Change is inevitable. Fatalism towards it is not.
We have heard for a long time that change is one inescapable development at work and life. The adage of change being the only constant has been tossed around for so long that it needs no reiteration. Despite the existence and acceptance of this fact; there is still a major chunk of the working population that feels as if change is the end of the road and the end of life itself. There are many out there who feel as if change is causing the greatest human tragedy ever. Even the sharpest minds can sometimes fail to anticipate what is in store.

1- What originates to attention when you consider about culture? For a lot of us, we instantly think of what’s correct in visible of us: distinctive idioms, diverse clothing and different food. But a humanity’s culture also influences an individual’s principles, customs and beliefs. It influences in what way you view confident concepts or behaviors, and in the event of mental health, it can influence whether or not you pursue help, what type of help you pursue and what sustenance you have nearby you. It is significant that we understand the role culture plays in mental health care so we can sustenance our loved ones and inspire treatment once it is required most. (Kapil, Rubina, 2019). There are four ways culture be able to influence mental health:
-
Cultural stigma
. Each culture has a diverse method of seeing at mental health. For various, there is increasing stigma round mental health, and mental health trials are measured a weakness and something to hide. This should make it firmer for those struggling to conversation flexibly and request for help.
-
Understanding symptoms
. Culture should impact how individuals designate and impression about their symptoms. It can affect whether somebody selects to identify and dialogue around only physical signs, only emotional signs or both.
-
Community Support
. Cultural influences can regulate how much sustenance somebody acquires from their family and communal when it comes to mental health. Since of prevailing stigma, sectors are occasionally left to find mental health management and provision alone.
-
Resources
. When watching for mental health treatment, you want to discourse to a person who appreciates your precise skills and apprehensions. It can occasionally be problematic or time-consuming to discovery possessions and treatment choices that take into explanation specific cultures influences and needs.
These are simply a few conducts culture can influence the observation of and treatment for mental health. Each culture and individual is dissimilar and appearance a single journey to recovery. You can support discourse the mental health of subgroups by considerate the role culture plays in mental health and by suitable skilled to help those round you. Mental Health First Aid gives individuals the expertise to recognize signs of mental health and element use contests and action stages to take to help them get treatment
2- Culture is an attractive piece of our lives, but it can similarly negatively impact our approaches in the direction of mental health. Mental disease is still stigmatized in many values. Persons may be disinclined to even dialog about mental health, let alone seek action. For example, African American community were “not very open to acknowledging psychological problems,” and they remained also averse to seek specialized help. In addition, Asian cultures incline to brand mental illness by respectin.

The goal for the course is to provide you with a strong foundation in social,

you can then build on throughout your health sciences profession.
Lecture Overview
Increasing Your Cultural Competency
In this interactive media application, you will be exposed to five different
cultural groups and their perceptions regarding health and illness. Each is
very unique. As you go through each one, you will be able to connect some of
the theories and worldview perceptions outlined in your readings to each
population. Increasing your cultural competence is critical to understanding
how different communities experience public health.
What is Cultural Competency?
The term cultural competence can loosely be defined as a public health
practitioner’s knowledge, awareness, and practice with other individuals and
populations with diverse cultural backgrounds. The assessment at the end of
the media application is a good place to begin evaluating your cultural
competency as a current or future health professional.
Steps to Becoming More Cultural Competent
The first step to becoming culturally competent is realizing that you bring
your own beliefs and worldview to your profession. Acknowledging this will
help you minimize the interference that these beliefs may have as you work
with others (i.e. patients, clients, colleagues, community, and public). The
most important steps you can take as public health professionals to be coming
more cultural competent is to listen, have patience, and practice humility
when you have limited knowledge regarding something or when you have
done something wrong.

The Guaraní tribe is just one of the many indigenous groups that populate
rural Bolivia. With an estimated population of 80,000, they are characterized
by their Guaraní language, traditional attire, and communal living. Income -
generating activities traditionally include fishing, farming, and hunting.
Chagas Disease; found primarily in Latin American and the Caribbean.
Chagas Disease in Bolivia
Chagas disease, found primarily in Latin American and the Caribbean, is a
neglected infectious disease that is passed on by the bite of an insect known
as the vinchuca bug in Bolivia. When an individual is bitten, serious
complications can result over 10-20 years, including an enlarged liver,
megacolon, arrhythmia, enlarged heart and even cardiac arr est. In addition to
the serious medical concerns, the disease can severely impact the economy of
the families affected as well as the country overall by reducing quality of life
and life expectancy for the significant portion of the population that suffers
from it.
The vinchuca bug thrives in homes with thatched roofs and mud walls, which

