There is Time to Adjust. Aging as a Protective Factor for Autism by Diego Iacono in Gerontology & Geriatrics studies
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is formally diagnosed before the age of 3 that is, when the central nervous system (CNS) is not yet completely formed, but it is mature enough to generate behavioural abnormalities in some individuals when compared to an age- matched group of typically developed children [1,2]. However, ASD is not a life-threating disease and children diagnosed with ASD age at the same rate as their peers. The possible detrimental or beneficial factors associated with aging in children affected by ASD are not fully known. Surprisingly, the amount of peer-reviewed medical and scientific international literature published on the topic of aging with autism is quite modest and sporadic [3]. The scarcity of aging-ASD investigations derives from the lower level of attention, and related funding opportunities, from the major public and private funding agencies for research across the globe

Emotional intelligence-as-an-evolutive-factor-on-adult-with-adhdRosa Vera Garcia
ADHD adults exhibit deficits in emotion recognition, regulation, and expression. Emotional intelligence (EI) correlates with better life performance and is considered a skill that can be learned and developed. The aim of this study was to assess EI development as ability in ADHD adults, considering the effect of comorbid psychiatric disorders and previous diagnosis of ADHD. Method: Participants (n = 116) were distributed in four groups attending to current comorbidities and previous ADHD diagnosis, and administered the Mayer–Salovey–Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test version 2.0 to assess their EI level. Results: ADHD adults with comorbidity with no previous diagnosis had lower EI development than healthy controls and the rest of ADHD groups. In addition, ADHD severity in childhood or in adulthood did not influence the current EI level. Conclusion: EI development as a therapeutic approach could be of use in ADHD patients with comorbidities.

Abstract
In recent a post, oppositional disorder diseases has been on the rise, raising questions about the manner in which diseases is spreading especially among children. The high prevalence levels of the oppositional disorder have raised more concerns especially form the health, sectors thus developing the need to understand the disorder better. This research paper will, therefore, encompass a broad perspective of oppositional disorder disease to effectively understand how it is manifested, various ways in which it manifests itself to develop preventive strategy much earlier before the situation reaches full-blown.
Unlike the common conduct disorder where the patient is more aggressive towards people and animals, the oppositional disorder is more silent, and it takes time for it to be detected. The lifetime prevalence of the disease is estimated to be 10.2%. The disease is mostly observed in children and adolescents across the globe.
Some of the common symptoms of the disease involve a certain behavior where children’s behavior is much different compared to their peers. A patient suffering from oppositional disorder tends to have a turn in their behavior including regular loose of temper, being angry and resentful, argues with authorities without any significant reason. It is importance to note that the persistence and frequency of these behaviors should be used to differentiate between normal behavior and symptoms of the oppositional disorder. The disease causes a massive effect on patient’s mental and physical wellbeing.
The most common cause of the oppositional disorder is the genetic influence. Research has shown that parents tend to pass on expressing disorder to their children, and it may be displayed in multiple ways. The disease can be easily diagnosed basing on the extent at which the change of behavior causes distress to the family members or drastic changes in academic and social functioning. These behaviors must persist.

Background: Emotion regulation (ER) may be a critical underlying factor contributing to mental
health disorders in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Scant literature has utilised
self-reported ER in children with ASD and explored the association between mental health and
social skills. This study explored the association between self-reported ER skills, and parent/
teacher proxy reports of ER, social skills, autism severity and mental health.
Method: The pre-existing data set included a community sample of 217 students aged seven to
13-years (Mage = 9.51, SD = 1.26; 195 Male, 22 Female) with ASD. The study employed a
correlational design, whereby existing variables were explored as they occurred naturally (Hills,
2011). Children self-rated ER, while parents and teachers rated ER, social skills, and mental
health difficulties via standardised questionnaires.
Results: Multiple regression analyses were conducted separately for parent and teacher reports.
The linear combination of parent-reported emotion regulation, social skills, autism severity, and
child-reported ER accounted for 46.5 % of the variance, compared to 58.7 % for the teacher-
report analysis. Social skills appeared to be a stronger predictor of mental difficulties than
emotional regulation irrespective of source.
Conclusions: The current study suggests self-reported ER to be a significant contributor to mental
health when in isolation. However, in the context of social skills and autism severity, ER is no
longer a significant contributor in a child and adolescent community sample, in determining
mental health. This suggests, that for children aged seven to 13-years with ASD, without ID, to
reduce mental health difficulties, social skills may be the focus of intervention, with some focus
on ER ability.

