                             Olive(Olea europaea)



Olive
is belongs to the the family Oleaceae, native to the coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean Basin and south end of the Caspian Sea. Its fruit, is also called the olive and the source of olive oil.


Olive Oil: Fat Contains
1. Saturated fats
a. Palmitic acid
b. Stearic acid
c. Arachidic acid
d. ehenic acid
e. Myristic acid
f. Lignoceric acid

2. Unsaturated fat

3. Monounsaturated fats
a. Oleic acid
b. Palmitoleic acid

4. Polyunsaturated fats
a. Linoleic acid
b. Linolenic acid


Health Benefits
A. Health Benefits according to studies
1. Cardiovascular health
In the investigation of the olive oil of the primary source of fat used in Mediterranean diet, found that olive oil consumption could contribute to explaining the low rate of cardiovascular mortality found in southern European-Mediterranean countries, according to "Olive oil and cardiovascular health" by Covas MI, Konstantinidou V, Fitó M.(a)

2. Olive oil phenolics
In the evaluation of the olive oil phenolics of the Mediterranean diet and its lower incidence of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer, found that olive oil phenolics have positive effects on certain physiological parameters, such as plasma lipoproteins, oxidative damage, inflammatory markers, platelet and cellular function, and antimicrobial activity, according to "Chemistry and health of olive oil phenolics" by Cicerale S, Conlan XA, Sinclair AJ, Keast RS.(b)

3. Antioxidants and weight loss
In the analyzing the influence of a Mediterranean dietary pattern on plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC) found that Mediterranean diet, especially rich in virginolive oil, is associated with higher levels of plasma antioxidant capacity. Plasma TAC is related to a reduction in body weight after 3 years of intervention in a highcardiovascular risk population with a Mediterranean-style diet rich in virgin olive oil, according to "A 3 years follow-up of a Mediterranean diet rich in virgin olive oil is associated with high plasma antioxidant capacity and reduced body weight gain" by Razquin C, Martinez JA, Martinez-Gonzalez MA, Mitjavila MT, Estruch R, Marti A.(c)

4. Anti cancers
In assessment of the intake of olive oil in daily diet and its anti-cancers effect found that compared with the lowest, the highest category of olive oil consumption was associated with lower odds of having any type of cancer (log odds ratio = -0.41, 95%CI -0.53, -0.29, Cohran's Q = 47.52, p = 0.0002, I-sq = 62%); the latter was irrespective of the country of origin (Mediterranean or non-Mediterranean). Moreover, olive oil consumption was associated with lower odds of developing breast cancer (logOR = -0,45 95%CI -0.78 to -0.12), and a cancer of the digestivesystem (logOR = -0,36 95%CI -0.50 to -0.21), compared with the lowest intake, maccording to "Olive oil intake is inversely related to cancer prevalence: a systematic review and a meta-analysis of 13,800 patients and 23,340 controls in 19 observational studies" by Psaltopoulou T, Kosti RI, Haidopoulos D, Dimopoulos M, Panagiotakos DB.(d)

5. Healthy effect of virgin olive oil
According to "International conference on the healthy effect of virgin olive oil" by

