A Review on Different Benefits of MushroomIOSRJPBS
This paper reviews mushrooms. In this paper, nutritional and medicinal values, other uses of mushrooms were discussed. Mushrooms have been important in human history as food, as medicine, as legands, and in folk lore and religion. Mushrooms are basically consumed for their texture and flavor. They have recently become attractive as health - beneficent food and as sources for the development of drugs. Many higher mushrooms are known to contain a number of biologically active components that show promising antitumor and immunomodulating, cardiovascular, hepatoprotective, hypocholesterolemic, antiviral, antibacterial, antiparasitic and antidiabetic effects. Nutritional value of mushrooms lies between that of meat and vegetables. The rich source of proteins, vitamins and minerals and low in fat content (2-8%) unique chemicals constitution of mushrooms makes them low calorie food 8 and choice diet for those suffering from hypertension, arthrosclerosis, diabetes, obesity. Mushrooms play a role in the development of new biological remediation techniques and filtration technologies (e.g. using fungi to lower bacterial levels in contaminated water). From the review it was observed that developing countries should harness the potentials of mushrooms as this would boost the revenue income and healthy living. It is hoped that this paper would add to existing information on this fungus

Nutraceutical is the hybrid of ‘nutrition’and ‘pharmaceutical’. Nutraceuticals; in broad, are food or part of food playing a significant role in modifying and maintaining normal physiological function that maintains healthy human beings. The food products used as nutraceuticals can be categorized as dietary fibre, prebiotics, probiotics, polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants and other different types of herbal natural foods. These nutraceuticals used in various diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, cholesterol, hypertension etc. In whole, ‘nutraceutical’
has lead to the new era of medicine and health, in which the food industry has become a research oriented sector. This article aim to provide the knowledge of nutraceutical with its uses in various diseases.

Nutraceutical is the hybrid of ‘nutrition’ and ‘pharmaceutical’. Nutraceuticals, in broad, are food or part of food playing a significant role in modifying and maintaining normal physiological function that maintains healthy human beings.
Diet is not all about loosing or gaining weight, its therapeutic benefits are often taken lightly by most of us. Planning of a therapeutic diet implies the ability to adopt the principal of normal nutrition to the various regimens for adequacy, correctness, economy and palatability. It requires recognition of the need for dietary supplements such as vitamin and mineral concentrates when the nature of the diet itself imposes severe restrictions, the patient's appetite is poor or absorption and utilization are impaired so that the diet cannot meet the needs of optimum nutrition.
There are several therapeutic benefits of a well balanced diet such as:
•Fuel to perform daily activities
•Nutrients for the body's cells
•Growth and repair of tissue
•Reinforcing the immune system
•Preventing chronic diseases of lifestyle
•Maintaining good mental health
•Ensuring healthy teeth and bones

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

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.

