I. Incidences of teen dating abuse are unexpectedly high, with nearly 1 in 3 teens reporting sexual abuse, physical abuse, or threats of physical abuse, and nearly 1 in 2 reporting being controlled or pressured into unwanted acts. Many teens also know someone who has experienced abuse.
II. There appears to be a link between families experiencing economic problems, higher levels of domestic violence between parents, and teens experiencing higher rates of dating abuse themselves.
III. Despite the high levels of abuse, most parents are dangerously unaware of the dating abuse occurring in their teens' lives.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Liz Claiborne Teen Dating Abuse Article
1. EMBARGOED UNTIL WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10th at 9:00AM EST
Teen Dating Abuse 2009 Key Topline Findings
Liz Claiborne Inc. and Family Violence Prevention Fund
commissioned research to quantify levels of Teen Dating Abuse,
better understand Parental Engagement on the issue, and determine if
the Economy had an impact.
Key Findings: American teens from across the country are
experiencing alarmingly high levels of abuse in their dating
relationships, and the economy appears to have made it worse.
Nearly half of all teens whose families have experienced economic
problems in the past year report having witnessed their parents
abusing each other. These teens report a higher incidence of abuse in
their own dating relationships.
Parents are disturbingly out of touch with the level of teen dating
violence and abuse among their teens. The large majority of abused
teens are not informing parents and, even when they do, most stay in
abusive relationships.
Methodology in Brief
TRU was commissioned to conduct quantitative research among teens who have been in a
relationship (ages 13-18) and parents of teens (ages 11-18) about young dating relationships
and the presence/absence of abusive behaviors. TRU independently sampled the two groups
and fielded a customized 15-minute survey online to both groups from April 10 to May 5, 2009.
TRU recommended online as the data-collection method for this research not only because of
its high penetration (93%) among this population, but also because of the sensitive nature of the
content of this survey, allowing young people to answer candidly (i.e., no adult interviewer)
within the context of their preferred communications method. A total of 1,233 teens and 500
parents completed the survey, resulting in a margin of error (at the 95% confidence level) of
±2.8 percentage points for teens in total, and ±4.4 percentage points for parents.
2. I. Incidences of Teen Dating Abuse are unexpectedly high. Nearly
1 in 3 report actual sexual abuse, physical abuse, or threats of
physical abuse. Nearly 1 in 4 have been victimized through
technology, and nearly 1 in 2 teens in relationships report being
controlled, threatened, and pressured to do things they did not
want to do.
47% Have personally been victimized by controlling behaviors from a boyfriend or
girlfriend
29% Have been the victim of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or threats of physical
abuse by a boyfriend or girlfriend
24% Have been victimized by the use of technology from a boyfriend or girlfriend
11% Have been the victim of verbal abuse from a boyfriend or girlfriend
> Further, extremely high numbers of teens know someone their age who has
experienced abuse in their dating relationships.
80% Know someone who has been a victim of controlling behaviors from a
boyfriend or girlfriend
60% Know someone who has been the victim of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or
threats of physical abuse by a boyfriend or girlfriend
51% Know someone who has been victimized via the use of technology from a
boyfriend or girlfriend
35% Know someone who has been the victim of verbal abuse from a boyfriend or
girlfriend
*See key on last page for specific acts included in abusive behavior categories above
3. II. There appears to be a link between the economy, higher levels
of violence and abuse between parents, and teens’ own
experience with dating violence and abuse.
> Nearly three-fourths(74%) of all teens surveyed report their families have
experienced economic problems in the past year.
> Nearly half of these teens (44%) report witnessing some form of violent or abusive
behavior between their parents. These behaviors include repeated verbal abuse (35%),
severe controlling behavior (27%), or physical abuse and threats (18%).
> Notably,67% of these same teens experienced some form of dating violence and
abuse themselves (vs. 45% of teens who have not witnessed domestic violence
between their parents).
> Teens who have witnessed domestic violence and abuse between their parents
experience abuse at a 50% higher rate than those who have not witnessed abuse.
4. III. Despite the high numbers of teens experiencing abuse, parents
are dangerously out of touch with the level of dating violence
and abuse taking place in their children’s lives.
> Nearly two-thirds of parents (63%) whose children have been in a dating
relationship say dating violence and abuse have not been a problem for their teens, but
the data shows otherwise.
» Parents are unaware of specific types of abuse that their teens are experiencing.
% of relationship teens who % of parents who are unaware
say they’ve been a victim of abuse in teen’s relationship
Controlling behaviors 47% 67%
Tech abuse 24% 82%
Verbal abuse 19% 88%
Sexual abuse 17% 90%
Physical abuse 12% 90%
Parents feel confident they can spot the signs of abuse, but they
are mistaken:
> Though 82% of parents feel confident that they could recognize the signs if their
child was experiencing dating abuse, a majority of parents (58%) could not
correctly identify all the warning signs of abuse.
> While nearly two-thirds of parents claim to be comfortable talking to their teen about the
most serious aspects of dating abuse and 75% of parents say they have had a
conversation with their teen about what it means to be in a healthy relationship, the
research shows these conversations between parents and teens have not been
effective.
5. IV. The majority of teens in abusive relationships have not confided
in their parents. When these teens do confide in their parents,
significant numbers do not heed parents’ advice.
Of those who have been in an abusive dating relationship, fewer than one-
third (32%) have confided in a parent about their abusive relationship.
> But when they do have conversations, significant numbers of teens do not take their
parents’ advice. Alarmingly, 78%
of teens who have experienced dating abuse
report staying in relationships despite their parents’ advice.
When encouraged by their parent to break up with their boyfriend/girlfriend due to
abusive behavior, teens…
Abused Teens
… decided to give their boyfriend/girlfriend one more 63%
chance
… listened to parents advice, but decided not to break up 62%
… ignored their advice because they profess love for their 31%
boyfriend or girlfriend
… lied to parents, telling them they broke up, simply to get 28%
them “off their back,” but continued the relationship
…have done at least one of the above 78%
6. V. Overall, despite its prevalence, dating abuse remains hidden and
is not being talked about by teens and parents.
> 74% of sons and 66% of daughters say they have not had a conversation about
dating abuse with a parent in the past year.
> Only 28% of teens say they have had a conversation about dating abuse with Mom,
and fewer than half as many (13%), say they have had a dating abuse conversation
with Dad.
» The frequency of parent-teen conversations about the topic of abuse pales in
comparison to that of other tough issues. While fewer than 1 in 3 (31%) teens have
talked to parents about dating abuse in the past year, more than 6 out of 10 teens
have had a conversation with a parent in the past year about…
- Drugs (71%)
- Alcohol (71%)
- Sex (64%)
Among teens whose families have experienced economic
problems in the past year, conversations about dating abuse are
drowned out by talks about money.
> 71% of teens whose families have been affected by the economy in the past year
have NOT had a conversation with a parent about dating abuse.
> In comparison, more than 8 out of 10 of these teens say they HAVE had a conversation
with a parent about:
» Money (92%)
» The economy in general (86%)
» Family finances (82%)
7. VI. Teens are not talking to their parents or other authority figures
about abuse.
> 80% of teens who’ve been in an abusive relationship have turned to a friend for help.
» Fewer than 1 in 3 have…
Abused Teens
… talked to a parent 32%
… gone to a website or online resources for help 21%
… talked to a school counselor or social worker 15%
…called an abuse help line 5%
8. VII. Conversations on dating abuse are difficult and unproductive
because both teens and their parents are extremely
uncomfortable talking to each other about the most serious
aspects of dating abuse.
> Teens are uncomfortable talking to their parents, especially Dad, about abuse issues.

