Evolving Priority in Developing Nations: to Prevent Personal Bias in Social W...inventionjournals
Health remains an important goal for society.‘Health for all’ is the motto of the world health organization. All hospitals spend only on allopathic drugs &modernization despitethe benefits of exercise medicine being well proven Actually, If there is a single remedy which can prevent & treat a host of lifestyle diseases like hypertension, diabetes, cardiac disease,osteoporosis, depression,etc it is only 30 minutes of exercise a day. More so it is free., Probably realizing these benefits there was a move to introduce a holistic exercise Suryanamaskar by the Indian government in year 2015 in all schools. After resistance from few organizations this path breaking decision was unfortunately withdrawn.This paper focuses on the importance of simple, economical health inventions& exercises like Suryanamaskar&the need to remove personal choices & viewpoints from theirintroduction for benefit of all.For large & populous countries like India which can barely afford to spend 3 % of GDP on health, disease prevention by exercise medicine is a good solution.To allow personal bias of a few people to hamper progress of the majority is an alarming & regrettable trend.As is said “one can count the seeds in an apple but not the apples in a seed “Only time will tell the far reaching losses & effects of these myopic & vote bank appeasing decisions.

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.
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.

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

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!

2. WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT FOR GOOD HEALTH:
AEROBIC FITNESS OR MUSCULAR STRENGTH?
-BOTH ARE IMPORTANT
-FITNESS BOOM OF 1970’S & 80’S: EMPHASIS ON AEROBIC FITNESS
-TODAY: BOTH CONTRIBUTE TO:
-HEALTH
-FITNESS
-WORK CAPACITY
-OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE
3. WHAT SHOULD COME FIRST: AEROBIC EXERCISE OR STRENGTH TRAINING?
-GENERAL RULE OF THUMB: AEROBICS PROVIDES A GOOD LEAD INTO STRENGTH TRAINING
-UNLESS EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING: CAN LEAD TO BAD FORM WHEN LIFTING
-BASED ON FITNESS GOALS & PREFERENCES
-PRIMARY GOAL IS STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT: LIFT FIRST
-PRIMARY GOAL IS DEVELOP CARDIORESPIRATORY SYSTEM: HEAVY LOWER BODY
LIFTING WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SUSTAIN A GOOD CARDIO WORKOUT
4. DO BIG MUSCLES TURN INTO FAT WHEN THE PERSON STOPS TRAINING?
-MUSCLE TISSUE CAN’T TURN INTO FAT TISSUE (OR VICE VERSA)
-MUSCLE & FAT TISSUE ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYPES OF TISSUE
-MUSCLE TISSUE INCREASES/DECREASES IN SIZE FROM TRAINING/NOT TRAINING
-FAT TISSUE INCREASES/DECREASES IN SIZE FROM GOOD/POOR DIET & WITH/WITHOUT
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
5. WHAT STRENGTH-TRAINING EXERCISES ARE BEST TO GET A “6-PACK?”?
-NO MIRACLE EXERCISES TO REDUCE BODY FAT AROUND WAIST
-ABDOMINAL EXERCISES WILL STRENGTHEN ABDOMINAL MUSCULATURE BUT WILL NOT BE
SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW MUSCLES TO APPEAR THROUGH FAT LAYER BETWEEN SKIN &
MUSCLES
-WASHBOARD ABS RECIPE:
-MODERATE TO VIGOROUS AEROBIC TRAINING + STRENGTH TRAINING + MODERARE
REDUCTION IN DAILY CALORIC INTAKE
6. STRENGTH TRAINING?
-A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO IMPROVE MUSCULAR STRENGTH &/OR
ENDURANCE THROUGH A SERIES OF PROGRESSIVE TRAINING EXERCISES
THAT OVERLOAD THE MUSCLE SYSTEM & CAUSE PHYSIOLOGICAL
DEVELOPMENT
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS?
1) OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE IN DAILY ACTIVITIES*
*EVERYDAY BEHAVIORS THAT PEOPLE NORMALLY DO TO FUNCTION
IN LIFE (CARRYING A CHILD, CARRYING GROCERIES, SHOVELING SNOW)
2) DECREASES RISK OF DIABETES BY HELPING CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR