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

1. Cancer Fighting Foods
by Kimberly Kirschner, Willow Star Haven Foundation
A diet rich in nutrient dense foods is important in preventing and fighting cancer. The right
foods, by themselves or in combination with other foods, can support a healthy weight,
supply disease fighting phytonutrients, and improve energy levels, which can be depleted by
cancer treatment. The foods included in this presentation are a sampling of “superfoods”
that have been extensively studied for their benefits: brassica vegetables; sprouts;
mushrooms; allium rich vegetables; turmeric and ginger; berries and other fruits;
avocado and nuts; green tea
2. Cruciferous Vegetables contain Glucosinolates:
Sulforaphane, I3C and DIM
Glucosinolates are the sulfur containing compounds in brassica vegetables that
confer unique taste, smell and health properties. These break down with the help of
the enzyme myrosinase to form biologically active indoles and isothiocyanates,
including sulforaphane and I3C;
Sulforaphane has the ability to reduce the expression of long noncoding RNAs (aka
IncRNAs) which seem to be able to regulate gene expression (“How does broccoli
help prevent cancer?,” n.d.);
Indole-3-Carbinol and DIM: DIM is the most extensively studied metabolite of I3C
and a star in the fight against cancer. It inhibits proliferation of androgen
dependent cancers, is anti-proliferative in tumor activity, has been shown to induce
apoptosis, inhibit angiogenesis, regulate inflammation, regulate sex hormones and
their receptors and inhibit growth of stem cells (Zhang, Feng, & Narod, 2014).
3. Getting your Brassica on…
Arugula has the highest glucosinolate content among mature brassica vegetables;
Brussel sprouts are right up there with arugula in glucosinolates; they also have
twice the vitamin K of red cabbage and more vitamin C than oranges;
Purple cabbage contains glucosinolates and inflammation fighting anthocyanins;
Kale is one of the top vegetables in total antioxidant capacity as measured by
ORAC
Broccoli is the best known star of the brassica family. To enhance the benefits of
broccoli allow sulforaphane to develop by chopping or blending broccoli and
waiting 40 minutes to cook or eat (cooking can deactivate the myrosinase
enzyme); if you can’t chop and hold, then cook with added mustard greens or
radish root, which contain myrosinase: How to cook broccoli (hyperlink to
NutritionFacts.org).
4. Sprouts excerpt from NutritionFacts.org video
The anti-cancer properties of vegetables are concentrated in their seeds and sprouts.
Sprouting and consuming broccoli seeds is an incredibly potent and inexpensive way to
get sulforaphane—up to 50 times the amount in full grown broccoli (“Surprising Discovery Reveals
How Broccoli Fights Cancer,” n.d.);
Here is a demonstration from the video clip of cancer cells in vitro disappearing as they
are treated with sulforaphane (MCF7 is an estrogen receptor + BC cell, and SUM159 is an
ER – BC cell):

