Chronic stress from a cancer diagnosis can accelerate cancer progression by triggering further physiological and psychological reactions. Stress acts similarly to gunpowder, detonating cancer growth. While no cure exists, research investigates whether beta-blockers, usually used for other conditions, can reduce cancer progression by blocking the effects of stress. Beta-blockers may help control cancer in the future and warrant further study of their impact on specific cancer types and potential side effects.

Speech about Cancer
Introduction
Cancer is currently a major issue globally. Cancer is the leading cause of death in many countries today (Zaorsky et al, 2016). This is because many types of cancers affect individuals. Many countries are considering declaring cancer as a national disaster (Zaorsky et al, 2016). It affects all individuals whether male or female, old or young, active or inactive, and slim or overweight. There is no guarantee for an individual that he/she cannot get cancer. Every person, therefore, is at high risk of getting cancer. However, there are some things you can do to protect yourself. This will help you to lower the risks of getting cancer. This speech, therefore, seeks to highlight more about the major causes of cancer, signs and symptoms and the measures which you can put in place to protect yourself.
Body
As an individual may be many questions have been puzzling in your mind and you try to ask yourself how cancer develops. Maybe you have been asking yourself such kinds of questions now and then and you have not been getting any answer. There may be a growth of abnormal cells in the body. This particular growth of abnormal cells in the body may be uncontrollable. These abnormal cells become cancerous, develop and become cancer cells. Cancer cells will develop as a result of DNA being permanently damaged (Guy Jr et al, 2016). Cancer cells will continue developing until it forms tumors. Cancer develops in a body via some stages.
After cancer cells develop in a certain tissue of the body, it spreads throughout the body. Cancer cells spread rapidly throughout the body. If all body cells are replaced by the cancer cells, then the body will no longer be functioning well. This will expose an individual to a greater risk of death. Cancer cells also replace normal tissues. It is important to note that cancer will be named by the place it started in the body. For example, if the cancer cells started developing in the lungs, it will be named lung cancer. On the other hand, if cancer starts in the colon, then it will be referred to as colon cancer.
There are several signs and symptoms of cancer. The symptoms and signs of cancer are noticeable. Some of the signs and symptoms that you may identify and you should let your doctor check are many. Examples include a lump on any part of your body, changes in your body skin, cough and change in the bowel that last for several weeks, blood in the urine, coughing out blood and a sudden huge loss in weight (Tang et al, 2016). If you observe any of these signs, you should immediately pay a visit to your doctor. I advise you not to ig ...

What medications are considered first-line best practices for treating anxiety? How long can they expect these medications to take full effect? Alternative to use?
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are recommended as a first-line treatment for anxiety disorders (Bandelow et al., 2017). They increase serotonin levels by blocking the serotonin transporter (SERT) which helps to reduce anxiety (Stahl & Muntner, 2021). These drugs can be used long-term due to better tolerability, less sedation, and less chance of abuse or withdrawal (Bandelow et al., 2017). A study that was conducted by Jakubovski et al (2018), also reported that serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are also the first-line
pharmacological
treatment for anxiety disorders, but higher doses of these medications are not needed to relieve anxiety. Therefore, the pharmacotherapeutic treatment is somewhat a matter of professional expertise and what the provider is comfortable with prescribing.
What therapy would be indicated for someone with anxiety?
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) can be indicated for someone with anxiety. It can be used to examine negative thoughts that contribute to anxiety symptoms and replace those thoughts with more positive realistic thoughts. This type of therapy approach is to help clients identify irrational thoughts and help them analyze their negative beliefs. Furthermore, the use of an SSRI with CBT can reduce the activity in the amygdala and insula which is responsible for pain and emotional perception, and addictive behaviors (Gorka et al., 2019).
What do you need to assess before prescribing a benzodiazepine? What special considerations should be given and discussed with the patient?
Benzodiazepines may be used in the management of diseases such as insomnia or anxiety. However, the use of benzodiazepines can result in respiratory depression due to its effects on the central nervous system hence patients should be educated on its use and contraindications. Benzodiazepines are recommended for short-term pharmacotherapeutic treatment use due to the significant risk of dependence. Long-term benzodiazepines should be avoided if possible due to the risk of dependence, possible abuse, and cognitive decline (Stahl, 2017). Moreover, patients should be tapered off long-term use if they can tolerate the discontinuation without severe withdrawal. According to Takaesu et al (2019), patients taking benzodiazepines are at increased risk of cognitive function decline, falls, as well as dependence, and tolerance. That being said, benzodiazepines should not be considered first-line due to their high potential for abuse.

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.

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.

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

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

![Neuroendocrine modulation of cancer progression<br />Cancer can be as mysterious as it is destructive. Armaiz gives us a detailed explanation of how cancer forms, its different stages, and its effect on the organism. In this conference Armaiz talked about how chronic stress can accelerate and further increase the damage of cancer. Basically this chronic stress comes when the patient is diagnosed cancer, which makes the patients impatient, stressed out, and even depressed. It is demonstrated with this investigation that cancer is not only affected in a physiological way, but also in a psychological way. You can compare stress with gun powder in a gun; it will detonate even further reactions that can severely affect the outcome of a patient. Although no real cure is available, Armaiz talks and is investigating how certain Beta-blockers can reduce or help control cancer progression. These simple blockers are used now days for other purposes than to treat cancer. Armaiz basically tells us how stress can help cancer progress, and how certain Beta- blockers could be used in the future to help cancer patients. <br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/armaiz-110525162820-phpapp02/85/Armaiz-1-320.jpg)
