Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
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
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.

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!

Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
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.

Profile
By Francisco Montaño
Hugh Jackman is a 45 year old
Australian actor best known for his
role in X-Men, Les Miserable and
Wolverine. What’s impressive from
this actor is his ability to transform
his body for a movie. In he’s last
movie “Wolverine”, everyone was
able to notice the extreme physical condition he was
in, but as the actor recalls “this body isn’t achieved
overnight”, his physical condition is based in about
three hours of exercise a day and a 6000 calorie
diet.
The actor says that the secret to a body like this
one is in your mind, people often set goals, but Hugh
doesn’t, because he doesn’t limit himself to what he
thinks he can do, so this way he can aim for even
more than what he thinks it was possible.
5. This man is an incredible example of
perseverance and self control, even his trainers are
amazed by his determination, and would kill for a
chance to work with him.
This man is setting a
new standard for actors
all over the world,
because he showed
others that its not
enough to be
transformed by a
makeup artist or edited
by computer, a true
dedicated artist, like
him, will go through
extreme measures to
achieve his goal.
6. The Meat Eating Disease
Personal experience by Orlando Leal
When I was three years old, I had one of the strangest sicknesses of all. It is
called necrotizing fascitis, or commonly known as the flesh-eating bacteria.
It all started when I had chicken pox, a virulent infection that makes a lot
of hives on all your body. The streptococcus, which is always around us, could
have an easy way into my body because my immune system was debilitated by
the chicken pox.
I became very sick and my
parents took me to see my
doctor, but he didn´t know
what was causing the illness.
The local doctor recommended
my family that they take me to
the hospital in San Diego
where doctors could diagnose
me and do all the procedures
to heal me. An ambulance took
me across the border to San
Diego’s Children’s hospital,
where I got diagnosed.
Surgeons started doing the
procedure of taking away all
my dead and infected skin, and
replacing it with skin from my
thigh. Now as a way of
remembering I have a huge
scar covering half of my chest.
Luckily I was able to make it out of there alive. I was in the brink of death;
the flesh-eating bacteria ate half of my torso but did not go for any vital organs.
If my parents hadn’t acted fast, I would’ve died.
7. Medical SchoolInterview by Orlando Leal
There are a lot of people who want to be
medical doctors in today’s world.
Information about how to be a doctor is
very scarce and the people who get into
this schools can´t make an educated
decision.
The finality of making this interview is to
give every possible piece of advice and
information for these people, so that they
can make the best possible decision.
In this issue we interview Dr. Gustavo
Rogfed
Is getting into medical school hard? Why?
It is hard but not impossible. It is because
people who get into these schools will be
the people who will care for tomorrow’s
health.
8. What is the hardest thing about medical school?
Doctors need to know a lot of information, and sometimes
you have to learn complete books for a test.
Who would be a perfect candidate for medical school?
Someone who has the vocation to help people out,
people who don´t do it for the money, but for society
Do you regret being a doctor?
I don´t regret a second of my career. True it is hard
sometimes but the results you may get are very satisfying.
What do you like the most about being a doctor?
I like the opportunity to help people out and saving lives. It
gives a lot back to me.