6. Triterpenoids in Food give many herbs, spices and
other foods their therapeutic properties
“Triterpenes are natural compounds showing a wide spectrum of biological effects. They proved to have anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-
fungal, anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as anti-cancer and chemopreventive ones. Not only they are capable of
inhibiting life of neoplastic cell lines, but also induce apoptosis of cancer cells, to cause their “suicidal” death, with no threat to normal
cells of the body. Such properties, in particular the selectivity of triterpenes’ activity, present them as alternatives in cancer treatment and
prevention. Therefore, it is essential to gain such compounds, for evaluation of their cytotoxic properties and underlying mechanisms,
through synthesis of new derivatives” (Chudzik, Korzonek-Szlacheta, & Wojciech, 2015).
Edible triterpenes are found in many categories of foods, including:
Adaptogens like ashwaganda, ginseng, licorice, Tulsi
Fragrant herbs like rosemary, thyme, basil and peppermint
Mushrooms
Citrus peel--juice lemons and oranges or include them with peel in smoothies
(University, 2015)
Seaweed
Cucumber, strawberries, mango pulp, olive fruit, black tea (Editor, 2016)
7. Mushrooms
Maitake, Shiitake, Oyster, Cordyceps, Reishi, Turkey Tail, Chaga…
Tremendous research has been devoted to
the medicinal benefits of mushrooms
(over 100 species have been studied),
including the ability to boost immunity and
reduce inflammation (Moro et al., 2012); in
cancer treatment, sometimes along with
traditional chemo (“Mushrooms,” n.d.).
A number of compounds in mushrooms
have anti-cancer properties, including
lentinan, studied for increasing survival
rates in cancer patients, and
polysaccharides, which can help with side
effects of treatment (Lindequist,
Niedermeyer, & Jülich, 2005).
Organic maitake, shiitake, oyster and baby bellas;
cooking whole mushrooms makes nutrients more
available
8. Mushrooms also contain ergosterol which converts to vitamin D2, and
adaptogenic properties to help improve hormone levels, stress, sleep
(California, n.d.).
There are a number of supplement powders on the
market Click on this link to read about adding
mushroom powder to your coffee
Mycobiologist Paul Stamets has several
YouTube videos on mushrooms; in this one
he describes how Turkey Tail mushrooms
treated his mother’s BC in combo
w/Herceptin
9. The Allium family of vegetables, rich in sulfur,
oligosaccharides, flavonoids, selenium
Garlic
Research into the anticancer
properties of garlic focus on the
ability of this bulb to halt/block the
formation of cancer-causing
substances; reduce cell proliferation;
enhance DNA repair and induce
cancer cell death. The World Health
Organization recommends 2-5 grams
of allicin from garlic in any of its’
forms (“Garlic and Cancer Prevention,”
n.d.)
Onion, Leeks, Shallots, Chives
Most research on the medicinal
benefits of allium vegetables focuses
on gastrointestinal cancers, but
associations exist for reduction of
many types of cancer when allium
foods are consumed on a daily basis.
In addition to the bioactive
compounds listed in the title, allium
vegetables are a significant source of
fiber, potassium, iron and vitamin C,
and they may also have antimicrobial
and immune boosting benefits
(Nicastro, Ross, & Milner, 2015).
10. Turmeric Root and Ginger
Much has been written about the anti-
cancer benefits of turmeric’s principal
bioactive ingredient, curcumin. Populations
that consume the spice as a regular part of
their diet (India, the islands), have lower
rates of most cancer compared to the west
(for example, Americans have 5 times the
rate of breast cancer) (“Why are Cancer
Rates so Low in India?,” n.d.);
Turmeric is being studied for its effects on
oncogenes of proliferation and apoptosis in
breast cancer, and as a combination therapy
in cancer treatment (Liu & Chen, 2013);
Major cancer centers, like Memorial Sloan
Kettering, acknowledge the benefits of
turmeric root but warn about its use during
chemo (“Turmeric,”n.d.)
The active phenolic constituents of ginger
are shogaols, which have more than anti-
nausea, anti-inflammatory properties. They
are being tested in breast cancer treatment
and found to be potent inhibitors of cancer
cell invasion, for use in preventing
metastasis, with no side effects or
complications (Ling, Yang, Tan, Chui, &
Chew, 2010);

