You Are Good Enough - Joe and Angela Clouse - 3-5-16DenverCoC
Our teenagers are at a stage in their lives where they are constantly struggling to belong. Any form of rejection can become a huge hit to their self-esteem. Too often, acceptance in the “cool” crowd can hang upon their willingness to cross the wrong lines.
Many of us strive to fortify our children’s self-esteem through compliments and affection. However, because of their growing desire to be independent, they may draw away. In our efforts, we can inadvertently bruise our child’s ego or miss opportunities to build their self-confidence.
In this month’s devotional, Joe and Angela Clouse and Wade and Debbie Cook share insights on helping our children to deal with insecurities and anxieties by seeing themselves “In the Eyes of God” and not through the eyes of the world.

Mentally strong people know that the only things we can control in life are our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and that everything else is outside of their control. Therefore, they focus on learning about and improving their thought, feeling, and behavior patterns. They know that success in life will follow. Mental Fitness Hacks:- https://bit.ly/2DJowPW

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!
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

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.

Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Module Fifteen SELF-ESTEEM
1. Module Fifteen
SELF-ESTEEM
Introduction
You can’t touch it, but it affects how you feel. You can’t see it, but it’s there when you
look at yourself in the mirror. You can’t hear it, but it’s there every time you talk or
think about yourself. What is this mysterious but oh-so-important thing? It’s your self-
esteem!
What is Self-Esteem?
To understand self-esteem, it helps to break the term into two words. Let’s look at the
word “esteem” first. “Esteem” is a fancy word for thinking that someone or something is
important or valuing that person or thing. “Self” means just that—yourself! Putting
these two words together equates to how you see yourself and how you feel about your
achievements. Self-esteem isn’t bragging about how great you are. It’s more like quietly
knowing you’re worth a lot (priceless, in fact)! It’s not about thinking you’re perfect—
because no one is—but knowing that you’re worthy of being loved and accepted.
Why is Self-Esteem Important?
Good self-esteem is important because it helps you to hold your head high and feel proud
of yourself and what you can do. It gives you the courage to try new things and the
power to believe in yourself. It lets you respect yourself, even when you make mistakes.
Good self-esteem is also the ticket to making good choices about your safety, your
feelings, your health—your whole self. Good self-esteem helps you know that every part
of you is worth caring for and protecting.
Influences on Self-Esteem
Self-esteem, sometimes called self-image, is that internal picture we hold of ourselves—it
is who WE think WE are. There are a number of factors which influence one’s self-
esteem. Among these are:
• Temperament—your inborn, natural tendencies. Temperament combined with
one’s life experiences equals personality. A person who is naturally shy may
change his/her outward behavior to appear outgoing, but the basic temperament
toward shyness always remains.
• Upbringing and parental message
• Childhood peers
• Self-talk
• Teachers
• Other family members
• Adult peers
• Significant others
• Media
2. 2
• Authority Figures
Tips for Boosting Self-Esteem
1. Ask yourself, “What’s the worst thing that could happen?” Don’t waste time or
energy worrying about potential problems; take action on what you have control
over and minimize risks for what you don’t.
2. In doing something for the first time, imagine that you have already done it.
VIVIDLY imagine your success.
3. Find someone who is already confident in that area and copy them. Model their
behaviors, attitudes, values, and beliefs.
4. Use the “as-if” frame. Act “as-if” you are confident: fake it until you make it!
5. Ask yourself, “Will this be such a big deal in the future?” Keeping things in
proper perspective diminishes fear.
6. To get what you want, ask for it. Believe people want to help you if they can.
7. Disarm the negative self-talk. Imagine a volume control and turn it down—or
off! Imagine Mickey Mouse is criticizing you. List three good things about
yourself and three things that make you feel good.
8. Learn to say “NO!” You are not alone, or crazy, or a bad person, or need to feel
guilty because you say, “No.” None of us are any good to anyone else unless we
do what is right for us first.
9. Learn to listen to your inner self. Your instincts are usually your truest guide to
your truest self. As you honor yourself, you reclaim your personal power.
10. Choose how YOU want to spend your time and how YOU want to live your life.
Not only is it all right, it is imperative that you question the things you do and
consciously choose how to spend your time and energy. It’s your life. You can
live it by design or by default. Either way, you only live once.
Changing Your Self-Esteem
Changing your self-esteem means changing how you see yourself. It involves
challenging the beliefs you have about yourself. Try these steps:
1. Sit down and write out the key points you believe to be true about yourself—all
the things that influence how you act and feel; they can be both negative and
positive.
3. 3
2. Challenge each item on this list. Is this really true? Do I feel that way, or is this
based on my perception of how I think someone else feels about me? Have I
given this too much sway in my life? How important is this to me?
3. Develop a new list of beliefs. Imagine that you get to move to a new place where
no one knows you. How would you behave differently in these new
circumstances?
4. Begin to implement these new behaviors. Reinforce to yourself that this behavior
is you—not what you said or were told before.
5. Take time to change. Beliefs about self don’t change overnight—but the effort is
worth it to create a new healthier, happier, and more confident YOU!
Conclusion
By focusing on the good things you do and all your great qualities, you learn to love and
accept yourself, and that’s the main ingredient for strong self-esteem. Even if you’ve got
room for improvement (and who doesn’t?), realizing that you are valuable and important
helps your self-esteem to shine.
I Dare You
From Oscar Bruce
I DARE YOU to resist the pressure to become ordinary and to ignore those who give you
their version of why you cannot rise above mediocrity.
I DARE YOU to free yourself from the shackles of your past conditioning, to break the
chains that bind you to false beliefs about what you can do with your life.
I DARE YOU to aim at something worth of the best that is in you. You are a better,
more capable person than you have experienced so far, or that others have led you to
believe you are.
I DARE YOU to go after what you want, pursuing what is important to you. A life that
satisfies is impossible without a sense of achievement and fulfillment.
I DARE YOU to think bigger, to act bigger, to become bigger. There are no limitations
on dreams.
From Norman Vincent Peale:
Have great hopes and dare to go all out for them.
Have great dreams and dare to live them.
Have great expectations and dare to believe in them.

MY DECLARATION OF SELF-ESTEEM
I am me.
In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. There are persons who
have some parts like me, but no one adds up exactly like me. Therefore,
everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it.
I own everything about me: my body, including everything it does; my mind,
including all its thoughts and ideas; my eyes, including the images of all they
behold; my feelings, whatever they may be: anger, joy, frustration, love,
disappointment, excitement; my mouth, and all the words that come out of it:
polite, sweet, or rough, correct or incorrect; my voice, loud or soft; and all my
actions, whether they be to others or to myself.
I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By doing
so, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts. I can then make it
possible for all of me to work in my best interests.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I
do not know. But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can
courageously and hopefully look for the solutions to the puzzles and for ways to
find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel
at a given moment in time is me. This is authentic and represents where I am at
that moment in time.
When I review later how I looked and sounded, and what I said and did, and how
I thought and felt, some parts may turn out to be unfitting. I can discard that
which is unfitting, and keep that which proved fitting, and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to
others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me, and, therefore, I can engineer me.
I am me and I am okay.
