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.

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

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

WHAT IS ORTHOREXIA NERVOSA?
Orthorexia Nervosa has to do with our relationship to food and the first
way we experience emotional regulation from our caregivers. So, a
conscious relationship to food is one that is essential for a healthy lifestyle.
Our psychological and emotional relationship to food is a complex one and
is often connected to self-image and control, but there are many other
aspects of eating disorders such as, genetic, psychological, environmental,
social and biological influences.
When a number of risk factors combine, these factors increase the
likelihood that any one can develop a particular condition. The health
implications of Orthorexia Nervosa can be fatal, but it is a treatable
condition.

eating pattern, self-image, general health and wellbeing. By exploring your
‘belief’ system and life style our treatments at THE BALANCE will provide
you with the necessary skills and tools required to change unhealthy or
harmful eating behaviors and destructive beliefs that may have developed.
At THE BALANCE rest, relaxation, healthy nutrition and fun will be a healing
aspect of your treatment for Orthorexia Nervosa. We call this method of
treatment a ‘prescription for life’. THE BALANCE program work at teaching
you new life changing skills and techniques that help to build resilience,
enable you to take better care of yourself and develop a healthier life
pattern.
Following is an example of a weekly schedule:

MEDICAL TREATMENT
AT THE BALANCE
At THE BALANCE we offer clients a holistic approach to physical and mental
health care. The term ́holistic ́ means that our program incorporates all
aspects of a person life and recognizes that each part of us is intimately
interconnected to a ́whole ́ so in terms of health care, it recognizes that all
areas of a person’s life need attention, in order to impact on the individual.
This incorporates our model of Mind, Body and Life.
Holistic medicine (also known as physiological regulating medicine and
Biological Medicine) treats the whole person. The patient’s symptoms are
always considered to be the outward expression of an underlying
dysfunction that can be remedied by stimulating the body’s own regulatory
forces. We search for the root causes of the patient’s disease in order to
give the body a chance to heal itself. This is why we give top priority to
improving the patient’s general metabolism, together with detoxification,
purification and the latest methods of immune - stimulation, as well as
other stimulating therapies.
THE BALANCE biological medicine aims at strengthening the whole, so that
diseases and susceptibility to disease can be overcome by the patient’s own
immune system and healing process. For this reason, our doctors utilize
'suppressive' medicines only during times of emergency, and not for
chronic care management, because this type of medicine is most effective
in acute situations. We are also slower to recommend certain operations,
preferring first to apply our holistic therapy concept.
As our patient, you are making a commitment to your health. With your
cooperation and the THE BALANCE staff’s input of experience and know
how, susceptibilities can be detected, and the course of the disease
reversed. It is important to note that our doctors have conventional medical
degrees and specialized training in Biological Medicine, and in certain
cases, conventional and holistic treatments will be integrated.
6. 6
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WEAKNESS
AND THE ADRENAL GLAND
Adrenal fatigue is a collection of signs and symptoms, known as a syndrome,
that results when the adrenal glands function below the necessary level.
Most commonly associated with intense or prolonged stress, it can also
arise during or after acute or chronic infections, especially respiratory
infections such as influenza, bronchitis or pneumonia... you live with a
general sense of un-wellness, tiredness or “grey” feelings. People
experiencing adrenal fatigue often have to use coffee, colas and other
stimulants to get going in the morning and to prop themselves up during
the day.
“The adrenal glands respond to all types of stress in the same way... It is
important to know that all stresses are additive and cumulative. The
number of stresses, whether or not you recognize them as stresses, the
intensity of each stress, and the frequency with which it occurs plus the
length of time it is present, all combine to form your total stress load.”
together with this it is necessary to be aware of connections in the body
system:
The digestive and glandular systems are closely related to the autonomic
nervous system, which is also called the “abdominal brain”. It consists of
two parts, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic, which control all our
involuntary body functions and must be rhythmically balanced with one
another for our metabolism and immune systems to function properly. At
RECORE we are able to measure this balance in a unique way via tools that
assess what is known as Heart Rate Variability (HRV).
By eliminating all influencing factors (e.g. dental foci, food allergies,
mineral, vitamin and trace element deficiencies, electromagnetic stress,
disorders of the autonomic nervous system, etc. more than 80% of all
patients we treat for these basic disorders fully recover. Virtually all of our
metabolic patients significantly improve thanks to our medicines, without
having to take the drugs commonly prescribed that involve adverse side
effects. With diabetes patients, the insulin dose they need can frequently
be reduced. But especially the quality of life and overall wellbeing improve
immensely.

