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.

2. According to World Health Organization
(WHO) Spirulina is an interesting food rich in
iron and protein which can be administered
to children without risk. WHO also declared it
as the best food for future.
3. What is spirulina?
It is a blue-green
algae
It is a simple, one-
celled form of algae that
thrives in warm, alkaline
fresh-water bodies
The name "spirulina" is
derived from the Latin
word for "helix" or "spiral
Produced from two species of cyanobacteria
Arthospira platensis & Arthospira maxicana
4. History of Spirulina
A German Algae scientist, Dr.Darwin discovered
the existence of the spiral shaped algae and
named it Spirulina
Dr. Clement of France in 1962 found that the
Ganimou/Kanembu people living around Lake Chades
in Africa had stronger bodies than other civilized
people at that time, despite poor living conditions
and limited resources.
Ganimou people eat a blue green algae found
floating on the lake's surface. This algae was
spirulina.
5. Why Spirulina is known as food of the future
Spirulina is being developed as the "food of the future"
because of its amazing ability to synthesize high-quality
concentrated food more efficiently than any other algae.
Spirulina contains 65 to 71 percent complete protein, with all
essential amino acids in perfect balance.
6. Spirulina won “the best natural food " award
in west Germany's International Food Expo.
The United Nations has conducted a 5-year
toxicology study on Spirulina and found it to
be completely non-toxic!
National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA)
Scientists from USA tested and found that 1 kg
of Spirulina is nutritionally equal to 1,000 kg of
assorted Vegetables & Fruits.
7. Active ingredients of Spirulina

8. Nutritional value of Spirulina
Spirulina is a highly digestible food, containing 60 to 70% of
protein, without cholesterol and provides all the essential amino
acids, which is a rarity among plant foods.
World's highest beta carotene food- ten times more concentrated
than carrots. It reduces long term health risks and supports body's
defense.
Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA)- essential fatty acid, important for
healthy bones, normal brain function, growth and development,
stimulation of skin and hair growth and regulation of metabolism
such as lipid
9. Vitamin B-12 and B Complex- essential for healthy nerves and tissue,
especially for vegetarians.
Minerals & Trace elements-Spirulina is rich in iron, magnesium and
trace minerals, and is easier to absorb than iron supplements.
Unusual phytonutrients - for health and cleansing. Green
(chlorophyll), blue (phycocyanin) and orange (carotenoids) colors
collect the sun's energy and power growth. Chlorophyll is a natural
cleanser and is often referred to as nature's green magic.

Apple -110 kg
Green Pea - 5 kg
Carrot-164g
6g Spirulina- 12mg
Cabbage-37kg Tomato – 3 kg
Chicken – 5.6 kg
14. Spirulina is an Alkaline food
There are two main types of food: acidic food and alkaline food.
Acidic food - meat, fish, prawns, chicken, bread and flour
Alkaline food - vegetables, milk, seaweeds, fruits and egg white.
Dr. Ragnar Berg of United States - "Everyday's meal should have the
proper proportion of 20% acidic food and 80% alkaline food.“
15. Medicinal properties of Spirulina
Spirulina offers remarkable health benefits for multiple
reasons. It is rich in iron and protein and also beta
carotene that can overcome eye problems caused by
Vitamin A deficiency. The protein and B-Vitamin
complex makes a major nutritional improvement. It is
an excellent source for essential fatty acid, Gamma
linolic acid (GLA), except for mother’s milk, that helps
to regulate the entire hormone system. Spirulina also
increases breast milk by stimulating lactiferous glands.
16. Spirulina - A powerful Antioxidant
Spirulina is exceptionally rich in antioxidants that neutralize free-
radicals.
Spirulina contains beta-carotene, tocopherols and phenolic acids,
which are proven to exhibit antioxidant properties.
Phycocyanin is able to scavenge the very dangerous hydroxy radical
and inhibit the oxidation of lipids in the liver and kidneys.
A study demonstrated 71 % antioxidant capacity for the group
taking the Spirulina extract and 54% for the group that did not,
indicating strong antioxidant protection (Miranda.,1998., Brazilian Journal
of Medical and Biological Research).
17. Spirulina Prevents Cancer
Spirulina has been found useful in cancer prevention.The anti-
mutagenic effect of Spirulina is beneficial in cancer protection and
treatment. Experimental studies have demonstrated its profound
effect on oral cancer. Spirulina was found to reverse oral
leukoplakia in tobacco chewers in Kerala. Complete regression was
observed in 45% of the treated people with a dose of 1g/day for
12 months.
Calcium spirulan isolated from Spirulina platensis, reduced the lung
metastasis of B16-BL6 melanoma cells by inhibiting the tumor
invasion of basement membrane (Mishima et al., 1998., Clinical &
Experimental Metastasis).
Prevent heart damage caused by chemotherapy using Doxorubicin,
without interfering to its anti-tumor activity (Khan et al., 2005.,
Phytotherapy Research)
18. Spirulina is Cardioprotective
Spirulina is cholesterol free.
Reduces the level of serum LDL (bad cholesterol) and raises HDL
(good cholesterol).
Spirulina cause a significant change in vascular tone by increasing
the synthesis and release of nitric oxide and by decreasing the
synthesis and release of a vasoconstricting substance from the
endothelial cells.
19. • Spirulina was found to lower cholesterol. Clinical
studies have shown that thirty healthy men with
high cholesterol, mild hypertension and
hyperlipidemia after eating Spirulina for eight
weeks were found to have lower cholesterol,
triglycerides and low density lipoprotein (LDL).
The findings concluded that antioxidants such as
beta carotene, vitamin C and E, selenium etc
present in Spirulina offer significant protection
against cardiovascular diseases
20. Dietetic therapy with Spirulina for
hyperlipemia
Higher total cholesterol levels or neutral fat levels increases blood
viscosity and adheres to vascular walls.
Dietetic therapy - decreasing the consumption of animal proteins, fat,
salt and sugar and increasing their intake of dietary fiber.
Phosphatidyl inositol, a compound lipid existing in Spirulina, was
effective in controlling total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and neutral
fat levels.
