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.

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!
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
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
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.

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

Benefits of Breastfeeding
1.
2.
3. INTRODUCTION
DEFINITIONS:
• LACTATION describes the secretion of milk from
the mammary glands. This process occurs in all
female mammals and it is in only 1 species of
mammals (Dayak fruit bat) that it is a normal
process in the male.
• GALACTOPOEISIS is the maintainance of milk
production.
• GALACTORRHEA is milk production which is
unrelated to nursing (breastfeeding) as occurs in
the male Dayak fruit bat.
4.
5. HORMONAL REGULATION OF
LACTATION
• From the 24th week of Gestation, a woman’s body produces hormones that
stimulate growth of milk duct system in breasts
• PROGESTERONE: This hormone influences the growth in
size of the alveoli and lobes; high levels before birth inhibit
lactation and low levels after birth triggers lactation.
• ESTROGEN: Stimulates growth and differentiation of milk
duct system.
• PROLACTIN: Increases growth & differentiation of alveoli &
differentiation of the ductal structures. It is the main factor
that maintains tight junctions between alveoli and ducts
during lactation.
• OXYTOCIN: After birth, it contracts the smooth muscle layer
of band-like cells surrounding the alveoli to squeeze the
newly produced milk into the duct system.
• HUMAN PLACENTAL LACTOGEN: It is important in breast
nipple and areola growth before birth
NB: Lactation increases consequently with increased
consumption of the milk.
6. COMPOSITION OF BREAST
MILK
I PROTEINS
THEY ARE OF TWO MAIN TYPES; 60% WHEY PROTEIN & 40% CASEIN
A) LACTOFERRIN INHIBITS THE GROWTH OF IRON-DEPENDENT
BACTERIA IN THE G.I.T
B) SECRETORY IgA, IgG & IgM HELP TO PROTECT THE INFANT AGAINST
MICROBES, ESPECIALLYTHOSE WHICH THE MOM AND FAMILY ARE EXPOSED TO.
C) LYSOZYME PROTECTS AGAINST E-COLI & SALMONELLAAND HAS
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FUNCTIONS
D) BIFIDUS FACTOR SUPPORTS GROWTH OF LACTOBACILLUS, IT
CREATES AN ACIDIC ENVIRONMENT WHICH INHIBITS GROWTH OF HARMFUL
BACTERIA.
7. II FATS
THEY INCLUDE; LONG CHAIN FATTY ACIDS
ESSENTIAL FOR BRAIN DEVELOPMENT, RETINAAND
PROPER NERVOUS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT.
III VITAMINS
THE CONTENT AND AMOUNT OF VITAMINS
IN BREAST MILK DEPENDS ON THE MOTHER’S
INTAKE
8. IV CARBOHYDRATE
LACTOSE IS PRIMARY CARBOHYDRATE CONTENT (
ACCOUNTS FOR 40% OF THE CALORIES PROVIDED BY BREAST
MILK). IT HELPS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF UNHEALTHY
BACTERIA PRESENT IN THE G.I.T, IMPROVES ABSORBTION OF
CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS AND MAGNESIUM, PROMOTES GROWTH
OF HEALTHY BACTERIA
NOTE
A –
NON-PROTEIN NITROGEN-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS MAKE
25% OF TOTAL MILK’S NITROGEN & INCLUDE UREA, URIC ACID ,
CREATINE, CREATININE, AMINO ACIDS, AND NUCLEOTIDES
B-
MOTHER'S MILK HAS BEEN SHOWN TO SUPPLY A TYPE OF
ENDOCANNABINOID (THE NATURAL NEUROTRANSMITTERS THAT
MARIJUANA SIMULATES), 2-ARACHIDONOYL GLYCEROL.
9. C-
A NEWLY DISCOVERED PROTEIN COMPLEX IN BREAST MILK CALLED
HAMLET WAS FOUND TO HAVE A QUITE IMPORTANT FUNCTION.
FURTHER RESEARCHES SAY THIS COMPLEX IS FORMED WHEN ALPHA-
LACTALBUMIN (A PROTEIN) UNFOLDS INTO A DIFFERENT FORM AND
BINDS WITH OLEIC ACID (FATTYACID).
HAMLET WAS FOUND TO BE LETHAL TO TUMOUR CELLS & TO
