What employees, co-workers, and employers can do.
Mental health and psychosocial disorders are pervasive throughout the business world. Leadership needs to understand the cost benefits of incorporating these issues into existing safety and health management systems to improve the livelihoods of bot workers and their families. By improving policy, programs and procedures, everyone benefits from a better working environment, climate and culture.
directly affects cancer outcomes, some data do suggest
that patients can develop a sense of helplessness
or hopelessness when stress becomes overwhelming.
This response is associated with higher rates of death,
although the mechanism for this outcome is unclear.
It may be that people who feel helpless or hopeless
do not seek treatment when they become ill, give up
prematurely on or fail to adhere to potentially helpful
therapy, engage in risky behaviors such as drug use, or
do not maintain a healthy lifestyle, resulting in premature
death.
Counseling psychology is a field that provides therapy to those who are struggling with emotional or personal problems, but may or may not have a psychological disorder
Stress management is the ability to cope with stress and its negative impacts on one's health and well-being. Stress can be caused by any sort of pressure or challenge in everyday life. Stress management involves a range of techniques, strategies, and therapies that aim to control, reduce, or prevent stress. Stress management can help people improve their mental, emotional, and physical functioning and happiness.

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.
Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
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
Title: Sense of Smell
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

Supporting the mental health and wellbeing of Anaesthetists
1. Supporting the mental health
and wellbeing of Anaesthetists.
What can the workplace do?
Jaelea Skehan, Director
2. • Setting the scene
• Impact of work on our mental health
• A workplace approach to mental health and wellbeing
• Modern theories of suicide prevention
• Considerations for the workplace in suicide prevention
Presentation overview
3. • Suicide rates in female doctors higher than in general
population;
• Female, Indigenous and young doctors (transition from study
to work) appear to be most vulnerable to mental health
problems;
• Specialities such as psychiatry, ENT and anaesthesiology
amongst the highest suicide rates.
• Rates of suicide for anaesthetists estimated at 44.0 per
100,000 (Elliot et al, 2010).
Why is this an issue for anaesthetists?
4. Barriers to seeking support (Hawton et al, 2001):
- lack of confidentiality or privacy (52.5%),
- embarrassment (37.4%),
- impact on registration and right to practice (34.3%),
- preference to rely on self or not seek help (30.5%),
- lack of time (28.5%),
- concerns about career development or progress (27.5%).
Barriers to help-seeking:
8. Mental health and wellbeing?
• State of wellbeing, where we can realise our
potential, cope with normal stressors, live and
work fruitfully, and make a contribution to
society.
• More than the absence of illness.
9. Influences on mental health?
• Structural: e.g. safe and healthy working conditions,
employment security, inclusive workplaces etc.
• Community: e.g. sense of belonging, access to social
support, freedom from bullying etc.
• Individual: ability to deal with thoughts, manage life and
cope, good physical wellbeing
10. Can work contribute to mental ill-health?
• Generally working is good for our mental health.
• But, many work factors can contribute to mental health
problems or make existing problems worse.
• When work related stress is high and ongoing it can be a
risk factor for mental illness.
• It is important to PREVENT issues where possible and
mitigate risk where it is not possible.
11. An introduction to the promotion of
mental health and wellbeing and the
prevention of mental ill-health in the
workplace.
13. Actions to prevent the onset of mental ill-health in the whole
workplace population (including families & community)
Action Area 1
Actions to prevent the onset of mental ill-health in groups at higher
risk within the workplace and community
Action Area 2
Actions to identify and intervene early with individuals showing
early signs of mental ill-health in the workplace
Action Area 3
Actions to support referrals to appropriate treatment & return to
work plans for those experiencing acute periods of mental ill-health
Action Area 4
Actions to reduce the ongoing impact of mental ill-health on
individuals entering or returning to work
Action Area 5
Actions to promote mental health and wellbeing in individuals
experiencing or recovering from a diagnosed mental illness in the
workplace
Action Area 6
Actions to promote mental health and wellbeing in the whole
workplace population (including families & community)
Action Area 7
14. Mental Health Promotion
• Mental health promotion is about enhancing social and
emotional wellbeing and quality of life.
• Initiatives can occur:
– with whole populations (e.g. the whole workplace), selected
groups (e.g managers, female staff, young staff) or
individuals
– in any setting (e.g. workplaces, the home, schools,
communities, health settings)
• Mental health promotion is relevant to all people, whether they
have a diagnosed illness or not.
15. Platforms for Action
1. Healthy workplace policy – e.g. stigma reduction, social
inclusion, OH&S policies, HR policies.
2. Creating supportive environments – e.g. anti-bullying
programs, strengthening families, healthy work initiatives.
3. Strengthening workplace & communities to take action –
peer support, worker-led initiatives.
4. Developing personal skills– e.g. life skills training, mental
illness literacy, parenting skills, financial management.
5. Reorienting OH&S services to a promotion and prevention
approach – e.g inclusion of mental health and wellbeing
16. Prevention of mental ill-health
Prevention interventions work by focussing on reducing risk
factors and enhancing protective factors. Activities may work
at three main levels and seek to:
• primary prevention - prevent the onset or development of a
problem or illness: types = the whole workplace & groups at
higher risk.
• secondary prevention - lower the severity and duration of an
illness through early detection and referral to appropriate
treatment;
• tertiary prevention - reduce the impact of an illness through
rehabilitation back into the workplace.

suicide?
Traditional approach of risk and protective factors

Thwarted
Belongingness
Sketch of the Theory by
Thomas Joiner
28. Prevention Implications
(Joiner)
• The model’s logic is that prevention of
“acquired ability” OR of “burdensomeness”
OR of “thwarted belongingness” will
prevent serious suicidality.
• Belongingness may be the most malleable
and most powerful.
29. Suicide prevention for the
medical profession
Primary Prevention Building stronger more resilient doctors
Secondary
prevention
Recognise and seek additional support when
risk factors and warning signs emerge and
reduce access to means
Early Intervention Seek support and help when critical events
occur
Intervention
(suicidal)
Seek specialist help; increase social
connection; remove means of suicide
Postvention Support those affected by the suicide of a
peer (or other).
