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!
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
2. Gall bladder Stores & Concentrates Bile
The commonest location of impaction of a
gallstone is Hartmann’s pouch
Hartmann's pouch is an out-pouching of the
wall of the gallbladder at the junction of the
neck of the gallbladder and the cystic duct.
3. The main function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate the bile secreted
by the liver and then deliver it into the intestine for digestion and absorption of
fat. The concentrating ability of the gallbladder is due to its absorptive mucosal
surface that has numerous folds.
4. Normally, the liver secretes
approximately 500 ml of
bile per day and the
gallbladder concentrates it
5-10 times. The motility,
concentration and
relaxation of the
gallbladder are under the
influence of a peptide
hormone, cholecystokinin,
released from
neuroendocrine cells of the
duodenum and jejunum.
Cholesterol,
Bile Pigments,
Calcium Salts
CHOL, GALL Liver secretes 400-800 ml bile per day
Lecithin
5. Cholelithiasis
*Presence of stones in the gallbladder
is referred to as cholelithiasis (from the Greek
chol- (bile) +
lith- (stone) +
iasis- (process).
3% to 4% in Asian countries
Gallbladder (cholecyst, or biliary vesicle, bile bladder)
GALL means BILE or Chol
They are usually formed in the gallbladder, but
sometimes may develop within extrahepatic
biliary passages, and rarely in the larger
intrahepatic bile duct (Pigment stones).
6. CHOLELITHIASIS (GALLSTONES)
Epidemiology
• Gallstones afflict (badly affect)10% to 20% of adult
populations in developed countries.
• It is estimated that more than 20 million persons
in the United States have gallstones, totaling some
25 to 50 tons in weight!
Over 95% of biliary tract disease is
attributable to
cholelithiasis (gallstones).
7. *TYPES OF GALLSTONES
1.Cholesterol stones 20%
2.Pigment stones (Black & Brown) 5%
3.Mixed stones 75%
I. PURE GALLSTONES: Cholesterol stones, Pigment stones, Calcium Stones
II. MIXED GALLSTONES
III. COMBINED gallstones ( shell different & nucleus different).
8. *Pathogenesis or Lithogenesis
• Bile formation is the only significant pathway for
elimination of excess cholesterol from the body,
either as free cholesterol or as bile salts.
Cholesterol is rendered water-soluble by
aggregation with bile salts and lecithins
(Phospholipids).
• When cholesterol concentrations exceed the
solubilizing capacity of bile (supersaturation),
cholesterol can no longer remain dispersed and
crystallizes out of solution.
CHOLESTEROL STONES:
9. Cholesterol gallstone formation involves four
simultaneous conditions:
(1) Supersaturation: The bile must be
supersaturated with cholesterol;
(2) Hypomotility (Stasis): Hypomotility of the
gallbladder promotes nucleation;
(3) Nucleation: Cholesterol nucleation in the bile is
accelerated;
(4) Accretion: Hypersecretion of mucus in the
gallbladder traps the nucleated crystals, leading to
their aggregation into stones (Accretion).
Accretion within the gallbladder mucous layer.
10. Schematic pathogenesis of gallstone formation. (HMG- CoAR = hydroxy methyl
glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase; 7α-OHase = cholesterol 7 α-OHase hydroxylase;
MDR3 = multidrug resistance- associated protein 3).
Cholesterol Stones:
Imbalance between bile salts, lecithin
& cholesterol allows cholesterol to
precipitate out of solution and form
stones.
Pigment Stones: Occur due to excess
of circulating pigments (e.g.,
Hemolytic anemia.
11. The four contributing factors for cholelithiasis: supersaturation, gallbladder
hypomotility, crystal nucleation, and accretion within the gallbladder mucous layer.

