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.
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

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:

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

Basic Life Support & First Aid
1.
2. Purpose The purpose of this presentation is to introduce and refresh some Basic Life Support (aka First Aid) principles. This presentation was designed with health students in mind, as a refresher or in preparation for clinical placements. However, the topics covered here will be of use to anyone. Your actions on the day of an emergency may be the difference between someone waking up or going away in a body bag.
4. Danger Check for Danger (Hazards/Risks/Safety?) to you to others to casualty Remove yourself and the casualty to an area of safety Andy Field (Hubmedia) via flickr
5. Response Check the casualty for a response. Use the COWS Method C an you hear me? O pen your eyes W hat is your name? S queeze my hand Gently squeeze shoulders (i.e. the trapezoid muscle) If casualty is unresponsive call for help. Call 112to reach emergency services virtually anywhere in the world. Call 911for USA, 000for Australia
6. Airway Check the airway is open and clear of obstructions. Use a head tilt, chin lift to open the airway. Use a jaw thrust for patients with suspected spinal cord, head, neck and facial trauma. If breathing begins place in recovery position.
7. Breathing Look, listen and feel for breathing, up to 10 seconds. is chest rising and falling? can you hear or feel air from mouth or nose? After the airway has been opened, if the casualty is not breathing give, 2 full breaths, approx1 second per inspiration (breath) In clinical situations use a face mask to administer the breaths. image: c0d3in3via Flickr
8. CPR If no signs of life – unconscious, not breathing and not moving, start CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) CPR involves giving; 30 compression and 2 breaths 100 compressions per minute (useful tunes for compression rate are Staying Alive by the Bee Gees, Another one Bites the Dust to name a few) The recommended point of compresions is the midline over the lower half of the sternum.
9. CPR Continued…. You should check for vital signs every 2 minutes. Doing CPR on Infants use two fingers instead of using hands to deliver compressions. Give 30 compression & 2 breaths 100 compressions per minute when delivering breaths do not overdo the amount, as you may cause a lung to rupture. CPR should continue until the return of spontaneous circulation or you are relieved by a qualified professional.
11. Apply a Defibrillator If Defibrillator is available, apply and follow voice prompts. Remember when shocking to get everyone to stand well back. The Lifepak 500 is the standard product in Australia Keep checking for signs of life.
12. Airway Management Note the next two slides are specific to allied health professionals and medical students. It is a reminder of some devices used for airway management. Nasopharyngeal Airway Endotracheal tube Oropharyngeal Airway (guedels) Laryngeal mask
13. Airway Management Once the Guedel or Nasopharyngeal airway is inplace, Apply face mask Use the resuscitator to provide ventilations Attach 15L of oxygen to resuscitator If performing ventilation manually ensure a tight sealbetween the mask and the face. Where possible have one person firmly holding the face mask down and the other ventilating.
14. BLS - what’s coming up… We shall now cover the following aspects of Basic Life Support. Care for Bleeding Care for Shock First Aid for Sprains & Strains Care for dislocations and fractures Poisoning Burns
15. Care for bleeding… Apply Pressure to the Wound Raise and Support injured part Bandage Wound Check Circulation below wound If severe bleeding persists, give nothing by mouth & call emergency services
16.
17.
18. Provide casualty with fresh airMonitor & Record breathing and pulse When the face is pale, raise the tail
19. Signs & Symptoms of Shock… Weak rapid pulse Cold, clammy skin Rapid breathing Faintness/dizziness Nausea Pale face, fingernails, lips
20. Sprains & Strains… R – I – C – E R est Ice, apply a cold pack. Do not apply ice directly to skin. Compress, use an elastic or comforting wrap – not to tight. Elevate, above heart level to control internal bleeding.
21. Dislocations & Fractures Follow DRABCD. Then proceed with I A-C-T. I mmobilise area. Use jackets, pillows, blankets and so on. Stop any movement by supporting injured area. Activate emergency services. Call 112 or 000. Care for shock. See care for shock slide. Treat any additional secondary injuries.
22. Poisoning Follow DRABCD& Check Materials Safety Data Sheet if possible . Signs & Symptoms Abdominal pain Drowsiness Nausea/vomiting Burning pains from mouth to stomach Difficulty in breathing Tight chest Blurred vision and so on…….
23. Burns Remove Casualty from Danger(follow DRABCD & remember STOP, DROP & ROLL) Cool the burnt area(hold burnt area under cold running water for a minimum of 20 minutes.) Remove any constrictions(e.g. clothing & jewellery) Cover Burn(place sterile, non-stick dressing over burn) Calm Casualty isafmedia via flickr
24.
25. All other body fluids, secretions and excretions (excluding sweat), regardless of whether they contain visible blood
