Sexual counseling in adolescents aims to provide accurate education about sexuality to promote healthy behaviors. Early or risky sexual activity can lead to health and social issues like unintended pregnancy and STDs. Counseling involves helping adolescents work through adjustment issues. Strategies for effective communication include listening without judgment and explaining unfamiliar terms. Recommendations include comprehensive education from an early age, emphasizing parental communication and responsibility according to a child's development. Counseling addresses topics like relationships, anatomy, and orientations in a sensitive manner.

Quality sexual health education (SHE) provides students with the knowledge and skills to help them be healthy and avoid human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), sexually transmitted diseases (STD), and unintended pregnancy.
A SHE curriculum includes medically accurate, developmentally appropriate, and culturally relevant content and skills that target key behavioral outcomes and promote healthy sexual development.
The curriculum is age-appropriate and planned across grade levels to provide information about health risk behaviors and experiences.
Sexual health education should be consistent with scientific research and best practices; reflect the diversity of student experiences and identities; and align with school, family, and community priorities.
Following the illegal introduction of the comprehensive sexuality education in primary and secondary school curriculum, the Kenya Christian Professionals Forum would like to call on the Kenyan government, all school boards, parents association and faith based organization to pay keen attention on the content of CSE curriculum.
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

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
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
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!

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:

1. Sexual counseling in adolescents
Speaker:Dr.Manjunath Huliyappa
Chair-person:Ms Sangeetha
2.
3. Introduction
Children and adolescents need accurate and
comprehensive education about sexuality to
practice healthy sexual behavior as adults.
Early, exploitative, or risky sexual activity may
lead to health and social problems, such as
unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted
diseases, including human immunodeficiency
virus infection and acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome.
4. There is substantial increase in STD & HIV in the
past decade.
Children most likely to engage in early sexual
activity will have learning problem or low
academic attainment.
Children will also have other problems like social,
behavioral, emotional, substance abuse and
mental health problems.
5. Counselling (kown-sel-ing) - a method of
approaching psychological difficulties in
adjustment that aims to help the client work out
his own problems.
Adolescence- period of physical, emotional &
spiritual growth.
3 phases:
i)early: 8-13yrs.
ii)middle: 14-17yrs.
iii)late: 18 & above.
6. Beijing Platform for Action ,para 267 , The
International Conference on Population and
Development recognized, in paragraph 7.3 of the
Programme of Action, that
“Full attention should be given to the promotion
of mutually respectful and equitable gender
relations and particularly to meeting the
educational and service needs of adolescents to
enable them to deal in a positive and responsible
way with their sexuality,
Contd…..
7. Taking into account the :
Rights of the child to access to information,
privacy, confidentiality, respect and informed
consent,
as well as
The responsibilities, rights and duties of parents
and legal guardians to provide, in a manner
consistent with the evolving capacities of the
child, appropriate direction and guidance in the
exercise by the child of the rights recognized in
the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and in
conformity with the Convention on the Elimination
of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
8. Target group include:
1. low income families,
2. children of ethnic minority,
3. victims of phisical & sexual abuse,
4. children with families with marital discord,
5. low level parental supervision.
In 2007 GOI introduced HIV & AIDS chapter in
the school curriculum for Xth std students.
However the content of discussion does not
provide full details.
9. Adolescent Health Objectives
Identified by the Healthy People
2010 Initiative
1)Environmental factors
Reduce the rate of death from motor vehicle
crashes, increase seat belt use, and reduce the
number of adolescents who ride with drunk
drivers.
Reduce the homicide rate.
Reduce the number of adolescents who
participate
in physical fighting.
Reduce the number of students who carry
weapons to school
10. 2)Mental health
Reduce the rates of suicide and attempted
suicide.
Increase mental health treatment.
3)Physical activity
Reduce the number of adolescents who are
overweight or at risk of becoming overweight.
Increase the number of adolescents who get
adequate physical activity.
11. 4)Sexual activity
Reduce the pregnancy rate.
Reduce the incidence of HIV, Chlamydia, and
other sexually transmitted diseases.
