Curcumin, the compound responsible for the yellow color of turmeric has much more to offer than just its color. Curcumin comes with a plethora of health benefits which makes it a hot topic in the nutraceutical industry. Unleash the world of curcumin and see the reasons why you need to spice it up!
Igennus are excited to announce the launch of our new product, Longvida® Curcumin. During this webinar, Dr Bailey reviews the research behind the therapeutic use of curcumin and why Longvida is the world’s most advanced formulation of the nutrient.
Curcumin is a polyphenol compound obtained from the rhizome of Curcuma longa, also known as turmeric. This Indian spice has a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine as a treatment for inflammatory conditions. Curcumin is well documented for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities. Although it has been shown to be safe at high doses (12g/d), it is poorly absorbed, undergoes rapid intestinal and hepatic metabolism and is rapidly eliminated from the body. As such, standard curcumin demonstrates poor bioavailability, even at high doses, limiting its therapeutic potential.
After much research and discussion (it’s a big and complicated topic!) between the Igennus nutrition scientists, the decision as to which type of curcumin we would use for our Synergistic Nutrients range was actually a very straightforward one. Longvida Curcumin utilises a novel delivery system (SLCP), which protects curcumin from the harsh environment of the stomach and promotes its rapid absorption into the bloodstream and target tissues, even at low doses – resulting in an incredible 285x superior bioavaibility compared with standard curcumin, 65x higher peak plasma levels and 7x longer-lasting action. Longvida is the only formulation proven to deliver high levels of free form, unconjugated curcumin, into the bloodstream. Free form curcumin is the form required for therapeutic benefits, and the only form proven to cross the blood brain barrier.
This webinar covers:
- What curcumin is, what it does and how?
- Why free form curcumin is essential for therapeutic effects
- The research and current evidence for Longvida Curcumin’s unique health benefits
- How Longvida overcomes significant bioavailability issues associated with curcumin use
- To who, why and when you should recommend curcumin

Cytotoxicity of Blended Versus Single Medicinal Mushroom Extracts on Human Ca...Jolene1981
ABSTRACT: The use of mushrooms contributes to human nutrition by providing low lipid content of lipids and high dietary fiber content, as well as significant content of other biologically active compounds such as polysaccharides, minerals, vitamins, and polyphenolic antioxidants. This study aimed to determine the content of polyphenols and polysaccharides, as well as the cytotoxic and antioxidative properties of several medicinal mushroom preparations. The content of total phenols and flavonoids of preparations of blended mushroom extracts (Lentifom, Super Polyporin, Agarikon, Agarikon Plus, Agarikon.1, and Mykoprotect.1) was evaluated quantitatively by using ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy spectrophotometric methods. The antioxidant capacity of the preparations was evaluated using the ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) and ferric reducing/antioxidant power assays. The content of water-soluble polysaccharides was determined using a specific gravimetric method, based on ethanol precipitation. To determine cytotoxic effects of single and blended mushroom extracts, MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) and neutral red assays were conducted using human small cell lung cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, colon cancer, and brain astrocytoma cancer cells. The obtained results suggest that due to the significant content of beneficial polyphenolic antioxidants and soluble polysaccharides, use of these mushroom preparations is beneficial in maintaining good health, as well as in the prevention and adjuvant biotherapy of various human pathological aberrations. These results reveal that these extracts exhibit different cytotoxic effects on tumor cells originating from different tissues. In addition, the comparison of investigated blended mushroom extracts with three well-known commercial mushroom products derived from single mushroom species or single mushroom compounds shows that blended mushroom extracts exhibit significantly stronger cytotoxic effects on human tumor cell lines.

Disease can occur due to alterations in many physiological processes. A variety of factorsare known to be involved in the progression of cancer, a chronic diseasethat occurs due to permissible proliferative signaling, avoiding growth suppressors, resisting cell death, allowing replicative immortality, induction of angiogenesis, and inducing invasion and metastasis, along with reprogramming of metabolic pathways involved in energy production and avoiding the host immune response for cell destruction. Treatment of such a multifactorial disease has very less cure rate because of the singular agents tried in the past for targeting. Molecular level studies with deeper insight are urgently neededthat focus on the most promising herbal-derived bioactive substances for which thorough research was carried out in the literature in various data-bases such as PUB-MED, MEDLINE, SCOPUS indexed journals etc. to look for systematic reviews of the protocols or data interpretation, natural drug/immunological properties and validation. As immune system plays avery important role in the proliferation or suppression of cancer and other autoimmune diseases, It is the dire need to study the effect of such natural compound on the immune system so that a possible drug target or epitope can be identified for the treatment of such diseases. In nutshell there are many nonclinical in vitro and in vivo studies on herbal medicines which commonly supports the traditional therapeutic claims. It has been seen from the previos studies in literature that the yield and composition of bioactive compounds derived from plants are dependent upon the production source,culturing conditions and extraction protocols.Therefore appropriate optimization conditions would certainly assist the medical and scientific fraternity to accept herbal products as potential candidates for cancer treatment. In this article we explored the different natural products, their immunological effects concerning cancer with no or negligible side effects. However,one has to look for potential herb–drug or herb-epitope interactions and how immune system responds to such drugs.

