India is already Diabetic capital of world and about to lead in heart diseases, a little has been done to cope with the growing problem of degrading health.
Acute stress disorder (ASD) is a mental disorder that can occur in the first month following a trauma. The symptoms that define ASD overlap with those for PTSD. One difference, though, is that a PTSD diagnosis cannot be given until symptoms have lasted for one month. Also, compared to PTSD, ASD is more likely to involve feelings such as not knowing where you are, or feeling as if you are outside of your body.
How common is ASD?
Studies of ASD vary in terms of the tools used and the rates of ASD found. Overall, within one month of a trauma, survivors show rates of ASD ranging from 6% to 33%. Rates differ for different types of trauma. For example, survivors of accidents or disasters such as typhoons show lower rates of ASD. Survivors of violence such as robbery, assaults, and mass shootings show rates at the higher end of that range.

What is stress?
Stress is a natural and normal part of human life. It is a physical and emotional response to a perceived threat, danger, or challenge. It can be triggered by a variety of factors, including work pressures, financial problems, relationship issues, health problems, and even positive events such as a wedding or a job promotion.
The body’s response to stress is often referred to as the “fight or flight” response, which is a survival mechanism designed to help humans deal with dangerous or life-threatening situations. When we encounter a perceived threat, our body releases hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which cause several physical changes. Our heart rate and blood pressure increase, our breathing becomes more rapid and shallow, and our muscles tense up, preparing us to either fight the threat or run away from it.
While stress can be helpful in small doses, prolonged or chronic stress can hurt our physical and mental health. It can cause a range of symptoms, including headaches, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, digestive problems, and changes in appetite. It can also lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
Managing well-being for maintaining overall health and wellbeing well-being. There are a variety of strategies that can be used to reduce stress, including exercise, mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation, and seeking support from friends, family, or a mental health professional.
In conclusion, stress is a natural and normal part of life, but it can have negative effects on our physical and mental health if not managed properly.

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!

Learning Objective: Students will define
stress and learn common causes of stress,
how the body responds to stress, and
healthy ways of managing stress.
Students will also define anxiety and
depression and learn symptoms of each
and healthy ways of managing and
treating anxiety and depression.

3. What is Stress??
Stress: the reaction of the body and mind
to everyday challenges and demands.
Stress affects us in all three areas of the health
triangle. How?
Stress itself is not good or bad, but it can have
positive and negative effects. It really comes
down to how you manage it.
How much stress you feel depends partially on
your perception. It also depends on your
past experiences.
4. What Causes Stress?
Stressor: anything that causes stress.
Psychologists have identified 5 general
categories of stressors.
1.Biological-illness, disabilities, injuries.
2.Environmental: poverty, pollution, crowding,
noise, natural disaster.
3.Cognitive, or thinking stressors: the way
you perceive a situation.
4.Personal behavior stressors: negative
reactions in the body and mind caused by a poor
choice.
5.Life situation stressor: death, separation,
divorce, relationship problems with peers.
5. How does the body respond to stress?
2 major body systems are involved.
Nervous System
Endocrine System
Your response to stress is largely
involuntary and occurs in 3 stages.
1. Alarm
2. Resistance
3. Fatigue
6. Response to Stress
Stage 1-Alarm
mind and body go into high alert
Also called “fight or flight response”
Several hormonal reactions take place eventually
activating the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline.
This causes:
the heart to beat faster
a rise in blood pressure
pupils dilate
increased blood flow to muscles and brain
7. Response To Stress
Stage 2 – Resistance
Your
body adapts to the rush and you react
by “flight” or “fight”.
Body
is briefly able to perform at a higher
level of endurance
Lifting an automobile to save a child trapped
underneath.
8. Response To Stress
Stage 3 - Fatigue:
The body can’t take a high level of stress for a long time. It
eventually reacts with fatigue. Your ability to effectively
manage other stressors is low.
Physical fatigue: body becomes sore, muscles tire
quickly.
Psychological fatigue: you can become depressed,
feel overwhelmed, or isolate yourself.
Pathological fatigue: body can’t fight off disease as
well. Anemia, flu, being overweight can lead to
pathological fatigue. Drugs and alcohol can intensify
these feelings.
10. Stress and Your Health
Physical Effects
Psychosomatic response: a physical reaction that
results from stress rather than from an injury or illness.
Can include sleep disorders, skin disorders, stomach and
digestive problems.
Headaches-many headaches are caused by stress.
Asthma-tubes in the lungs (bronchioles) constrict, making it hard to
breathe.
High Blood Pressure-stress can lead to an increase in cholesterol,
blocking arteries, which leads to high blood pressure. This can lead
to heart attacks and stroke.
Can also cause:
Weakened Immune SystemYou are more prone to colds, flu,
or other more serious infections.
Upset stomach
Muscles aches
and tightness
Ringing in ears

12.
Chronic Stress: Stress associated with
long-term problems that are beyond a
person’s control. The reaction is less
intense, but it lasts longer.
13. Managing Stress-Step 1
The first step is to identify the cause.
Possible causes of stress.
1. Life events-graduation, moving, addition of
family members, divorce or separation.
2. Physical stressors-physical injury, lack of
rest, drug use, excessive dieting or exercise.
3. Daily hassles-time pressures, too many
responsibilities, deadlines, conflicts with peers.
14. Managing Stress-Step 2-Use your
stress management skills
Stress-management skills: skills that help an
individual handle stress in a healthful, effective
way.
1. Use Refusal Skills
2. Manage Your Time Wisely
Avoid stressful situations that can have negative
consequences.
It’s ok to say “no”. When you are overwhelmed, it’s ok
to not take on more responsibility. Prioritize what is most
important to you.
Plan ahead and stay organized.
3. Take Care of Yourself
Get enough rest
Eat nutritious foods
Get regular physical exercise
Avoid tobacco, alcohol, and drugs
15. More Stress Management Skills
4. Ask yourself how you are thinking
about the stress. Are you overreacting?
Don’t think of stress in a negative manner,
but an opportunity to learn and grow.
5. Don’t forget to laugh.
6. Stay positive.
7. Relax. Relaxation Response: a state
of calm that can be reached if one or more
relaxation techniques are practiced
regularly.
8. Get help when you need it.
16. What is Anxiety?
Anxiety: the condition of feeling uneasy or
worried about what may happen.
Symptoms of anxiety
Feelings of fear or dread
Perspiration, trembling, restlessness, or muscle
tension.
Rapid heart rate, lightheadedness, shortness of
breath.
How to manage anxiety-use your stress
management skills, if these aren’t effective, get
some help-medication and counseling may be
needed.
17. What is Depression
Depression: a prolonged feeling of
helplessness, hopelessness, and sadness.
There are 2 types:
Reactive Depression-a response to a stressful
event, such as the death of a friend. Will go away as
the person learns how to deal with the difficult
situation.
Major Depression-medical condition requiring
treatment. More severe and lasts longer than reactive
depression. It may develop from reactive depression
or may be the result of a chemical imbalance in the
brain.
18. Symptoms of Depression
Irritable or restless mood
Withdrawal from friends, family, and activities that
were previously enjoyable.
Changes in weight or appetite
Feelings of guilt or worthlessness or a sense of
hopelessness.
Experiencing some or all of these symptoms for
more than 2 weeks.
19. Managing and Treating Depression
Express your feelings-journal, talk to
someone, be creative
Do something for someone else
Get some support
If these don’t work, get some helptherapy and medication may be used.
