There has been a boom in their sales as patients rush to self-medicate, either in the hope that these products will be effective in treating diseases unsatisfactorily treated with pharmaceuticals, or that the adverse effects of some pharmaceuticals may be avoided.
Nutrition 2
Nutrition involves providing the body with necessary food for health and growth. This document outlines the main sources of nutrients including carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Carbohydrates are found in foods like grains, roots, tubers, and some seafood. Fats come from oils, coconut, dairy, and meats. Proteins are found in both animal sources like eggs, milk, meat and chicken, as well as plant sources like cereals. Vitamins include A, D, C, B-complex, and more, being found in foods such as green vegetables, citrus fruits, dairy, eggs and liver. Key minerals discussed are calcium, phosphorus, iron, selenium,
Nutrition and Gastrointestinal tract
The document discusses the role of the gastrointestinal tract in nutrient digestion and absorption. It provides an overview of the basic anatomy and functions of the GI tract. It also discusses several gastrointestinal diseases and disorders, including their causes and relationship to nutrition. For example, it describes how an improper diet can lead to diseases like dental caries, peptic ulcers, and inflammatory bowel disease. The role of specific foods and nutrients in conditions like GERD and IBD is also examined.
Functional foods
This document discusses various functional foods and their health benefits. It begins by defining functional foods as foods that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. The history of functional foods is then summarized, noting that Japan first established a definition for these foods in 1991. Several categories of functional foods are then listed, including those fortified with vitamins/minerals, containing cholesterol-reducing components, and probiotics/prebiotics. Specific examples like yogurt, fruits and vegetables are given. Methods for how foods can become functional are outlined, such as by adding or increasing beneficial components. The roles and health benefits of various functional food categories are then summarized in 1-2 sentences each, including dairy products like milk and yogurt, seafood rich in omega
Spirulina
- Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is highly nutritious, containing nutrients like protein, iron, beta carotene, vitamins, and minerals in high amounts. Research shows it has benefits like reducing risks of cancer, heart disease, and viruses. It is about 60% complete protein and grows rapidly with high yields. Studies indicate spirulina may help conditions like anemia, diabetes, cardiovascular issues, neurodegenerative diseases, and more due to its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. In conclusion, spirulina is a very nutritious supplement that can benefit various aspects of health.
Effective Introduction of Herbals in Functional Foods
1) The document discusses effective introduction of herbal extracts in functional foods. It notes that herbal extracts should be well-studied and have validated efficacy, be generally recognized as safe, be standardized to ensure consistent active compound levels, and contain the appropriate percentage of active compounds to provide benefits.
2) Standardization of herbal extracts is important because environmental factors can impact active compound levels. Extracts should also be analyzed for heavy metals.
3) When added to functional foods, herbal extracts are more promising than single-ingredient supplements if they meet certain criteria like FDA approval and have proven health benefits supported by studies. The percentage of active compounds in the final product should provide the intended effect.
Probiotic and Prebiotic
The document provides an overview of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics. It discusses the history of probiotics beginning with Metchnikoff's proposal of therapeutic use of lactic acid bacteria. Common probiotic genera include Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Probiotics are proposed to confer health benefits through various mechanisms of action in the gut. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. The combination of probiotics and prebiotics in a product is called a synbiotic and may provide synergistic benefits. Clinical applications of probiotics include treatment of diarrhea, IBS, and inflammatory bowel diseases.
Vitamins relationship
The effects of a deficiency of one vitamin would not ordinarily be expected to be highly dependent on the presence or absence of another vitamin in the diet, since the symptoms of deficiency of each vitamin are usually quite distinct. Nevertheless, antagonistic or synergistic interactions between vitamins may occur to a greater or less extent. While several mechanisms can be proposed whereby vitamins can be synergistic, it is more difficult to conceive of one which could explain vitamin antagonism.