10. Being Vegan Changed
my Life
Personal Experience
Francisco Montaño
All my life I’ve struggled with health problems,
from migraines to numerous stomachaches,
this was something I thought I wouldn’t be
able to control ever. In addition to this my
body was not as fit as I wanted it to be, even
though I worked out for hours on a daily
basis.
All this changed 2 years ago when a friend
and I decided to do a detox for a friends birthday party, we decided
to be vegan for 2 weeks, but after those 2 weeks ended I was so
surprised with the results I decided to continue, and from that
moment till now my life has changed drastically.
The first change I noticed was the transformation my body
experienced, not only did I loose weight, but I got extremely fit and
my muscled looked more toned than ever, even though I consume
no meat at all. Also, my digestion works marvelously, better than
ever, and don’t even get my started on my skin, it’s glowing and free
of pimples. I think another one of the numerous benefits I’ve
experienced is the increase on my levels of energy, before, I would
come home from work exhausted, directly to bed, but now my energy
lasts for hours and when its finally time to go to bed I sleep perfectly.
If you say that being vegan is not for you, I recommend you to give it
a try, you have nothing to loose and a bunch of benefits to discover.
11. MXLiBiCi
Service
By Gabriela Juárez
The last years, the culture of cycling has been increasing in
many cities of the country, including ours. Even though Mexicali
is not exactly the best city for this activity, due to its extreme
weather and also because the city is not designed for this sport,
the popularity of cycling has been very notorious lately.
Some of the issues that affect this activity are that, unlike
other “ecologic” cities, Mexicali does not count with pathways for
cyclists. Other fact that influences in a negative way the
development of cycling is the lack of people´s culture, from
drivers as from cyclists. There are many accidents every week
related to cyclists and drivers. Drivers always discuss and argue
that cyclists don´t respect their limited area for the activity, but it
is also difficult for them to go out for a ride when they do not
have specific areas for this recreational activity.
Recently, an independent organization, called MXLiBiCi, that
is separated from the government and that acts according to its
own needs, has been looking for the welfare of cyclists. They are
already making changes in Mexicali by establishing sections for
cyclists to practice their favorite activity with all the freedom
they need and without danger. These kind of organizations have
a great impact and benefit the city.
12. A SAD LOVE STORY
Nostalgia by Gabriela juárez
This is the story of a very sick woman,
who had no chances of living. She had
a heart disease since she was born.
Her name was Shaniqua, and had a
family that loved her a lot and
supported her; she also had a
boyfriend named Tyron with whom she had been with for 8 years.
Regardless of Shaniqua´s disease, the family tried to have a regular
life and enjoy of each other.
One day, Shaniqua started feeling very
bad, she thought it was not something
important and ignored it. But the time
passed and she did not feel better, she
called her boyfriend but it was already late,
she fainted in her bedroom.
When Tyron arrived home, he saw
13. Shaniqua laying on the floor.
Tyron took her to the hospital and the doctors said that the only way
of saving her life was if she received a transplant. He was in shock
because, getting an organ could take very long, and his girlfriend´s life
was in danger.
Tyron took the hardest decision of his life.
When Shaniqua woke up, she was
feeling refreshed. She saw her
chest and had a big mark but did
not care because she felt very
good at that moment. After some
time, she finally was able to see
her family, parents, and siblings.
But she had a bad feeling when
she did not see her boyfriend.
When she asked for him, no one could tell her what was going on.
After asking for some time where he was, her parents finally told her
that she was living because of him. Tyron had given her his heart.

What to eat and what to stop eating:
Stop eating carbs! in order to start burning fat you’ll
have to do this, I’m sorry if I ruin your happiness, but
carbs include potatoes, rice, candies, basically

really cheap.
Stay away from dairy products; they make you

Stop drinking, alcohol has many calories, and when
combined with juices or sodas the amount of
calories and carbs can double easily.

29. WORKING OUT!
Essay by Esteban Beltrán
Working out is very
important in a daily life. It
helps out with taking your
mind off your problems and
not only will you look better

need to work out at least
three times a week so your
body does not feel tired
every time you work out.
Always workout on Mondays
because it is the first day of
the working wees, if you
start good you will finish

30. To have a great health,
working out comes in hand

be going to the gym and
lifting heavy weights. It can
also be any kind of sport
such as running, cycling
basketball or many others.