> At least a quarter of all parents are uncomfortable talking about the most serious
aspects of dating abuse with their teens.
> Dads are particularly uncomfortable talking to their daughters.
> In combination with the high level of discomfort expressed by teens, parents’
discomfort virtually ensures these conversations won’t happen.

9. VIII. Dads appear to be much more in touch with the reality of teen
dating abuse than Moms; however, Dads and teens aren’t
talking.
> 46% of Dads (compared to 29% of Moms) are aware of the dating abuse taking
place in their teen’s relationship.
» However, only 13% of teens say they have had a dating abuse conversation
with Dad.
> Not surprisingly, dating abuse is an especially uncomfortable topic of discussion
between Dads and Daughters.

> Nearly half of Dads (43%) are unaware of any resources to help them have a
conversation with their teen about dating abuse.
IX. Majority of teens who have been taught about teen dating
violence and abuse say it has helped them.
> Only 25% of teens say they’ve taken a course on relationships and dating at school,
but
» Fully three-fourths of those teens who have taken such a course at school (75%) say
they learned about the signs of an abusive relationship in this course and now feel
confident that they would be able to judge whether a relationship is abusive.
» 2 out of 3 (65%) found this class helpful in learning about appropriate dating and
relationship behavior .
10. X. Most parents claim their child’s school does not provide
education on dating abuse, and most are at a loss for where to
get help.
> Although 84% of parents say schools should provide dating and relationship
education, only 30% of parents say their child’s school in fact provides such
education.
> 37% of parents are unaware of any resources to help them have a conversation with
their teen about dating abuse.
