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.

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.

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

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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!

SWBH NHS Trust social media toolkit
The purpose of this document is to assist
Trust staff and departments in using
technology to engage with their
communities.
Social media helps to reach people when,
where and how they want to receive health
messages; it improves the availability of
content and may influence satisfaction and
trust in the health messages delivered.
Likewise, tapping into personal networks
and presenting information in multiple
formats, spaces, and sources helps to make
messages more credible and effective.
The Trust currently holds an official
Facebook page, Pinterest profile, YouTube
channel and Instagram account along with
a range of Twitter handles for various
departments and staff members.
All requests to set up an official Trust
Twitter account need to come through the
communications department.

6. Is it right for you?
SWBH NHS Trust social media toolkit
Before you leap into social media it is worth
considering whether you or your department need an
independent account or if you want to utilise the
established Trust account to get your message out.
The Trust hold a Twitter account with an already
established following; it has taken time to grow to
this level and will reach more of an audience than a
newly established account.
The Trust also have a Facebook, YouTube, Instagram
and Pinterest social media account all of which are
utilised in any social media campaign.
This would also mean that communications
specialists will be on hand to help you develop the
content for the messages from the information you
supply. We have extensive knowledge and experience
in communicating with different audiences and will be
able to help get your message not only heard but
understood by the relevant target audience.
Ask yourself the questions to the right to help you
decide if an independent Twitter account is right for
you or your department.
Who is your audience? Are the people
you want to communicate with on Twitter?
Do you have enough to say? Are you
able to send out at least one Tweet a day
that will be of value/interest to your target
audience? Making a diary over a week of
what you might Tweet is often a beneficial
way of determining this.
Who will manage the Twitter account?
If this is a department account you will
have to decide who will be the lead Tweeter
who will take responsibility for replying to
interactions from the public and if anything
inappropriate is sent out from the account.
The Communications department will be
able to help you set up an account but you
must have the capacity to manage it.

7. Principles of communications and engagement
SWBH NHS Trust social media toolkit
7
Eight basic principles underpin Trust communications and engagement activities. You should follow these
principles when using social media as part of community engagement.
Two-way
You should encourage two-way
communications, listen and act on feedback
and give people the opportunity to ask
questions.
Accurate
You should always ensure that the
information you communicate is accurate
and spelling is correct.
Clear
Messages should be clear, simple and
consistent.
Open
The Trust encourage you to be open with
your messages and responses. Remember
you are an ambassador of the Trust. As
such you are expected to exercise sound
judgement and common sense.
Honest
Messages should be honest and factual,
own up to mistakes and offer appropriate
apologies.
Sensitive (empathetic)
You should always respect the views,
opinions and rights of others. Be credible
and reassuring in your responses.
Inclusive
Make an effort to include staff, patients and
local people in your messages, this will
encourage involvement.
Timely
Be as prompt as possible with replies to
interactions.
8. Trust social media engagement - examples
SWBH NHS Trust social media toolkit

Student Nurse Kelly Used Twitter to
highlight patient feedback confidentially by
ensuring no patient details were disclosed.
Dr Sarah used Twitter to share her NHS Change Day pledge
with CEO, Toby Lewis, creating the opportunity to get her
opinion heard and real change to happen.
So you have decided you want to set up a Twitter account to
showcase what you or your department do at SWBH but don’t
know what to say when you start Tweeting? The next couple of
pages highlight some Trust social media engagement
examples which could help you see what type of messages
you could be communicated.