3) IMPROVES POSTURE, PERSONAL APPEARANCE, SELF-IMAGE
7. WHAT IS SARCOPENIA?
-AGE-RELATED LOSS OF LEAN BODY MASS, STRENGTH, & FUNCTION
-IN THE OLDER POPULATION STRENGTH MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT HEALTH-RELATED
COMPONENT OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
-GOOD STRENGTH CONTRIBUTES MORE TO INDEPENDENT LIVING THAN ANY OTHER FITNESS
COMPONENT
-GOOD STRENGTH ENHANCES OLDER POPULATION QUALITY OF LIFE IN THAT IT:
1) IMPROVES BALANCE & RESTORES MOBILITY
2) MAKES LIFTING & REACHING EASIER
3) DECREASES THE RISK FOR INJURIES & FALLS
4) DECREASES THE RISK FOR OSTEOPOROSIS*
*DISEASE OF THE BONES WHERE BONE MINERAL DENSITY
IS REDUCED LEADING TO AN INCREASED RSIK IN FRACTURE
8. METABOLISM
“ALL ENERGY & MATERIAL TRANSFORMATIONS THAT OCCUR WITHIN LIVING CELLS”
-NECESSARY TO SUSTAIN LIFE
-MUSCLE TISSUE USES MORE ENERGY THAN FATTY TISSUE
-BODY EXPENDS MORE CALORIES TO MAINTAIN MUSCLE THAN MAINTAIN FAT
-ALL OTHER FACTORS EQUAL, 2 PEOPLE THAT WEIGH THE SAME BUT HAVE
DIFFERENT MUSCLE MASS THE ONE WITH MORE MUSCLE MASS WILL HAVE A HIGHER
RESTING METABOLISM
9. DOES METABOLISM SLOW DOWN WITH AGE?
-METABOLISM DOESN’T SLOW DOWN, WE SLOW DOWN
-LEAN BODY MASS DECREASES WITH SEDENTARY LIVING WHICH IN TURN SLOWS
DOWN THE RESTING METABOLISM RATE
-IF PEOPLE CONTINUE EATING AT THE SAME RATE AS THEY AGE BODY FAT WILL
INCREASE
-PARTICIPATING IN A STRENGTH-TRAINING PROGRAM CAN REDUCE EXCESS BODY
FAT
-SMALL INCREASES IN MUSCLE MASS HAVE A LONG-TERM POSITIVE EFFECT ON
METABOLISM
10. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUSCULAR STRENGTH
& MUSCULAR ENDURANCE?
11. MUSCULAR STRENGTH
-THE ABILITY OF A MUSCLE TO EXERT MAXIMUM FORCE AGAINST
RESISTANCE
-WHAT IS ONE REPITION MAXIMUM (1RM)?
-THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE AN INDIVIDUAL IS ABLE TO
LIFT IN A SINGLE EFFORT
12. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
-THE ABILITY OF A MUSCLE TO EXERT SUBMAXIMAL FORCE REPEATEDLY OVER TIME
-TYPICALLY DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF REPETITIONS AN INDIVIDUAL CAN
PERFORM AGAINST A SUBMAXIMAL RESISTANCE OR BY THE LENGTH OF TIME A
GIVEN ACTION IS SUSTAINED
-STRENGTH & ENDURANCE GO HAND-IN-HAND
-WEAK MUSCLES CANNOT REPEAT AN ACTION SEVERAL TIMES OR SUSTAIN IT
13. WHY DO WOMEN NOT ACHIEVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MUSCLE SIZE AS MEN?
-THE QUALITY OF MUSCLE IN MEN & WOMEN IS THE SAME, BUT ENDOCRINOLOGICAL
DIFFERENCES DO NOT ALLOW WOMEN TO ACHIEVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MUSCLE
HYPERTROPHY (SIZE) AS MEN
-MEN ALSO HAVE MORE MUSCLE FIBERS, & BECAUSE OF THE SEX-SPECIFIC MALE
HORMONES, EACH INDIVIDUAL FIBER HAS MORE POTENTIAL FOR HYPERTROPHY
-ON AVERAGE, AFTER 6 MONTHS OF TRAINING, WOMEN CAN ACHIEVE UP TO A 50%
INCREASE IN STRENGTH BUT ONLY A 10% INCREASE IN MUSCLE SIZE
14. “OUCH! WEIGHT ROOM BLUNDERS THAT CAN REALLY HURT”
BY: MICHELLE HAMILTON
WOMEN’S HEALTH
15. 1) A new study found that weight-training injuries among women have jumped by what %?
-63%
2) Working cold, stiff muscles can lead to what?
-SPRAINS & TEARS
3) How does warming up prep your muscles & joints for action?
-INCREASES CIRCULATION & IMPROVES RANGE OF MOTION
4) What type of warm-up can decrease your risk for injury?
-DYNAMIC WARM-UP (STRETCHING WITH MOVEMENT)
-OPINIONS ABOUT STATIC STRETCHING DIFFER
5) When working out, what is the single most important factor in injury prevention?
-PROPER FORM
6) Why are women more at risk for form-related injuries than men?
-NATURALLY WIDER HIPS
16. 7) What does S.E.A.K. stand for?
-Stand straight, Eyes on the horizon, Abs tight, Knees over your second toe
8) Women who lift weights tend to have less-stable what than women who don't lift at all?
-SHOULDER JOINTS (DOING TOO MANY EXERCISES IN WHICH YOUR ELBOWS ARE PULLED BEHIND YOUR BODY CAN
OVERSTRETCH THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE IN FRONT OF THE JOINTS)
9) You shouldn't allow your elbows to extend more than how many inches behind your body?
-2 INCHES
10) What do many women have that can make them more prone to injury?
