Nutrition Facts Label Changes & New Dietary Guidelines by Alice WilkinsonBlake Powers
The new labeling regulations are here! See what's changing and how it may impact your products. The FDA published the final rules in the Federal Register on May 27, 2016. There are also changes to the Daily Values for several nutrients. Most of the published guides are not covering these updates, and they're not that easy to find in the Federal Register. These changes could have a significant impact on your front-of-package claims.
The nutrition label provides key information about the calories, nutrients, and ingredients contained in food items. It lists the serving size, number of servings per container, calories per serving, % daily value of nutrients, limits on fats, cholesterol, sodium, and highlights important vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The label guides consumers in making healthy choices and understanding the nutritional breakdown of packaged foods.
This document provides tips for living a healthier lifestyle, including drinking water before meals, eating whole foods in their natural state, brushing teeth after eating, eating smaller meals more frequently, being active by doing things that involve movement if bored, choosing non-sweet whole foods as snacks, checking nutrition labels for ingredients and serving sizes, and avoiding foods high in trans fat, sugar, and sodium. It also distinguishes between "good" and "bad" preparation methods for foods.

The nutrition facts label provides important information to help consumers make healthy choices. It lists the serving size and calories per serving, including calories from fat. The % daily value helps identify nutrients where less is better, like fat, and nutrients where more is better, like fiber. It's important to limit total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, sugar and calories from added sugars while getting enough vitamins, minerals, fiber and overall calories. Comparing labels allows identification of the healthiest option based on lower fat and sugar and higher nutrient content.
The document provides information on how to read nutrition labels on snacks to determine which is healthiest. It explains that the nutrition facts label contains product-specific information based on a 2,000 calorie diet to allow comparison between snacks.

Footnotes further define values and decisions can be made by comparing multiple labels.
Several common myths about nutrition and health are addressed. Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as fresh. Body weight alone is not always indicative of overall health or diet. Calories, rather than any specific macronutrient like carbohydrates, are what cause weight gain. Fad diets are often not scientifically sound and can be unhealthy. Making overall healthy choices from a variety of food groups and engaging in regular physical activity are keys to good nutrition and health.
This document discusses nutrition labels and food safety. It provides information on reading food labels to understand ingredients and nutritional content.

Nutrition labels provide important information to help consumers make informed food choices. They include the Nutrition Facts table, ingredient list, nutrition claims, and health claims. The Nutrition Facts are based on a standard amount of food, so it's important to compare this to your actual serving size. The % Daily Value helps identify if a food has a little or a lot of a nutrient, with 5% DV or less being a little and 15% DV or more being a lot. Together, all parts of the label can be used to select foods that meet a person's specific dietary needs or goals.
This document provides instructions for reading nutrition labels in 6 steps:
1. Check the serving size and calories per serving
2. Look at nutrients to limit like total fat, saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol
3. Concentrate on nutrients that are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals
4. Review the ingredient list to identify major ingredients
5. Understand what the %DV stands for using the 5% and 20% rules
6. Examples are given to demonstrate how to compare nutrition labels and identify healthier options
The document discusses various nutritional claims and terms found on food packaging that can sometimes be misleading. It provides explanations for common sugar alternatives, describes what terms like "low fat" and "no added sugar" actually mean, and clarifies claims regarding cholesterol, calories, and food labels with certification logos. Key points are that sugar may be listed under other names, "no added sugar" does not mean no sugar at all, and many claims require checking the nutrition information panel for details.
This document provides information and tips for diabetics regarding nutrition labels and making smart food choices. It explains key parts of the nutrition facts label such as serving size, calories, carbohydrates, sugars, fiber, fats, sodium, vitamins, and minerals.

The overall message is that understanding nutrition information is important for diabetics to make informed choices to manage their blood sugar levels.
1. Food labels can be deceptive by using unrealistic serving sizes, listing multiple servings per container without making it clear, and packaging foods in a way that obscures the true contents.
2. Companies may list an amount for calories, fat, or other nutrients but include a footnote that multiplies that amount based on the total number of servings in the container, deceiving consumers about the actual nutritional content.
3. It's important to carefully check serving sizes and servings per container, do the math to calculate total nutritional information, and consider if claims like "strawberry" are truthful when evaluating if a food is healthy.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples.
