Gun violence reframed as a public health issueWayne Caswell
Public Health officials have a legitimate interest in preventing gun violence, even if the NRA, Congress, and the health insurance and medical industries do not, because they profit more from gun sales and treating gun injuries and long-term disabilities than from preventing them.
At Modern Health Talk, we see the future of mHealth as less about Mobile health and more about MODERN healthcare that includes all sorts of solutions for addressing demographic shift of retiring baby boomers and the resulting doctor shortage.
These solutions include mobile technologies (smartphones & tablets) and big broadband support of high-def video calls with medical imaging, as well as new delivery options such as retail clinics and insurance-funded home care (and home modifications), remote sensor monitoring, healthcare robots, Watson-like cloud services, new laws & regulations, support of family caregivers, and more.

Chipping away at healthcare special interests yetWayne Caswell
In this article about public interests versus private interests, I reflect on the healthcare progress that consumers are making despite politicians working against them.
PURPOSE -- Choosing Why you live, not just HowWayne Caswell
Slides supporting a talk given to Austin's LaunchPad Job Club about finding Purpose in your life, or your job search, using my own journey as examples.
This is the complete technical spec of HomeRF V2.01 adopted 2001/05/07.
HomeRF is a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum wireless home networking technology that once dominated the market with over 90% share, but that was when Wi-Fi was still new and expensive. The market eventually decided on a single standard for work, home and public hotspots, and it was an improved and more affordable Wi-Fi. Still, the hopping design of HomeRF has some significant technical advantages.
A history of HomeRF and collection of presentations, whitepapers, and related materials is available in the HomeRF Archives. Just Google it.
It's risky to say that something can't or won't be done, especially when technology is concerned. Here are some past quotations that still haunt their speakers today:
For Wild Flower is a community park in the Dallas suburb of Flower Mound with an interesting funding model. You'll see from the slides that individuals and businesses alike can sponsor the various park equipment and even the brick pavers and fence pickets.
The commemorative plaque credits the various politicians and business leaders that helped make the park a success, and could be a model for others trying to fund their own land purchases and park development.
I created this handout for the Democratic National Convention. Homeowners of Texas, a nonprofit consumer advocacy, was urging Congress to adopt a Homeowners' Bill of Rights that includes financial, legal, and disclosure reforms.

I often took the initiative to suggest improvements to Dell's products, including features, design, messaging, and branding. Here I made an example of Apple, which has a consistent design language across products that reinforces its brand.
Home Technology Integration: TSTC Forecast-2007Wayne Caswell
Under a consulting contract with Technology Futures, Inc. I helped write this report for the Texas State Leadership Consortium for Curriculum Development. It examines HTI trends and concludes that community and technical colleges are ideally suited to offer home technology integration training and that curriculum should be structured around local industry advisory committee recommendations and the industry approved CompTIA HTI+ certification. Students should be expected to complete this important certification upon graduation.
Big Broadband: Public Infrastructure or Private MonopoliesWayne Caswell
This paper contrasts the different incentives of incumbent ISPs, municipalities and other stakeholders, suggesting that the cost of extending fiber closer to premises is high enough to cause IPSs to cherry pick the most profitable customers, leaving others to fend for themselves. That’s where public broadband comes in, but the politics can pose obstacles for municipalities that want their own networks, so this paper also includes a section explaining the fears of various stakeholders. Incumbent phone companies, for example, fear competition from VoIP alternatives and are using their deep pockets and powerful lobbyists to delay competition as long as they can.
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.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

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.

Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:

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