11. “Berries Seem to Burst with Cancer Protection”
(AICR newsletter #119, Spring 2013)
Anti-cancer polyphenols fall into multiple classes with Lycopene
emerging as the star for Estrogen Receptor Negative Breast
Cancer
Anthocyanins (the flavonoids that give
berries their vibrant colors), have been shown
to reduce cancer cell proliferation and limit
their invasive potential (“Anti-cancer effect of
anthocyanins.,” n.d.);
Ellagitannins (ETs) Found in fruits and some
nuts, are being studied for their preventive
and tumor reducing abilities. Ets may effect
anti-angiogenesis by targeting VEGFR-2 and
its signaling pathway (Wang et al., 2012), and
were able to block estrogen-induced tumors
in rat models (Aiyer, Srinivasan, & Gupta,
2008).
Carotenoids are responsible for the
yellow, orange and red color in many
fruits and vegetables. Data from a study
of over 7,000 women, published in 2012
in the Journal of the National Cancer
Institute, showed 22% decreased cancer
risk for women with the highest serum
levels of lycopene (19% decreased risk
with high level of total carotenoids); the
mechanism: retinol from carotenoids
seems to regulate cell growth,
differentiation, programmed cell death
and reduces reactive oxygen species
(ROS) (Voelker, 2012).
12. Avocado and Nuts, Soy Isoflavones
Avocado is technically a berry and confers many of the carotenoid benefits of
traditional berries; like tomatoes, garlic, broccoli and spinach, avocado is also a
source of glutathione peroxidase, vitamin E and oleic acid. This combo is protective
against breast cancer, promotes healthy weight and absorption of micronutrients,
which are abundant in avocado as well (Voelker, 2012);
Whole walnut extracts on BC cells decreased proliferation of MCF-7 cells more than
individual components like nut oil (Vanden Heuvel et al., 2012). Check out Dr.
Greger’s link: Which Nut Fights Cancer Better?
Soy Isoflavones and BC: Many ER+ BC patients avoid whole-food soy products (due
to phytoestrogens) in spite of research demonstrating the anti-cancer benefits. In
BC prevention, Asian populations score best as intake of soy started in childhood.
Studies on all populations show a 33-60% reduced risk of recurrence in those
consuming soy (“Nutrition and Breast Cancer — Studies Show a Nutrient-Dense Diet Plus Daily
Exercise Can Lower Risk of Recurrence,” n.d.). Whole food soy products should be organic
to avoid pesticides and genetic modification; fermented soy, such as tempeh or
natto, are excellent options although natto is something of an acquired taste.
13. Green Tea
The class of phytochemicals in green tea, known as catechins, are present in a
variety of forms. The most abundant green tea catechin is epigallocatechin-3-
gallate, EGCG. The anti-cancer benefits have been extensively studied and include
inhibition of tumor growth, limiting angiogenesis, helping regulate natural cell
death and other cell functions that become dysregulated in cancer cells (Li, Yin,
Wang, & Jiang, 2014); EGCG may also target cancer stem cells in invasive breast
cancer (Mineva, Paulson, Naber, Yee, & Sonenshein, 2013);
Studies cited indicate that the benefits of green tea are enhanced in combination
with mushrooms, low-soy intake;
Consume green tea as often as possible; Matcha powder is a ceremonial Japanese
green tea that is more potent than standard green tea; Matcha powder can be
added to smoothies, soups, stews; green tea extracts are also available in
supplement form.
14. The Medicine in Food: there are so many beneficial phytonutrients in a
whole-food-plant-based diet, brilliantly packaged by nature
Cancer fighting chemicals are abundant and
synergistic in plants; a few more:
Apigenin is another wonderful plant chemical in
the phytoestrogen family, present in high
amounts in foods like parsley, celery, many
spices, apples, nuts. A 2015 study in the Journal
ActaNaturae concluded that apigenin was
“found to be the most effective phytoestrogen
that strongly inhibits the growth of breast
cancer cells” (Scherbakov & Andreeva, 2015);
Fermented foods, which help to establish
healthy bacteria levels in the gut, have been
associated with reduction in breast cancer risk
(Aragón, Perdigón, & de Moreno de LeBlanc,
2014); fermented foods are commercially
available and easy to make at home; Pictured: My breakfast salad. Organic arugula, fennel, beet and beet greens,
broccoli sprouts, red cabbage/carrot salad, fermented cabbage with fennel,
apple, juniper berries and celery seed, cucumber, avocado, parsley, cilantro,
strawberries marinated in balsamic vinegar, topped with organic kelp granules;
nutritional yeast; a side of Chaga beverage
15. Magic Mineral Broth
basic recipe link: http://www.rebeccakatz.com/magic-mineral-broth/ ; books by Rebecca Katz include
Clean Soups; The Cancer Fighting Kitchen; The Longevity Kitchen
A large batch will provide plenty of broth
to drink throughout the day or as a base
for stews and soups
The recipe is flexible; steep green tea and dandelion
leaves in the soup for added benefit; the ingredients
can be simmered overnight for a rich broth
16. Medicinal Mushroom Soup
Cancer treatment can reduce appetite and make
eating solid food difficult. This makes nutrient
density in all menu items even more important
Using mineral broth as a base, leeks, garlic, maitake, shiitake,
oyster and white mushrooms are sautéed; a variety of
vegetables including parsley and cashews or walnuts are
added to the pressure cooker; after cooking, additional
mushrooms in powder form, plus turmeric, are added, then
all ingredients are pureed. Thickness can be adjusted with
mineral broth. Citrus and pepper in the recipes make many
spices/ingredients more bioavailable.
