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.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Three South Nassau Volunteers Achieve 50 Years Each of Service
Photo Caption: With family members, fellow volunteers, and hospital employees watching with admiration
and appreciation, South Nassau Communities Hospital’s trio of 50-year volunteers (L to R) Ruth Fortin of
Oceanside and June Kane and Jean Silvers of Rockville Centre blow out the candles on a specially-baked,
50-Year VolunteerAnniversary Cake during the commemorative reception held in South Nassau’s conference
center.
Oceanside, NY – “I get more out of helping people than the people I help.”
It is that humility that has sparked Ruth Fortin of Oceanside, June Kane of Rockville Centre, and Jean
Silvers of Rockville Centre, to serve as volunteers at South Nassau Communities Hospital for 50 years each.
The trio of 50-year volunteers was honored today at a special ceremony to mark their incredible
achievement of service that stretches over five decades.
“It’s been very rewarding, and I met many fine people who have become long-time friends,” said Ms.
Fortin, who has been working as a volunteer at South Nassau since January 1965, when Lyndon B. Johnson was
President of the United States and the country was in the midst of the Vietnam War. Her first assignment was at
the gift shop run by the Lynbrook Auxiliary. She was later assigned as a messenger, and has served in that
capacity for a majority of the years she has volunteered at South Nassau.
Ms. Fortin, Ms. Kane and Ms. Silvers received service pins in recognition of their 50 years of outstanding
volunteer service and helped blow out the candles on a special cake baked in their honor.
“We are so very proud and fortunate to have volunteers like Ruth, June and Jean who willingly give their
time and expertise to help our patients and staff and have done so for so many years,” said Richard J. Murphy,
South Nassau’s President & CEO. “They are part of what makes South Nassau so special.”
Volunteers contributed 49,797 hours – the equivalent of more than six years or 2,160 days – of invaluable
service to South Nassau in 2014.
The volunteers’ zeal for South Nassau’s mission to meet the communities’ needs for high-quality, patient-
centered healthcare has been essential to the hospital’s transformation to a 455-bed hospital with leading-edge
surgical, medical and preventive healthcare services supported by a comprehensive network of 16 community-
based satellite specialty healthcare centers.
2. Serving as a volunteer and watching from her home on Washington Ave. has given Ms. Fortin a bird’s-eye
view of the growth and expansion of South Nassau. This, combined with the distinction of being the first mother
to be admitted to South Nassau’s maternity unit when it opened 58 years ago, has forged a bond that is as
unbreakable as South Nassau’s mission to meet the healthcare needs of the communities it serves. A cadre of
photos that Ms. Fortin and her mother donated to the hospital archives chronicling the hospital’s transformation
encapsulates the relationship.
When Ms. Kane started volunteering at South Nassau in October 1964, some of her neighbors told her
she wouldn’t “last” in the fast-paced hospital environment. Little did they know that Ms. Kane and South
Nassau went together like coffee and cream. Ms. Kane, her sister and her youngest son were born at South
Nassau. And, she recalls vividly, as if it occurred just days ago, how she was inspired to volunteer at South
Nassau after witnessing the compassionate care her father received at the hospital many years ago from nurses
and doctors as well as a volunteer messenger while he recovered from a serious illness. The mother of three and
grandmother of 6 children, Ms. Kane, is a volunteer in South Nassau’s EKG Department. “I love the EKG
office,” she says, appropriately. “The patients are wonderful to talk to; 50 years is a long time here, so I must
love it!” Ms. Kane, who was also honored for accumulating 25,000 hours of volunteer service, is particularly
fond of working with Alice Birmingham, EKG supervisor.
A volunteer since 1964, Ms. Silvers has devoted her time and talents to the Pharmacy, Emergency and
Nursing Education Departments. She is deeply appreciated for her dependable, jack-of-all-trades service to each
department. “Volunteering at South Nassau has been very fulfilling,” she says, “it’s part of me; that’s all I can tell
you.”
Volunteers fill many roles at South Nassau, from lending an ear to patients to performing clerical and
courier duties. There are 370 regular volunteers at South Nassau. Two new programs added to Volunteer
Services last year include Hospital Elder Life, which offers companionship and ambulation to seniors seven
days a week, and Animal-Assisted Therapy, which helps hospitalized patients recuperate from illness faster and
reduce feelings of fear, stress or loneliness through interactions with dogs.
South Nassau is the only hospital on Long Island to win three major awards for quality in recent months,
including for nursing excellence, and top rankings from U.S. News & World Report and from the Joint
Commission. In addition, it is one of just 559 hospitals in the country to be awarded the American Heart
Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines®–Target: Stroke Honor Roll-Elite
Quality Achievement Award, and it is also a recipient of the American Heart Association/American College of
Cardiology Foundation Get With The Guidelines®–Heart Failure Silver-Plus Quality Achievement Award.
Designated a Magnet® hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), South Nassau®
Communities Hospital is one of the region’s largest hospitals, with 455 beds, more than 900 physicians and 3,000
employees. Located in Oceanside, NY, the hospital is an acute-care, not-for-profit teaching hospital that
provides state-of-the-art care in cardiac, oncologic, orthopedic, bariatric, pain management, mental health and