Perez-Jimenez F, Alvarez de Cienfuegos G, Badimon L, Barja G, Battino M, Blanco A, Bonanome A, Colomer R, Corella-Piquer D, Covas I, Chamorro-Quiros J, Escrich E, Gaforio JJ, Garcia Luna PP, Hidalgo L, Kafatos A, Kris-Etherton PM, Lairon D, Lamuela-Raventos R, Lopez-Miranda J, Lopez-Segura F, Martinez-Gonzalez MA, Mata P, Mataix J, Ordovas J, Osada J, Pacheco-Reyes R, Perucho M, Pineda-Priego M, Quiles JL, Ramirez-Tortosa MC, Ruiz-Gutierrez V, Sanchez-Rovira P, Solfrizzi V, Soriguer-Escofet F, de la Torre-Fornell R, Trichopoulos A, Villalba-Montoro JM, Villar-Ortiz JR, Visioli F. indicated that
5.1. Ageing represents a great concern in developed countries because the number of people involved and the pathologies related with it, like atherosclerosis, morbus Parkinson, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, cognitive decline, diabetes and cancer.
5.2. Epidemiological studies suggest that a Mediterranean diet (which is rich in virgin olive oil) decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
5.3. The Mediterranean diet, rich in virgin olive oil, improves the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as the lipoprotein profile, blood pressure, glucose metabolism and antithrombotic profile. Endothelial function, inflammation and oxidative stress are also positively modulated. Some of these effects are attributed to minor components of virgin olive oil. Therefore, the definition of the Mediterranean diet should include virgin olive oil.
5.4. Different observational studies conducted in humans have shown that the intake of monounsaturated fat may be protective against age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.
5.5. Microconstituents from virgin olive oil are bioavailable in humans and have shown antioxidant properties and capacity to improve endothelial function. Furthermore they are also able to modify the haemostasis, showing antithrombotic properties.
5.6. In countries where the populations fulfilled a typical Mediterranean diet, such as Spain, Greece and Italy, where virgin olive oil is the principal source of fat, cancer incidence rates are lower than in northern European countries.
5.7. The protective effect of virgin olive oil can be most important in the first decades of life, which suggests that the dietetic benefit of virgin olive oil intake should be initiated before puberty, and maintained through life.
5.8. The more recent studies consistently support that the Mediterranean diet, based in virgin olive oil, is compatible with a healthier ageing and increased longevity. However, despite the significant advances of the recent years, the final proof about the specific mechanisms and contributing role of the different components of virgin olive oil to its beneficial effects requires further investigations.(e)

6. Etc.
B. Health Benefits according to concentration
1. Oleic acid
a. Postnatal development of the brain
In the investigation of albumin, a serum protein present in the developing brain, stimulates the synthesis of oleic acid by cultured astrocytes by inducing stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase, the rate-limiting enzyme in oleic acid synthesis, found thatoleic acid induces neuronal differentiation, as indicated by the expression of growth associated protein-43. Here, we report that the expression of growth associated protein-43 mRNA peaks at about day 7 after birth, following the maximal expression of stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase-1 mRNA that occurs between days 3 and 5 postnatally, according to "Role of oleic acid as a neurotrophic factor is supported in vivo by the expression of GAP-43 subsequent to the activation of SREBP-1 and the up-regulation of stearoyl-CoA desaturase during postnatal development of the brain" by Velasco A, Tabernero A, Medina JM.(I)

b. Parkinson's disease
In the evaluation of heterozygous mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene leading to an increased risk for and to more severe alpha-synuclein-associated pathology in Parkinson's disease found that Parkinson's disease patients with a heterozygous glucocerebrosidase mutation had lower levels of palmitoleic (P ≤ .007), oleic (P ≤ .016), linoleic (P ≤ .005), arachidonic (P ≤ .003), eicosapentaenoic (P ≤ .003) and decosahexaenoic (P ≤ .03) acids and lower levels of total fatty acids (P < .005) compared with both idiopathic Parkinson's disease patients and control subjects, according to "Cerebrospinal fluid fatty acids in glucocerebrosidase-associated Parkinson's disease" by Schmid SP, Schleicher ED, Cegan A, Deuschle C, Baur S, Hauser AK, Synofzik M, Srulijes K, Brockmann K, Berg D, Maetzler W.(II)

c. Lipid and calcium content
In the classification of the influence of olive oil (00) enriched diet on the lipid content of mice brain during the early phase of liver regeneration and to test a relationship of these changes with calcium content over 21 days with diet enriched with olive oil, containing predominantly oleic acid (18:1n-9) found that monounsaturated oleic acid might interact with some metal-dependent activities that control changes in the brain during liver regeneration, according to "Effect of olive oil on brain's lipid and calcium content after partial hepatectomy in mice" by Pantović R, Tota M, Stefan L, Milin C.(III)

d. Etc.

