This document discusses lipids and their classification. It defines lipids as biological molecules that are soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. Lipids are classified as simple lipids, complex lipids, and derived lipids. Simple lipids include triglycerides and waxes. Complex lipids include phospholipids, glycolipids, and lipoproteins. Phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine are important components of cell membranes. Essential fatty acids like linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid must be obtained through diet.
The document discusses the characteristics and classification of fatty acids. It notes that fatty acids are long chain carboxylic acids that can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids do not contain any double bonds between carbon atoms in the chain. Common saturated fatty acids include palmitic acid, stearic acid, and myristic acid. Physical properties like melting point increase with greater chain length for saturated fatty acids. The document provides details on different types of fatty acids like short chain, medium chain, and long chain fatty acids as well as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Fatty acids are an important component of lipids and contain a carboxyl group and an alkyl group. They are classified based on carbon chain length and saturation. Saturated fatty acids contain only single bonds while unsaturated contain one or more double bonds. Short chain fatty acids have 1-12 carbons, moderate 13-18 carbons, and long chain 19 or more carbons. Unsaturated fatty acids like linoleic and linolenic acids are essential as humans cannot synthesize them. Fatty acids are prepared by hydrolysis of esters with steam or alkali. Physical properties depend on chain length and saturation, with longer or more saturated fatty acids having higher melting points and less solubility.
1) Lipids include fatty acids, fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids. Fats and oils are triglycerides formed from glycerol and three fatty acid molecules.
2) Fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between carbon atoms, giving them higher melting points. Unsaturated fatty acids contain one or more double bonds, making them more kinked and resulting in lower melting points.
3) Triglycerides can be hydrolyzed into glycerol and three fatty acids using water or enzymes. Hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids adds hydrogen to convert double bonds into single bonds. Complete hydrogenation of

This document provides an overview of lipids and fatty acids. It defines key terms related to lipids and fatty acid structure and classification. Lipids are classified as simple or complex lipids and can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated depending on their carbon chain structure. Fatty acids vary in chain length, degree of saturation, and cis/trans configuration. Essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6 must be obtained through diet. The document discusses lipid functions in the body and roles in health.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can be classified as omega-3, omega-6 or omega-9 fatty acids depending on the position of the double bond closest to the methyl end. The most common PUFAs are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), linoleic acid (LA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). PUFAs play important roles in membrane fluidity, eicosanoid production, and modulating the immune system. DHA in particular may reduce inflammation by decreasing NF-kB activation and cytokine production.

Major sources of fats and oils include plants (e.g. oils from seeds), animals (e.g. lard, tallow), and marine sources (e.g. fish oils).
The document discusses food combining and digestion of macronutrients. It notes that some believe combining fats, proteins, and carbohydrates prevents proper digestion, but the conclusion is that it is not an issue to combine all three in a single meal. The document also provides details on the digestion pathways of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the body.
This document discusses lipids and fatty acids. It defines lipids and outlines their classification. Lipids include fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids and sterols. Fatty acids are the building blocks of lipids and can be saturated or unsaturated. The structure and properties of fatty acids are described. Unsaturated fatty acids are important as essential fatty acids that must be obtained through diet. The document also discusses the composition of common oils and fats.
Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids, including saturated and unsaturated varieties. They are classified as simple or complex lipids. Lipids are absorbed in the small intestine and transported to tissues via lipoproteins such as chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL. Lipids are stored as triglycerides in adipose tissue and liver. They provide energy through beta-oxidation in the mitochondria, producing ketone bodies when broken down, or are synthesized into fatty acids and other lipids through lipogenesis. Cholesterol is also synthesized and transported similarly.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Basavarajeeyam is an important text for ayurvedic physician belonging to andhra pradehs. It is a popular compendium in various parts of our country as well as in andhra pradesh.