PI3Kinase/AKT/mTOR Pathway in Breast Cancer; Pathogenesis and Prevention with...Dr Varruchi Sharma
The most recurrent and considered second most frequent cause of cancerrelated death in women is the breast cancer worldwide. In breast cancer cases patients are usually diagnosed in the beginning at the curable stage. However, its treatment remains a great clinical challenge. A number of studies have been carried out for the treatment of breast cancer which includes the targeted therapies and increased survival rates in women. Essential PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway activation is observed in most breast cancers. The cell growth and tumor development in this case involves phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K)/ Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. It has been observed, through preclinical and clinical trials, that there are a number of other inhibitors of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, which either alone or in combination with other agents can be used for treatment of cancer. Pre-clinical studies have confirmed that P13K, Akt and mTOR inhibitors achieve anticancer effects by targeting different levels of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. This chapter evaluates the role of mTOR along with some of its inhibitors and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in the pathogenesis and prevention of breast cancer.
The comparison between effects of free curcumin and curcumin loaded PLGA-PEG ...Innspub Net
lung cancer is the most common cancer in men still now. Telomerase is responsible for cancerous cells immortality and is a suitable target for cancer therapy. TRF1 is a modulator for telomerase activity. It is necessary to find more efficient and safer anticancer drugs. Curcumin is a natural polyphenol which has many anticancer effects but it has hydrophobic structure and low solubility in water. PLGA-PEG nanoparticles was used to comprise effects of free curcumin and curcumin loaded PLGAPEG on telomerase and TRF1 expressions in lung cancer cell line. 1H NMR, FT-IR and SEM confirmed PLGA-PEG structure and curcumin loading on it.Then, cytotoxic effects of free curcumin and curcumin loaded PLGA-PEG determined by MTT assay. mRNA expression levels of hTERT and TRF1 was determined by Real-time PCR. MTT assay data analysis indicated that curcumin cytotoxicity is dose and time-dependent. Curcumin loaded nanoparticles showed IC50 values in lower concentration in comparison to free curcumin. Curcumin loaded PLGA-PEG decreased hTERT expression and increased TRF1 expression more than pure curcumin. Our study demonstrates curcumin loaded PLGA-PEG promises a natural and efficient system for
anticancer drug delivery to fight lung cancer. Get the full articles at: http://www.innspub.net/volume-4-number-10-may-2014/

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.

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

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

▪ Curcumin supplements are not regulated in the same way as medications.
▪ Curcumin may interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners.
▪ Curcumin has never been shown to be conclusively effective in a randomized,
placebo-controlled clinical trial for any indication.

48. Curcumin: A Review of Its’ Effects on Human Health (2017)
▪ Turmeric, a spice that has long been recognized for its medicinal properties, has received interest
from both the medical/scientific world and from culinary enthusiasts, as it is the major source of
the polyphenol curcumin.
▪ It aids in the management of oxidative and inflammatory conditions, metabolic syndrome, arthritis,
anxiety, and hyperlipidemia.
▪ It may also help in the management of exercise-induced inflammation and muscle soreness, thus
enhancing recovery and performance in active people.
▪ In addition, a relatively low dose of the complex can provide health benefits for people that do not
have diagnosed health conditions.
▪ Most of these benefits can be attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
▪ Ingesting curcumin by itself does not lead to the associated health benefits due to its poor
bioavailability, which appears to be primarily due to poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid
elimination.
▪ There are several components that can increase bioavailability. For example, piperine is the major
active component of black pepper and, when combined in a complex with curcumin, has been
shown to increase bioavailability by 2000%. Curcumin combined with enhancing agents provides
multiple health benefits.

60. Summary
▪ Turmeric is the rhizome of a plant belonging to the species Curcuma longa.
▪ The bioactive compounds of turmeric are non-volatile curcuminoids and volatile
essential oil.
▪ The main non-volatile curcuminoid is curcumin whereas the main volatile constituent
is aromatic(ar-) turmerone.
▪ Multiple pharmacological activities have been shown in these bioactive compounds:
▪ Antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer,
▪ Anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-diabetic
▪ Neuroprotective, hepatoprotective
▪ The low oral bioavailability of curcumin makes it unsuitable for therapeutic use.
▪ However, its flavor, aroma and medicinal properties have been used as a culinary
spice and traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines for thousands of years.
