Traditional Chinese Medicine
Yin – Yang /5elements/Herbalism/Acupuncture/Moxibustion/Cupping/Massage therapy/Qi gong/Tai – ji /Meditation/Massage
Acupuncture is a family of procedures involving the stimulation of specific points on the body using a variety of techniques.
The acupuncture technique that has been most often studied scientifically involves penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metal needles that are manipulated by the hands or by electrical stimulation.
Acupuncture involves the stimulation of anatomical points on the body with thin needled.
Acupuncture patients usually feel little to no pain.
Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and are manipulated either by hand or electricity.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is a form of CTM in which cups are placed on the skin to create suction.
The cups can be made of a variety of materials, including:
Glass
Bamboo
Earthenware
The suction of the cups mobilizes blood flow to promote the healing of a broad range of medical ailments
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing.
The purpose is to strengthen the blood and improve Qi flow.
Direct and indirect methods.
Traditionally used to treat colds.
But it is not for everyone.
Because it is used specifically for patients suffering from cold or stagnant constitutions, it should not be used on anyone diagnosed with too much heat.
Tui Na
Also known as Chinese massage
Uses wave-like motions to loosen joints and nourish muscles.
Brings awareness back to a person’s body, making it a first step in the healing process.
Stimulates the flow of Qi, blood and body fluids
Can be used to treat pain, stress or digestion problems.

Pushing the Point: Integrating Acupressure & Oriental Medicine in Psychiatric...Dr. Jaclyn Engelsher, DNP
With the rising costs of care, decreased
reimbursement for services, and shortage of
mental health clinicians, patients and
providers are increasingly researching and
incorporating integrative therapies as part of a
holistic care plan. A review of the literature
revealed a growing evidence base for the
integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) therapies with allopathic medicine. This
has prompted nursing schools across the
country to include education on TCM in their
curriculums, encouraged hospitals and clinics
to add TCM therapies to their list of
psychiatric services, and resulted in
development of new protocols for addiction,
PTSD, and pain management. Acupressure, a
component TCM, is a non-invasive, integrative
modality that can help alleviate common
symptoms such as stress, anxiety, depression,
mental fatigue, and insomnia, while reducing
barriers of cost, time, and deleterious
medication side effects frequently found in
PMH treatment. A basic understanding of TCM
theory is necessary for nurses to teach and
use acupressure effectively in the inpatient
and outpatient settings. The session will
review the function and energetics of common
acupoints easily integrated into
Psychiatric/Mental Health nursing practice,
provide a live demonstration of acupressure
techniques, and include supervised practice
time to develop beginning skills and
experience the benefits.
Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment modality that has been in use for thousands of years. This presentation highlights the many health benefits of using this therapy.

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.

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

8. 1. Basics of Yin Yang Theory
Yin and Yang:
Are opposite qualities
Never exist in isolation: Everything contains both Yin and Yang
aspects, even extreme Yang contains the seed of Yin and vice versa
Never exist in a static 50-50 balance: While a theoretical ideal, in
reality Yin and Yang are always in a dynamic relationship
Are always spoken of in relative terms: Antartica's climate is more
Yin than Alaska's and Mexico's climate is more Yang than Ireland's
Are interdependent: One cannot exist without the other, they can
be distinguished but not separated
Are mutually consumptive: Extreme Yin (cold/wet) extinguishes
Yang (fire), extreme Yang (fire) burns up Yin (water)
Are mutually transformative: Extreme Yin ultimately transforms
into Yang and vice versa

14. Pathology and Clinical Applications
of Yin Yang Theory
From a clinical perspective the theory of Yin
and Yang is used to help determine the overriding
factors involved in a particular condition. A
condition is most likely to involve the Yin energies
of the body if the problems are present or
aggravated during the evening. Conditions such as
insomnia and night sweats, for example, are often
Yin related conditions. If the symptoms occur
during the day, the condition is more likely to be
related to the Yang energies of the body.
Symptoms of Yang deficiency include fatique,
weakness and lethargy.
15. In accordance with the general principles of Yin Yang
theory, there are four general patterns of disharmony.
Pattern Symptoms
Excess Yin/Full Cold
60% Yin – 50% Yang, Full
Excess Yin
Cold limbs, weakness, contracture,
pain improved with heat, pale
tongue, slow pulse
Excess Yang/Full Heat
60% Yang – 50% Yin, Full
Excess Yang
Restlessness, headache, irritability,
pain worse with pressure, red
tongue, full pulse
Yin deficiency/Empty Heat
50% Yang – 30% Yin, False
Excess Yang
Signs of heat but arising from a
deficiency of Yin, night sweats, heat
in the 5 palms, insomnia, red
tongue, thin and rapid pulse
Yang Deficiency/Empty Cold
50% Yin – 30% Yang, False
Excess Yin
Signs of excess cold but arising from
a deficiency of Yang, fatique,
weakness, pain which improves with
heat and pressure, pale tongue, slow
and weak pulse