-STRENGTH IMBALANCES
11) What prevents injuries such as torn ligaments and tendinitis, because your muscles and connective tissues have time to
adapt?
-GRADUAL CONDITIONING
12) What is the three-step progression when starting a workout routine?
1)LEARN TO DO A MOVE USING ONLY YOUR BODY WEIGHT
2)STICK TO ONE SET WITH LIGHT WEIGHTS FOR 2 WEEKS OR UNTIL YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE
3)WHEN YOU CAN COMPLETE NEARLY ALL YOUR REPS WITH PROPER FORM, ADD ANOTHER SET OR MORE WEIGHT
(APPROX. 10% EACH TIME)
17. MYTHS OF WOMEN’S STRENGTH TRAINING
1) ) WEIGHT LIFTING MAKES WOMEN BULKY
-BECAUSE TESTOSTERONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A MUSCLE’S BULK, IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE FOR WOMEN TO GAIN HUGE AMOUNTS OF MUSCLE MASS
2) IF YOU STOP WORKING OUT YOUR MUSCLES WILL TURN TO FAT
-MUSCLE & FAT ARE 2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF TISSUE & ONE CANNOT BE
TURNED INTO THE OTHER
-WHEN YOU STOP LIFTING WEIGHTS THE MUSCLE-FAT RATIO CHANGES
3) WOMEN SHOULD CONCENTRATE MORE ON CARDIO
-WOMEN NEED TO LIFT WEIGHTS IN ORDER TO PREVENT LOSS OF MUSCLE
TISSUE
4) WOMEN SHOULD ONLY LIFT LIGHT WEIGHTS
-MUSCLE RESPONDS TO RESISTANCE & IF THE RESISTANCE IS TOO LIGHT
THERE WILL BE NO REASON FOR THE BODY TO CHANGE
-WOMEN LOSE 10% OF THEIR STRENGTH PER DECADE OF LIFE & WEIGHT
TRAINING CAN SLOW THIS
18. FACTORS THAT AFFECT STRENGTH
1) NEURAL STIMULATION
2) TYPE OF MUSCLE FIBER
3) OVERLOAD
4) SPECIFICITY OF TRAINING
5) TRAINING VOLUME
6) PERIODIZATION
19. 1) NEURAL STIMULATION
MOTOR NEURONS
-NERVES CONNECTING THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TO THE
MUSCLE
MOTOR UNIT
-THE COMBINATION OF A MOTOR NEURON & THE MUSCLE FIBERS THE
NEURON STIMULATES TO ACTION
-AS THE # OF FIBERS STIMULATED & FREQUENCY OF STIMULATION
INCREASES, SO DOES THE STRENGTH OF THE MUSCLE
CONTRACTION
22. 2) TYPES OF MUSCLE FIBER
WHAT ARE THE 2 TYPES OF MUSCLE FIBER?
1)SLOW-TWITCH (RED) FIBERS
1)FAST-TWITCH (WHITE) FIBERS
23. 1) SLOW-TWITCH FIBERS
-MUSCLE FIBERS WITH GREATER AEROBIC POTENTIAL & SLOW SPEED OF
CONTRACTION
-TAKE LONGER TO GET GOING, BUT CAN GO FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME
WITHOUT GETTING TIRED (MARATHONER)
2) FAST-TWITCH FIBERS
-MUSCLE FIBERS WITH GREATER ANAEROBIC POTENTIAL & FAST SPEED OF
CONTRACTION
-FIRE EXTREMELY QUICKLY, BUT GET TIRED EASILY (SPRINTER)
-DURING MUSCULAR CONTRACTION SLOW-TWITCH FIBERS ARE RECRUITED
FIRST
-FAST-TWITCH FIBERS ARE ACTIVATED WHEN THE ACTIVITY IS INTENSE &
POWERFUL
-TRAINING INCREASES THE FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY OF BOTH, BUT…
-THE PROPORTION OF EACH ARE DETERMINED GENETICALLY
24. 3) OVERLOAD
WHAT ARE THE 2 WAYS THAT STRENGTH GAINS ARE
ACHIEVED?
1) THROUGH INCREASED ABILITY OF INDIVIDUAL MUSCLE
FIBERS TO GENERATE A STRONGER CONTRACTION
1) BY RECRUITING A GREATER PROPORTION OF THE
TOTAL AVAILABLE FIBERS FOR EACH CONTRACTION
25. OVERLOAD PRINCIPLE
TRAINING CONCEPT THAT THE DEMANDS PLACED ON A SYSTEM
(CARDIORESPIRATORY OR MUSCULAR) MUST BE INCREASED
PROGRESSIVELY OVER TIME TO CAUSE PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATION
(DEVELOPMENT OR IMPROVEMENT)
-TO INCREASE IN PHYSICAL CAPACITY, MUSCLES HAVE TO BE TAXED
REPEATEDLY BEYOND THEIR ACCUSTOMED LOADS
