I wrote this during a period of my life of intense personal sadness and darkness.
I, along with so many others, suffer from PTSD.
A life changing illness and yes, it is an illness.
Though the way some people carry on one would be forgiven for thinking that it is a Contagious Disease that must only be spoken of behind closed doors.
Hopefully by sharing my words and thoughts I will in some small way bring the subject of Depression and in particular PTSD, out of the shadows and into the light of open and honest discussion.

The true face of a narcissist: Narcissistic abuse in relationshipsAngela Atkinson
"Why do I still feel like I love him?"
"She is so awful; what makes me think she's ever gonna change?"
"He abuses me constantly, but I still feel like I want to be with him."
These statements have all been made to me repeatedly by people who are involved with toxic narcissists in relationships.
So often, I hear my clients lament the loss of their narcissists - not the toxic person they currently know, but the person they thought they'd known - or the person they believed they were involved with.
This has become such a regular thing that I thought it was time to address the issue for you here.
Are you experiencing this painful part of the toxic narcissistic cycle? Are you tired of being gaslighted, tortured and generally manipulated by someone you thought loved you? Do you miss him or her even though they've destroyed your self-esteem, not to mention your life? If so, you might be experiencing cognitive dissonance due to the false image the narcissist initially presented to you - and this video can help you to begin to understand that it's REALLY not you this time. In this slideshow and in the attached video, I'll explain it all to you - very clearly and simply.
Narcissistic abuse recovery support: Let go of inferiority and take back your...Angela Atkinson
How does one develop an inferiority complex? What's the solution?
Creating an inferiority complex requires a lot of effort. It's not easy to take a couple of perceived shortcomings and convince yourself that you're totally incapable and ineffective. But even though it might take effort and energy to develop an inferiority complex, as humans, we're quite capable of limiting ourselves in this way.
The good news is that you can reverse this process! But how? How do you overcome such an ingrained tendency to put yourself down?
Use these strategies to conquer your inferiority complex and feel your confidence soar! Today, you're going to take back your power! Learn more and get free narcissism and recovery support information, tools and support at http://queenbeeing.com.
For my sister, thank you for all you've done for me in the years we've known each other. I hope that this way for me to give back to you is helpful and useful in your own life.

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.

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

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

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

Some poetry, some prose.
That is just the way it goes.
Words of love,
Sorrow, loss and pain.
Do not read them with any disdain.
3. I have a little something I would like to share with
you.
Don't worry my friends, it's not contagious, although the way
some people carry on, one would be forgiven for thinking that
it is a terrible communicable disease.
Never in my wildest imagining did I, for one moment, think
that I would ever suffer from PTSD.
Nope, that happened to weaker men and women, not to the
likes of me.
Or so I thought. Now I see that it more often than not happens
to those who are amongst the strongest mentally.
In my particular case, this was brought about by the callous
and deliberate actions of a number of soulless individuals who
hold Senior Managementpositions in the Victorian State

Dame Phyllis Frost Centre. A Maximum Security, Women's
Correctional Facility in Deer Park Victoria Australia.
These individuals,
General Manager,
Governors’,
Chiefs
Senior Prison Officers
Prison Officers
All conspired to frame me for an act that I did not commit.
They openly lied, fabricated dispositions and made scandalous
claims and accusationsof a most heinousnature.
Their intention was to damage my reputation, discredit me and
destroy my career. This orchestrated and scurrilous attack was
5. made not only on my Reputation but more importantly on my
Integrity, the very cornerstone of my belief system.
I was most vulnerable in that area, for I had no training in how
to countertheir attack. As a result my world began to slowly
and inexorably crumble around me
.
Bastards and Dogs, may they rot in Hell, every last one of
them. I had my day in Court and they were found wanting.
Whilst a moral victory was mine...it was not enough.
The meltdown that followed, cost me dearly. I lost a career, my
Lover, my livelihood, my will to live, but more importantly my
eldest Daughter.
6. During that period of my life and in the years since, I have
fought my Demons on my own. My Daughterdoes not seem to
understand just how much that took out of me and how close to
the edge I really was and still am.
On the plus side, I did find out who my true friends were and
there were only a few, the others deserted me like rats desert a
sinking ship. Some have since come crawling back seeking to
be my friend again... I tell them plainly that I have no time for
Rats and their entreaties are wasted on my ears.
When PTSD hits, it hits you hard, right between the eyes and
the result of that hit is life altering, for there is no recovery, no
going back to the person you were before.
7. All one can hope for is to learn to live with it and strive to
remain as stable as possible. For it is akin to having a dark
cloud over you day in, day out.
Every day is a struggle and it is difficult at times just to do the
very basic routine day to day things.
There are those days when I am somewhat able to cope and
then there are the other days, which I call "Black Dog" days,
when an overwhelming sadness closes in around me and my
world descends into a place of darkness and pain.
It is in this place of darkness, a place that I know so very well,
that I face my Demons. There is no fear for me here, though
that has not always been the case. Now there is only a sense of
anticipation as I sit with Death at my board, smiling to myself
as I challenge herto release me from the Demons that hauntmy
mind.
8. Whilst it is a release that I both want and seek, I have thus far
lacked the strength and courage to take my own life and I feel
no shame at having stared Death in the face only to choose life
instead.
Oftentimes when I am at my lowest ebb, some of my friends
mistakenly think that I am simply wallowing in self pity and
that I have jumped aboard the so called "Pity Train".
They are so far from the truth, for it is apparent that they
understand nothing of Depression, simply labeling it as self
pity and something that happens to others, never to them.
I do not hold their viewpoints against them, for it is a truth
that in order to understand Depression and in particular PTSD
and the impact they have on the sufferer, their family and
friends, one must have experienced it first hand,there is no
9. other way.
As for me, each day I now countas a blessing for I have no
tomorrow. I dream of death, long for Death and await her
coming.
There is no fear, only a calmness and innerpeace in the
knowledge that my pain and internal torment will soon enough
come to pass.
Yes, I have no doubt that one day the "Black Dog" will win and
I will take my own life.
I no longer take any antidepressant medication or mood
stabilizers, as I do not want to spend my days drugged to the
eyeballs. I have chosen instead to fight, for as long as I am able,
the PTSD and depression using my own innerstrength.
It is a tough and hard road to travel and one on which I will,
one day, stumble, fall and never get back up.
10. Each passing day just gets harder and harder to cope with as I
grow weary of this life, of the masks I wear in front of my
family and friends.
It is harder to live, easier to die.
In my nightly dance with her, Death's overtures are becoming
more seductive, more inviting than anything life has on the
table.
Perhaps one day soon, I will succumb to her call.
So it is today, like yesterday, that my Dance with Death will
continue unabated.
For today I awoke as if from a Terrible Dream for Death had once
again walked the corridors of my mind.
11. I wrote this during a period of my life of intense personal
sadness and darkness.
I, along with so many others, suffer from PTSD. A life
changing illness and yes, it is an illness. Though the way some
people carry on one would be forgiven for thinking that it is a
Contagious Disease that must only be spoken of behind closed
doors. Hopefully by sharing my words and thoughtsI will in
some small way bring the subject of Depression and in
particular PTSD, out of the shadows and into the light of open
and honest discussion.
