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.
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!

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

2. Purposes of research
Identification : what is the
phenomena?
Description: What dimensions,
importance?
Exploration: nature, trend, process
Explanation: How, why, how did?
Prediction: what will happen?
Control: Can it be?, How to?
5. Design Characteristics
• Maximizes control over factors to
increase validity of the findings.
• Guides the researcher in planning
& implementing a study.
6. Approach : According to Oxford
dictionary is a path that leads to a
place.
Design : A general arrangements of
parts to make a whole.
7. Types of research designs
The main different types of research
designs can be classified by its
purpose, its process and its outcome.
8. Types based on purpose
Explorative
Descriptive
Analytical
Predictive
10. Types based on outcome
Applied
Basic / Pure
Action
11. Quantitative
It is categorized with descriptive research,
Correlational research, causal-comparative
research and experimental research
It collects numerical data in order to explain,
predict and or control phenomena of interest;
Data analysis is mainly statistical.
12. Qualitative
It includes historical research and qualitative
research;
It collects narrative data to gain insights into
phenomena of interest;
Data analysis includes the coding of the data
and production of a verbal synthesis.
13. Descriptive
Descriptive: it involves collecting
data in order to test hypotheses or
answer questions concerning the
current status of the subjects of the
study.
It determines and reports the way
things are.
14. Correlational
Correlational research attempts to
determine whether and to what degree a
relationship exists between two or more
quantifiable variables.
However, it never establishes a cause-effect
relationship.
The relationship is expressed by correlation
coefficient, which is a number between .00
and 1.00
16. Experimental
Experimental research establishes the
cause-effect relationship and does the
comparison, but the cause is
manipulated.
The cause, independent variable
makes the difference. The effect,
dependent variable is dependent on
the independent variable.
18. Main Types of Qualitative
Research
Case study
Attempts to shed light on a
phenomena by studying in depth a
single case example of the
phenomena. The case can be an
individual person, an event, a group,
or an institution.
19. Grounded theory
Theory is developed inductively from a
corpus of data acquired by a
participant-observer.
It is used to formulate, test & refine a
theory about a particular phenomena.
Eg., grieving phenomena
20. Phenomenology
Phenomenology
Describes the structures of experience
as they present themselves to
consciousness, without recourse to
theory, deduction, or assumptions
from other disciplines. Eg., chronic
pain.
21. Ethnography
Focuses on the sociology of meaning
through close field observation of
socio cultural phenomena. Typically,
the ethnographer focuses on a
community. Mainly done by
anthropologists to investigate culture
22. Historical
Historical
Systematic collection and objective
evaluation of data related to past
occurrences in order to test
hypotheses concerning causes, effects,
or trends of these events that may
help to explain present events and
anticipate future events. (Gay, 1996)
24. Assumptions
Assumptions: Ideas that are
universally accepted as true. They can
also come from theory & previous
research. Sometimes they may not be
scientifically tested. But based on
logic.
Eg., Life is stressful.
Health is a priority for most people.
26. Hypothesis
A hypothesis is a statement that
expresses the probable relationship
between variables.
There are two types of hypotheses:
descriptive and directional.
The research question used in descriptive
studies is called Descriptive Hypothesis.
Descriptive hypotheses ask a specific
question regarding some phenomenon.
27. For example, we might want to study this
research question: what are the social and
economic characteristics of patients who
have high blood pressure?
A descriptive hypotheses that would test a
part of the above research question is: what
is the distribution of hypertensive patients
by income level?
28. Descriptive hypotheses are always phrased
in the form of a question regarding some
aspect of the research question.
Usually a descriptive hypothesis does not
include an active independent variable.
When we use an independent variable, a
directional hypothesis is usually needed.
29. Directional hypotheses
Directional hypotheses are never
phrased as a question, but always as a
statement.
Directional hypotheses always express
the effect of an independent on a
dependent variable.
30. Examples
Descriptive hypothesis : Does having social
support decrease depression in breast
cancer patients?
Directional Hypothesis: Breast cancer
patients with social support will be less
depressed than those without social
support.
Null /Ho : There is no difference in
depression scores between breast cancer
patients with and without social support
32. Uses of Hypothesis
They serve as a link between theory
and real world situations.
They provide an effective mechanism
for extending knowledge.
They offer overall direction for the
investigation.
34. What is a sample?
A sample is a finite part of a statistical
population whose properties are
studied to gain information about the
whole (Webster, 1985).
35. What is a population?
A population is a group of individuals’
persons, objects, or items from which
samples are taken for measurement
for example a population of presidents
or professors, books or students.
36. Types of population
Target population : is the set of individuals
or objects for which the researcher wishes
to generalize findings.
The accessible population: is the portion of
the target population that is available to
researcher.
Sample: it is the subset of population drawn
from the accessible population.
37. Purposes of sampling
To draw conclusions by directly observing
only a portion (or sample) of the population.
It is cheaper to observe a part rather than
the whole
Taking a sample requires fewer resources
than a census
A sample may provide you with needed
information quickly
38.
39. Sampling Methods
Probability sampling: samples drawn in
random manner so that every member
has an equal chance of being selected.
Non probability sampling: samples
drawn in a non random manner.
41. A simple random sample
A simple random sample is obtained
by choosing elementary units in such a
way that each unit in the population
has an equal chance of being selected.
A simple random sample is free from
sampling bias.
42. A systematic random sample
A systematic random sample is
obtained by selecting one unit on a
random basis and choosing additional
elementary units at evenly spaced
intervals until the desired number of
units is obtained.
43.
44. A stratified sample
A stratified sample is obtained by
independently selecting a separate
simple random sample from each
population stratum.
A population can be divided into
different groups may be based on
some characteristic or variable like
income or education.
45.
46. A cluster sample
A cluster sample is obtained by
selecting clusters from the population
on the basis of simple random
sampling.
The sample comprises a census of
each random cluster selected.
For example, a cluster may be some
thing like a village or a school, a state.
47. Methods of non probability
sampling
Convenience sampling
Quota
Purposive
Snow ball
48. Convenience sampling
It is useful in getting general ideas
about the phenomenon of interest.
For example you decide you will
interview the first ten people you meet
tomorrow morning.
It saves time, money and effort.
has the lowest credibility and yields
information-poor cases.
49. Quota Sampling
In quota sampling, you select people
non randomly according to some fixed
quota.
There are two types of quota
sampling: proportional and non
proportional
50. Purposive Sampling
In purposive sampling, we sample with a
purpose in mind.
We usually would have one or more specific
predefined groups we are seeking.
For instance, have you ever run into people
in a mall or on the street who are carrying a
clipboard and who are stopping various
people and asking if they could interview
them?
51. Snowball or chain sampling
This particular one identifies, who
know interview subjects.
This is commonly used in studies that
may be looking at issues like the
homeless households.
What you do is to get hold of one and
he/she will tell you where the others
are or can be found.
