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.

This includes all relevant anatomy and clinical tests compiled from standard textbooks, Campbell,netter etc..It is comprehensive and best suited for orthopaedicians and orthopaedic residents.
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

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!

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.

16. Technical quality
Well centered: (Rotation?)
- Spinous process of T4 should be between the heads of the clavicle
Exposure (penetration):
- It is affected by both the duration of exposure and the power of the beam
Good expose: You will be able to see the thoracic vertebrae
Over expose film looks diffusely dark and features such as lung markings
are poorly seen
Under (poorly) expose film looks diffusely light (an x-ray is a negative)
and soft tissue structures are readily obscured (especially those behind the
heart)
Full inspiration
28. • Different tissues in our body absorb X-rays at different
extents:
• Bone - high absorption (White)
• Air - low absorption (Black)
• Tissue - somewhere in the middle absorption (Grey)
- GREY- Soft tissue/water
- DARK GREY- Fat
58. Apical pleural cap
• An apical pleural cap refers to a curved density at lung apex
seen on chest radiograph
• It has relatively narrow differential diagnosis:
Pleural thickening / scarring
secondary to previous apical infection - typically pulmonary tuberculosis
radiation fibrosis
may be present in upto 10% of radiographs
Pancoast tumour
Haematoma

Greater than 50% suggests cardiac enlargement (usually CHF or
pericardial effusion)
Remember: AP views make heart appear larger than it actually is Cardiac margins
should be sharp
73. Widened mediastinum
• Widening of the mediastinum is most often due to technical
factors such as patient positioning or the projection used.
Rotation, incomplete inspiration, or an AP view, may all
exaggerate the width of the mediastinum, as well as heart
size
• In the setting of trauma, patients are positioned supine
while a chest x-ray is acquired, very often causing the
mediastinum to appear wide spuriously
• Is a mediastinum with a measured width greater than 6 cm
on an upright PA chest X-ray or 8 cm on supine AP chest
film(at the level of the aortic knob on the best film)
• Use of cross-sections from CT and MRI will supplement
this section
74. 4- Lines and stripes:
Para tracheal /Para spinal/Para esophageal(azygo esophageal)/Para aortic
Lines typically measure less than 1 mm in width and are
formed by air, typically within the lung, outlining thin
intervening tissue on both sides
Lines present on chest radiographs include the anterior and
posterior junction lines
Stripes are thicker lines formed by air outlining thicker
intervening soft tissue
Stripes are seen on chest radiographs including:
L&R paratracheal stripes
posterior tracheal stripe
84. Skeletal structures
Overall size, shape, contour of each bone:
- Density( mineralization)
- Compare cortical thickness to medullary cavity, trabecular pattern
- Erosions, fractures, any lytic or blastic regions
Joints:
- Articular relationships
- Joint spaces narrowed, widened
- Calcification in the cartilages
- Air in the joint space, abnormal fat pads
Note calcified anterior cartilages may obscure or mimic
underlying lung lesions
Compare side to side