How culture influences health beliefsAll cultures have systems o.docx
How culture influences health beliefs
All cultures have systems of health beliefs to explain what causes illness, how it can be cured or treated, and who should be involved in the process. The extent to which patients perceive patient education as having cultural relevance for them can have a profound effect on their reception to information provided and their willingness to use it. Western industrialized societies such as the United States, which see disease as a result of natural scientific phenomena, advocate medical treatments that combat microorganisms or use sophisticated technology to diagnose and treat disease. Other societies believe that illness is the result of supernatural phenomena and promote prayer or other spiritual interventions that counter the presumed disfavor of powerful forces.Cultural issues play a major role in patient compliance. One study showed that a group of Cambodian adults with minimal formal education made considerable efforts to comply with therapy but did so in a manner consistent with their underlying understanding of how medicines and the body work.
Asians/Pacific Islanders are a large ethnic group in the United States. There are several important cultural beliefs among Asians and Pacific Islanders that nurses should be aware of. The extended family has significant influence, and the oldest male in the family is often the decision maker and spokesperson. The interests and honor of the family are more important than those of individual family members. Older family members are respected, and their authority is often unquestioned. Among Asian cultures, maintaining harmony is an important value; therefore, there is a strong emphasis on avoiding conflict and direct confrontation. Due to respect for authority, disagreement with the recommendations of health care professionals is avoided. However, lack of disagreement does not indicate that the patient and family agree with or will follow treatment recommendations. Among Chinese patients, because the behavior of the individual reflects on the family, mental illness or any behavior that indicates lack of self-control may produce shame and guilt. As a result, Chinese patients may be reluctant to discuss symptoms of mental illness or depression.
Some sub-populations of cultures, such as those from India and Pakistan, are reluctant to accept a diagnosis of severe emotional illness or mental retardation because it severely reduces the chances of other members of the family getting married. In Vietnamese culture, mystical beliefs explain physical and mental illness. Health is viewed as the result of a harmonious balance between the poles of hot and cold that govern bodily functions. Vietnamese don’t readily accept Western mental health counseling and interventions, particularly when self-disclosure is expected. However, it is possible to accept assistance if trust has been gained.

I am an Air Force brat and grew up in several different countries .docx
I am an Air Force brat and grew up in several different countries overseas eventually moving to Oklahoma where my father was stationed when I was 15. Since I was raised traveling overseas for a large part of my life it has led me to incorporate several different cultures into my life. The other culture, from my extended family, was incorporated into my life as my parents were the only two constant adult influences that were around to pass that heritage along. My parents also were the influences and the reason that I was exposed to so many cultures and religions. They created an environment where examining and experiencing these different things was accepted and encouraged me and my two sisters to figure out what works for us. It has had a major influence on everything in my life from my acceptance of all cultures to my lack of seeking medical attention from a medical facility but rather from more natural remedies as long as I can help it.
As far as disease and culture in my family, it is customary to put off illness or signs of disease until it is unavoidable as the focus is always more on a commitment to work and servant leadership rather than on self. Health issues are very common in my family as all of my father's side of the family, including my father, have passed away from cancer before the age of 55. On my mother’s side of the family, the majority of them suffer from high cholesterol or heart disease and have had a heart attack or stroke between the age of 30 and 50. So again there is not a lot of focus on health and disease prevention.
Goldmeier (2018) defines health as the functional efficiency or soundness of an organism as applied to the physical and mental state of an organism but also in a social context involving the environment and public health. Health is an organism’s state of functioning within its environment. That state could be a good state or a bad one with the environment having a great effect on the organism’s ability to function. Health includes how the body’s function supports the person in their environment. An imbalance in the body’s function could be caused by sickness or disease.
Some people believe that naturalistic components like weather are deep causes for the disease. Others believe that personalistic components like the choice to not take vaccinations that may prevent disease are the deep cause for the disease. My concept of health and illness is that naturalistic and personalistic components are equal in the causes of illness and disease. My cultural background and influence are that medication is frowned upon and only utilized when absolutely necessary. Otherwise natural and remedies are used. Natural remedies may be useful when there is a chest cold but when that chest cold turns into a virus, only a steroid or antibiotic would resolve this illness as it then progresses from an illness to a viral infection. My cultural background and influence focus on more of a social balance and the ability to funct ...

643
Curanderismo, from the Spanish verb curar (to heal), is a broad healing tradition found in in Mexico and Mexican American communities throughout the
United States. It has many historical roots in common
with traditional healing practices in Puerto Rico and
Cuba, and in other Latin-American communities, as well
as with traditional practices found throughout Latin
America. At the same time, curanderismo has a history
and a set of traditional medical practices that are unique to
Mexican cultural history and to the Mexican American
experience in the United States. It represents a blending
(syncretism) of traditional indigenous practices of the
Aztec civlization of ancient Mexico with Spanish influ-
ences from Medieval Europe and the Classical Period in
Ancient Greece-Rome, as well as from modern biomedi-
cine and even “complementary and alternative” medicine.
Curanderismo has seven cultural historical roots (Table
39-1). Its theoretical beliefs trace their origins partly to
ancient Greco-Roman humoral medicine, also reflected in
Arabic Unani medicine (Chapter 32), especially the empha-
sis on balance and the influence of hot and cold properties of
food and medicines on the body. Many of the rituals in
curanderismo date to healing practices that were contem-
porary to the beginning of the Christian tradition and
even into earlier Judaic writings. Other healing practices
derive from the European Middle Ages, including the use
of traditional medicinal plants and magical healing practices
in wide use at that time. The Moorish conquest of Spain
is visible in the cultural expression of curanderismo (see
Chapters 32 and 40). Some Mexican American concepts of
folk illnesses originated in the Near East and then were
transmitted throughout the Mediterranean, such as belief
in mal de ojo, or the “evil eye” (the magical influence of

staring at someone). Homeopathic remedies for common
health conditions such as earaches, constipation, anemia,
cuts and bruises, and burns were later brought from
Germany and Europe to the Americas to be passed down
to the present time within curanderismo. There is also sig-
nificant sharing of beliefs with Aztec and other Native
American cultural traditions in Mexico (see Chapters 37
and 38). Some of the folk illnesses treated in pre-Columbian
times, such as a fallen fontanelle (caída de la mollera) and
perhaps the blockage of the intestines (empacho), are parts
of this tradition. The pharmacopeia of the New World is
also important in curanderismo (and added significantly
to the plants available for treatment of diseases in Europe
from the 1600s to the present). Some healers (curanderos)
keep track of developments in parapsychology and New
Age spirituality (see Chapter 42), as well as acupuncture
and Asian healing traditions, and have incorporated these

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...
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.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