INCREASE BACTERIA’S SENSITIVITY TO DIFFERENT CLASSES OF
ANTIBIOTICS. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS IT MINIMIZES THE
CONCENTATION OF ANTIBIOTICS WE NEED TO FIGHT AGAINST BACTERIA
THEREBY REDUCING RISKS OF INTOXICATION BY THE ANTIBIOTICS.
10.
11. Colostrum has laxative effect.
The composition of Breast Milk changes with time according to
the needs of the infant.
Easier to digest especially for premature babies.
Primary protection from disease.
Growth factors presesnt stimulate development of the G.I.T.
Hormones present are important for development of the child.
12. BENEFITS FOR MOTHER.
( 3) RELAXES BOTH INFANT
& MOTHER.
(1) MAKES LIFE EASIER. ( 2 ) SAVES MONEY.
( 4 ) CAN SERVE AS
CONTRACEPTIVE METHOD.
13. • EFFECTIVE ROLE IN POST
PREGNANCY WEIGHT
LOSS.
• LOWER RISK FOR IRON
DEFICIENCY ANAEMIA.
• LOWER RISK FOR POST-
PARTUM HEMORRHAGE.
• REDUCED RISK OF
REPRODUCTIVE/OVARIAN
& UTERINE CANCERS.
14. • FOR MOTHERS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES.
• Need less insulin shots while breast feeding .
• They achieve optimal weight loss.
• Reduced risk of heart problems.
15. It helps to create mother - child bond due to effects of Prolactin &
Oxytocin secreted during breast feeding.
16. BENEFITS FOR THE SOCIETY.
• Nations save money which can be implemented into budget for other
sectors like education, agriculture, research….
• More productive work force.
• Environmental friendly : less non-biodegradable waste.
17. DURING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
• Breast feeding prevents dehydration of the infant when there is no
access to clean water.
• Helps protect against respiratory diseases & diarrhoea in a crowded
environment |( eg. Shelters.)
• Helps to prevent hypothermia when baby temperature drops.
• Readily available when family is stranded without access to supplies.
18. FACTS ABOUT BREAST FEEDING.
If 90% of families in USA
exclusively breast fed for 6
months.
= 1000 less infant deaths/yr
=$13billion saved per year.
200-500 calories is used
up/day during breast
feeding.
= swimming 30 laps at the
pool.
= cycling uphill for one
hour.
19. CONCLUSION
AS FUTURE DOCTORS, IT IS OUR DUTY TO
ADVICE OUR PATIENTS ON THE BENEFITS OF
BREAST FEEDING OVER FORMULA FEEDING.
AS FUTURE PARENTS, IT IS AN OBLIGATION FOR
US TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF BREAST FEEDING
PROVIDED THERE IS NO CONTRAINDICATION.
20. PERSPECTIVES
I
THE FINDINGS HOLD GREAT PROMISE IN AN ERA
WHEN HOSPITALS ARE STRUGGLING TO CONTAIN
DRUG-RESISTANT BACTERIA.
II
WE BELIEVE THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF FACTS
ABOUT BREAST MILK TO BE DISCOVERED WHICH
COULD BE REVOLUTIONARY TO GENERAL MEDICINE
AND EVEN CLINICAL PRACTICE.
21. WHEN NOT TO BREASTFEED.
• IF THE MOTHER IS INFECTED WITH HIV OR HAS AIDS.
• WHILE TAKING SOME MEDICATIONS WHICH CAN HARM THE
BABY.
• MOTHERS UNDERGOING CHEMOTHERAPY SINCE THIS CAN
SEVERLY DAMAGE THE GROWTH OF THE BABY.
• MOTHERS UNDERGOING RADIATION THERAPY ESPECIALLY
OF THE CHEST.
• MOTHERS WITH UNTREATED AND ACTIVE TUBERCULOSIS.
• MOTHERS TAKING DRUGS LIKE COCAINE, MARIJUANA,
HEROIN…
22. • BABIES WITH GALACTOSEMIA WHEREIN THEY CANNOT
DIGEST OR TOLERATE BREAST MILK.
• MOTHERS UNDERGOING RADIATION THERAPIES ESPECIALLY
OF THE CHEST.
NOTE : DURING SIMPLE INFECTIONS & &AILMENTS LIKE
COMMON COLDS, FLU, G.I.T INFECTIONS….. BABIES CAN BE
BREASTFED IF PROPER PRECAUTIONS & HYGIENE MEASURES
ARE FOLLOWED.
IT IS ADVANTAGOUS BECAUSE BREAST MILK WOULD CONTAIN
ANTIBODIES AGAINST THE INFECTION PASSIVE
IMMUNITY FOR THE BABY.
