The document discusses four technologies that can help improve health and quality of life: 1) Bionics, which uses electromagnetism to link brain signals to limb movement, helping amputees regain mobility. 2) Cellular therapy uses stem cells to treat diseases by regenerating cells and tissues. 3) Automated external defibrillators shock hearts back into rhythm during cardiac emergencies. 4) Smart pill monitoring systems non-invasively diagnose gastrointestinal issues by transmitting pH, pressure and temperature data from inside the digestive tract. The document argues that medical innovation relies on technology to save lives and improve conditions, demonstrating technological determinism.

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

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

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.

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!
2. Technology #1: BIONICS
What is it?
Electro magnetic technology to link brain electrical
inputInto real life movement(T. 2014).
How does it help?
It helps amputees return back to their normal lives
by re-creating their missing limb, which they can
control with their brain (T. 2014).
Example:
Adrian Hoslet Davis as seen in the picture to the
right,DANCING! (T. 2014).
From weekly learning session 7
3. PROS Gives amputees their abilities back.
Able to walk
Able to hold objects
Helps amputees get back to their normal lives.
Gets them back to work and enjoying life.
Versatile as anyone is able to use it that body part
can now become anything you want. You are able
to specialize the amputee body part to meet the
needs of the activity weather that be running, rock
climbing or even just walking.
4. CONS Upfront costs can be expensive
Not accessible to all those who need it
There are regular maintenance costs that
come with prosthetics.
Can cause infections if not taken care of
properly (Rossbach).
5. Technology #2: Cellular Therapy
What is it?
Cellular therapy uses stem cells to treat or
prevent diseases.
Stem cells are unspecialized cells residing
in our own tissues, which the body can
turn in to the type of cell that it needs
(Clinical Trials).
How does it help?
Helps by bringing mobility back to limbs
and reverse/cure diseases.
7. • Helps patients get
back to their
normal lives
• Large amount of
possibilities for
healing
PRO
S
8. Still in the experimental
phases
Retrieving bone marrow
can be very painful
Procedures tend to be
invasive
CONS
9. Technology #3: Automated External
Defibrillator
What is it?
A defibrillator that walks users through the process
of administering the life saving shock
How does it help?
Shocks patients hearts back into rhythm if the patient
needs it (What Is an AED?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V99-R12iCS4
11. Keeps heart beating in critical situations,
which keeps patients alive while help is on
the way
Allows blood to flow through the body
and brain
PROS
Easy to use, walks users
through process
Will not administer
shock if not necessary
12. Might not always be in reach
when its needed
Expensive upfront cost
CONS
13. Technology #4: Smart Pill GI Monitoring
system
What is it?
A pill-sized data collecting device swallowed by
patients experiencing stomach problems to diagnose
their gastrointestinal issues.
Measures PH, pressure and temperature throughout
gastrointestinal track (Motility Monitoring)
How does it help?
Gives people who are experiencing gastrointestinal
issues a simple way to diagnose what is wrong.
14. Non invasive way to diagnose gastrointestinal
issues
Avoids surgery
Easy to swallow
No recovery time
Patient is able to live regularly while the pill
diagnoses the issue
Approved by FDA
PROS
15. Patient must fast for 8 hours before test
Cannot eat 6 hours after ingesting the capsule
Stop mobility altering medications 48 hours before
test
Cannot use other prescriptions for the issue 7 days
before the test which may cause discomfort.
Schedule return of data receiver
Cannot be used by patients under 18 years old
Risk of capsule retention
May not work in obese patients
CONS
16. CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion to my research I have found that medical innovation greatly
depends on technology. At any point in our lives, complications can arise
and we must depend on technology to save us. This strongly relates to
technological determinism because as humans, we depend on technology
for our medical needs. Some patients cannot continue living without the
help of medical technology. In the case of AEDs, technology saves lives at
very critical moments. On the other hand, medical technologies such as
bionics do not physically save patients lives, but drastically improve
patients' quality of life.
