The document discusses probiotics, which are living microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed. Probiotics include bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium that are found in foods like yogurt. They play an important role in maintaining a healthy balance of bacteria in the intestines. Probiotics are thought to boost immunity, aid digestion, help prevent intestinal disorders, and may provide other health benefits such as reducing cholesterol and aiding in treatment of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Sources of probiotics include yogurt, kefir, fermented cheeses, kimchi, and supplements.

Beneficial Effects of Probiotics
Introduction: PROBIOTICS are living microorganisms, when taken by mouth, benefit your health by improving the balance of bacteria in the intestines.
Often bacteria, but also include some kinds of yeast.
PROBIOTICS are “good” bacteria or non-pathogenic in healthy people.
Gut contains over 500 different types of beneficial bacteria.
Beneficial functions such as inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria, aiding in digestion, and vitamin-B synthesis.
To consider Bacterium as Probiotics, must meet the following criteria:
It is a microbial organism which is not harmful
It remains alive during processing and the shelf life of the food
It must survive digestion and remain alive in the gut
It is able to bring about a response in the gut
It is associated with health benefits
Common Probiotic Bacteria
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lactobacillus casei
Lactobacillus reuteri
Lactobacillus plantarum
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Bifidobacterium animalis
Bifidobacterium infantis
Bifidobacterium lactis
Bifidobacterium longum
Beneficial Effects of Probiotics
Absorbing and/or destroying toxins released by certain “bad” bacteria that can make you sick.
Producing substances that prevent infection.
Preventing harmful bacteria from attaching to the gut wall and growing there.
Boosting your immune system
Sending signals to your cells to strengthen the mucus in your intestine, which helps it act as a barrier against infection.
Production of B vitamins. Vitamin B is important in maintaining healthy skin, a healthy nervous system and preventing anemia
Decrease gas production and bloating
This is the most comprehensive introduction to Probiotics, little creatures that have been called by some experts as "internal doctors". What they do for your health is mind-boggling, no matter if you are aware of their existence or not. But as much as the "good" bacteria immensely help your health there are also "bad" microbes that are very harmful to you.
There is plenty of information about probiotics. From articles to scientific studies. But who wants to spend hours and hours to finally get confused. That's what many people feel after reading all those publications. Not everyone is a microbiologist to understand the terms so that he/she can connect the dots.
Therefore, we felt that there was something missing — a guide that really starts at the beginning to equip people with a healthy balance of basic knowledge and "actionable" strategies that can be implemented right away. The Beginners Guide to Probiotics gives you exactly that.

At the start of the 20th century, Russian noble prize winner and father of modern immunology, Elie Metchnikoff, a scientist at the Pasteur institute, was the first conceptualize “probiotics”.
In 1907 Metchnokoff proposed that the acid producing bacteria in fermented milk products could prevent “fouling” in the large intestine and if consumed regularly, lead to a longer, healthier life.
In early 1930’s, in Japan, Minoru shirota developed a fermented milk product called Yakult (probiotic yogurt like product made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk with a special strain of Lactobacillus casei shirota).
Probiotic term coined in 1965 by Lilly and StillwellThe human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a highly specialised ecosystem that has evolved over
time, both physiologically and microbiologically. At least in part, this is a consequence of the
host and environmental pressures that it must counteract in order to maintain eubiosis. The
GI tract is one of the most diverse and metabolically active organs in the human body. The
human gut and its microbiota cannot be realistically considered as separate entities as they
represent a dynamic biological system that has co-evolved from birth. The human GI tract
is composed of highly adapted regions for mediation of its diverse functions, many of which
impact markedly upon host health and welfare. Physiological considerations in each unique
region infl uence the degree and type of colonisation and initial colonisers also modify the
physiological conditions therein. This results in the development of distinct microhabitats
along the length of the GI tract, which infl uence metabolism, protection and immune stimulation.
Such effects are both local and systemic as the GI tract is connected to the vascular,
lymphatic and nervous systems. The ability of the gut to sustain its benefi cial microbiota,
against harmful or opportunistic microbiota, in a desirable community structure, is critical
for host health and reduction of disease risk. The focus of this chapter is to discuss how the
complex interplays between the human GI tract and its indigenous microbiota affect host
health and how certain benefi cial microbial species, with their potential for manipulation,
are crucial to this processThe human gastrointestinal tract is sterile up until birth, when microbial colonisation begins
during the delivery process. The inoculum may be largely derived either from the mother’s
vaginal or faecal fl ora (in a conventional birth) or from the environment (in a caesarean
delivery).Hence, the microbiota that colonise the newborn tract are acquired post-natally.
This is of extreme importance in the choice of delivery, as newborns delivered by caesarean
section are exposed to a different microbiota than that of a vaginal delivery. Bacterial
populations develop progressively during the fi rst few days of life; facultative anaerobes
predominate initially and create a reduced environment that allows for the growth of strict

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.

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!

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.
