Talk I delivered April 25, 2014 to the "Gathering of Titan's" event in Boston, a room full of entrepreneurial CEOs, building businesses. Pulled from my "Way of Innovation," here are the five phases the journey of any innovator/ titan/ outthinker passes through:
1. Metal - grow discontented
2. Water - create possibility
3. Wood - formation, pushing through resistance
4. Fire - breakout, passing the tipping point
5. Earth - consolidating your gains
Then you destroy your innovation and start again, as Pablo Picasso said "All creativity is at first an act of destruction."

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
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

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.

2. Don’t overdo it. Take
lighter loads.
This is Poor Form
Bend your knees and
lift with your legs
Lift things closer to
your center of gravity
(Not way out in front or
to the side)
Keep back straight and
bend just at the waist
if you do need to bend
forward.
4. DO NOT TWIST! DO NOT TWIST!
When pushing snow,
don’t have your arm
and shoulder out to
the side. Keep the
shovel centered in your
body at about the
bellybutton.
When lifting the snow,
stand on the side of
shovel and do a proper
lift.
When throwing the
snow, make sure to
rotate your hips and
not your low back to
ensure proper spinal
alignment.
Do Not Twist!
Do Not Lean Forward,
Curve Your Back, and
Throw Snow
5. Remember Good Posture Use with Caution
Always stand directly
behind the machine
with the push hand as
close to your abdomen
as possible
Never put your hands
near the rotating
apparatus while in
operation or while the
key is still in the on
position
6. If your muscles are not warmed up properly,
the likelihood of an injury increases
dramatically.
Do 5-10 minutes of light warm up exercises
before going out and shoveling.
These can include some jumping jacks, going
up and down the stairs a couple of times,
doing some body squats, or some of the core
stability exercises shown later.
7. Boots with good gripping soles
Stocking hat
Gloves
Sweatshirt
Wind Resistant Coat

8. Your core is
basically muscles
that stabilize your
abdomen.
Mainly the
Transverse
Abdominis, Rectus
Abdominis, Internal
and External
Obliques, and the
Multifidus.
9. These muscles form
a can like structure
around your
midsection that
provides support
and stability.
These muscles help
to reduce spinal
injuries.
10. Plank exercises
Side Plank exercises
Push Up Plus
Bird Dog
Stability Squats
Not Conventional
Sit-Ups or
Crunches
11. Consult with your regular physician before
performing any of the exercises showed
during the presentation.
12. Put elbows directly
under shoulders
Place feet straight
out
Lower buttocks down
until they are in a
straight line with the
rest of your body and
not sticking up in the
air

ground until in a
straight line with
body
Tighten abdominals
and keep butt
pushed forward
14. Place hands directly
under shoulders
and knees directly
under hips
Extend one leg
straight back and
extend the opposite
arm forward
15. Start by standing
up straight
Bend knees and
stick butt straight
back
Brace abdominals
and bend at the
waist, keeping the
back straight
16. Start in the same
position as the Bird
