Herbs can be used for both culinary and medicinal purposes. Herbal medicine originated from early humans using plants to treat illnesses. Garlic and ginger have a long history of use in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, and other medicines to treat various conditions. Modern research has found that garlic contains compounds like allicin that have anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory effects. Ginkgo biloba extract contains flavonoids and terpenoids that may have cognitive benefits and antioxidant properties. Herbs like garlic, ginger, ginkgo biloba and others continue to be areas of research interest for their potential health benefits.
The concept of beauty and cosmetics is as ancient as mankind and civilization. Women are obsessed with looking beautiful. So, they use various beauty products that have herbs to look charming and young. Indian herbs and its significance are popular worldwide. An herbal cosmetic have growing demand in the world market and is an invaluable gift of nature. Herbal formulations always have attracted considerable attention because of their good activity and comparatively lesser or nil side effects with synthetic drugs. Herbs and spices have been used in maintaining and enhancing human beauty.

Nutraceuticals is a broad umbrella term that is used to describe any product derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods.Nutraceutical, a portmanteau of the words “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical”, was coined in 1989 by Stephen L. DeFelice, founder and chairman of the Foundation of Innovation Medicine.[1] The term is applied to products that range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and herbal products, specific diets and processed foods such as cereals, soups, and beverages.

L’Aloe vera est une plante à laquelle on attribue de multiples vertus et ce pratiquement depuis l’antiquité. Aujourd’hui la plante se retrouve partout, que ce soit en cosmétique, en pharmacologie, en diététique.
Cette plante est surtout cultivée pour la production de gel d’Aloe vera, le composant majeur des feuilles de la plante ou sont stockées de nombreux métabolites comme les hydrates de carbone, anthraquinones, flavonoïdes, …
Au cours de notre analyse c’est donc naturellement que nous avons d’abord étudié la pulpe d’Aloe vera dont est extrait le gel. Il a été question de comprendre ces éléments structuraux ainsi que les molécules composants le gel. L’effet de la croissance de la plante ainsi que les méthodes de préparation du gel ont aussi été analysé pour comprendre leur influence sur la composition du gel.
Il a ensuite été question des effets pharmacologiques de certaines molécules spécifique. L’aloïne pour ses effets négatifs sur la santé, et une glycoprotéine non caractérisée ayant un effet positif sur la cicatrisation.
L’utilisation du gel d’Aloe vera sur la conservation des fruits a aussi été abordée.
Il ressort de cette analyse que la compréhension des principes actifs de la plante, s’ils existent, restent pour la plupart inconnus, bien que de nombreuses publications attestent d’effets positifs sur la cicatrisation, la stimulation de la réponse immunitaire ou encore de propriétés anticancéreuse.
Il est probable que les effets observés du gel de la plante ne soit pas dus à une seule molécule mais à plusieurs agissant ensembles, ce qui complique la compréhension du mode d’action.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.

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

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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.

2. • A herbaceous plant (in botanical use simply
herb) is a plant that has leaves and stems that
die down at the end of the growing season to
the soil level. They have no persistent woody
stem above ground. Herbaceous plants may
be annuals, biennials or perennials.
2
3. Uses
• Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal and
in some cases spiritual usage.
• General usage differs between culinary herbs and medicinal
herbs.
• In medicinal or spiritual use any of the parts of the plant
might be considered “herbs”, including leaves, roots, flowers,
seeds, resin, root bark, inner bark (the cambium), berries and
sometimes the pericarp or other portions of the plant.
• Culinary use of the term “herb” typically distinguishes
between herbs, from the leafy green parts of the plant (either
fresh or dried) and spices, from other parts of the plant
(usually dried), including seeds, berries, bark, root and fruit.

to the first century A.D.
• From the Roman antiquity through World War I, garlic poultices
were used to prevent wound infections
9
10. • Early 1853, the famous microbiologist, Louis Pasteur,
performed several original work showing that garlic could
kill bacteria
• In 1916, the British government issued a general plea for
the public to supply it with garlic in order to meet wartime
needs.
• Garlic was called “Russian penicillin” during World War II
because, after running out of antibiotic, the Russian
government turned to this ancient treatment for its soldiers
• After World War II, Sandoz Pharmaceuticals manufactured
a garlic compound for intestinal spasms, and the Van Patten
Company produced another for Lowering blood pressure
10
11. Common uses and benefits of garlic
consumption
• Common cold prevention
• Heart disease prevention
• Antiseptic
• Antimicrobial activities

• Known for its green, fan-shaped leaves
that turn yellow in autumn
• Unique seeds (not used in extracts)
• Extracts prepared from dried, green
whole leaves
17
18. Nutritional value
• Alfalfa is high in protein, calcium and other minerals,
vitamins in the B group, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E,
and vitamin K.
• The sun-dried hay of alfalfa has been found to be a
source of vitamin D, containing 48 ng/g (1920 IU/kg)
vitamin D2 and 0.63 ng/g (25 IU/kg) vitamin D3.
• There is reference to vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 being
found in the alfalfa shoot; this is awaiting verification.
• Mushrooms are not allowed in Jain vegetarianism,
making alfalfa the only known source Jains can use to
make vitamin D2 supplements.
18
19. Traditional medicine
• Alfalfa has been used as an herbal medicine for over 1,500
years.
• In early Chinese medicines, physicians used young alfalfa
leaves to treat disorders related to the digestive tract and
the kidneys.
• In Ayurvedic medicine, physicians used the leaves for
treating poor digestion.
• They made a cooling poultice from the seeds for boils.
• At the time, alfalfa was also believed to be beneficial to
people suffering from arthritis and water retention.
• The United States National Institutes of Health reports
there is insufficient evidence to evaluate the medicinal
value of alfalfa.
