Review of the 10 top books of weight loss.pdfTarek Hadedy
Weight loss refers to the process of reducing the total amount of body weight, typically through the loss of fat, muscle, and/or water. It can be achieved through a combination of diet and exercise, as well as through lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress and getting adequate sleep. The goal of weight loss can vary, ranging from improving overall health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases to achieving a specific body composition or weight goal. It's important to approach weight loss in a healthy and sustainable manner, as rapid or excessive weight loss can lead to health problems and rebound weight gain.

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.
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!

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

2. Learn about nutritious foods that promote
good health
Understand the benefits of regular
exercise
Protect the health of exterior body parts
Understand the causes of stress
Identify places that promote health and
wellness
Make correct consumer choices related to
health
3.
4. Wellness is the state of physical, mental,
and emotional health.
Wellness is used to describe personal
health.
Personal health is not always about how
prone one person can be to a sickness but
rather personal healthy habits.
5. Yourpattern of living should include certain
health practices. These include:
• Eating the correct foods
• Adopting an exercise program
• Getting enough sleep
• Protecting other aspects of your health
• Managing stress effectively
6. MyPlate is a common tool to make sure
you’re receiving the right amount of daily
nutrition
MyPlate is made up of foods groups. These
food groups are known as grains,
vegetables, fruits, dairy, meat, and beans.
The recommended daily intakes are
determined by a person’s calories needs.
7. Cholesterol is a fat-like
substance in your
blood.
High cholesterol levels
are associated with
heart disease.
Keep your total fat
intake between 20 to 30
calories.
8. Many people suffer
from eating
disorders.
Their obsession
may result in
malnutrition, serious
illness, or even
death.
9. People who suffer from
anorexia nervosa have an
intense fear of being obese,
sometimes described as “fat
phobia.”
When these people suffer
from this they are sickly thin
and even when they get a
pinch of skin they think that
they are still obese.
10. Did you know that if shop
mannequins were real women,
they’d be too thin to menstruate?
Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14.
Today, models weigh 23% less than
average women.
1 in 4 college women have an eating
disorder.
Models in magazines are airbrushed.
11. Poor Barbie, she may someday marry Ken, but
chances are, they will never have children. Based
on research done by Raider Programs, the percent
of Barbie’s body fat would be so low, she would
have ceased to menstruate – that is if she ever
started. She has been grossly underweight since
the beginning.
If Barbie were a real person, she would be 6-7
Feet tall, weigh 100 lbs., and wear a size 4. Her
measurements would be 39”/19”/33”. A four month-
olds head measures 17 ½”. She would probably
have had to have back surgery from being so top
heavy.
If Barbie were a real woman, she’d have to walk on
all fours due to her proportions.
18. Bulimia is sometimes
described as “desperate
overeating” or the “binge
purge syndrome”.
People with bulimia go on
food binges eating large
amounts of high calorie foods
in a short period of time.
Then they feel guilty and
purge themselves into
vomiting or taking laxatives.
19. Compulsive Overeating
• People suffering with Compulsive Overeating have
what is characterized as an "addiction" to food, using
food and eating as a way to hide from their emotions,
to fill a void they feel inside, and to cope with daily
stresses and problems in their lives.
Binge Eating Disorder
• The sufferer periodically goes on large binges,
consuming an unusually large quantity of food in a
short period of time (less than 2 hours) uncontrollably,
eating until they are uncomfortably full.
20. Pica is a medical disorder characterized by an
appetite for substances largely non-nutritive (e.g.
metal [coins, etc.], clay, coal, soil, feces, chalk,
paper, soap, mucus, ash, gum, etc.) or an
abnormal appetite for some things that may be
considered foods, such as food ingredients (e.g.
flour, raw potato, raw rice, starch, ice cubes, salt).
In order for these actions to be considered pica,
they must persist for more than one month at an
age where eating such objects is considered
developmentally inappropriate.
is seen in all ages, particularly in pregnant women,
small children, and those with developmental
disabilities.
21.
22. Refusal to eat or binge eating
Excessive exercise
Abnormal weight loss or a cycle of weight
gains and losses
Vomiting with no other signs of illness
Secretive behavior
Depression
23. Many people of all ages have a sedentary
lifestyle (sitting much of the time)
Regular exercise has a big impact on how
you look and feel
24. Get a physical exam
Exercises that improve both respiration
and circulation
Exercise should be done regularly
Should consist of three parts: a warm-up
period, a workout period, and a cool-down
period.
25. Blood pooling is the accumulation of blood
in the large muscles of the legs.
It causes the heart and brain to be
deprived of an adequate blood supply.
This could result in fainting.
To avoid blood pooling do not stop
exercise abruptly.
26. Protecting your eyesight
Protecting your hearing
Taking care of your teeth
Protecting your skin
27. Stress: is a state of
bodily or mental
tension resulting
from change.
Some stress is
good, but too much
can be harmful.
28. Death, serious
injury, or loss of job
can cause stress.
Even positive
changes like getting
a promotion cause
stress.
29. Exercise regularly
Know your limits
If you already have a lot of stress, avoid
any other stressful events
If you are doing too much slow down
Avoid taking drugs
Relax and take some time off
31. Community facilities
Health education
Health screening – testing for diseases
Support groups
Computer related resources provide meal
planning, exercise and fitness programs,
and weight – loss plans
Government and nonprofit organizations
32. Support groups are normally made of
people with a common concern.
These groups offer emotional help to any
who needs it.
Support groups are often sponsored by
medical or other communication groups
and are led by knowledgeable
professionals.