2. Linoleic acid
a. Weight loss
In the investigation of a diet containing conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) reduced body weight and body fat mass in the animal model as well as in human trials found that CLA is functional as an antiobesity supplement in the mouse model for postmenopausal women and that the antiobesity effect of CLA is not estrogen related, according to "Conjugated linoleic acid reduces body weight gain in ovariectomized female C57BL/6J mice" by Kanaya N, Chen S.(IV)

b. Insulin sensitive
In the determonation of Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)and its effect on insulin sensitivity, found that the use of a mixture of both isomers, as well as moderate doses of CLA, is able to induce a reduction of fat gain without an impairment of adipose tissue function while preserving insulin sensitivity, according to"Moderate doses of conjugated linoleic acid isomers mix contribute to lowering body fat content maintaining insulin sensitivity and a noninflammatory pattern in adipose tissue in mice" by Parra P, Serra F, Palou A.(V)

c. Skin diseases
In the evaluation of (+/-)-13-Hydroxy-10-oxo-trans-11-octadecenoic acid (13-HOA) of the lipoxygenase metabolites of linoleic acid (LA) from corn germ and its inhibited effect oninflammation in ears and skin, as well as tumor promotion in female ICR mice, found that 13-HOA may be a novel anti-inflammatory and antitumor chemopreventive agent with a unique mode of action, according to "Linoleic acid metabolite suppresses skin inflammation and tumor promotion in mice: possible roles of programmed cell death 4 induction" by Yasuda M, Nishizawa T, Ohigashi H, Tanaka T, Hou DX, Colburn NH, Murakami A.(VI)

3. Etc.

C. Other health benefits

1. Decreases the risk of atherosclerosis
Oleic acid is one of the unsaturated fatty acid that has larger molecules and do not bond with other molecules that decreases the risk of cholesterol oxidation forming plaques, blocking the arteries, thus reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, according to "Oleic acid induces smooth muscle foam cell formation and enhances atherosclerotic lesion development via CD36" by Ma S, Yang D, Li D, Tang B, Yang Y.(1)

2. Free radical

Oleic acid contains high amount of andioxidant that helps to improve the immune system in fighting against the forming of free radicals cause of lipid peroxidation, according to "Effect of dietary high-oleic-acid oils that are rich inantioxidants on microsomal lipid peroxidation in rats" by Perona JS, Arcemis C, Ruiz-Gutierrez V, Catalá A.(2)


3. Cholesterol

Palmitoleic acid is one of the monounsaturated fat that lowers your overall cholesterol by raising the levels of good cholesterol (HDL), according to "Effects of dietary palmitoleic acid on plasma lipoprotein profile and aortic cholesterolaccumulation are similar to those of other unsaturated fatty acids in the F1B golden Syrian hamster" by Matthan NR, Dillard A, Lecker JL, Ip B, Lichtenstein AH.(3)


4. Menstrual cramps and pain
Linoleic acid is an omega 6 essential polyunsaturated fatty acid that forms the lipid component of all cell membranes in our body. Since it is balanced by linolenic acid in the olive oil, it reduces the risk of over active abdominal muscle that cause menstrual pain, according to "Metabolism of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in women with dysmenorrhea" by
Wu CC, Huang MY, Kapoor R, Chen CH, Huang YS.(4)

7. Etc.

Health Benefits
1. Gentisides C-K
Nine new alkyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoates, gentisides C-K, were isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Gentiana rigescens Franch., these metabolites are additional members of the gentisides which belong to a novel class of neuritogenic compounds. They are structurally different from one another because they possess varying alkyl chain lengths, with or without an isobutyl or isopropyl group at the end of the alkyl chain. These compounds are potent inducers of neurite outgrowth on PC12 cells(1).

