Abstract:

We are all consumers and patients and we all know that we have a serious problem, and we all know that there are no simple solutions. That is why there is an urgent need for more multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and trans disciplinary research on food, nutrition and health, breaking down the “silos” between the sectors, considering relevant disciplines such as: agricultural research, economics, and policy; anthropology of food; physiology of food and fluid intake; nutrition and food habits and choices; sociology of diet, food and nutrition; psychology of food and nutrition; food marketing; consumer research; medicine and health; health education; public health; social services and public welfare; supply, demand and public policy. There are substantial differences regarding diet and health, and less substantial differences in the way food functions in the minds and lives of people. There are also differences in the consumers’ experiences and perceptions of food security, self-sufficiency, and of the link between food, nutrition, and health. Beyond the reality that agriculture is the main source of food to meet the consumers’ need for energy and essential nutrients and given that all along the agricultural value chain, there are opportunities to improve nutrition and reduce health risks, we need to look at food systems, considering all the stages from field to fork, starting from the determination of the place where value for nutrition can be integrated, by using risk analysis along the food value chain, and by proving a renewing commitment to nutrition education, which makes a difference in making healthy eating choices, integrating agriculture, nutrition, and health services, which involves focusing the academic research on reflecting both the way the links between agriculture, nutrition and health work, and the adequate way of utilizing the sets of tools that could help to leverage agriculture for better nutrition and health, while continuing to prove the correlation between nutrition and cognitive function and academic performance. We also need to understand and deal with the challenge of considering the integration of health and wellness dimensions, realizing that wellness is a product of a healthy lifestyle, taking into account the contribution of our physical activity to (physical, health-related physical, skill-related physical) fitness as the state in our health characteristics and behavior, as the state affecting physical, mental, and social health.

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), the hormonally active form of vitamin D3, is a lipid-soluble compound that plays a significant role in clinical medicine due to its potent effects on calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. Since foods containing natural vitamin D are rare, the primary source of the compound remains its non-enzymatic dermal synthesis through exposure to ultraviolet rays in sunlight. Although uncommon in most developed countries, recent literature has demonstrated that subclinical vitamin D deficiency can exist in certain populations and plays a role in downstream clinical consequences, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and fractures. This study aims to identify the prevalence and change in the pattern of vitamin D deficiency in subpopulations throughout the United States to provide a foundation for further clinical studies correlating the clinical outcomes to vitamin deficiency. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Data analyzed in this study were collected through National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), specifically from a population of 4962 participants, age ≥20 years, who were hospitalized between 2011 and 2012. This cohort was stratified to divide the population into patients that were vitamin D sufficient (>50 nmol/L) versus patients who were vitamin D deficient (50 nmol/L). The risk factors were compared between the subpopulations in 2005-2006 and 2011-2012.Findings:

Biography:

Dr. V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai, the inventor of email and polymath, holds four degrees from MIT and is a world-renowned systems scientist. He is a Fulbright Scholar, Lemelson-MIT Awards Finalist, First Outstanding Scientist and Technologist of Indian Origin (STIO), Westinghouse Science Talent Honors Award recipient, and was nominated for the U.S. National Medal of Technology and Innovation. In 1982, the US government recognized Ayyadurai as the inventor of email by awarding him the first Copyright for “Email” at a time when Copyright was the only way to protect software inventions. His interest in human health also began early, when as a child, he observed his grandmother, a village farmer and healer, practice Siddha, India’s oldest system of traditional medicine.  This motivated his future study and research in systems biology at MIT, leading to his discovery of Systems Health®, a major breakthrough that provides an integrative framework linking eastern and western medicine. His latest invention CytoSolve®, emerging from his doctoral research at MIT, provides a revolutionary platform for modeling complex biological phenomena, to support the development multi-combination medicines without animal testing. Here is a video link to the State of the Art Lecture Dr. V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai delivered at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (ASCPT).

Abstract:

There is a growing and critical need for integrating molecular systems science with computation to model complex disease processes for accelerating drug discovery, drug repurposing, validation of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies, and identification of efficacious multi-combination therapeutics, while ensuring a personalized and precise medicine. Such needs cannot be advanced without collaborative integration of knowledge across biological disciplines. This talk will share the recent successes, through multiple case studies, in the use of CytoSolve, a computational systems biology collaboratory, developed at M.I.T., that provides an integrative approach to address these critical needs.

Previous approaches, largely based on statistical techniques, have been unscalable and largely useless to scientists who seek to understand complex biological mechanisms. CytoSolve’s successes have been published in peer-reviewed journals and have received recognition in Nature for its potential to develop multi-combination therapies. These successes including: FDA allowance for a multi-combination pancreatic cancer therapeutic; the Department of Defense (DoD) and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) understanding of toxicity and adverse reaction multi-combination nutritional supplements; and, modeling of rare diseases in orphan drug domains such as Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) and Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) have inspired major nutraceutical researchers, cancer centers such as MD Anderson, National Cancer Institute and others to explore the use of CytoSolve for integrating CytoSolve’s collaboratory with modern in vitro and in vivo methods to accelerate the development of multicombination therapeutics. This talk that will provide an introduction to a disruptive platform that will likely revolutionize development of therapeutics in the 21st century.

Abstract:

Objective: The objective of the present study was to study the  effects of treatments on the physicochemical, protein, pasting, dynamic rheological behaviour, SDS- PAGE, amino acid profile, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of rice bran and rice bran protein isolates from treated Sharbati rice

Methodology: Rice (Oryza sativa) bran of Sharbati rice was given three different treatments. Sharbati Golden Sella (SGS); Shrabati Steam (SS); Sharbati White Sella (SWS) was defatted using n-hexane at 1:10 ratio.The Protein isolates (PI) from defatted bran was prepared. Protein content of the isolates was determined by estimating nitrogen content following Kjeldahl method. Proteins was  characterized using  Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE). Thermal properties was evaluated using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Dynamic rheological behaviour of treated rice bran was studied and compared . The amino acid composition was analysed by using amino acid analyser.

Results and Discussion:The present study was evaluated to see the effects of treatment on the physicochemical, protein content, electrophoresis profile, amino acid composition, DSC, FTIR and dynamic rheometer behaviour of bran and protein isolates of Shrabati rice. Amongst the three different treated Sharbati rice , Sharbati Golden Sella rice bran showed a highest protein content and essential amino acids than Sharbati Steam and  Sharbati White Sella.The rice brans of treated Sharbati Rice showed a different rheological behaviour , antioxidant activity and other physicochemical properties.

Conclusion: Sharbati Golden Sella rice bran was the best amonst the treated Sharbati Rice bran.
