver needs to detoxify, cleanse, and stay healthy.
Thanks to beets, to their purifying effects. It is an essential diet
for patients with fatty liver, cirrhosis, or hepatitis. We are not
surprised to find our urine-stained red or pinkish after
consumption, relax! It is normal, its powerful pigmentation goes
further.[6]

7. TO LOOSE WEIGHT
Beets provide us with very few calories, approximately 43 kcal
per 100 grams. These calories come mainly from carbohydrates,
but as it is a food rich in fiber, these are slowly absorbed. The
Carrots have both soluble and insoluble fibres in it, which make
a super food. In study it have been found that fibre takes the
longest to digest, this way it can promotes a feeling of fullness
and prevents you from eating other fattening foods and
contribute to weight loss. [7]
8. TO BOOST EXTRA ENERGY
Beet is rich in much nutritious proteins beside this it also has an
excellent source of nitrate which have an ability to decrease blood
pressure. In research, it was found that the amount of oxygen
you need to sustain exercise decreased after consuming beet
juice. So while exercising or it took less energy to run the same
pace or time of the workout. [8]
9. TO GAIN ATHLETES BENEFITS
Various studies have shown that there are many benefits when
consuming beets in the performance of elite athletes. Hence,
many of them take advantage of the health properties offered by
beets when it comes to increasing their physical performance in
endurance sports.
The key to this increase in the resistance offered by beets to
athletes is a nitric oxide, an important vasodilator capable of
increasing blood flow at the muscular level and thus promoting
oxygen in the muscles.
We could continue talking long and hard about the benefits of
beets as an essential food and its properties to maintain your
health, but I think that with these above benefits we have raised
the bar to include it in your next shopping list. A basic food that
should not be missing in our refrigerators, versatile when it
comes to cooking and that also has a delicious flavor, still, you do
not use it.[9]