Increase the number of adolescents who practice
abstinence.
5)Substance abuse
Reduce death and injury from alcohol-
and drug-related motor vehicle crashes.
Reduce the prevalence of drug and
tobacco use and binge-drinking
behaviors.
12. Strategies to successful
communication with adolescents
Address the patient directly and ask open ended
questions.
Listen attentively without interrupting.
Observe non-verbal communication, posture and
eye movements.
Avoid making judgment based on patient’s
appearance.
Ask an explanation for unfamiliar slang terms the
patient raises.
13. Recommendations for counseling
1)Put sexuality education into a lifelong
perspective.
Actively encourage parents to discuss sexuality
and contraception consistent with the family’s
attitudes, values, beliefs, and circumstances
beginning early in the child’s life.
Do not impose values on the family. Be aware of
the diversity of family circumstances, such as
families with samisen parents. Guide these
families or refer them to agencies or clinicians
that can help them if they report difficulties or if
you are not comfortable assisting them.
14. 2)Encourage parents to offer sexual education and
discuss
sex-related issues that are appropriate for the
child’s or adolescent’s developmental level.
Use proper terms for anatomic parts.
Discuss masturbation and other sexual
behaviors of all children, even those as young as
preschool age, openly with parents.
15. Initiate discussions about sexuality with children
at relevant opportunities, such as the birth of a
sibling or pet.
Encourage parents to answer children’s questions
fully and accurately.
Offer parents resources to assist their
communication
efforts at home.
16. 3)Provide sexuality education that respects
confidentiality
and acknowledges the individual patient’s and
family’s issues and values.
Promote communication and safety within social
relationships between partners.
Ask about special friendships and relationships
and
explore their character.
17. Complement school based sexuality education,
which typically emphasizes unintended
pregnancy, STDs, and other potential risks of sex.
When appropriate, acknowledge that sexual
activity may be pleasurable but also must be
engaged in responsibly
18. Address knowledge, questions, worries, or
misunderstandings of children and adolescents
regarding anatomy, masturbation,
menstruation,erections, nocturnal emissions (“wet
dreams”),sexual fantasies, sexual orientation, and
orgasms.
Information regarding availability and access to
confidential reproductive health services and
emergency contraception should also be
discussed with early adolescents and with
parents.
19. During these discussions, also be open and
nonjudgemental toward those with homosexual or
bisexual experiences or orientation.
Acknowledge the influence of media imagery
on sexuality as it is portrayed in music and
music videos, movies, television, print, and
Internet
content.
.
20. Obtain a comprehensive sexual history from all
adolescents, including knowledge about sexuality,
sexual practices, partners and
relationships,sexual feelings and identity, and
contraceptive practices and plans.
In discussing reasons to delay sexual activity or
use contraception, frame the suggestions in
terms of the individual’s development, language,
motivation, and history.
.
21. Be sensitive to cultural and family norms, values,
beliefs, and
attitudes, and integrate these factors into health
promotion or behavior change counseling.
Think of the potential of ask about, abuse or
coercion in relationships or sexual activity.
22. Counsel parents about sexuality.
Suggest opportunities for them to provide
guidance about
abstinence and responsible sexual behavior to
their children.
Encourage reciprocal and honest dialogue
between parents and children.
23. Counsel parents and adolescents about
circumstances that are associated with earlier
sexual activity, including early dating, excessive
unsupervised time, truancy, and alcohol use.
Ensure that adolescents have opportunities to
practice social skills, assertiveness, control, and
rejection of unwanted sexual advances
24. 4. Provide specific, confidential, culturally
sensitive,and nonjudgmental counseling about
key issues of sexuality.
i) General counseling.
counsel children and parents about normal sexual
development before the onset of sexual activity,
and encourage parent-child communication about
sexuality.
Parents should be encouraged to discuss
explicitexpectations for abstinence, for delaying
sexual activity, and for responsible expression of
one’s sexuality.
.
25. Advise children and adolescents to discontinue
high-risk sexual behavior and avoid or
discontinue coercive relationships .
Discourage alcohol and other drug use and
abuse not only for the direct benefits to the
adolescent’s health but also to prevent unwanted
sexual activity or adverse consequences of
sexual activity.
Handouts to reinforce safe sex practices and
responsible decision-making should be made
available in the office or clinic.
26. Pediatricians may directly provide this
counseling, and other members of the office
staff, such as nurses,social workers, or health
educators, may also provide counseling and
health education.
27. ii)Preventing unintended pregnancy.
Discuss methods of birth control with male and
