This document discusses chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), which are conditions with overlapping symptoms including fatigue, pain, and brain fog. CFS affects about 3 in 1000 Americans, while FMS affects 3-6 million in the US. Both conditions can be triggered by infections, stress, autoimmune diseases or hormonal imbalances. Modern medicine has had limited success treating these complex syndromes. The author describes his RISE and SHINE approach to integrative and functional treatment which focuses on reducing inflammation, improving sleep, hormonal balance, immunity, nutrition, and energy levels through diet, lifestyle changes, and natural supplements.
With conventional allopathic medicine, when we present our symptoms to our doctors we are hoping for a solution. What we often receive is a diagnosis accompanied by a prescription to relieve our symptoms, and we are sent home. However, symptoms are the body’s way of telling us that something is out of balance; similar to the warning light that pops up on the dashboard of our cars when something is wrong.
If you have chronic fatigue, aches and pains, fibromyalgia, depression or any other non-specific symptoms that your conventional medical doctor has been having a difficult time solving, you may have Adrenal Fatigue. Dr. Vivian DeNise, Integrative Physician at Patients Medical and Elisa Haggarty of Culinary Farmacy explain what Adrenal Fatigue is, why it happens, what foods can help you feel more balanced and how to treat it naturally, safely and effectively.

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.

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

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!

You may have heard about
chronic fatigue syndrome
(CFS) and fibromyalgia
syndrome (FMS)—two
syndromes with overlapping
symptoms. Both conditions
have contributed to
significant mental and
physical frustration in our
communities. CFS has been
a subject of controversy for
many years, but now it is
officially recognized by the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC). CFS
affects 3 out of every 1,000
Americans. Most patients are
Caucasian women between
the ages of 20 and 50. FMS
affects more than 3 to 6
million people in the United
States, and it is responsible
for more disability than
rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Although they can present
alone, CFS and FMS
can be triggered as a
result of an infection or
stressful event, underlying
autoimmune diseases,
chronic inflammation, or
hormonal imbalances. They
are quite challenging, but
surely an astute physician
will investigate to discover
the underlying causes.
FMS is characterized by
widespread pain, tenderness
on light touch, nonrestoring
sleep, brain fog, poor
metabolism from hormonal
imbalances, and depressed
mood. CFS is a state of
energy crisis characterized
by low energy production
such that it cannot match
body demands. Patients
suffer from persistent
fatigue, even after rest or
vacation, and notice extreme
exhaustion after workouts.
Irritable bowel syndrome and
recurrent sinus infections
are also common.
To make it easier to
understand, think of your
body as a house. Having a
chronic autoimmune disease
or inflammation is like having
your house on fire. If ignored,
the fire will set off fire alarms,
which is like developing
FMS. If the alarms remain
unattended, the house will
eventually collapse. This
is like having CFS settling
in your body. Most of my
patients appear depressed
and are frustrated due to a
lack of energy. However, even
though they are depressed,
depression is not the cause
but one of the complications.
Several research studies have
pointed out that a specific
area of the brain known as
the hypothalamus is affected,
creating an energy crisis of
your body’s control center.
The hypothalamus regulates
sleep, hormonal balance,
body temperature, and low
blood pressure. As a result,
patients suffer for months,
if not years, with disordered
sleep, poorly regulated body
temperature and low blood
pressure, irritability, and
exhaustion.
Unfortunately, modern
medicine and pharmacologic
prescriptions have come
up short in solving the
challenges seen in these
complex chronic disorders.
Currently, there is no FDA-approved
treatment for CFS,
but FDA-approved therapies
for FMS include Cymbalta,
Savella, and Lyrica. It’s
about time we think outside
the box. Fortunately, over
the last decade, integrative
and functional medicine
research has led thought
leaders to design treatment
protocols for FMS and
CFS. One of the integrative
physicians, Dr. Teitelbaum,
has developed the S.H.I.N.E.
approach, which has been
successful in the majority of
patients. S.H.I.N.E. focuses
on five key areas related
to the body that, when
addressed in combination,
can provide a road map for
optimal energy production.
I have modified to meet the
unique needs of my patients
with autoimmunity and
inflammation. Our approach
is called RISE and SHINE,
which has a functional
medicine basis. RISE is to
Reduce Inflammation, Stress
and Exhaustion. SHINE
address issues of Sleep, H
for hormonal balance, I for
immunity and infections, N
for nutritional deficiency,
and E for exercise (as able)
and energy.
Relaxed and uninterrupted
sleep can be achieved
by educating patients
about maintaining sleep
hygiene and, if needed,
using nonaddictive natural
therapies. A customizable
combination of valerian root,
passionflower, lavender oil,
5HTP, and melatonin can
help meet individual needs.
Magnesium at night can help
relax muscles and reduce
spasms. Early recognition of
poor function of the thyroid
and adrenal gland is crucial,
and, when indicated, natural
supplements to support
hormones help significantly.
The literature supports use
of licorice extract, vitamin
B6, vitamin C, and DHEA for
adrenal support.
To address inflammation
and misdirected immunity
seen in patients with
rheumatologic diseases and
chronic infections, I pay very
close attention to an anti-inflammatory
diet rich in
omega fatty acids such as
fatty fish (salmon, mackerel,
sardines), avocados, raw
nuts, seeds (walnuts, flax
seeds), and extra virgin
olive oil. Increasing use of
dietary fibers from whole
fruits and vegetables along
with seasoning with garlic,
ginger, and turmeric add
anti-inflammatory properties
to the diet. Probiotics help
intestinal inflammation.
Elimination of trans fats
and animal fat and protein
can reduce inflammatory
chemicals.
To boost immunity,
antioxidants like B-complex,
vitamin C, eleuthero,
coenzyme Q10, and raw
garlic are helpful. Daily
vitamin D is essential for
stabilizing immune cells.
Supplements like carnitine
and D-ribose with exercise
help mitochondrial function
and promote energy
production. I assure patients
that, just as it took them
several months and years to
develop CFS and FMS, it may
take months to get better. For
realistic recovery, expect 10%
improvement every month.
Eventually, they will be ready
to embrace life and SHINE
like a star.
