A Proposed Collaborative Project Between Different Established Multidisciplinary Team

Seaweeds are rich in soluble dietary fibers, proteins, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, phytochemicals and polyunsaturated fatty acids (Mohamed et.al, 2012). It also has an impressive amount of nutrients like vitamin A, B-6 and C, iodine and fiber plus a low calorie count (Sifferlin, 2013).

function of pediatric primary care that may be best delivered using a team approach. Coordination of care is a holistic health care approach that is often delivered by a team of practitioners such as a physician, advanced practice nurse, school nurse, social worker, pharmacist, nutritionist, respiratory therapist, and others. Coordination is defined as “the state of being harmonized in a common action or effort” (Stille & Antonelli, 2004). The cases of Dewey Jones, Martha Ames, and Spike Smith are examples of interdisciplinary coordinated care.

Mulberry and blueberry are examples of the berries species that contain high antioxidants and low in calories. These berries may contribute in minimizing and preventing the risk of diabetes due to the presence of high amounts of phenolic compound and flavonoids such as anthocyanin. It may exhibit neuroprotective and anticancer activity (Wang Y, Xiang L, Wang C, Tang C, He X, 2013). The reaction of the antioxidants in berries related to the reduction of oxidative stress and inhibition of macromolecular oxidation in fruits that high in phenolic compound (Larson, 1988). The anthocyanin content also have other health-related function such as anticancer, antiaging and antiobesity. However, the research regarding these functions still in progress and some of the research still needs a further improvement. The rich content of poplyphenol in berries helps in reducing the oxidation and producing the insulin to reduce the blood glucose

Medicine is always pushing to make new strides and there are millions of scientists worldwide devoted to figuring out how the body works on a molecular level. Finding products that work in a targeted way is always a goal in combating illnesses like cancer and while there are a number of synthesized compounds being created, science is finding that going back to nature can yield interesting results. Proteins and molecules exist with a purpose and more are being discovered that work to heal the body and one of those compounds is fucoidan.

In many different instances we have often heard people say that there is distance in numbers when it comes to helping people reroof a house or even trying to get someone to attend treatment. The addict may thoroughly believe that s/he does not have a problem until being confronted by co-workers, family and friends. By having family and friends create an intervention the addict is shown how many people support him/her in their need for treatment (INPATIENT REHAB TREATMENT website, 2016, para. 2). This same method is also carried over into treating the addiction with a team of professionals. When working with an addict there are many different aspects that can be involved so that is why the multidisciplinary team is important; the team may

Several experimenters have found the CO2 from a smokestack works well for growing algae. To be economical, some experts think that algae farming for biofuels will have to be done as part of cogeneration, where it can make use of waste heat, and help soak up pollution.

The CI team was a success for the following reasons: improving efficiency increased collaboration and improved care management with the help of physicians and staff. There has also been an improvement with quality and communication evolving patients. Overall the organization has seen much improvement from the CI team.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography research focuses on the natural aspects of marine algae and cyanobacteria from sea grass and many other sea organisms that demonstrates biomedical property uses. Dr. Gerwick demonstrated the use of Discodermia ; compound molecules that inhibits cancer

Working together can make a difference because helping one another is the best way to help others in need. No one should deny working together. The smallest group working together can make the biggest difference.

Spirulina powder has been approved by both the FDA and WHO as a healthy food. One of the Spirulina benefits is that it has a glucose lowering effect. A recent study in which people with type 2 diabetes, showed that spirulina lowered blood glucose.

Spirulina has potential for being a ‘wonder food supplement’ and several leading organizations have praised its beneficial effects. In spite of the wide usage for the beneficial effects, a few side effects and contraindications have been reported with spirulina use. The most frequently reported adverse effects are headache, muscle pain, flushing of the face, sweat-ing, and difficulty concentrating. These have been described in people taking 1 g of spirulina orally. Skin reactions have also been reported. Spirulina should be avoided by people who have the metabolic disorder phenylketonuria, as phenyla-lanine content can be harmful.55 Although rare, cyanobacteria like Spirulina may contain toxins called microcystins, which accumulate in

Their antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties make them efficient molecules for the applications in combating many diseases and as therapeutic agents. In addition, it also act as an anti-adhesive agents against several pathogens indicates their utility as suitable anti-adhesive coating agents for medical insertional materials like catheters leading to a reduction in a large number of hospital acquired infections. Some biosurfactants are suitable alternatives to synthetic medicines and may be used as safe and effective therapeutic agents (Rodrigues et al., 2006).

Are blue-green algae actually magnificent for your health? According to Dr. Edwards Group and his research, he strongly believes that the algae has amazing health benefits and considers the plant a superfood. Stephen Barrett, however dissents this claim, and he believes that blue-green algae pose a significant threat to the conditions of consumers’ body. Both authors make great points and have a solid claim, but Stephen Barrett’s argument is far more convincing than Dr. Edwards.

2014). Spirulina is one of the main sources of natural phycocyanin, which is used as a natural color in food products like chewing gums, candies, dairy products, jellies, ice creams, soft drinks and used as biochemical tracer in immunoassays(Gouveia et al. 2008). ß-carotene represents 70% of total carotenoids present in Spirulina which is equivalent to 53% more retinol equivalent than the amount present in carrots(Dey and Rathod
