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.
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

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
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.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. 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. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. 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
4. Center of Rotation
In primary position the center of rotation is located about13.5 mm (in myopes,
14.5 mm) behind the apex of the cornea on the line of sight, which places it 1.3
mm behind the equatorial plane.
5. Definitions of Terms and Action of
Individual Muscles
Cardinal movements of the eye.
Duction movements - The rotations of the single eye are termed.
Adduction - Rotations around the vertical axis (horizontal excursions of
the globe), movement nasalward .
Abduction - Rotations around the vertical axis, movement templeward.
Elevation or sursumduction - Rotations around the horizontal axis
(vertical excursions of the globe), movement upward.
Depression or deorsumduction - Rotations around the horizontal
axis movement downward.
6. Definitions of Terms and Action of
Individual Muscles
Ductions. Secondary positions, right eye. A, Adduction. B,
Abduction. C, Sursumduction (elevation). D, Deorsumduction
(depression).
7. Definitions of Terms and Action of
Individual Muscles
Cycloductions - Rotations around the anteroposterior
axis of the globe, known as, rotate the upper pole of the
cornea templeward (excycloduction) or nasalward
(incycloduction).
Ductions. Secondary positions, right eye. A, Adduction. B, Abduction.
C, Sursumduction (elevation). D, Deorsumduction (depression).
8. Definitions of Terms and Action of
Individual Muscles
Positions of the globe
Primary position is assumed by the eye when one is lookin straight ahead
with body and head erect.
Secondary positions is the adducted, abducted, elevated, or
depressed positions of the globe.
Tertiary positions is the oblique positions of the eye.
9. Definitions of Terms and Action of
Individual Muscles
Some tertiary positions, right eye. A, Gaze up and right. B,
Gaze up and left. C, Gazedown and right. D, Gaze down and left.
10. Definitions of Terms and Action of
Individual Muscles
Terms related to the mechanism of muscles.
Tangential point is a point at which the center of the muscle or
of its tendon first touches the globe.
The arc of contact is the arc formed between the tangential
point and the center of the insertion of the muscle on the
sclera.
The muscle plane is determined by the tangent to the globe at
the tangential point and the center of rotation.
11. Definitions of Terms and Action of
Individual Muscles
Schematic presentation of muscle plane, medial rectus, axis
of rotation, tangential point, and arc of contact.

Lateral rectus Abduction — —
Inferior rectus Depression Excycloduction Adduction
Superior rectus Elevation Incycloduction Adduction
Inferior oblique Excycloduction Elevation Abduction

