This document describes a project to build ethnobotanic growhouses to preserve traditional plant-based medicines, promote education, and boost local economies. The growhouses would be constructed with renewable energy systems and sustainable materials. They would serve as research and education centers where locals could study, demonstrate, and sell plant-based treatments. The goal is to help isolated communities maintain access to healthcare and develop small businesses based on their botanical knowledge. The project plans to build a prototype in 2013-2014 and seek partnerships for wider implementation.

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.

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.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The vegetal biodiversity as a medicine for
isolated countries
Since the beginning of time, men have used
plants to provide them with food and
medicine.
The growth of organic chemistry, as well as
the humanitarian work lead in developing
countries, has contributed to the slow
disappearance of this knowledge.
In our Northern countries, this loss does not
have consequences on public health, even if it
is a part of our cultural patrimony that
disappears.
But in some countries, the loss of this
knowledge can sometimes lead to dramatic
sanitarian issues.

BIOVISION Catalyzer 2013
7. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The ethnobotanic growhouse is a structure toward local populations.
It serves for researchs on plants that grow higher in montains and isolated
countries.
And to produce vegetables, fruits and plants for care.
It promotes education and exchanges of knowleges between habitants, studients
and professionnals.
his module has an energetic autonomy with several systems: water, wind,
carbon and solar powered.
Solar power is used to transform and preserve plants as well as using it
as oven, dryer and cooker.
To reduce our impact on the environment, we choose to put above the
structure a rainwater recovery.
In addition to that, there are dry toilets and composts.

10. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
We try to use the best materials to generate a light structure as we can transport easily in those
isolated countries. So we use Tetrafluorethylene ethylene : a lighter, more resistant, recyclable
metarieal and cheaper than glass.
This geodestic form is suited to control the air and to succeed in growing plants.
It allows to sow earlier in spring and reap later in automn.
Spaces are articulate around the stove heated, for keeping heat and optimize storage.
Fifty percent is used to grow plants. Others spaces are for learning , teaching, transforming and
helping to cure.
There are also one space with cupboard and a wall for projection.
A laboratory with storage and transparent wall for showing to others has been also created..
The solar oven / dryer / cooker is located inside the a drying room, close to the cellar for jars and
seeds.
A more personal and secure place for the professionnal is setup. So they could come for several
days to teach, to practice medecine or to do research. That’s why a shower and several cupboards
had been added.

ECONOMIC IMPACTS & CITIZEN BENEFITS
Preventing the medical deserts, and allowing the creation of
new economic processes and small-scale industries
BIOVISION Catalyzer 2013
13. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The
benefits
for
the
local
populations are obvious.
This project can be adapted
depending
on
the
different
situations, and thus have numerous
citizen benefits : opening up of their
regions, medicine to treat and cure
some of their illness, new economic
perspectives
for
the
local
populations, touristic opportunities,
…
In Gavar for example, we mainly
work on the teaching and touristic
aspects. In Mongolia the highlight is
put on health issues and research,
while in Albania, the food and
medicine improvement is the most
important point of view.
In
France
and
Europe,
the
preservation and transmission of
our cultural and historical patrimony
is the key.
BIOVISION Catalyzer 2013
14. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
Our action could initiate and favor the
development of a small-scale plant
industry, where locals learn to grow,
harvest, transform and use the plants of
their environment.
This leads to creating or strengthening
the economy in these rural regions (as in
the Massif des Bauges and Chartreuse),
or allows the young inhabitants to stay
and work in their hometowns (Gavar or
Husche).
The
establishment
of
these
‘Ethnobotanic Health Centers’ in diverse
parts of the world would also allow to
create several international partnerships
between universities.
This could mean giving PhD’s students
the opportunity of very promising thesis,
at the crossing of environmental,
patrimonial, economic and sanitarian
issues.
BIOVISION Catalyzer 2013
15. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
Furthermore,
we
already
take part in a number of
universities studies.
We also have the expertise
in publishing books and
exhibits on the ethnobotanic
patrimony we collect.
These skills, allied to this
project, will at the same time
provide
research
informations,
teaching
material, and the public’s
interest for these issues.
