Preparation, commitment, and consistency are key to successful toilet training. Create a baseline chart and picture schedule of the routine. Choose a consistent word for using the bathroom. Reward dryness and going to the bathroom, but not accidents. Gradually increase time between bathroom trips and work on independence with prompts. Bowel training requires regularity and relaxation.
Each day, billions of diapers are disposed. And with along with that, billions of dollars are spent on diapers.
Why not introduce our child to potty-training where it would not only save us lots of money, but also helps the personal development of the child?
It is a sound idea isn't it?

Potty Training Tips For Boys: How I Got My Son Potty Trained In Only 3 DaysJamie Glowacki
In this guide, I’ll be sharing tips for potty training boys that I used that made potty training my son as simple as possible. Then I'll share how to potty train boys in 3 short days.
Tip #1: Get him prepared and motivated with underwear
Let your son choose whatever kind of underwear he wants (comic book heroes, cartoon characters, etc). Get him excited about being old enough to use the potty and put on real underwear just like daddy wears. If he seems a little hesitant to put them on, see if he'll wear them over his diaper.
Tip #2: Start with him sitting down first before transitioning to standing up
When you start with them sitting down first it helps keep things as easy as possible. Sitting down will also help prevent him from getting distracted from spraying (and possibly missing the bowl). Once he’s comfortable with the basics of sitting down and going, you can try and transition him into the standing position (but there is no reason to rush). A male role model can be key in helping through this transition.
Tip #3: Keep it simple
Make potty training as easy and comfortable as possible. Don’t over complicate the activity, and don’t make a big deal out of trips to the potty. Be make sure your son understands the purpose of why he’s there.
Tip #4: Avoid negative reinforcement
When the accidents happen (and he will), avoid over criticizing or punishing him. Try to remember harshly reprimanding him now could spell potential accidents in the coming months.
Tip #5: Celebrate the triumphs
Instead of scolding him for failures, use positive reinforcement and positive moral boosts of the accomplishments of what he’s achieving. It’s a significant milestone he’s reached as a “big kid”, so reward it with great fanfare.
Tip #6: Target Practice
Try putting a few O-shaped cereal pieces in the toilet which will help make it fun and encourage him to aim for the bowl. Expect to clean up a few messes as your son perfects his aim.

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
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.

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!

1. Autism Spectrum Disorders
Tips & Resources
Tip Sheet 29
Tips for Daily Life - Toilet Training
In an effort to help parents with what can be an overwhelming challenge, Little Friends Center for Autism has created
a set of tips for toilet training your child with autism.
• Preparation for toilet training is a major key to success. Before toilet training your child, create a baseline chart
documenting your child’s bowel and bladder frequency and accidents as well as their rate of fluid intake for 3-5
days.
• Commitment and consistency are important parts of toilet training. Start training when you have at least two
days in a row that are fairly calm and routine and when you will be committed to toilet training your child all
day.
• Having the right equipment makes training easier and more interesting for your child. Start by buying several
pairs of underpants, let your child pick them out if he likes characters on them. Training underpants are much
thicker than regular underwear and work well with plastic pants over them. Only use pull-ups over underwear.
When used alone, pull-ups prevent the child from having an uncomfortable, wet sensation. Extra pants that can
be easily slipped on and off are also helpful. During training, use clothes that will be easy for your child to get on
and off such as sweat pants, shorts, shorter skirts with elastic waists, etc. If using a potty seat, one that fits on
the toilet works best as it can be difficult to transition from a potty chair to the toilet.
• Create a picture schedule for your child by taking pictures of all the steps of your child’s toileting routine.
Include hand washing. Write numbers on the picture in the sequence they are performed. This schedule should
be reviewed with your child 2-3 times a day at a time when they do not need to use the bathroom. Once they
begin to improve the review can be faded to one time per day and eventually faded completely. Teach everyone
who will be doing toileting with your child the same routine so your child has consistency. The toileting routine
should always be done the same way from start to finish.
• Choose a word to indicate going to the bathroom that will be used in your family long term. Ask your school to
use this term also. Children get confused when being asked about going to the bathroom when people use many
different terms. Using a word that your child can use their entire life is preferable and prevents having to re-
train a new word.
• Once the preparation is over, start the first day by dressing your child in their new underwear right away. Using
pull-ups or plastic pants over the underwear will minimize leakage. Using the baseline chart as a guide, at the
scheduled time, take your child to the bathroom and have him follow the picture routine. As you child goes
through the toileting process, point to the picture schedule using minimal language. Give the least amount of
assistance possible for each step. This will promote success and lead to independence once the steps are
mastered.

2. Autism Spectrum Disorders
Tips & Resources
• When you take your child to the bathroom, check to see if he is dry and praise him with a phrase like “yeah dry
pants!” If he has an accident, tell him in a neutral voice, “no wetting or “no poop in pants”. Have your child sit
on the toilet for 3 minutes at a time using a timer or First/Then transition aid to let him know when he is done.
Stay in the bathroom with your child so he feels safe and comfortable. If he has trouble sitting for the 3 minutes,
provide a toy, sing him a song, or give him a book.
• If he goes to the bathroom and was dry praise him and give him a motivating reward such as a favorite snack,
blow bubbles or give him a favorite toy. If he goes to the bathroom but was wet or soiled, only praise him for
going to the bathroom. If he was dry but does not urinate or have a bowel movement, praise him for being dry
only. Rewards for toileting should be very motivating and only used for toilet training. If your child begins to get
bored with a reward, change it. Rewards should be enough that they are reinforcing, but not so large that your
child will become easily satiated with the reward.
• When your child has an accident, tell him “no wetting.” Show him the picture schedule and take him to the
bathroom following the complete sequence. Have him sit for two minutes using the timer. If your child goes to
the bathroom, praise him but do not give him a reward. When your child has an accident, you may want to have
him take his dirty clothes to the laundry room. You should also have your child get dressed by himself with the
least amount of assistance possible. At no time should you scold your child or be punitive. As your child
improves, rewards can be faded.
• As your child stays drier for longer periods, increase the time before taking him to the bathroom by 15 minutes.
Your goal will be to fade these times to more natural times such as first thing in the morning, before lunch, after
lunch, after school, after dinner and before bed. You will also be working towards your child initiating toileting
on their own.
• For bowel movement training, take your child to the bathroom at the times the baseline chart indicates they
have a bowel movement. Have them sit for up to 20 minutes using the timer or transition aid. Make the
environment relaxing with books or calm music. Stay with your child so they feel safe. Follow the same reward
procedure as for toileting.
• Bowel training is best started when a child has regular bowel movements and does not soil at night. Do not
allow children to sit in wet or soiled clothes for long periods. Allowing them to remain wet may desensitized
them. If they are not uncomfortable when wet or soiled they may lose their motivation to be toilet trained.
• Do not be overly concerned about night time accidents. Many children do not master this until they are eight.
