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!

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.

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. Abnormality (behavior)
• in the sense of something
deviating from the normal or
differing from the typical
(such as an aberration), is a
subjectively defined
behavioral characteristic,
assigned to those with rare or
dysfunctional conditions.
3. Several conventional criteria
• One criterion for "abnormality" that may
appear to apply in the case of abnormal
behavior is statistical infrequency. This has an
obvious flaw — the extremely intelligent, are
just as abnormal as their opposites.
Therefore, individual abnormal behaviors are
considered to be statistically unusual as well
as undesirable
• A more discerning criterion is distress. A person
who is displaying a great deal of depression,
anxiety, unhappiness, etc. would be thought of as
exhibiting abnormal behavior because their own
behavior distresses them.
4. • Another criterion is morality. This presents
many difficulties, because it would be
impossible to agree on a single set of morals
for the purposes of diagnosis.
• One criterion commonly referenced is
maladaptivity. If a person is behaving in ways
counter-productive to their own well-being, it
is considered maladaptive.
• Another criterion that has been suggested is
that abnormal behavior violates the standards
of society. When people do not follow the
conventional social and moral rules of their
society, the behavior is considered abnormal.
5. • Another element of abnormality is that
abnormal behavior will cause social discomfort
to those who witness such behavior.
6. • Statistical Infrequency: In this definition of
abnormality behaviors which are seen as
statistically rare are said to be abnormal. For
instance, one may say that an individual of above
or below average IQ is abnormal. This
definition, however, fails to recognize the
desirability of the particular incidence. This
definition also implies that the presence of
abnormal behavior in people should be rare or
statistically unusual, which is not the case.
Instead, any specific abnormal behavior may be
unusual, but it is not unusual for people to
exhibit some form of prolonged abnormal
behavior at some point in their lives
7. • Deviation from Social Norms defines
the departure or deviation of an
individual, from society's unwritten
rules (norms). For example if one was
to witness a man jumping around, nude,
on the streets, the man would be
perceived as abnormal, as he has
broken society's norms about wearing
clothing, not to mention one's self
dignity
8. • FF: The Failure to Function Adequately
definition of abnormality defines whether or
not a behavior is abnormal if it is counter-
productive to the individual. The main problem
with this definition however is that
psychologists cannot agree on the boundaries
that define what is 'functioning' and what is
'adequately', as some behaviors that can cause
'failure to function' are not seen as bad i.e.
firemen risking their lives to save people in a
blazing fire.
9. DIM: Deviation from Ideal Mental health
defines abnormality by determining if the
behavior the individual is displaying is
affecting their mental well-being. As with the
Failure to Function definition, the boundaries
that stipulate what 'ideal mental health' is
are not properly defined, and the bigger
problem with the definition is that all
individuals will at some point in their life
deviate from ideal mental health, but it does
not mean they are abnormal; i.e., someone who
has lost a relative will be distressed, but
would not be defined as abnormal for showing
that particular behavior.
10. • A common approach to defining
abnormality is a Multi-Criteria
approach, where all definitions of
abnormality are used to determine
whether an individual’s behavior is
abnormal. For example, if an individual
is engaging in a particular behavior
that is preventing them from
‘functioning’ breaks a social norm and
is statistically infrequent, then
psychologists would be prepared to
define this individual's behavior as
abnormal.
11. Normality (behavior)
• In behavior, normal refers to a
lack of significant deviation from
the average. The phrase "not
normal" is often applied in a
negative sense (asserting that
someone or some situation is
improper, sick, etc.) Abnormality
varies greatly in how pleasant or
unpleasant this is for other
people.
12. • The Oxford English Dictionary defines
"normal" as 'conforming to a standard'.
Another possible definition is that "a
normal" is someone who conforms to the
predominant behavior in a society. This
can be for any number of reasons such
as simple imitative behavior, deliberate
or inconsistent acceptance of society's
standards, fear of humiliation or
rejection etc.
13. Adjustment Problems
• Maladjustment may shortly be described as
‘inability to react successfully and
satisfactorily to the demands of one’s
environment’. It encompasses a wide range
of physical, psychological and social
conditions, but most often implies an
individual’s failure to meet social or cultural
expectations. In psychology, the term
generally refers to unsatisfactory behaviour
patterns that cause anxiety and require
psychotherapy.
14. The term maladjustment is most
simply defined as
1. Faulty or inadequate
adjustment.
2. Inability to adjust to the
demands of interpersonal
relationships and stresses of
daily living.
15. Let us try to see what ‘adjustment’ is.
• In the very first instance, it should be seen as
an honourable psychological term untainted by
the contemporary derogatory colouring that
attributes compromise and opportunism. It is a
positive capacity to adapt to one’s
circumstances and needs. This presupposes
three things:
• a sensitive appreciation of reality
• some accommodation to environmental
pressures
• continuing efforts at modifying the
environment to suit one’s needs
16. Symptoms of maladjustment
• Louis Kaplan depended on hospital and clinic
data, military service data and surveys
conducted among the public for his studies
on maladjustment. In addition to these data
he lists other symptoms manifest in the
society as indications of maladjustment
prevalent there. These are: alcoholism,
divorce and family disruption, suicide, crime,
use of drugs, job f t ailures, cost of mental
illness.
17. He classifies behavioural symptoms that
reflect a deviation from normal patterns
of response and adjustment as follows:
• reality distortions
• mental aberrations
• affect distortions
• motor reactions
• personality disorganization
• somatic reactions
18. • The biomedical model of mental health,
has been around for centuries as the
predominant model used by some
physiciatrists in the diagnosis of
mental disorders. The term is used by
practitioners of of biological psychiatry
, in contrast to the
biopsychosocial model, which
incorporates psychological and social
factors.
19. • The biopsychosocial model
(abbreviated "BPS") is a general
model or approach that posits that
biological, psychological (which
entails thoughts, emotions, and
behaviors), and social factors, all play
a significant role in human
functioning in the context of disease
or illness
20. • Indeed, health is best understood in terms
of a combination of biological,
psychological, and social factors rather
than purely in biological terms. This is in
contrast to the traditional,
biomedical model of medicine that
suggests every disease process can be
explained in terms of an underlying
deviation from normal function such as a
pathogen, genetic or
developmental abnormality, or injury.
21. • The concept is used in fields such as
medicine, nursing, health psychology and
sociology, and particularly in more
specialist fields such as psychiatry,
health psychology, chiropractic,
clinical social work, and clinical psychology.
22. Biomedical model Biopsychosocial model
Human beings should be seen as complex systems and illness
is caused by a multitude of factors and not by a single causal
factor. Health psychology therefore tends to move away from a
simple linear model of health and claims that illness can be
caused by combination of biological (e.g. a virus),
psychological (e.g. behaviours, beliefs) and social (e.g.
