The document summarizes several key factors that influence human nutrient intake:
1) The quality and quantity of food consumed, which can be affected by pesticide use, availability of resources, and climate conditions.
2) Age, as nutrient needs change from infancy to childhood to adulthood to old age due to different growth and physiological stages.
3) Environmental weather, as people tend to eat more during cold weather to maintain body temperature.
4) Occupation and physical activity levels, as more active jobs require more energy and specific nutrients.
Diet does not substitute drugs but it is considered a complementary therapy.
The goals of dietary advice are:
To prevent or manage some medical conditions
To maintain or improve health through the use of appropriate and healthy food choices
To achieve and maintain optimal metabolic and physiological outcome
Eating a diet high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes.
Choosing lean, low-fat sources of protein.
Limiting sweets, soft drinks, and foods with added sugar.
Including proteins, carbohydrates, and a little good fat in all meals and snacks.
Diet therapy is a broad term for the alteration or adoption of a diet to prevent or treat a disease or to simply promote optimum health.
In some cases, an alternative dietary lifestyle plan may be developed to eliminate certain foods to reclaim health.
An incorrect diet can cause not only weight gain and skin conditions but may promote exhaustion and fatigue.
Depending on the disease, if you do not follow the diet advised to you by a specialist it may have serious consequences on your health.
A good diet can prevent various diseases.

Nutrition is the study of the nutrients in food and how they nourish the body.
Nutrients are components of food that are needed for the body to function
Constipation occurs When the waste material or the stool moves very slowly via large intestine.Here are the foods to be included for constipation diet.
Professor Lynch’s seminar placed the context of nutrition and in particular early life nutrition in an overall population health perspective. He traced some of the evidence for the historical importance of nutrition on improvements in population health in several countries since the 1850s. He then traced the links between the role adult diet plays in various chronic diseases, through the evidence suggesting the developmental origins of adult nutrition, and discussed how the current research focus of his early life nutrition group at UniSA is attempting to characterize diet in children under 3 and examine associations with physiological risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as cognitive functioning at ages 15-16
Atherosclerosis is a condition in which cholesterol calcium and biochemical waste are deposited in the walls of blood vessels. It is an underlying cause of most heart attacks and strokes.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

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

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

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
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

2. FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE NUTRITION INTAKE IN HUMAN
There are a lot of factors that can affect the nutrition intake in human. Here are some
factors that we want to highlight.
The quality and quantity of food that human take.
The quality of food can be determine based on the external factor such as appearance (size,
shape, colour, gloss, and consistency), flavor; texture and internal factors such as chemical,
physical and microbial of food. Chemicals added to the crops and livestock can influence the
quality of food that we usually take. Excessive use of pesticides for vegetable plantation can
decrease the quality of vegetable and lead to decrease the nutrition value in human if we
consumed it as food. The examples of pesticides that can be used in agriculture are
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)-used to kill insects-, acetylcholinesterase inhibitor –used
to kill snails-, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) –used to kill unwanted plants- and many
more. The excessive use of these pesticides can contaminate the agricultural based food product.
When this contaminate food enter our body system, it can lead the formation of the free radical
particles. Free radicals are unstable atoms or groups of atoms that contain at least one unpaired
electron. Free radicals can attack healthy cells because another atom or molecule can bond to it
easily since it contains unpaired electron. A chemical reaction will take place and may damages
that healthy cell. This can lead to cancer and initiate other serious disease. So, it is clear that the
low quality of food that we consumed can decrease our nutrition intake.
In the other hand, quantity of food may be referring to the source of food. Malaysia is a
country which has equatorial climate, being hot and humid throughout the year which is good for
agriculture activities. But, Malaysia still cannot produce enough rice and other food products to
supply the country since Malaysia is populated with hills and does not have strong temperature
climate. But, we still manage to settle this problem by importing food from other countries.
Besides that, Malaysia is bounded by water, including the South China, Sulu, and Celebes seas,
and the Strait of Malacca. So, these enable fishery activities can take place effectively and
provide us with mass food resources. Thus, Malaysians can have a perfect nutrient content if we
take a balance diet. Compare to Somalia, which currently suffer from great drought that limited
their food source. That is why most of Somalia’s people do not a perfect nutrient needed by body
and lead to malnutrition.
3. Age
As we human grow, the nutrition that we take daily will eventually change to suit our
condition and growing process. This is due to the aging factor that the person is experiencing
where the needs for the nutrients are changing from time to time. As for infant that was born,
they only feed on milk and lactation. This is because they acquired most their nutrients from
breastfeeding. The mother’s milk is the best nutrition for baby because they don’t have any teeth
yet to chew solid food and mother’s milk contains the nutrients baby needed and it also enriched
with antibodies that supplied from the mother. While for children and adolescents, they need
more nutrients to supply adequate essential energy because at this phase they are having rapid
change in body size due to the rapid development of muscle and formation of bone. Puberty also
contribute to the increase on nutrients intake to complete maturation process and grow. While for
the adults, they are having slower growth rate and this to repair any tissues and thus they
maintaining their nutrients intake. As for the old people, they are mostly focusing in a healthy
diet and focus on intake of vitamin and other nutrients due to the loss of lean body mass.
Environment’s Weather
Environment factor is one of factors that affecting people’s nutritional intake is. We
are focusing more on the weather itself. People are more likely to consume more food during the
cold rather than hot weather. So, we will tend to eat more during the cold season, for us in
Malaysia probably in raining season. This is because of the body need to maintain the body’s
temperature to let the body’s to function well. In order the body to achieve that, the body need
more energy from food and more likely carbohydrate-rich food like rice, bread and else to keep
the body’s core at the optimum temperature. However, when it’s come to hot weather, our body
needs to be cooled and maintain. Therefore, more liquids must be taken in order to keep our
body sweat to cool it down.
Occupation and Physical Activities
Nutrients give the energy that need to perform the daily activities of living. Food may
contain a few or many nutrients and each nutrient has specific uses in the body. The amount of
energy used by the body is the energy expenditure and this varies widely from individual to
individual. In this case the factors that influence the nutrition taken by human are according to
4. occupation and physical activities. This is because when we do more work than our body
requires more energy to keep our bodies still in healthy condition. Workers like coal miners,
steel workers, forestry workers, army recruits, builder’s laborers’ and athletics’ need more food
that contains more nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and fats. Those classes of food
important to give energy that required to sustain the function of the body such as physical work,
maintenance, respiration and circulation. Energy comes from the food eaten and released in the
body to yield the chemical energy needed to sustain metabolism, nerve transmissions and
circulation. In addition, occupations are classified according to how active they are workers.
Sedentary work like office workers, clerical tasks, pilots, lawyer and teachers need less of energy
requirement and different types of nutrition they need to take. This is because their job does not
require a lot of energy to do work. It is important that meals for very active jobs to provide
sufficient energy, and it is advisable to supply about one third of third of the energy in the form
of fat as carbohydrates food tend to be bulky and would therefore be difficult to digest while
working actively. Extra water and sodium chloride should be taken if work is carried out in a hot
atmosphere.
EMOTIONAL FACTORS
The very young infant will generally cry until fed but by four or five months of age may
stop crying when he hears his mother’s footsteps or sees that the formula is being prepared,
presumably having learned to anticipate and to wait for the relief of hunger pain. In later life, the
period of tantalizing anticipation before a meal may actually be considered pleasurable, The
repetitive cycle of nutritional and emotional gratification during infancy becomes further
associated with the person giving the food, usually the mother, so that being loved and fed come
to be associated in the mind of infant. Research has proved that the rate of secretion of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach of a 15-month-old girl with gastric fistula was shown to
increase during period of social contact with a loved person and to decrease when approached by
a stranger.
As a conclusion, these factors are vital for your nutrient intake. Choose a good diet
because you are what you eat.
