Propolis is a resin-like material from the buds of poplar and cone-bearing trees. Propolis is rarely available in its pure form. It is usually obtained from beehives and contains bee products. Propolis has a long history of medicinal use, dating back to 350 B.C., the time of Aristotle. Propolis is used for canker sores and infections caused by bacteria (including tuberculosis), by viruses (including flu, H1N1 “swine” flu, and the common cold), by fungus, and by single-celled organisms called protozoans. People sometimes apply propolis directly to the skin for wound cleansing, genital herpes and cold sores; as a mouth rinse for speeding healing following oral surgery; and for the treatment of minor burns. In manufacturing, propolis is used as an ingredient in cosmetics.

How effective is it? The effectiveness ratings for PROPOLIS are as follows: Possibly effective for... Cold sores. Insufficient evidence to rate effectiveness for...

In-Cosmetics 2012: Genomics, Holistic Approaches and Old Favorites With a Twist | CosmeticsAndToiletries.com. BARCELONA—Personal care was taken very personally at in-cosmetics in Barcelona, April 17–19, 2012, as ingredient developers took R&D to a painstaking level of detail: the genome. While the study of gene expression is by no means new, and the concept of epigenomics has previously emerged at conferences and in research at universities and large manufacturers, it has materialized in the mainstream as the basis for many new cosmetic active launches. In fact, during the event, the editors of Cosmetics & Toiletries interviewed several attendees who noted the highly advanced methods being used by raw material suppliers.

However, the specificity of such techniques does not necessarily limit one to the development of one active for one function. By evaluating a broader profile of activities, some ingredient developers have found that, as suspected, the activity of a whole raw material, taken together, is often greater than the sum of its parts.

Furthermore, with the rapid spread of modern epidemics such as diabetes and obesity (both leading causes of chronic wounds), the rise of hospital-acquired infections, and an expanding elderly population, the situation will only worsen. As a result, there is an urgent need to reduce rising costs by reducing the length of patient-treatment cycles and improving infection management. The worldwide wound-care market, which can be broadly divided into wound-closure products, anti-infectives, basic wound care, advanced wound care, active wound care, and miscellaneous therapies, is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6%. Notably, over 50% of wound-care sales still originate from relatively mature markets such as wound-closure products, anti-infectives, and basic wound care.

As a result, growth of the overall wound-care market is somewhat lower than might be expected, especially in light of the need for more advanced, innovative products. Advanced Wound Care. There are significant growth opportunities in the advanced wound care market as well as a pressing need for clinical evidence to show the effectiveness of the technologies says Espicom Business Intelligence. Here are some highlights of its latest market analysis and future projections. The advanced wound care market includes an array of competing technologies. Moist wound care dressings form the largest sector. These include hydrogels, hydrocolloids, alginates, foams and transparent films. The main device-based technology used in advanced wound care is negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), pioneered by Wake Forest University and Kinetic Concepts in the 1990s. An emerging area of the advanced wound care market is the development of biologic products, which include collagen dressings, growth factors, skin substitutes and gene and stem cell therapy technologies to aid wound healing.

Despite this, they are a global public health issue that occur mainly in the home and work environments. In 2004, nearly 11 million people were burned severely enough to require medical attention. In first world countries, the survival rate of serious burn victims has vastly improved. In second and third world countries where the majority of burns occur (the South East Asia region accounts for almost half of the statistics) the child death rate is approximately seven times higher. This is primarily due to advances in both dressing technology and the overall quality of patient care healing. Mölnlycke Health Care is dedicated to providing solutions for both burn care professionals and their patients. Making use of every advantage you have when treating burns makes sense.

An Order to Ban Antibiotics for Livestock. Super Beta Glucan. Veterinary & Feed; manipulate the gastrointestinal microflora and immune wellness. Much interest has been generated over the past few years aimed at evaluating alternative means to manipulate the gastrointestinal microflora and immune wellness in livestock production. Motivation for examining these alternatives comes from increase public scrutiny about the use of antibiotics in the animal feed industry as well as the need for a safe food supply. Researchers in our veterinary division have taken a new approach with vital role of modern technology in animal nutrition. Partner with the world’s leading feed additive company, Cenzone Tech Inc., the team of researchers foresaw the danger present in the proliferating use of antibiotics as well as the negative impact that contaminates would have on over all health.

We believe that the answer to these emerging problems, as a result of these practices, would be to take a natural, organic, proactive and probiotic approach to maintain animal health while maximizing productivity.

Increasing the intake of beta-glucans from barley may help to reduce LDL cholesterol, according to new research. The new study, published in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggests that a daily consumption of three grams of barley, containing beta-glucan can significantly reduce both total and LDL cholesterol concentrations. “This meta-analysis of 11 studies indicates that the consumption of barley or beta-glucan from barley incorporated into different food products is associated with a significant reduction in total and LDL cholesterol concentrations. “Increased consumption of barley products should be considered as a dietary approach to reduce LDL cholesterol concentrations,” wrote the researchers, led by Dr. Nancy Ames from the Cereal Research Centre at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Renewed interest The bioactive ingredient believed to give barley its health benefits is beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber. Lower LDL Dietary approach? Authors: S.S. Beta-1,3 Glucan - NHI OnDemand Health & Wellness Library. Glucans are polysaccharides that only contain glucose as structural components. Beta-1, 3 glucans are chains of polysaccharides (complex glucose molecules), with the six-sided glucose rings connected at the 1 and 3 positions. Smaller side chains branch off the 1,3 polysaccharide “backbone. " The most active form of beta-1, 3 glucans are apparently those that contain 1,6 side-chains branching off from the longer beta-1, 3 glucan backbone. The formula for this type of compound is beta-1, 3/1/6 glucan. One of the most common sources of beta-1, 3 glucans is derived from the cell walls of baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces ceravisiae). Beta-1, 3 glucans are being referred to as biological response modifiers because of their ability to activate the immune system.(3) However, it should be noted that the activity of beta-1, 3 glucans is different from agents that stimulate the immune system.
