Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

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
2. HISTORY
This is a very poisonous herb –
its lethal properties having been
utilized since ancient times, when
hunters used the sap to coat their
arrow tips.
6. Aconitum comes from the latin word acon, which means 'dart'.
It is also known as 'wolfsbane'.
These words refer to its effective use as a poison in hunting.
However, it should be noted that although the plant is deadly poisonous in it's natural state it is rendered
harmless once it has been diluted and made into a homeopathic remedy.
Aconite is used to treat acute symptoms of rapid onset, often accompanied by intense pain, fever and fear.
These symptoms have been compared to a storm, which vanishes as soon as it comes.
7. HABITAT/SOURCE
The main source of Aconitum
napellus is vegetable kingdom.
It is a native to Asia and North
America formerly and endemic to
western and central Europe.
It is native to the mountainous
regions of Europe (e.g. Switzerland),
favouring the damp conditions of the
alpine meadows.
It is also found in damp woodlands and
along shaded riverbanks in the
Southwest England and South Wales.
Source.
8. PART USED
the entire plant The whole plant and root gathered at the
beginning flowering. The root is much stronger (in drug
strength) than the herbs or leaves, and is more uniform in
strength. Usually the root possesses nine times the strength of
the leaf. Hence the root has been included. Herbs, growing
wild, are richer in drug strength than those cultivated in
gardens.
9. PREPARATION
Composition:
Tincture θ. Drug Strength 1/10
Active ingredient: Aconite, fresh pulp = 450 gm
containing 100 gm. And plant moisture
approximately 350 cc..
Excipient: Strong Alcohol = 683 cc.
To make one thousand cubic centimeters
of tincture.
Prover Name: Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann
11. PROVING DATA
Strong symptoms from the proving of Aconitum Napellus
include:
Easily startled
Tremendous anxiety
Fear of impending death
Vertigo
Sudden loss of memory
Headache in fits with jerking pains
Immediate dilation of pupils and photophobia
Stitching pains in many parts of the body
Vomiting suddenly
Anxious urging to urinate
Heaviness in the chest
Palpitations with tremendous anxiety
Weakness and loss of power of the extremities
Trembling
Sleeplessness and anxiety
Severe chilliness throughout the body with shivering
Fever with cold feeling and light perspiration
12. SPHERE OF ACTION
Perhaps there may not be any organ, tissue
or system in the body which is not susceptible
to the action of this remedy. Still it
predominantly acts on cerebro-spinal nervous
system, brain, serous and mucous membrane,
blood, cardio-vascular system etc.
14. PATHOGENESIS
Aconite causes “turmoil in circulation.” It is capable of
irritating brain & cerebrospinal nervous system
producing exalted activity on the circulation,
paralyzing the capillaries, resulting in tension and
congestion with tendency towards inflammation. The
genius of this highly useful remedy is through mental
sphere and it is always important to consider the
mental symptoms. Its action on heart retards the
intensity of its function.
15. CONSTITUTION
Physical make-up: Since Aconite is purely an acute
drug, consideration of constitution is not of much
importance.
However, it is indicated in acute cases occurring in
plethoric sanguine persons with rigid fibers, dark
hair and eyes, full of plethoric habits who lead a
sedentary life who are most in need of Aconite are
strong, robust people. Aconite is the remedy of the
rosy, chubby and plethoric babies.
Temperament: Sanguine temperament.
Relation with heat and cold: No definite stamping
can be made in this respect. Still it seems to be a
“warm blooded” patient.
Miasm: Psora is the miasm in the background.
17. It is generally indicated in
acute or recent cases
occurring in young
persons, especially girls, of a
full, plethoric habit who
lead a sedentary life;
persons easily affected by
atmospheric changes; dark
hair and eyes, rigid muscular
fiber.
18. Complaints caused by
exposure to dry cold
air, dry north or west winds, or
exposure to
draughts of cold air
while in a
perspiration; bad
effects of checked
perspiration.
19. Great fear and anxiety
of mind, with great
nervous excitability;
afraid to go out, to go
into a crowd where
there is any
excitement or many
people; to cross the
street.
20. The countenance is
expressive of fear;
the life is rendered
miserable by fear; is
sure his disease will
prove fatal;
Predicts the day he will die;
fear of death during
pregnancy.
23. Hahnemann says:
"Whenever Aconite is
chosen homeopathically,
you must, above all, observe
the moral symptoms, and be
careful that it closely
resembles them; the
anguish of mind and body;
the restlessness; the
disquiet not to be allayed."
26. On rising from a recumbent position
the red face becomes deathly pale, or
he becomes faint or giddy and falls,
and fears to rise again; often