2. Antiplatelet and vasorelaxing
In the futher isolated from the whole plant of Gentiana arisanensis Hayata, a new flavone C-glycoside, isovitexin 6″-O-glucoside (1), and three known flavonoids, quercetin, isovitexin, and luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, have been identified. Of the compounds tested, 6 showed potent antiplatelet effects on arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation (IC50 = 43.5 microM). Compound luteolin (6), depressed markedly the contraction induced by Ca2+ (1.9 mM) in high-K+ (80 mM) medium, with an IC50 of about 156 microM and also inhibited noradrenaline (3 microM)-induced phasic and tonic contractions, with an IC50 of about 68 and 72 microM, respectively(2).

                                   Colitis


Colitis is defined as a condition of inflammation of the large intestine, including the colon, caecum and rectum.

                             Types of Colitis

According to the study by Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, types of colitis include
microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, segmental colitis associated with diverticula, radiation colitis, diversion colitis, eosinophilic colitis and Behcet's colitis(a).


                       The Symptoms 

1. Abnomial pain and Diarrhea
There is a report of a 25-year-old Iranian gentleman was admitted to hospital with severe bloody diarrhoea and abdominal pain as a result of herbal induced weight loss adversed effects. On flexible sigmoidoscopy, a continuous length of congested mucosa with multiple small ulcers was seen extending up to the mid-transverse colon, in keeping with ulcerative colitis, according to the study by
Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust(1)

2. Bleeding per rectum
Acute ischaemic colitis (AIC) is being increasingly recognised as an uncommon cause of abdominal pain associated with fresh bleeding per rectum and and diarrhoea, according to the study by University Central Hospital(2).

3. Distention with bloody diarrhea
The typical clinical presentation is acute sudden abdominal pain and distention with bloody diarrhea(3).

4. Abdominal bloating and flatulence
In the study to estimate the prevalence of microscopic colitis and SIBO in patients with IBS, to evaluate the symptoms and the efficacy of treatment found that out of the 132 patients initially diagnosed with IBS 3% (n=4) had microscopic colitis and 43.9% (n=58) had SIBO. Diarrhea was the main symptom in patients with microscopic colitis and SIBO (p=0.041), while abdominal pain, abdominal bloating and flatulence were prominent in IBS patients (p=0.042; p=0.039; p=0.048)(4).

5. Changes in bowel habits
Abdominal pain, bloating, early satiety, and changes in bowel habits are common presenting symptoms in individuals with functional GI disorders(5).

6. Fever and severe dehidration
There is a report of a 19-year-old man with a 1-year history of ulcerative colitispresented with fever, bloody diarrhea and severe dehidration. He was on po.48 mg methylprednisolon and 3 g mesalazine daily, and has recently finished taking chlarythromycin for Campylobacter jejuni infection(6).

7. Urgency
In the study to examine the differing perspectives and perceptual gaps relating to ulcerative colitis (UC) symptoms and their management between patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs), indicated that fifty-five percent of patients stated that UC symptoms over the past year had affected their quality of life, while physicians and nurses estimated that 35% to 37% of patients would have a reduced quality of life over the same period. Patients ranked urgency and pain as the most bothersome symptoms(7)

8. Other symptoms
There is a report of a case of a 51-year-old Caucasian male who was evaluated for abdominal pain, elevated liver enzymes, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, severe peripheral arthralgias, and chronic watery diarrhea as result of granulomatous enterocolitis. due to Sarcoidosis(8).

           Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD/ADD)

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD/ADD) also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a chronic disease occurs in certain age and years of a children, defined as a condition with characteristics of co-existence of attentional problems and hyperactivity. It effects about 5% of the all children in the world with boys have 3-4 times higher risk than girl. Over one third of children with ADHD will have continued symptoms existed into their adult life.