THE COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
UPON YOUR ARRIVAL
Quick facts
• Two days comprehensive health assessment
• Full medical check-up, clinical assessment, psychiatric assessment, extensive
laboratory tests.
• Aim: identify any physical health issues or risks and/or identify underlying reasons
for complex, often unspecific, physical or mental health symptoms.
• Detailed debriefing and report explaining all findings, treatment recommendations
and prognosis.
• Suitable for individuals who have either specific health problems and seek the best
possible solution recommendation, or for individuals who have complex symptoms
of physical or mental health problems and want to investigate what underlying
reasons could be and receive treatment recommendations.
• Suitable also for healthy individuals who want to prevent future illnesses, learn
about risk factors, impact of lifestyle choices on physical and mental health, etc.
• 100% private and confidential, one client at a time
1) Full medical checkup
• Including ECG, Chest-X-ray, abdominal sonogram, physical fitness test and breathing
volume test in order to determine his current physical and cardiovascular health.
• Basic Screening (blood): Hematology, liver values, glycaemia, blood lipids, thyroid
activity
• Review of any available medical history (provided by the client prior to the
assessment)
• Symptoms to be researched can be: high blood pressure, weight problems, post
cancer- treatment fatigue and loss of energy, chronic or acute pain symptoms,
chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, circulatory problems
such as erectile dysfunction or menopause symptoms as well as signs of ageing
such as “brain fog”, lack of concentration and forgetfulness, among many others.
2) A comprehensive psychiatric assessment
• Screening for depression, trauma, addiction, burnout etc.
• Identifying possible emotional reasons for physical symptoms (such as pain,
constipation, heart racing, etc.)
• Review of any psychotropic medication, prior psychiatric diagnoses, etc.
8. 8
3) Orthomolecular, lifestyle and nutritional assessment
• We will look at the bio-chemistry of the brain and body (neurotransmitter profiles,
stress profiles, see laboratory tests below for more details).
• Identify energy levels and functioning of the different organs, possible damage and
strategies for restoration of health.
• Specialized laboratory tests (see below).
• Food Intolerance testing: testing of allergic reaction to most frequent food allergen
(food intolerances lead to chronic emotional symptoms, sleep problems, etc.)
• Lifestyle (exercise, sleep habits, eating rhythm and meals, etc.) has a significant
impact on the emotional well-being, stress, anxiety, and cravings, as well as physical
health. A lifestyle assessment will identify risk factors and issues around lifestyle
choices.
4) The extensive specialized laboratory tests to check all
relevant medical and biochemical parameters include:
• Hormone level screen: chronic stress often brings hormones out of balance,
increases fatigue, decreases activities, libido and the immune system etc.
• Neurotransmitter screen in order to determine the current brain and emotional
functioning and deficiencies (the “Biochemistry of Happiness, Depression, Burnout”:
testing of excitatory neurotransmitters such as Adrenalin, Noradrenalin, Dopamine,
Glutamate; and testing of inhibitory neurotransmitters such as Serotonin, GABA)
• Amino acid profile (testing of all essential amino acids which are crucial to build up
enough neurotransmitters)
• Thyroid screen in order to determine metabolic functioning
• Metabolic screen to determine possible pre-diabetic conditions due to weight gain
when on medication
• Vitamin screen in order to determine Vitamin and Mineral levels which often are out
of balance when under medication and long-lasting stress
• Hair Mineral Test to determine the presence of heavy metals such as lead etc. in
order to determine the interference with neurotransmitters and mood
• Gut biology (stool)-tests to determine intestinal health and functioning: we know
today that gut health is an important contributor to brain functioning. Gut health
can be restored and supports the successful withdrawal from many psycho-
active/psychotropic medications while uptake of indispensable nutritional
supplements will be supported by intact gut health.
• Parasites testing: some parasites literally “eat up” necessary nutrients and
compromise the immune system.
• Stress Profile: evaluation of stress reaction (adrenal gland activity)
• Inflammatory parameter screen and testing stress on cell level: chronic stress and
medication intake often triggers inflammatory reactions in the body and
inflammation contributes to low mood and depression. Inflammation can be
detected in the blood and successfully treated with nutritional supplements,
targeted plant compounds and anti- oxidative vitamins.
