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.

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.

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
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

6. The Torch Of Life: The Legacy
June 13 2000 -The Torch Of Life Appears
The Torch Of Life mysteriously arrives at Step By Step’s doorstep of their office at 170 Lauder Ave in Toronto.
June 20 2000 – 2002 Canada 769 Day Walk
George Marcello, began a 12,000 km walk across Canada, thanking his anonymous donor family, carrying this beautiful Torch.
On September 5, 2001, George was invited to bring the Torch to Vatican City, where Pope John Paul ll blessed it. The Pope
proclaimed that Organ & Tissue donations was a genuine act of love and wisely encouraged the kids to carry the Torch. He said
the youth would inspire the World. Afterwards thousands turned to millions of Torch Bearers and the legacy grew.
January 2004 – Kristopher’s Wish
George passed the Torch to 13 year old Kristopher Knowles in his hometown of Sarnia. Kris was in need of a liver transplant
and carried the Torch across Canada. Like a modern day pied piper, Kris recruited hundreds of thousands of kids as he talked to
them about his wish, to help save over 4,000 people waiting for organs and not worrying about his own life.
October 1 2007-2008 SOS4000 Canada Student Torch Relay
Kristopher passed the Torch to his army of students, who relayed the Torch throughout Canada these amazing kids set an
example for other countries to follow.
October 23 2009-2010 SOSTHEAMERICAS USA / Canada Student Torch Relay
This time the Torch began in Alaska and went through Canada, entering the USA via Maine. The Torch went through 13 States
before finishing in Washington DC at the Pope John Paul ll Cultural Center on April 14 2010.
October 31 2011 – Donor Dads in memory of Nicholas & Ahmed sparks Ontario Tour
2 famous Donor Dads, were brought to Toronto, to carry the Torch in memory of their sons Nicholas & Ahmed. In 1994, Reg
Green lost his 7 year old son while vacationing in Italy, due to a botched robbery . He donated Nicholas’s organs to 7 Italian
kids. Ismael Khatib lost his 11 year old boy In Jenin Palestine, due to mistaken shot by an Israeli Soldier. He donated Ahmed’s
organs to 5 Israeli kids. Ahmed’s brother Khaled will join Kristopher Knowles throughout the entire 110 day Ontario Tour. They
will urge The students of Ontario to lead way to inspire the public to register as organ donors. Hopefully one day nobody
needs to die waiting for an organ/tissue transplant.

32. To our Sponsors &Supporters:
Since the inception of Step By Step in 1996, the founder & the inspiration, George Marcello has literally
devoted every minute of his life trying to help people that are in desperate need of organ & tissue
donations. As it has been said, he didn’t know how to sing or dance, and after receiving his life saving
liver transplant in 1995, he wanted to thank his anonymous donor by walking across Canada. As a result
of 7 more campaigns & 50 million steps later, George has guided Step By Step to receive international
attention. His passion & actions speak louder than words. Step By Step & the Torch Of Life have become
a brand. As a result of 15 years, of boots on the ground activities, Step By Step has amassed supporters
worldwide. The famous Torch Of Life has become our cherished symbol and the kids that carry it have
become our ambassadors. After blessing the Torch, Pope John Paul 2, and many other distinguished
people have all echoed that our children can change the world. In our latest campaign, Register Now Ontario
Student Torch Relay, we are determined to reach an ambitious goal; register over a million Ontarians.
Many times over the years, George has set his sights high. When he said he was going to convince
Premier Harris to allocate over million dollars, he did it. When he said he was going to walk across
Canada and meet the Pope, he did it. When he said, he was going to bring a 13 year old boy who
needed a liver transplant across Canada, he did it. When he said he was going to organize thousands
of kids to relay the Torch from Canada To USA he did it. When he said he was going to bring 2 of
the world’s most famous organ dads to Toronto, he did it. So now he says that Step By Step’s
army of kids in Ontario will inspire the Province to register over a million people, they will do it. He
always worked with barely no budget, and completed things. Lets make it a little more comfortable
for him this time around. Join us by contributing at the beginning. We all know George deserves it.
Lets get behind him and let him do what he does best organize & save lives.
