High cholesterol can accumulate in arteries and cause life-threatening conditions like heart disease and stroke. The presentation discusses cholesterol, where it comes from, its purpose, and the health risks of high levels. It explains that cholesterol is found naturally but too much can lead to atherosclerosis and block blood flow, potentially causing heart attacks or strokes. The presentation provides tips for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels through diet and exercise.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in every cell of the body that is involved in making chemicals, membranes, and vitamins. It is produced in the liver but also consumed through diet. The amount of cholesterol in the body depends on factors like liver production, clearance from the body, intake of saturated fat, and ingested cholesterol. Too much cholesterol circulates in the bloodstream, where it can clog arteries and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. There are two main types of cholesterol - LDL (bad) and HDL (good). High levels of LDL cholesterol increase risks, while HDL helps remove LDL from arteries and decrease risks.

Dr. Nidhi Sharma presented on the relationship between visceral fat and cognition. Visceral fat surrounds internal organs in the abdomen and is linked to increased disease risk. Recent studies show higher visceral fat is associated with poorer performance on cognitive tasks involving attention and task switching. Childhood obesity and higher visceral fat are also linked to weaker cognitive abilities. Visceral fat may impair cognition through inflammatory pathways and reduced blood flow to the brain. Physiotherapy approaches like aerobic exercise and resistance training can help reduce visceral fat and may have benefits for cognition.

This document provides information on various weight loss strategies and diets, including the body mass index (BMI) scale, hormones that regulate hunger and fullness, anti-inflammatory foods, and specific diets like Atkins, South Beach, and HCG. It discusses how the HCG diet works, allowing 500 calories per day supplemented by HCG injections for 40 days, with structured meal plans and a 6-week maintenance period after. Tips include staying hydrated, eating protein with every meal, and satisfying cravings with brain-healthy foods to support long-term weight management.
The document discusses cholesterol metabolism and ways to lower cholesterol levels. It covers sources of cholesterol from diet and de novo synthesis, roles of cholesterol in the body, and regulation of cholesterol synthesis through HMG CoA reductase and SREBP-2. Methods discussed for lowering cholesterol include statins which decrease HMG CoA reductase activity, bile sequestering agents which bind bile acids preventing reabsorption, and use of oat bran and niacin.
Cholesterol is a lipid found in cell membranes that is essential for life but high levels are associated with health risks. It can be synthesized by the body or absorbed from dietary sources like eggs and meat. While cholesterol itself is necessary, high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol carried in the bloodstream can build up in arteries and increase risk of cardiovascular diseases. Dietary carbohydrates tend to raise triglyceride levels, which are carried by very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and can become dense, smaller LDL particles that are more strongly linked to heart disease. Therefore, high carbohydrate diets may negatively impact heart health more through triglycerides rather than cholesterol itself.

Therefore, high carbohydrate diets may negatively impact heart health more through triglycerides rather than cholesterol itself.
Cholesterol is a lipid that plays several important roles in the body. It is synthesized primarily in the liver from acetyl-CoA and can also be obtained through diet. Cholesterol synthesis is a multi-step process regulated by the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. High levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream, especially LDL cholesterol, increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The body maintains cholesterol homeostasis through mechanisms like reverse cholesterol transport that move cholesterol from tissues back to the liver.
The document summarizes lipid metabolism and fat oxidation. Lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol during digestion. These products are absorbed and transported to the liver via the lymphatic and circulatory systems. In the liver, fatty acids can be used to form phospholipids or stored as fat. Fatty acids undergo beta-oxidation in the cell to produce acetyl-CoA for the Krebs cycle and ATP generation through oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidation of fatty acids yields more energy than carbohydrates.
Cholesterol is synthesized from acetyl-CoA in a multi-step process located in the endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasm. HMG-CoA reductase catalyzes the rate-limiting step and is regulated by transcription, covalent modification, and competitive inhibitors like statins. Cholesterol is transported by LDL and HDL and is used for cell membrane structure, steroid hormone synthesis, or storage.

The document discusses cholesterol, including what it is, how it is produced and obtained from food. It describes the different types of cholesterol (LDL, HDL, triglycerides) and their effects on heart health. Risk factors for high cholesterol are discussed such as diet, weight, family history. Detection methods like blood tests are outlined. Lifestyle changes that can help lower cholesterol are provided, including increasing fiber intake, modifying fat and protein sources, exercising, losing weight and quitting smoking. Medication and supplement options for treating high cholesterol are also summarized.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver and consumed through food. High cholesterol does not cause symptoms but can build up in arteries and lead to heart disease over time. A fasting blood test measures total cholesterol, "bad" LDL cholesterol, "good" HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Lifestyle changes like a low-fat diet, exercise, weight loss, and quitting smoking can help lower cholesterol levels, and medications may be needed if levels remain high despite lifestyle modifications. Long-term management of cholesterol is important for reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases.