                          ADHD Diagnosis


Diagnosis depending to the observation of the symptoms of the children with ADHD and answering to questions about past and present problems, and a medical exam is also important to rule out other causes for symptoms. The diagnosis of children with development A is always a stressful and time consuming road for both parent and children, because each doctor in conventional medicine mostly specializes in one field and can not make any suggestion outside of his or her professional judgement. You may be recommended to see other specialists if one found to be necessary. Since ADHD is complex disease, it requires a team of doctor before it can be diagnosed correctly and many wrong diagnosis have been done, leading to overwhelming pressure and time wasting to the parent and their children. Fortunately, many cases of ADHD have been correctly diagnosed and are treated accordingly.
To avoid wasting your time, here is the basic list of doctors and specialists who have been required for all children with development disorder to be diagnosed correctly.
1. Development and behaviour pediatrician
2. Paediatric neurologist
3. Children psychiatrist
4. Children psychologist
5. Developmental/Behavioral Pediatricians
6. Occupational therapist
7. Neuropsychologists
8. Behavioral therapy
9. Social worker
Some children may require more or less specialists than the list above in their road to find a cure, but we believe the list is a basic team for fast and corrected diagnosis.

                    Overcome Infertility 

Infertility is defined as inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. It effects over 5 millions couple alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of unawareness of treatments, only 10% seeks help from professional specialist.

         What Exhibits Testicle Problem to Cause Infertility


1. Biking
Biking may be a healthy sport but biking off the mountain road it may injure the penis and cause the scrotum problem including lower sperm production and interfering with natural selection in the body. It is advice for people to take precaution to avoid swelling, pain or damaging the reproductive system.

2. Immune system
Immune system plays an important role in fighting the forming of free radical and foreign invasion such as bacteria and virus. Any infection or allergic reaction in the body may cause over production of antibody leading to immune system attacking fetus and the sperm which interferes the sperm quality, movement and sperm cervical invasion.

3. Aspirin overdose
It is said that small dose of aspirin help to increase fertility in women by increasing the coagulant effects and decreasing the risk of antibody attacking the fetus. Over dose of aspirin may damage the stomach lining in absorbing vital vitamins and minerals leading to infertility and birth defect.

4. Medical condition
Medical condition such as azoospermia which reduces the level of sperm in his semen caused by blocking of the reproductive tract including blocking of the epididymis, seminal vesicles and ejaculation ducts resulting in infertility.

5. Heredity
Epipadas is a type of birth defect in which the urethra ends in an opening on the upper aspect of the penis leading to abnormal ejaculation and interfering with penis erection.

6. Testicular cancer
Testicular cancer is defined as forming of free radicals in the testicle becoming cancerous in the testicle. Study show that men with poor quality and quantity of sperm production is considered as high risk to develop testicle cancer.

7. Testicular enzyme defect
A congenital enzyme defect that interfere with normal process of the testes in sperm production as resulting of inability of the test in responding to hormone stimulation.

                         Thyroid disease


Thyroid disease is defined as a condition of malfunction of thyroid. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is over active and produces too much thyroid hormones.


             Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome

Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome is defined as a condition of which affected individuals have elevated serum thyroid hormone levels and inappropriately normal or elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) but are usually clinically euthyroid and require no treatment. Selective pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone (PRTH) is characterized by resistance in the pituitary gland but not in peripheral tissues(a).

               The Misdiagnosis and Diagnosis


The Misdiagnosis
1. Hyperthyroidism
There is a report of an isolated case of RTH initially misdiagnosed as hyperthyroidism, and detail the investigations which ultimately led to the correct diagnosis(23).

2. Falsely diagnnosis
There is a report of a 63-year-old woman was referred because of suspected SITSH. Laboratory tests showed a normal TSH (0.52 μIU/L; normal range: 0.5-5.0) measured by sandwich Elecsys, and elevated FT4 (3.8 ng/dL; normal range: 0.9-1.6) and FT3 (7.6 pg/mL; normal range: 2.3-4.0), determined by competitive Elecsys. To exclude possible assay interference, aliquots of the original samples were retested using a different method (ADVIA Centaur), which showed normal FT4 and FT3 levels. Eight hormone levels, other than thyroid function tests measured by competitive or sandwich Elecsys, were higher or lower than levels determined by an alternative analysis. Subsequent examinations, including gel filtration chromatography, suggested interference by substances against ruthenium, which reduced the excitation of ruthenium, and resulted in erroneous results(24). Other suggested that patients with TSH-secreting pituitary tumors(TSHoma) also manifest SITSH. Thus, the differential diagnosis of RTH vs. TSHoma is sometimes difficult and challenging. In this review article, the etiology of RTH and diagnostic approach for SITSH are explained and an algorithm for differential diagnosis of RTH vs. TSHoma is proposed(25).