32. Precendents About Health
Historical by Esteban Beltrán
Before our time people could not
get the diets and work out plans
that we have today. I am not
talking in a shallow way. What I
am referring to is in a healthy
manner. Many diseases could
have been cured with a good diet
and work out. Diabetes for
example in the 1960s many
people died because they didn’t
know what diet to follow to
stabilize the levels of glucose.
Now a day it is very ways to control diabetes with minimal
workout and eating correctly. It is possible to even cure diabetes
in an early stage with the proper work out plan.
33. Working out has always been present but the progress we have
made during the ages have been significantly better. If we
continue moving forward we will be able to find a way to cure
more diseases y eating
properly and working
out.
34.
35. Diabetes
I’m here with Mrs. Joes to interview her about how her life’s changed
since she was diagnosed with diabetes.
1)Mrs. Joes, how can you describe this sickness?
Diabetes is a disease in which the levels of glucose in your blood are
too high.
2)How does the glucose work then?
It comes from the food you eat every day. However, the most important
factor to remark is the job of insulin in your body.
3)Why is insulin so important?
It helps decompose glucose so your body can obtain energy to complete
all of its functions. That’s why diabetes can be divided into two types.
4)What differentiates them?
If you suffer from diabetes type 1, it means your body doesn’t produce
enough amount of insulin. Nevertheless, if you suffer from type 2
diabetes, it means your body doesn’t produce glucose.
5)What happens when your system is full of glucose?
You tend to get sick more often, get problems in your eyes and kidneys,
and nerves start to emerge consecutively.
6)What do you recommend to us so we can avoid diabetes?
Don’t eat food with a high percentage of sugars, and have
blood tests once a month to see how stable your glucose
levels are.
36. By Mariana Ortiz
Literary Criticism -Mariana O.
“The Paleo Diet”, starting with
Loren Cordein, is a book that
consists on presenting dishes our
ancestors ate and kept them
healthy. As we know, today there
are more heart diseases; in
addition, there has been a raise on
the quantity of people suffering
diabetes, cancer, and other health
issues.
The following are some plates you
CAN eat:
Fresh lean meats
Fresh fish
Fruits and vegetables
Eggs
Nuts and seeds
Healthier oils
The purpose of this diet is to
elude any processed food, since
our historical ancestors didn’t have
the
res
our
ces farmers have right now.
The next points state which foods to
AVOID:
Peanuts and beans
Wheat
Potatoes
Dairy
Refined Sugar
Salt
Canola Oil
In my opinion, this diet is an
effective one but the problem is that
we don’t know how to manage it.
For vegetarians, it’s a bit easier
since they are used to eating lots of
green and organic food. In the other
hand, for us omnivorous, we have a
wider menu. We eat dishes
vegetarians don’t, so it becomes
harder to avoid non-organic plates.
37. At the time we’re doing this diet
we’ll be able to notice ourselves
more active and full with energy.
The catch is to keep eating healthy
and balance our food choices,
especially since we’re through with
this diet.
40. A Matter Of Health
Essay by Mariana Ortiz
For a person to have a good health must be of great
importance because this can regulate their living years. It’s
important to be healthy not only physically but also mentally.
Being cerebrally unstable may put at risk their relationships with
family and friends. The use of drugs and excessive amount of
alcohol may drive them to an unbalanced state of mind.
The first thing they should start considering is watching
carefully what they eat and how much sodium, carbohydrates,
cholesterol, sugars and protein each plate has. Eating dishes with
lots of Trans-fat can block your arteries and reduce your living
years without mentioning other diseases such as obesity. This
could be given to an uncontrollable consumption of food. As a
result of this it’s vital to be healthy in order to live a fully
undependable life.
Health problems can be somewhat easy to take care of when
one cooperates and admit they have a problem. Excessive weight
is usually easier to deal with than anorexia and bulimia. Having a
strict diet and constant exercise during an extended period of
time will certainly help you reach your normal weight. This could
be obtained with doing at least 30 minutes of exercise and they’ll
feel more active and fit.
In conclusion, they should do a deep conscience test and
think how healthy they are and if it’s worth putting their lives at
risk just for the pleasure of eating different plates with lots of fat.
41. Gene Differentiation
Investigative by Orlando Leal
There is a simple way to know if a fetus will grow
up to be a male or a female individual. That is by
watching the sex chromosomes. If he has
chromosomes XY he will grow into a male. In the
case of having XX chromosomes, the individual will
grow up to be a female human. As in almost all
biological systems, there are some cases when the
growth goes extremely wrong. Mistakes that make
people wonder, what makes a boy a boy and a girl a
girl?
The Y chromosome has important and vital
information for the development of male
characteristics. This information is stored
specifically in the SRY gene. When there is an
absence of this gene, the development will be made
into a feminine one, even though the individual
has XY genes. In this case, whether it is a change
of DNA by substitution or deletion, the individual
will be feminine.
The case that is exactly opposite is also
possible. In this, the SRY gene is added to an X
chromosome from the father, resulting in an XX
individual with the gene that codes male
development. In exactly the same way as before,
the individual will be male but with a pair of X
chromosomes in every cell from their DNA
42. Eating Disorders
By Francisco Montaño
Last week we interviewed an expert
on eating disorders. It is not the
same thing listening and taking
advice and information from a
random person and doing the same
thing but with a person you know
has precise information and
expertise. This interview was
answered thoroughly by Doctor Ray
Ramoray.
1. - What takes people into
developing an eating disorder?
When people have a low self-esteem
and they aren´t happy with the
overall and normal way their body
is.
2. - What can be done to prevent an eating disorder?
It is important to be alert and put a lot of attention to the
teenagers and what they are eating. Also try noting the needs that
they have and make them feel loved just the way they are.
3. - Which are the most frequent eating disorders?
The most frequent eating disorder is obesity, or impulsive eating,
although people do not see the problem this is causing in the modern
world.
43. 4. - Who is the most affected or expected to have an eating
disorder?
The most vulnerable group are teenagers. We have seen everything
they are suffering, they are trying to find something that
identifies them, that makes them who they are, and in that pursuit
they get into serious problems. On the other hand women are also
attacked by the extensive propaganda trying to make them look like
unrealistic photo shopped models.
5. -How are eating disorders treated?
Whenever someone is found an eating disorder, nutritionists and
psychologists to treat the physical and mental parts of the problem.
Now that you know this, be prepared and work for a better world free
from eating disorders. Thank you, see you on the next edition of
nutrition.
