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!

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).

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass.

3. What might the future hold?
Why we need to understand creativity and it’s differing impact?
Why courage is more important than ever before?
Why it’s important to question what it means to be “independent”?
Warning…
I’m going to say some stuff you already know, ask lots of difficult questions say lots of
contentious things. Some things may sound off the wall…
Please know that I don’t have all the answers…but asking difficult questions is always
important, even if the answers are not yet clear.

Volatile,
Uncertain,
Complex &
Ambiguous
6. The future?....
What might the world look like in
20/30/40 years time?
What occupational challenges might we
all be facing?
What expectations might we have from
our work, social life, education and
health systems?
How will travel/mobility be different?
(assuming we all don’t have a TARDIS!) From my TARDIS I see….
7. Changing work patterns, predicted years ago, are already taking hold = Less “work”
Greater leisure time, but some are working harder than ever before.
Housing – more communal living as land & property become more scarce & costly?
Environmental/political issues might displace people “en mass” globally
Information: people are more informed & have different views about managing their health
Current predictions indicate an aging population with multiple LT conditions, but my children…raised
on ipods & cheese strings….?
An epidemic of mental health problems…it’s already here and may worsen
Neuro-diversity – perhaps it will become understood as the norm in the future?
Cycling, walking, baking, growing, making… an explosion in meaning making, purpose & connection

The desire to
explore ……
I wonder what OT
could do here….?
10. Explorations….small goat tracks that
emerge in the forest have included…
• Student role-emergent placements of all kinds, such as
fire service, homelessness services, dementia cafes/day
care
• Community wellbeing cafes
• Using a passion for baking to form a social enterprise
• Using football and OT
• Using OT models in corporate settings…not to do with
wellbeing/health (performance and recruitment)
• Coaching…
13. “We can not solve our
problems with the
same level of thinking
that created them”
Einstein
14. • Combinational creativity:
combining familiar things or
ideas to come up with
something new
• Exploratory creativity:
using what’s already there,
but with new twists or
changes
• Transformational
creativity: rule book is
thrown away, the idea may be
quite shocking..oooeerrr
OT + ambulance
OT uses circus skills
Rapid resp OT in A&E or
OT employed by a school
OT sets up new education
service in the community
or in a forest... or
OT joins a social circus,
training circus workers etc
15. Independent?????
1. free from outside control; not subject
to another's authority, self-governing, not
supported by public funds.
2. not depending on another for
livelihood or subsistence (of income or
resources) making it unnecessary to earn
one's living.
3. capable of thinking or acting for
oneself, not influenced by others; impartial
4. not connected with another or with
each other; separate. Not depending on
something else for strength or effectiveness;
free-standing.
20. • Small actions whilst holding a big vision in mind
• Not a choice between philanthropy and commercialism….it
needs to be both.
• Hold OT firmly in one hand and use the other to feel, scope,
understand and relate to the broader world
• Look outside the OT box
(yey, cliché!) … who else is doing
stuff, what they are calling it,
how they are getting funding,
marketing “it”