Chapter 1: Introduction to the StudyIntroduction
In the recent years, there has been an increase in the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). When parents receive an educational determination of autism for their child, both parents have the potential to be asymmetrically influenced. The “opportunity cost” to families of children with autism are defined as the alternatives experiences that foregone in terms of personal, social, and economical stressors (Amendah, Grosse, Peacock, & Mandell, 2011). A child diagnosed with an ASD can exhibit behaviors or actions that are overwhelming for a parent. Children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have many exacerbated behaviors that can increase a parent’s frustration.
A notable collection of research exists that reveals that overexertion can often occur when parenting a child with an ASD (Laxman, McBride, Jeans, Dyer, Santos, Kern, Sugimura, Curtiss, & Weglarz-Ward, 2014). There are a number of studies, on parental stressors in mothers and fathers of children with ASD (Laxman et al., 2014). However, there is very little research on how parents manage the education of their child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. This qualitative study will employ the use of a set of in-depth case studies, conceptualized within the social theory of symbolic interaction, to generate a solid narrative around familial factors related to parenting a child on the Autism Spectrum (Frieden, Joffe, Cono, Richards, & Iademarco, 2014).
Today’s educators report feeling unprepared to face the demanding task of teaching children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is not unexpected that parents and other stakeholders verbalize low levels of confidence in the capabilities of special education teachers (Tincani, Cucchiarra, Thurman, Snyder, & McCarthy, 2014). Research on the state of education and educator training programs has been going on for the past three decades (Buchanan, 2012; Gujarati, 2012; Gujarati, 2012), and has consistently displayed that teachers feel unready to work with parents. Regrettably, the results of the research have not manifested in substantial improvements in the circumstances.
Discovering methods of dealing with the educational process is dire. As stated, the number of children with ASD is on the rise (Frieden, Joffe, Cono, Richards, & Iademarco, 2014), and school officials and teachers will be challenged to adequately serve this growing population. Since current research does not provide an adequate response to the issue, this study will serve to explore this essential feature. One source of expertise, and also anxiety, may be parental involvement.

Assignment Three: Purpose of the study and Research Questions
RES 9300
Recently, Autism has become a serious health concern to parents. According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2018), about one in fifty nine United States children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder with one in six children developing developmental disability ranging from mild disabilities such as speech and language impairments to serious developmental disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, and autism (CDC,2018). World Health Organization (2019) estimates that 1 in 160 children globally has autism making it one of the most prevalent diseases. Despite the disease prevalence, most population has little knowledge about the disease. Many health practitioners have proposed early care as a means to control the disease effects.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early intervention services can help improve the development of children suffering from autism. This study also aims to explore the general public awareness and perception about autism disorder.
Research Questions
(1) How should service delivery for autistic patients be improved to promote their health? (2) What impact does early intervention services have on development of children suffering from autism? (3) How can public knowledge on autism improve support and care for autistic patients? (4) What effect will early intervention have on patient’s social skills?

AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Opinion
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is formally diagnosed before
the age of 3 that is, when the central nervous system (CNS) is not yet
completely formed, but it is mature enough to generate behavioural
abnormalities in some individuals when compared to an age-
matched group of typically developed children [1,2]. However,
ASD is not a life-threating disease and children diagnosed with
ASD age at the same rate as their peers. The possible detrimental
or beneficial factors associated with aging in children affected by
ASD are not fully known. Surprisingly, the amount of peer-reviewed
medical and scientific international literature published on the
topic of aging with autism is quite modest and sporadic [3]. The
scarcity of aging-ASD investigations derives from the lower level
of attention, and related funding opportunities, from the major
public and private funding agencies for research across the globe.
This scientific and funding gap is particularly surprising when
considering two aspects: on one side, the marked increasing of
elder populations across the globe, and on the other side, the
improvement of the criteria and diagnostic tools to diagnose ASD,
which has determined indeed a real increase of the rate of children
diagnosed with ASD (https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/data.
html).
ASD is clinically characterized by a series of highly pervasive
social, cognitive and sensory-motor abnormalities that belong
in part, to the same behavioural aspects and cognitive domains
involved in either successful (e.g. absence of behavioural-cognitive
deficits in a nonagenarian or centenarian person until death) and
pathologic aging (e.g. dementia). However, by definition, ASD is
not dementia (which presupposes a previous status of healthy
cognition and consequent decay) and actually, it is not rare the
case that some ASD children can have an enhancement of specific
cognitive skills (e.g. memory) that can be scored at a higher levels
than their children-mates [4-7]. Frequently, ASD-related behavioral
and cognitive aspects become corrected or adjusted in a consistent
number of subjects during the pediatric and young adult ages,
allowing most of these people to perform different and numerous
types of skills like every other person of the same age, or in some
cases, even at a higher level of efficiency [8-10]. So, is the aging
per se a protective factor for a more successful life in ASD children
[11-14]. If so, are the same protective factors for dementia such
as higher education, a specific genotype (e.g. APOE), physical
activities, care of blood-pressure and cholesterol levels, socializing
and amusing activities, etc. protective or beneficial factors for ASD
children as well? These general considerations should prompt both
neurodevelopment and gerontology investigators to collaborate
focusing on this area of research.
In particular, longitudinal studies of ASD-children ranging
till their older age should be proposed and implemented by both
public-based and private funding organizations to encourage
interested investigators and research institutions to follow
up a consistent number of ASD subjects and use all possible
imaging, neuropsychological, neurophysiological and genetic
armamentarium currently available. Moreover, specific brain
donation programs as the final phase of an ASD-aging longitudinal
study should be proposed in order to decipher and identify the
peculiar neuro-architectonic features or lesion characteristics of
both ASD-brains and aging-ASD related changes. We are strongly
convinced that both fields of research, neuro-developmental and
gerontology science, could find mutual advantages from these
types of studies with the ultimate benefit of the ASD patients and
their families.