3. Coexistence of mutation genes
There is a report of the coexistence of THRB and TBG gene mutations in the same individual (mother of the proband), whereas other affected family members had only 1 of the 2 genes mutated. The case illustrates the difficulty that might be encountered in the interpretation of thyroid function tests when different genetic defects affecting thyroid function coexist(26).

4. Grave’s disease
RTH is often misdiagnosed as Graves’ disease. However, these disorders can coexist, and the concurrent presence of both disorders in a patient can present diagnostic challenges. A previous report of a patient with Graves’ disease associated with RTH was published before gene sequencing could be used to confirm diagnosis of RTH. There is a report of a patient with Graves’ disease and concurrent RTH that was confirmed by gene sequencing, showing a mutation in the thyroid hormone receptor beta gene(27).

The. Diagnosis
If you are experience certain symptoms of the above and your doctor suspects that you have developed acute thyroiditis, after recording the past and present history and completing a physical exam, the tests which your doctor orders may include
1. Urinary test
Urinary cortisol metabolites are altered both quantitatively and qualitatively in thyroid dysfunction. According to the study by the Showa University, the ratio of the urinary concentrations of cortisol metabolites, THE/THF, appears to be a good marker for peripheral thyroid hormone resistance(28).

2. Blood test
Unfortunately, the blood test results of the disorder can also be found in other disorders such as TSH-oma (pituitary adenoma), or other pituitary disorders. According to the study by the Nagoya University, almost all patients with RTH manifest unsuppressed thyrotropin (TSH) despite elevated free-T4 and free-T3 levels. This abnormal finding in the thyroid function test is termed “syndrome of inappropriate secretion of TSH” (SITSH) or “central hyperthyroidism”. Patients with TSH-secreting pituitary tumors(TSHoma) also manifest SITSH. Thus, the differential diagnosis of RTH vs. TSH-oma is sometimes difficult and challenging(29).

3. Identifying a mutation of the thyroid receptor
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a rare condition usually diagnosed in patients with classic thyroid function tests (TFTs) of elevated thyroid hormone levels with nonsuppressed TSH. According to the study by the, At least six major steps are required for secreted thyroid hormone (TH) to exert its action on target tissues. Mutations interfering with three of these steps have been so far identified. The first recognized defect, which causes resistance to TH, involves the TH receptor β gene and has been given the acronym RTH(30).

Obesity is a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime, while overweight is a condition of excess body weight relatively to the height. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered over weight, while a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.

You can calculate your BMI index BMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

The Studies of Progesterone receptor gene (PGR) variants and breast cancer risk


In the study of evaluated 8 PGR candidate SNPs and 18 PGR tagging SNPS in 487 breast cancer cases and 843 controls using multivariable logistic regression with adjustment for combined hormone replacement therapy use, posted inPubMed, conducted for European Americans (EA: 399 cases, 490 controls) and African Americans (AA: 88 cases, 353 controls), indicated that In EAs, no significant associations were observed with the investigated PGR variants. In AAs, two tagging SNPs (rs590688 and rs10895054) were statistically significantly associated with breast cancer. For rs590688, each addition of the C allele was protective compared to the G allele (OR = 0.56, 95 % CI 0.39-0.82, p value 0.003, corrected p value 0.03). For rs10895054, each addition of the T allele increased the risk of breast cancer compared to the A allele nearly threefold (OR = 2.9, 95 % CI 1.47-6.02, p value 0.002, corrected p value 0.04). Three haplotype blocks, all containing rs590688, were found to be significantly associated with breast cancerrisk. Environmental exposures, namely parity and obesity modified the effect of both SNPs on breast cancer risk in EA.