Matron Justine Irish used Twitter to
promote a charity event held at City
Hospital, simultaneously spreading the word
and the spirit of the event by using a photo.
Sharon and Linda used Twitter to discuss a Nursing with Pride
project. Using the platform to communicate with each other
but at the same time helping to promote the Nursing with
Pride scheme and the great work of our Trust’s nursing staff.
BMEC used
Twitter to say
farewell to a
long serving
colleague. Not
only showing
a former
colleague how
much she will
be missed but
showing
SWBH NHS
Trust as a
nice place to
work.
10. Twitter tips and etiquette
SWBH NHS Trust social media toolkit
• Pay attention to what is
happening. Regularly
check your timelines
and send out messages
frequently.
• Be human, people like
to talk to people, not
robots! Be personable
and let your
personality shine
through.
• Remember to act as a
Trust ambassador.
Keep content relevant
to the Trust’s brand
image...would you be
happy for Toby Lewis
to read your
tweets/posts?
• Don’t ignore mentions.
Engage with your
audience, people like
to feel loved.
• Messages consisting
purely of capitalised
letters makes your
message come across
angry, avoid
completely.
• Find and follow
others: Who else in
the Trust is using
Twitter? Look out for
them and follow
• A great way to raise
your profile is
hashtags. Use the right
hashtags appropriately
and this will enable
people who search for
that tag to find and
follow you
• Use Twitter to engage
not broadcast
• Never use jargon and
keep complex language
to a minimum.
• Only RT/Favourite
messages you have
read and advocate. A
RT/Favourite is giving
the message your
stamp of approval.
• Ensure that your
Tweets are adding
value
10
11. Some of the usual grammar rules do not
apply when using social networking sites
however; people do prefer social media feeds
where spelling is correct.
Names
It is not always necessary when micro-
blogging to give names and titles of people in
full. For generic job titles such as, staff nurse,
you should follow the job title by the person’s
forename. When the job title only has one
owner, such as Chief Executive, it is
reasonable to just write CEO in order to allow
more characters for the message.
Numbers
Where numbers 1-9 or beyond are mentioned
they can always be written in their numerical
form to save on characters.
Ampersand
Use & when necessary to fit a message into a
social media post within the given characters.
Exceptions to the grammar rules
SWBH NHS Trust social media toolkit
Grammar
Social media language doesn’t conform to the usual rules
for English language and grammar. The messages should
be written in a more conversational manner and at times
it can be acceptable to compress some words to stay
within the 140 characters that Twitter allows. For
example acronyms are often used without explanation
unlike in traditional writing.

12. Images
SWBH NHS Trust social media toolkit
The same style guide rules apply to social
media as they do to any other content that
the Trust produces. Formal written consent
must be sought for any images you take
that will include members of the general
public (i.e. anyone that is not a staff
member of SWBH NHS Trust). A photo
consent form is available in the appendices
of this document.
Using images can help support what is
being said in your Tweet, as the old adage
goes ‘ a picture is worth a thousand words’
and you only have 140 characters.
Use photographs that are:
• Realistic – not obviously posed, real staff and
patients, not models, real trust settings
• Relevant to the item in question
• Faces prominent
• Full consent gained (when involving a member of
the public)
• All subjects are to be compliant with the Trust’s
Uniform Policy and Hand Hygiene Policy
• Staff to be wearing their name badge
• Bare below the elbows (elbows must be showing)
• No rings, wrist watches or bracelets
• Ties are tucked into shirt
• Long hair is tied back
• They are using the alcohol gel on entering wards,
before contact with patients and leaving wards
• Not sitting on beds
• High resolution – not pixelated

13. Website interaction
SWBH NHS Trust social media toolkit
13
It is important that Trust social
media accounts link back to the
Trust website to enable our
communities to find more
information about the Trust easily.
To do this all you need to do is list: https://www.swbh.nhs.uk/ as your website in your Twitter account
details.
14. Social media monitoring
SWBH NHS Trust social media toolkit
14
The Communications department monitor Trust social
media activity on a daily basis. Tweets about the
Trust are added to a daily briefing to the exec team
and then compiled into a monthly report.
This report enables the Trust to identify positive and
negative comments about different Trust services as
well as identifying what is most talked about
regarding the Trust.
Monitoring social media on a daily basis also allows
the Communications team to manage the risk of any
potentially libellous messages or comments, thus
protecting the Trust’s reputation.
15. Blogging tips
SWBH NHS Trust social media toolkit
Never heard of a blog? It’s a short form of the words ‘web log’ – a regular story or feature that appears on
the web.
Is there a project you are working on that you want to tell people about regularly? Or maybe there is
something you want to share as a one-off such as ‘a day in the life of’ blog to help young people looking into
careers in the NHS understand more about what different NHS professionals do on a day-to-day basis.
The Trust’s interactive website, www.swbhengage.com is the only place blog posts relating to Trust business
should be placed. Engage is primarily used by our Trust members who range anywhere from 11 years of age
upwards, although anything on the website can be viewed by anybody, anywhere in the world.
You should not set up a separate blog site. To get your blog published send it in to the Communications
department, preferably with a photo. The team will then edit your post if needed, publish it online and
promote it via the Trust’s social media networks.
The title of your blog post is what will draw readers in, have fun with it. Follow that great title with a punchy
opening paragraph to keep the reader interested.
Write in short paragraphs to make your blog post easier to read.
Unlike other social media blogs do need to adhere to traditional English language and grammar rules though
should still be kept conversational in tone and style.
Most importantly, this is your blog post so don’t be afraid to be you! (Show off your personality).
For examples see blogs at www.swbhengage.com
