The document discusses suicide prevention in occupational health and colleges. It defines suicide and provides historical context in India where suicide was sometimes glorified but is now generally condemned. Statistics show suicide is a leading cause of death globally and in India. Risk factors include depression, impulsiveness, academic pressure, lack of support, and financial issues. Prevention requires a multi-sectoral approach including health, education, community, and policy efforts like restricting access to lethal means, training to identify at-risk individuals, and promoting help-seeking behaviors.

Accommodating Cultural Diversity at the Community Level:
Older Adults in Different Ethnic and Cultural Contexts
This section describes intergroup and intragroup differences in how older adults’ life experiences will shape their responses in seeking health care. Some older adults experienced living through the Depression, seeing the invention of television, computers, and video teleconferences, migrating to find employment, and fighting in an international conflict. European Americans in their 90s may have been young adults fleeing Poland or Germany before World War II. Older Southeast Asian adults in their 60s may have fled Cambodia, Laos, or Vietnam when conflict and political unrest enclosed around them. Political refugees from countries in East Africa and immigrants from Eastern bloc nations who have lived through civil wars and political revolution could well have depleted their coping mechanisms as younger adults fleeing their homeland. As a newer wave of older adult immigrants, they may experience adjustment problems that warrant care in the health and mental health care system, but at the same time they may distrust the system or have no previous experience in seeking health care. Nurses who are providing care to clients whose background differs from their own are usually sensitive to assessing the client’s culture. Individuals who have immigrated from the same country or region will differ in their needs and in the ways that their cultural background influences their health- and illness-related actions. These differences are based on a number of factors:
• Regional or religious identity
• Situation in their homeland that may have prompted them to emigrate
• Length of time they have spent in the United States including degree of acculturation,
• Proximity to immediate family or extended family members, • Network of friends and social support from their homeland, and/or
• Link with ethnic, social, and health-related institutions.
In the total Hispanic American population, persons of Mexican descent are most numerous (54%), Cubans represent 14.

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
Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
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!
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.
2. Definition
the action of killing oneself intentionally.
Latin word -------suicidium------"to kill oneself"
3. History-India
The story of suicide is probably as old as that of man
himself. Through the ages, suicide has variously been
glorified, romanticized, bemoaned, and even
condemned. Be it the tragic Greek heroes Aegeus,
Lycurgus, Cato, Socrates, Zeno, Domesthenes or
Seneca; or the Roman figures Brutus, Cassius, Mark
Anthony or the Egyptian princess, Cleopatra; or
Samson, Saul, Abimelech and Achitophel of the Old
Testament; or the suicide bombers in the present
world, the universality of suicide transcends religion
and culture
4. History-India
An understanding of suicide in the Indian context calls for an
appreciation of the literary, religious, and cultural ethos of the
subcontinent because tradition has rarely permeated the lives of
people for as long as it has in India. Ancient Indian texts contain
stories of valor in which suicide as a means to avoid shame and
disgrace was glorified. Suicide has been mentioned in the great
epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. When Lord Sri Ram died,
there was an epidemic of suicide in his kingdom, Ayodhya. The
sage Dadhichi sacrificed his life so that the Gods may use his
bones in the war against the demons. The Bhagavad Gita
condemns suicide for selfish reasons and posits that such a death
cannot have “shraddha’, the all-important last rites. Brahmanical
view had held that those who attempt suicide should fast for a
stipulated period. Upanishads, the Holy Scriptures, condemn
suicide and state that ‘he who takes his own life will enter the
sunless areas covered by impenetrable darkness after death’.
5. History-India
However, the Vedas permit suicide for religious
reasons and consider that the best sacrifice was that of
one's own life. Suicide by starvation, also known as
‘sallekhana’, was linked to the attainment of ‘moksha’
(liberation from the cycle of life and death), and is still
practiced to this day. Sati, where a woman immolated
herself on the pyre of her husband rather than live the
life of a widow and Jahuar (Johar), in which Rajput
women killed themselves to avoid humiliation at the
hands of the invading Muslim armies, were practiced
until as recently as the early half of the 20th century;
stray cases continue to be reported*
6. Epidemiology
Approximately 0.5% to 1.8% of people die by suicide
globally
2nd leading cause of death
Mortality rate ---of 11.8 per 100,000 persons per year
Rates of suicide have increased by 70% from the 1960s
to 2014
Increase of suicidal is primarily in developing country
For every suicide that results in death there are
between 10 and 40 attempted suicides
7. Epidemiology-India
3rd leading cause of death among young and Adolescents
Rates per 100,000 -------India 23.2
The countries with the greatest absolute numbers of
suicides are China and India accounting for over half the
total
male ratio in the rate of suicide is higher
Mental disorders (particularly depression and alcohol use
disorders) are a major risk factor for suicide in Europe and
North America; however, in Asian countries impulsiveness
plays an important role. Suicide is complex with
psychological, social, biological, cultural and
environmental factors involved.
8. Statistics About College Depression
second leading cause of death in college students ages 20-24.
Teens diagnosed with depression are five times more likely to
attempt suicide than adults.
Over two-thirds of young people do not talk about or seek help
for mental health problems.