female adolescents ideally before the onset of
sexual intercourse.
Barrier methods should always be used during
intercourse in combination with spermicide or with
hormonal contraceptives.
Providing access to contraception for adolescents
who are sexually active is an important method of
reducing pregnancy rates.
28. iii)Strategies to avoid STDs, including HIV
infection
and AIDS.
Abstinence should be promoted as the most
effective strategy for preventing HIV infection and
other STDs as well as for prevention of
pregnancy.
Adolescents who become sexually active need
additional advice
and health care services.
Adolescents should be counseled regarding the
importance of consistent use of safer sex
precautions.
29. Pediatricians should assist adolescents in
practicing communication and negotiation skills
regarding use of condoms in every sexual
encounter & should consider providing
adolescents with information
and demonstrations about how condoms should
be used
30. 5. Provide appropriate counseling or referrals
forchildren and adolescents with special issues
and concerns.
i)Gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth.
Maintain nonjudgmental attitudes and avoid a
heterosexual bias in history taking to encourage
adolescents to be open about their behaviors and
feelings.
If adolescents are certain of homosexual
or bisexual orientation, discuss
advantages and potential risks of
disclosure to family and peers, and
support families in accepting children
who identify themselves as gay, lesbian,
or bisexual.
31. ii)Children and adolescents with disabilities.
Rates of sexual activity for adolescents with
disabilities are the same as those for adolescents
without disabilities.
Children in special education may not receive
sexual education in school.
Children and youth with disabilities should be
provided developmentally appropriate sexual
education.
32. Parents may need reassurance and support in
getting sexual education for children and
adolescents with disabilities.
Discussions should be initiated with parents or
guardians of children with disabilities at a young
age to encourage selfprotection and acceptable
forms of sexual behavior.
Community resources and support groups may
also be of assistance
33. Adolescents who are homosexual should be
screened carefully for depression, risk of
suicide, and adjustment related mental health
problems.
Similar issues are important to children unsure of
their sexual orientation.
34. iii)Other children at risk.
Identify children at risk for early or coercive and
unintended sexual behaviors at an early age.
Children at increased risk include:
a) Victims of physical or sexual abuse
b) Those who have witnessed sexual violence or
physical abuse;
c) Children with precocious puberty; and
d) Children with social risk factors, such as
learning problems,drug or alcohol use, and
antisocial behavior,
35. Provide or arrange for counseling about sexuality
for these children or adolescents.
Refer to mental health services if appropriate.
36. 6. Routine gynecologic services should be provided
to female adolescents who have become
sexually
active.
Screening for cervical cancer and STDs should
be performed for sexually active females,as
recommended in Guidelines
for Health Supervision III.
37. 7. Become knowledgeable about sexuality
education offered in schools, religious institutions,
and other community agencies.
Encourage schools to begin sexual education in
the fifth or sixth grade as a component of
comprehensive school health education and to
use curricula that provide effective and balanced
approaches to puberty, abstinence,decision-
making, contraception, and STD and HIV
prevention strategies and information about
access to services.
38. As many schools do not provide any information
about contraception regardless of whether
students are sexually active or at
risk,pediatricians,should consider presenting
material at the school.
The American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists
publishes the Adolescent Sexuality Kit: Guides
for Professional Involvement. This series
addresses AIDS, date rape, contraceptive
options,and other topics that may be useful to
pediatricians
who plan to provide sexuality education.
39. Participate in community activities to monitor the
effectiveness of prevention strategies and revise
approaches to decrease the rate of untoward
outcomes.
Consider serving as a referral source for students
who need comprehensive reproductive health
services.
40. 8. Work with local public planners to develop a
comprehensive strategy to decrease the rates of
unsafe adolescent sexual behavior and adverse
outcomes.
41. Adolescent Interview Questions
Based on the HEADDSS Model

Model
Simple way to get across to the client the type of
behavior he/she is practicing & why & how he/she
can change.
This model is helpful for better understanding of
emotional behavior.
46. Rational Emotive Therapy
Helps client to realize that his/her problem is not
catastrophic, awful but has been made so by
irrational views held.
Simple A-B-C therapy.
A= activating event.
B=beliefs which helps the client to identify his/her
irrational behavior.
C= concluding event.
47. P-LI-SS-IT Model
P= Permission giving.
LI= Limited Information.
SS= specific suggestion.
IT- Intensive therapy.