Cholesterol is essentially
insoluble in water and can be
solublised by another lipid.
Normally, cholesterol and
phospholipids (lecithin) are
secreted into bile as
‘bilayered vesicles’ but are
converted into ‘mixed
miscelles’ by addition of bile
acids, the third constituent. If
there is excess of cholesterol
compared to the other two
constituents, unstable
cholesterol-rich vesicles
remain behind which
aggregate and form
cholesterol crystals.
When cholesterol
concentrations exceed the
solubilizing capacity of bile
(supersaturation),
cholesterol can no longer
remain dispersed and
crystallizes out of solution.
12.
13. Pathogenesis – Pigment Stones
• Formation of PIGMENT stones is more likely in
the presence of UNCONJUGATED BILIRUBIN in the
biliary tree, as occurs in hemolytic anemias and
infections of the biliary tract.
• The precipitates are primarily insoluble calcium
bilirubinate salts.
14. The risk factors most commonly
associated with the development of
cholesterol stones are:
1. ↑Age and Sex-F.
2. Environmental Factors.
3. Acquired Disorders.
4. Hereditary Factors.
Recently, mutation in
CYP7A1 gene has been
found that results in
deficiency of enzyme,
cholesterol 7-hydroxylase,
which has a role in bile
acid synthesis. This
mutation is associated with
hypercholesterolaemia and
gallstones.
Deficiency of dietary fibre content is
linked to higher prevalence of
gallstones. A moderate consumption of
alcohol, however, seems to protect
against gallstones
15. These factors cause enhanced
activity of enzyme, HMG-CoA
reductase, that normally
regulates cholesterol synthesis
and its hepatic uptake.

16. Any condition in which gallbladder motility is reduced
predisposes to gallstones, such as pregnancy, rapid
weight loss, and spinal cord injury. In most cases,
however, gallbladder hypomotility is present without
obvious cause.
17. Up to 80% of people with gallstones, however,
have no identifiable risk factors other than AGE
and GENDER.

18. Morphology – Cholesterol Stones
• Cholesterol stones arise exclusively in the
gallbladder and consist of 50% to 100%
cholesterol.
• Pure cholesterol stones are pale yellow; increasing
proportions of calcium carbonate, phosphates, and
bilirubin (Mixed Stones) impart gray-white to black
discoloration .
Pure gallstones, Mixed gallstones and Combined gallstones.
19. Morphology – Cholesterol Stones
• They are Large, ovoid and firm; they can occur
singly, but most often there are several, with
faceted surfaces resulting from their apposition.
• Most (80%) cholesterol stones are radiolucent,
although as many as 20% may have sufficient
calcium carbonate to be radiopaque.
20. Morphology - Pigment Stones
• Pigment stones may arise ANYWHERE in the biliary
tree and are classified into BLACK & BROWN stones.
• In general, BLACK pigment stones are found in
sterile gallbladder bile, while BROWN stones are
found in infected intrahepatic or extrahepatic ducts.
• The stones contain calcium salts of unconjugated
bilirubin and lesser amounts of other calcium salts,
mucin glycoproteins, and cholesterol.
• Black stones are usually small in size, fragile to the
touch, and numerous.
21. Morphology – Brown stones
• Brown stones tend to be single or few in number
and to have a soft, greasy, soaplike consistency
that results from the presence of retained fatty
acid salts released by the action of bacterial
phospholipases on biliary lecithins.
• Because of calcium carbonates and phosphates,
50% to 75% of black stones are radiopaque.
• Brown stones, which contain calcium soaps, are
radiolucent.
22. Mutation in MDR3 gene has
been found that causes defect
in phospholipid secretion from
bile (↓Lecithin), resulting in
cholesterol supersaturation of
bile and cholesterol gallstone
formation.
???
32. Clinical features
• The vast majority of gallstones
(>80%) are “silent,” and
most individuals remain free of
biliary pain or other complications
for decades.
33. Symptoms
Symptoms commonly begin to appear
once the stones reach a certain size
(>8 mm).
Symptomatic gallstone disease appears
only when complications develop.
35. Pain- Biliary Colic
• The patients with gallstones develop symptoms due
to cholecystitis which include typical biliary colic
precipitated by fatty meal, nausea, vomiting, fever
along with leucocytosis and high serum bilirubin.
37. A cholescintigraphy scan, also
known as: Hepatobiliary
Iminodiacetic Acid HIDA, a nuclear
imaging procedure to evaluate the
health and function of the
gallbladder. A radioactive tracer is
injected through any accessible vein,
then allowed to circulate to the liver,
where it is excreted into the biliary
system and stored by the gallbladder
and biliary system.[1]
In the absence of disease, the
gallbladder is visualized within 1 hour
of the injection of the radioactive tracer.
If the gallbladder is not visualized
within 4 hours after the injection, this
indicates either cholecystitis or cystic
duct obstruction. Cholescintigraphy for
acute cholecystitis has sensitivity of
97%, specificity of 94%