64 percent of Indian college students reported feeling symptoms
of depression.
differences in opinion, persistent pecking, high expectations and
lack of inter-connectivity may be the major reasons for teens
opting for the extreme step.
Depression is the No 1 occupational disease of the 21st century
says WHO
9. causes
The pressure to do well in school-----pressure is not from
teachers but from parents too
Not getting admission in college of their choice
academic pressure
Lack of social support
Depression
Family background ------chaotic family environment
difficulty in a romantic relationship
students in India are unaware of how to deal with stress
and it's ill-effects
Impusiveness
10. Other causes
Financial crunch
Lack of opportunity to talk and vent out frustrations
with parents
Fear of being put down and ridiculed by them, and
lack of family support
Parental disharmony
Constant comparison to other siblings who are doing
well
11. Challenges and obstacles
the prevention of suicide has not been adequately
addressed due to basically a lack of awareness of suicide as
a major problem and the taboo in many societies to discuss
openly about it.
In fact, only a few countries have included prevention of
suicide among their priorities.
Reliability of suicide certification and reporting is an issue
in great need of improvement.
It is clear that suicide prevention requires intervention also
from outside the health sector and calls for an innovative,
comprehensive multi-sectoral approach, including both
health and non-health sectors, e.g. education, labour,
police, justice, religion, law, politics, the media.
12. Symptoms
Drastic changes in mood or behavior.
Extreme and unusual anger.
Sudden withdrawal from society.
Complete apathy towards others or things that might have concerned the person earlier.
Changes in eating or sleeping habits.
Illnesses that occur without cause and which cannot be explained.
Extreme loss of energy and fatigue.
Changes in social habits – either over-socializing or backing off from all socializing.
Inappropriate behavior.
Loss of pleasure in simple things.
Loss of interest in life.
Risk-taking.
Extreme depression, accompanied by deep sadness and a lot of crying.
Preoccupation with death. Talk of suicide, even in jest. Sudden abuse of alcohol or drugs.
13. Risk Factors
There are some people who are more at risk of committing suicide than
others. These categories of people are as follows:
Males are more at risk of suicide than females.
Those younger than 19 years of age and those older than 45 years of age.
People who are clinically depressed.
Anyone who has earlier attempted to commit suicide, especially if the
suicide plan was organized.
People who are divorced, separated or widowed. This could also apply
to people who have been in a very close relationship which was broken.
People who have received any kind of mental health service.
People with little or no support socially.
Those who abuse drugs or alcohol.
Those who have lost the ability to think rationally
People with chronic medical illnesses.
14. Strategies
Promote awareness that suicide is a public health problem that is preventable
Develop broad-based support for suicide prevention
Develop and implement strategies to reduce the stigma associated with being a
consumer of mental health, substance abuse and suicide prevention services
Develop and implement community-based suicide prevention programs
Promote efforts to reduce access to lethal means and methods of self-harm
Implement training for recognition of at-risk behavior and delivery of effective
treatment
Develop and promote effective clinical and professional practices
Increase access to and community linkages with mental health and substance
abuse services
Improve reporting and portrayals of suicidal behavior, mental illness and
substance abuse in the entertainment and news media
Promote and support research on suicide and suicide prevention
Improve and expand surveillance systems
15. Specific strategies
Selection and training of volunteer citizen groups offering confidential
referral services.
Promoting mental resilience through optimism and connectedness.
Education about suicide, including risk factors, warning signs and the
availability of help.
Increasing the proficiency of health and welfare services at responding
to people in need. This includes better training for health professionals
and employing crisis counseling organization.
Reducing domestic violence and substance abuse are long-term
strategies to reduce many mental health problems.
Reducing access to convenient means of suicide (e.g. toxic substances,
handguns). Reducing the quantity of dosages supplied in packages of
non-prescription medicines e.g. aspirin. Interventions targeted at high
risk groups.
16. Suicide prevention
Suicide prevention is an umbrella term for the collective efforts
of local citizen organizations, mental health practitioners and
related professionals to reduce the incidence of suicide.
Beyond just direct interevention to stop an impending suicide,
methods also involve
a) treating the psychological and psychophysiological symptoms
of depression,
b) improving the coping strategies of persons who would
otherwise seriously consider suicide,
c) reducing the prevalence of conditions believed to constitute
risk factors for suicide, and
d) giving people hope for a better life after current problems are
resolved.
17. Suicide Prevention and Intervention
Implement a school/college-based prevention
program
Implement a gate keeping program.
Create a comprehensive school/college crisis plan.
Be prepared to engage in postvention.
18. Suicide Prevention and Intervention
Each school / district have a plan for how it will handle
emotional and behavioral distress, including suicidal
thinking, behavior, and threats of violence.
The attached draft, model Plan will help districts and
schools develop their own plans to respond quickly
and effectively in a crisis.
Understands dimensions and indicators of health
(emotional, physical, intellectual, and social).
Appropriately responding to a tragedy that may put
students at risk is an essential part of any crisis or
suicide prevention plan.
19. Multi-sectoral Partnership
Media
Parents
Teachers
Social worker
Ngo
Government
Health Professionals
Use of Alternative medicine
Local community centers
Spiritual and religious leaders.Police etc
20. Why MULTI-SECTORAL COLLABORATION
