As we are getting further from the 20th century many historical facts become clearer and clearer. Looking at the past century in perspective helps us to figure out our way forward. Jung and Frankl urged humanity to assimilate the devastation of the two World Wars by taking personal responsibility, and become aware of our projections, such as nationalism. They insist that reason is not enough to prevent future tragedies. These post-World War issues were never dealt with by humanity, just swept under the rug, as in the second half of the 20th century psychiatry identified
with psychopharmacology. Moreover, psychology's self-imposed limitation to the cognitive domain alone, neglecting the study of emotion or introspection is setting the stage for the 21st century repetition of history. The idea is that the current trajectories of both psychiatry and psychology are unsustainable as they direct us towards polarization, thus opening the way for the terrible enantiodromia. The events world-wide such as geographical fragmentation and failure of the nation states are proofs that we, humans have not dealt with our dormant demons.
Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
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.

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

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.

NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
1. IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL?
If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.”
Once upon a time there was a psychiatrist who worked in a clinic in a small town. One day he gets a new
patient who is very sad and cannot laugh. The psychiatrist calls it depression and tries to treat the patient
with psychotherapy and medications. Many months go by, but the patient does not get better. One day
the frustrated psychiatrist says to the patient; “you know what, I know what will make you laugh. There is
circus in town and in that circus there is a clown. I am convinced that if you would go and see this clown
you will laugh”. “No, I won’t”, replied the patient. “How do you know”, asked the psychiatrist, “have you
seen him?”. The patient looked at him, lowered his eyes and said: “I am that clown”.
Human beings come in two flavors: optimists and pessimists. Pessimism is a state of mind in which one
perceives life negatively. Value judgments may vary dramatically between individuals, even when
judgments of fact are undisputed. The most common example of this phenomenon is the "Is the glass half
empty or half full?" situation.
Martin Seligman from University of Pennsylvania studied the nature of the relationship between optimism
and good health. He says that it might be that, optimists, as opposed to pessimists, are more likely to take
care of their health because they believe in the potential positive outcomes. Or, it could be that optimistic
people are more likeable and build better social networks, which have been associated with longevity.
Another possibility is that optimistic people may have had less trauma or difficulty in their lives (a high
number of negative events in a lifetime correlates with bad health). "All of these are plausible," says
Seligman.
Take the example of two middle-aged men - one an optimist, the other a pessimist - who find themselves
in the ER following a heart attack. Other factors being equal, the optimist has a better chance of a full
recovery, not because positive thinking itself changes his prognosis but because it leads to favorable
changes in his behavior. The pessimist feels resigned. But the optimist is more likely to stop smoking,
avoid fatty foods and salt, engage in moderate exercise and avoid stress-inducing situations. It's this
change in his actions - not the sunny outlook itself - that improves his chances.
We humans tend to be an optimistic bunch. In fact, it's long been established by psychologists that most
people tend to be irrationally positive. The optimism bias, as it's called, accounts for the fact that we
expect to live longer and be more successful than the average and we tend to underestimate the
likelihood of getting a serious disease. Neuroscientist Tali Sharot writes in The Optimism Bias: A Tour of
the Irrationally Positive Brain, "The data clearly shows that most people overestimate their prospects for
professional achievement; expect their children to be extraordinarily gifted; miscalculate their likely life
span (sometimes by twenty years or more); expect to be healthier than the average person and more
successful than their peers; hugely underestimate the likelihood of divorce, cancer and unemployment;
and are confident overall that their future lives will be better than those their parents put up with. This is
known as the optimism bias - the inclination to overestimate the likelihood of encountering positive events
in the future and to underestimate the likelihood of experiencing negative events."
Studies show that pessimism promotes passivity and hopelessness. Research by psychologist Martin
Seligman demonstrates that pessimists often behave helplessly, harming their chances of achieving
desirable results and even feeding depression .
Winston Churchill said, "For myself, I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything
else." On the other hand, Arthur Schopenhauer's pessimism comes from his elevating
of Will above reason as the mainspring of human thought and behavior. Schopenhauer pointed to
2. motivators such as hunger, sexuality, the need to care for children, and the need for shelter and personal
security as the real sources of human motivation. In one metaphor, Schopenhauer compares the human
intellect to a lame man who can see, but who rides on the shoulder of the blind giant of Will.
The disparity between optimistic and pessimistic minds is especially prominent in areas of the brain that
have been linked to depression. "The same areas that malfunction in depression are very active when
people think about positive events," says Tali Sharot who conducted this research at New York
University.
In the study, Sharot had subjects think about emotional events, both positive and negative, like winning
an award or ending a romantic relationship. They did this for past events and those that could plausibly
occur in the future, while their brains were being scanned in a fMRI. Afterwards, subjects filled out a
questionnaire that measured their level of optimism. What Sharot found was that when participants
thought about positive future events, two regions of the brain became much more active than when they
thought about negative events.
One of those areas (the rostral anterior cingulated) was linked to optimism with such consistency that it
surprised Sharot. "You can see it in all the subjects, indicating that it's probably very fundamental to
human nature," she says. "Optimism is mediated in some very strong way in the brain."
Optimism doesn't mean we turn a blind eye to negative circumstances - or we never
entertain darker thoughts. But, more than we realize, our expectations influence both our
perception of reality and our actions - and so alter reality itself.
There is a huge payoff in seeing gray skies as just passing clouds. Optimists expect to have
meaningful relationships, good health and happy, productive lives. They live longer, make
better financial plans, and despair and worry less. They avoid needless anxiety and adjust
better to stress.
Optimism is a source of vitality and hope, courage and confidence. It motivates us to set
goals, to take risks. It encourages persistence in the face of obstacles.
Last year UCLA researchers discovered a gene linked to optimism. Shelly E. Taylor and her colleagues
identified the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR). Oxytocin is a hormone that increases in response to stress
and is associated with good social skills such as empathy and enjoying the company of others.
"This study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to report a gene associated with psychological
resources," said lead study author Shimon Saphire-Bernstein, a doctoral student in psychology in Taylor's
laboratory. "However, we wanted to go further and see if psychological resources explain why the OXTR
gene is tied to depressive symptoms. We found that the effect of OXTR on depressive symptoms was
fully explained by psychological resources."
At a particular location, the oxytocin receptor gene has two versions: an "A" (adenine) variant and a "G"
(guanine) variant. Several studies have suggested that people with at least one "A" variant have an
increased sensitivity to stress, poorer social skills and worse mental health outcomes.