It exists in two forms - isolate and concentrate - with isolate containing 98% protein and concentrate containing 80% protein. Whey protein supplements come in vanilla and chocolate flavors in 1 and 2 pound quantities and provide benefits like building muscle, increasing lean muscle mass, and supporting muscle recovery and fat burning.
Vitamin b5
The document summarizes information about vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid). It was discovered in 1919 by Roger J. Williams. It plays a key role in the synthesis of coenzyme A which is essential in energy metabolism and biosynthesis. Pantothenic acid is absorbed in the small intestine and transported into cells. Deficiency can cause neurological and metabolic issues, but is very rare. Toxicity from pantothenic acid is also unlikely as massive doses only cause mild side effects.
Functional food
This document discusses functional foods and nutraceuticals. It defines functional foods as foods that provide additional health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and probiotics are described as examples of functional foods. Cereals provide fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that can help prevent cancer, heart disease and other conditions. Legumes contain proteins, fibers and phytochemicals like isoflavones and saponins that may lower cholesterol and blood glucose. Vegetables and fruits are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that promote health. Probiotics in foods like yogurt contain beneficial bacteria and may help lower blood pressure and reduce risk of obesity and other diseases.
Probiotics and health benefits
Beneficial Effects of Probiotics
Introduction: PROBIOTICS are living microorganisms, when taken by mouth, benefit your health by improving the balance of bacteria in the intestines.
Often bacteria, but also include some kinds of yeast.
PROBIOTICS are “good” bacteria or non-pathogenic in healthy people.
Gut contains over 500 different types of beneficial bacteria.
Beneficial functions such as inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria, aiding in digestion, and vitamin-B synthesis.
To consider Bacterium as Probiotics, must meet the following criteria:
It is a microbial organism which is not harmful
It remains alive during processing and the shelf life of the food
It must survive digestion and remain alive in the gut
It is able to bring about a response in the gut
It is associated with health benefits
Common Probiotic Bacteria
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lactobacillus casei
Lactobacillus reuteri
Lactobacillus plantarum
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Bifidobacterium animalis
Bifidobacterium infantis
Bifidobacterium lactis
Bifidobacterium longum
Beneficial Effects of Probiotics
Absorbing and/or destroying toxins released by certain “bad” bacteria that can make you sick.
Producing substances that prevent infection.
Preventing harmful bacteria from attaching to the gut wall and growing there.
Boosting your immune system
Sending signals to your cells to strengthen the mucus in your intestine, which helps it act as a barrier against infection.
Production of B vitamins. Vitamin B is important in maintaining healthy skin, a healthy nervous system and preventing anemia
Decrease gas production and bloating
Prebiotics
Prebiotics are being added to many baby foods to promote the growth of good bacteria in the colon and increase immunity. Prebiotics are considered safe for pregnant women and can help boost a baby's immune system even before birth. As people age, their digestive systems deteriorate and prebiotics become more important for addressing issues like constipation and calcium absorption that elders commonly experience. Prebiotics work by feeding probiotic bacteria to promote digestive and immune health. The supplement Kiwi-Klenz is specifically recommended for older adults.
Vitamin B5 pantothenic acid MUHAMMAD MUSTANSAR
Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, forms part of coenzyme A which plays an important role in energy metabolism. It is essential for the formation of ATP from the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and alcohol. Pantothenic acid is used to synthesize coenzyme A, which transports carbon atoms within cells to form acetyl-CoA and related compounds for energy metabolism and biosynthesis of important compounds like fatty acids and cholesterol. Coenzyme A is also required for the formation of acetyl carrier protein needed for fatty acid synthesis.
Spirulina and its health benefits.
Production of blue green microalgae S. platensis, serves as an alternative approach as feed and food additives due to their rich contents of protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids (γ-linolenic acid), vitamins as well as minerals, pigments and enzymes. Spirulina has several pharmacological activities such as anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, metalloprotective, antioxidant and immune stimulant effects and Due to these facts it is called super food.
Spirulina (Algae) Part 6
Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that is cultivated for use as a dietary supplement. It grows well in warm, alkaline freshwater and derives its name from its spiral shape under microscopy. Spirulina contains high amounts of protein, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. It has been used as a dietary supplement in many countries and was selected by NASA to be included in astronauts' food because of its high nutritional value. Spirulina provides numerous health benefits and is considered a superfood.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. SENSORY NEEDS B.SC. NURSING SEMESTER II.

This nutrient rich substance is actually a cyanobacteria and it boasts its fair share of health promoting properties. It is rich in Chlorophyll, and like plants, gets its energy from the sun.
- 4. Spirulina is a natural “algae” powder that is incredibly high in protein and a good source of antioxidants, B-vitamins and other nutrients. When harvested correctly from non-contaminated ponds and bodies of water, it is one of the most potent nutrient sources available.
- 5. It is largely made up of protein and essential amino acids, and is typically recommended to vegetarians due to its high natural iron content.
- 6. The high concentration of protein and iron also makes it ideal during pregnancy, after surgery, or anytime the immune system needs a boost.
- 7. the benefits of Spirulina
- 8. Most Nutrient Dense Food on the Planet
- 9. PROTEIN • It is considered a complete source of high-quality protein and is often compared to eggs for the amount of protein per gram.

- 12. Calcium • Spirulina is also incredibly high in calcium with over 26 times the calcium in milk.
- 13. Contains GLA and Omega-3s
- 14. • Spirulina is 65% protein and amino acids including the essential fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which has gotten a lot of attention for its anti- inflammatory properties, especially when taken with other quality Omega-3 supplements. • GLA is difficult to find in a food source and normally has to be created by the body. Spirulina is one of the few foods with a natural GLA content. • Besides GLA, Spirulina also contains Omega 3-,6 and 9s and is especially high in Omega-3s.
- 15. May Help Balance Blood Sugar
- 16. •Spirulina may be especially helpful in balancing blood sugar, and may even be as effective as diabetes medication in some instances.

How to Consume Spirulina • When choosing Spirulina, make sure to choose one that is organic, as others can be contaminated or have nitrate compounds as additives. • The one I’m currently using can be purchased here and it is also the cheapest organic Spirulina I’ve seen. • It does taste like pond water though, so many people prefer supplements like this high quality Spirulina capsule.
- 27. • Those with PKU should consult with a doctor before taking, as it does contain that amino acid. • Those on any type of anti-coagulation medicine should consult with a doctor before beginning (or stopping) taking Spirulina. • Some people with autoimmune disease do not do well with this supplement. • If you are pregnant, nursing or have any medical condition, check with your doctor first as it is often not recommended for pregnant or nursing women.
