Proteins are the building blocks of life that are vital for cell growth and tissue repair. They perform many essential functions in organisms like providing structural support, aiding in movement and metabolism. Proteins are composed of amino acids and have a complex three-dimensional structure across four levels - primary, secondary, tertiary and quarternary - that determines their specific function. Humans have tens of thousands of different proteins, each with a unique structure and role in the body.
Cells are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms. There are two main types of cells: eukaryotic cells, which have a nucleus and include plant, animal, fungi and protist cells, and prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus and include bacteria and archaea. All cells contain DNA and organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and vacuole. The nucleus regulates cell activities and synthesizes RNA, mitochondria generates energy, and the endoplasmic reticulum transports molecules within the cell.

Effective teams also have clear objectives, agreed upon goals, individual development opportunities, and balanced work. Teams should foster new ideas and work towards common goals with clear communication and individual ownership. Leaders can build high standards, set behavioral rules, and select skilled members to create a strong team.

Good leadership skills can be developed through continuous self-study, education, training and experience. Leadership requires influencing others to achieve objectives through a complex process. The main attributes of leadership are belief, values, ethics, character, knowledge and skills. A good leader also seeks self-improvement, makes sound decisions, develops a sense of responsibility in others, and understands how to accomplish goals.
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
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.

Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

2. Definition : It is a specialty lab to test the identification of
pathogens and isolation of infecting agents.
3. A pharmaceutical microbiology lab is involved in :
•Sterility Testing
•Detection, isolation and identification of microorganism
•Examining different samples with the use of microorganisms
4. Microbiology testing must always be performed by
professionals who are qualified in microbiology. Adequate
training is required for competent performance of tests and
operation of equipment.Porfessionals must be trained in safe
handling of the microorganisms.
5. Microbiology laboratories must be designed to suit the tests
that are carried out in them. Sufficient space must be there
so that there is no mix up of activities or samples. Access to
this area must be restricted to authorized personnel only.
6. A proper cleaning and disinfection program should be there
to ensure that all the testing activities are performed in a
proper manner. A proper procedure must be there to deal
with the spillages. Hand washing and sanitization facilities
must be there in place.
7. Each type of equipment or any other devices must be there in
the microbiology lab to ensure that testing, verification and
calibration can be performed in a desired way. The devices
must be maintained so that the tests can be performed
accurately.
8. All the chemicals including the reagents, media, diluents,
and other suspending liquids must be labeled to indicate
their identity, concentration, storage conditions, preparation
date and expiry date
9. Using good practices in pharmaceutical microbiology labs
will ensure that all the tests are performed by experienced
professionals in a very hygienic and disinfected environment
using proper devices to get accurate results.
