WHO statistics indicate that Over 340 million curable and many
more incurable STIs occur each year among women worldwide and that
Non-sexually-transmitted RTIs are even more common. Failure to diagnose
and treat STIs/RTIs at an early stage may result into serious complications
and consequences including infertility, fetal wastage, ectopic pregnancy,
anogenital cancer, premature delivery, as well as neonatal and infant
infections. Proper management of STIs/RTIs also reduce the maternal and
infant mortality. STIs are also known to enhance the spread of HIV infection
in communities. STIs/ RTIs also have negative socio economic impact that
include, increase cost for health service, relationship/ marriage problems
etc.
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease.
The virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person.
240 million people are chronically infected with hepatitis B every year globally.
More than 686 000 people die every year due to complications of hepatitis B, including cirrhosis and liver cancer 1.
Hepatitis B is an important occupational hazard for health workers.

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!

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.

(The State of the World’s Children 2009)
5. School health in Pakistan: History
• Dated back to 1909 in Indian subcontinent Baroda city.
• Historically, various elements of school health Programme have been delivered in Pakistan in a fragmented
manner.
• In the early 70’s, School Health Services remained a component of Health Service Delivery.
• During 1980s, some form of School Health Programme was started, with focus on health screening etc and
medical doctors were specifically appointed for this purpose at the grass root level.
• With UNICEF whole time school units opened at many places constructing toilets and water pumps in
schools, promoting Hygiene Education as well as testing water quality of about 46000 schools.
• private practitioners specially in private school provide periodical inspections but do not have follow up
services.
6. SHS Improvement in Pakistan
• Recently, School Health Programme was launched in Punjab by Punjab Health
Sector Reforms Programme (PHSRP) and National Commission for Human
Development.
Aim is
• to improve health, nutrition, and learning performance of students,
• to increase school enrolment, attendance, and
• to introduce better hygiene practices in the community.
7. • In June 2005, National Commission for Human
Development (NCHD) launched School Health Program in
17 districts of Pakistan with funding from Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation.
• The Programme covered 23,266 Primary Schools of these
districts and benefited 1.86 million students.

problems and were referred for corrective actions to the
established referral outlets.
• During the year, 53543 students found with weak eyesight
were provided free eyeglasses under the program.
• Gujrat Model of School Health Programme in Punjab,
coordinated by NCHD, has earned appreciation of
stakeholders.
8. Examples of Coordinated School Health
Programs
• Iran: Ministry of Health and Medical Education, in collaboration
with Ministry of Education and Training has launched National
Integrated School Health Screening Programme in Iran. This
Programme aims to identify children who have early signs of
health problems. During 2007- 08, screening of 3.1 million
students was completed. All services are offered free of charge.
9. • ‘CHERISH’ in Singapore: The CHERISH (Championing Efforts Resulting in
Improved School Health) Award was launched in August 2000 to give
recognition to and encourage schools to establish comprehensive health
promotion programmes for students and staff through the fostering of
good physical, social and emotional health for optimal learning.