Action of the Extraocular Muscles from the Primary Position.
14. Donder’s Law
Donders34 expressed this theory in 1848
by stating that to each position of the line
of sight belongs a definite orientation of
the horizontal and vertical retinal
meridians relative to the coordinates of
space.
15. Listing’s Law.
Listing suggested that each movement of the
eye from the primary position to any other position
involves a rotation around a single axis lying in the
equatorial plane, also called Listing’s plane.
Listing’s law implies that all eye movements from
the primary position are true to the meridians and
occur without ‘‘torsion’’ or cyclorotation with respect
to the primary position.
16. Bowl with inscribed meridians and movable disk carrying a
cross to produce afterimage to show that eye movements from
primary position are true to
meridians.
17. Sherrington’s Law of Reciprocal
Innervation.
Considered as the mover producing that movement,
the muscle is called an agonist.
A movement in the direction opposite that produced
by the agonist is caused by its antagonist.
Two muscles moving an eye in the same direction are
synergists.
Synergistic muscles in the two eyes—muscles that
cause the two eyes to move in the same direction
—are known as yoke muscles.
18. Sherrington’s Law of Reciprocal
Innervation.
Whenever an agonist receives an impulse to contract,
an equivalent inhibitory impulse is sent to its antagonist,
which relaxes and actually lengthens. This is
Sherrington’s law of reciprocal innervation.
Sherrington’s law applies to all striated muscles of
the body and is not limited to the extraocular muscles.
19. Sherrington’s law of
reciprocal innervation.
A, On levoversion, increased
contraction (+) of the RMR and left
lateral rectus LLR is accompanied by
decreased tonus (0) of the antagonistic
RLR and LMR muscles
B, Increased activity of both medial
rectus muscles and decreased tonus
of both lateral rectus muscles during
convergence.
C, Contraction and relaxation of
opposing muscle groups on
dextrocycloversion when the head is
tilted to the left shoulder. RSO,; RSR,;
LSO,; LSR,; RIO,; RIR,; LLO,; LIR..
20. Hering’s Law of Equal Innervation.
Herington Law of equal innervation states that during
any conjugate eye movement, equal and simultaneous
innervation flows to the yoke muscles
In the case of a paretic squint, the amount of innervation
to both eyes is symmetrical, and always determined by
the fixating eye, so that the angle of deviation will vary
according to which eye is used for fixation.
21. Hering’s law of equal innervation.
A, During levoversion the right medial
rectus and the left lateral rectus muscles
receive an equal and simultaneous flow of
innervation.
B, During convergence the right and left
medial
rectus muscles receive equal and
simultaneous innervation.
C, When the head is tilted to the left, the
musclegroups controlling excycloduction of
the right eye and incycloductionof the left
eye receive equal and simultaneous
innervation. However, inclination of the
head is only partially compensated for by
wheel rotations of the eyes.
23. Terminology of Ocular Movements
Uniocular movements.
- All uniocular rotations are termed ductions.
- Prism vergences should never be called ductions.
Binocular movements.
- Synchronous simultaneous movements of the two
eyes in the same direction are called versions.
- Synchronous simultaneous movements of the two eyes in
opposite directions are called vergences.
- Versions are fast and vergences are slow eye movements.
25. Versions
To enlarge the field of view and to bring the object of
attention onto the fovea.
Versions are either voluntary or involuntary.
They are voluntary if the subject moves the eyes of his
or her own volition.
They can be horizontal, vertical and oblique versions.
26. Versions
Naturally occurring cycloversions are postural reflexes.
They arise from stimuli in the neck muscles and the
inner ear.
When the head is lifted, the eyes go down; when the
head is lowered, the eyes go up.
This is the oculocephalic reflex - doll’s head
phenomenon, oculovestibular
reflex,Puppenkopfphanomen.
27. A, Levoversion with
the head turned to the
right.
B, Dextroversion with
the head turned to the
left.
C, Depression of the
eyes with the chin
elevated.
D, Elevation of the
eyes with the chin
depressed.
28. Vergences
The vergences fulfill the second of the two tasks assigned to
the motor system of the eyes.
They are movements of the two eyes in opposite
directions,they are also known as disjunctive movements.
Vergence movements serve not only to bring the eyes into
proper alignment but also to maintain this alignment.
These movements are performed also in the interest of
single binocular vision.
Divergence movements are not an active function but
simply the return of the globes to a more parallel position by
elastic forces when convergence impulses were relaxed.
29. Coordination of Eye Movements
Separate systems exist to control each different
subtyppe of eye movement: saccades, smooth pursuit,
and vergence.
May be nuclear or supranuclear.
May be reflexive or voluntary.
Separate systems exist to govern vertical and
horizontal eye movements.
30. Targeting Eye Movements.
1. Saccades: Quick, darting conjugate movements
which direct the to eye to a new target.
2. Smooth pursuit: A slower conjugate movement
which allows for tracking of a moving object, or of a
stationary object while we are moving.
3. Convergence: A dysconjugate movement of both
eyes toward the midline to allow for focusing on a
near object by adjusting the angle between the eyes.
31. How the Extraocular Muscles
Work
Underaction of the extraocular muscles can
be readily explained due to reduced rotation of
the globe.
Observation of clinical strabismus
suggests that only cases of excess
innervation such as occurs in the yoke
muscle of a paretic muscle can legitimately
be called overaction.
33. Clinical evaluation of strabismus with
restricted motility
Underaction.
A. Fixing with the sound eye (primary
deviation) - a right esotropia is
observed.
B. Levoversion is essentially normal.
C. Dextroversion shows limitation of
abduction in the right eye.
D. Fixing with the paretic eye and/or
mechanically restricted right eye
produces a larger secondary deviation.
35. Passive duction testing of the oblique
muscles
A. The eye is grasped at the 2 o’clock
and 10 o’clock position (right eye from
above) in preparation.
B. The eye is pushed back into the
orbit and is guided from nasal to
temporal. As it goes over the normal
superior oblique tendon, the eye
‘pops’ up.
C. With a lax or loose tendon the
cornea disappears and remains
hidden behind the upper lid as the
eye is rotated.
D. The relative path of the globe as it
passes over a normal tendon.
E. A lax superior oblique tendon
allows the globe to be pushed
backward into the orbit.
The superior oblique traction test.

muscles
A .The right eye is grasped at the limbus.
B. The eye is rotated nasally and ‘pushed
back’ in the orbit.
C1. The eye is brought temporally -- the
surgeon ‘feels’ for the ‘pop up’ of the
inferior oblique which is still present.
C2. If no ‘pop’ is felt, the inferior oblique
has been effectively weakened.
D. The eye normally recedes in abduction
regardless of the state of the inferior
oblique.