This document provides an overview of cholesterol, including what it is, how it affects the body, symptoms of high cholesterol, testing methods, types of cholesterol (LDL, HDL, triglycerides), risk factors, treatment options, and lifestyle changes that can help lower cholesterol levels. The liver produces most of the cholesterol in the body, while a smaller amount comes from food. High cholesterol itself has no symptoms but over time can lead to a buildup of plaque in the arteries and increase the risk of heart disease. Blood tests are used to measure cholesterol levels.
Cardiovascular fitness or cardiovascular fitness is indispensable to improve endurance and promote heart health. By following a good diet, workouts, and yoga asanas, one can maintain a healthy lifestyle. Here is explained everything you need to know about a healthy heart:
This document provides information on controlling cholesterol levels through diet and lifestyle changes. It recommends eliminating animal products and trans fats from the diet, eating more plant-based foods high in fiber, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, stopping smoking, controlling diabetes and blood pressure, and speaking to a doctor about medical factors contributing to high cholesterol. The goal is to lower total cholesterol levels below 160 through these lifestyle modifications in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
High cholesterol occurs when there is too much cholesterol in the blood and no symptoms. It is diagnosed through a blood test and treated through lifestyle changes like diet and exercise or medications. Untreated high cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. It can be caused by diet, genetics, medical conditions, medications, lifestyle factors like smoking, or excess weight. Both children and adults can have high cholesterol, and levels tend to increase with age.
You obtain fats as a sort of nutrition from your food. While eating some fats is necessary, eating too much can be harmful. Your body gets the energy it needs to function correctly from the fats you consume. Your body burns calories from the carbs you’ve consumed while you workout.
The document provides tips for managing cholesterol through diet and lifestyle changes. It recommends eating a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, and unsaturated fats. Regular physical activity, stress management, and following a doctor's advice are also emphasized as important for maintaining cardiovascular health and lowering cholesterol levels.

Heart disease is the number one killer worldwide. It is caused by a buildup of fatty deposits called plaque in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. This buildup is known as atherosclerosis and can lead to coronary artery disease. Risk factors include age, family history, high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol use. Symptoms may include chest pain or pressure and shortness of breath. Prevention focuses on maintaining a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, engaging in regular exercise, not smoking, and monitoring key health metrics like blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Making lifestyle changes and adhering to medical treatment can significantly reduce risk of heart disease.
Lipid profile test is a complete cholesterol test. It revels the levels of “good”, “bad” cholesterol, and triglycerides in your blood. We will further discuss about these terms in the article.
We all get worried about having high cholesterol and often avoid oily food.
But what is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat that is soft and needed for your body to function in a healthy manner. But excess of cholesterol leads to:
Heart diseases
Clogging or hardening of arteries.
Stroke
Who is at risk of high cholesterol?
In the following cases you could be at risk of high cholesterol:
You have a family history of high cholesterol
Obese or overweight
Excessive smoking and drinking alcohol frequently
Sedentary lifestyle
You suffer from diabetes,
Often women suffer from polycystic ovarian syndrome, or underactive thyroid glands.
5 Tests of lipid panel:
Total cholesterol:
This includes the complete cholesterol level i.e. a combination of LDL-C, VLDL-C and HDL-C.
LDL cholesterol or Low-density lipoprotein:
This is often referred to as “bad cholesterol” since it is easier for everyone to understand that it is harmful for our health. It can get collected in your blood vessels and increase risk of cardiovascular disease.
VLDL very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol:
This type of cholesterol is present in low amounts when the blood sample is tested after fasting because, it mostly comes from recently consumed food. An increase in VLDL in the fasting sample might indicate abnormal lipid metabolism.
HDL or high-density lipoprotein:
It is commonly known as “good cholesterol”. It helps to decrease the build-up of LDL in your blood vessels.
Triglycerides:
It’s a type of fat from consumed food. Excess of triglycerides indicates that you might suffer from cardiovascular disease and pancreatic inflammation.
Why would your doctor recommend a lipid profile test?
It is a routine test to check if your cholesterol levels are normal or it falls into a borderline, intermediate or high-risk category.
If your results have been abnormal in the previous test it needs to be monitored as the doctor would like to check if you face the risk of heart disease.
It helps to diagnose other health challenges like liver disease.
The doctor would want to monitor your body’s response to the treatment prescribed for cholesterol or lifestyle changes.
Also, if your doctor observes that you face the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, he/she might recommend frequent lipid profile testing. Any elevation in cholesterol levels has to monitored.
What are the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases?
You are a man above the age of 45 years or a woman above the age of 50 years.
High cholesterol levels noticed in the prior test.
You are obese.
You smoke cigarettes frequently.
Untreated and unmonitored high blood pressure or hypertension.
You are diabetic or prediabetic.
Heart disease is the number one cause of death worldwide. It is caused by a buildup of fatty deposits called plaque in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. This buildup is known as atherosclerosis and can lead to coronary artery disease. Risk factors include age, family history, high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity. To prevent heart disease, one should eat a healthy diet low in fat and cholesterol, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, not smoke, control blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and see a doctor to monitor risk factors. Making lifestyle changes can significantly reduce risk and help live a longer, healthier life.

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.

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).
