‘A bold and honest account, Cindy Pivacic shares her story about how she came to contract HIV & AIDS and how she responded to it.
Not only is she living healthy years later, but her vibrant and energetic character has been poured into helping others experiencing the same situation.
Cindy presents talks and workshops on living positively with HIV & AIDS and those, with this book and her online presence, gives her the opportunity to create awareness, give testimony concerning the HIV & AIDS issue, and to assist in de-stigmatising this secret killer’. ~Charlotte Kemp~

Nobody's Patient: Improving Care and Experience in Maternity Services TranscriptHorizons NHS
Women who become seriously ill in pregnancy; families of babies cared for in a neonatal unit; and women whose babies die in the second trimester often fall between the cracks of NHS services, due to the way services and pathways are set up. They become ‘Nobody’s Patient.’
April's Edge Talk will give participants the opportunity to hear about the Nobody’s Patient project, which was sponsored by the NHS England Maternity Challenge Fund to improve care and experience for families who are typically seldom heard. The talk will describe why the project – part of the #MatExp social movement - was created. It will also detail how families and multidisciplinary staff came together during two pilot workshops at Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and at St George's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to co-produce solutions to improve the care and experience for other families, and for the staff who care for them. Because nobody should feel like they are nobody's patient.
This Edge Talk will be of interest not only to those involved in maternity services, but will also appeal to anyone working in engagement and coproduction, especially with groups who are typically labelled 'seldom heard', or 'hard to reach'.

Power point presentation on puberty and adoloscenceMotiur2
Puberty is the time in life when a boy or girl becomes sexually mature.
It is a process that usually happens between ages 11 and 15 for girls and ages 12 and 16 for boys.
It causes physical changes, and affects boys and girls differently
My small contribution to remind all of us the importance of saving mankind by putting STOP to female infanticide. My presentation has some statistics to support my argument and they might be old but alarming enough and the ways to bring about the change in the mindset of people at large.
My major concern is the changing lifestyle of urban India where women themselves opt for sex determination as they prefer to have a single child and this menace gets unnoticed.
The presentation concludes with some suggestions for bringing the desired change. I hope and pray that we all get serious about this issue before it is too late

Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

8. I feel that UCH do not
adequately cater for
teenagers/young adults with
cancer but I am glad to see
that this is beginning to be
addressed.
(21 year old female)
Even if they don’t talk to
each other – just knowing
that people here are of
the same age and in the
same situation is a
comfort.
(Mum of 17 year old
male)
I really liked the fact that I
was with people who were
my own age and who
looked like me. It made me
feel less self conscious.
(14 year old female)
The care and treatment I
received was fantastic on
the adult ward but I
sometimes found it
alienating and at times
distressing to be the only
young person there.
(20 year old male)
The age range is about right
but sometimes the 13 year olds
get on my nerves like my little
brother! ( 19 year old male)
The nurses get
how to talk to you
here…
( 19 year old male)
I had treatment on the teenage unit and on an
adult ward. The major difference for me was that I
didn’t have anyone to talk to who was my age. That
definitely made being in hospital worse for me.
(24 year old male)
Being with people of a similar age is important to me

9. It’s a good thing to have males and females mixing – it’s
much more like real life and more like the environments
that they mix in like school and university.
(Mum of 19 year old male)
I think it must
be strange for a
girl if they’re the
only one in a
bay of boys. I
don’t know
really…
(18 year old
male)
It doesn’t bother me if
I’m in a bay with boys
and girls – that’s better
than being with a load
of small kids or old
people.
(15 year old girl)
I think it’s more of a
problem for the girls than
the boys to be honest – it
doesn’t bother me at all.
(19 year old male)
It’s more
important for me
to be with people
my own age
(14 year old girl)
Just knowing that people are here and in the same
situation is a comfort – it doesn’t matter what gender
they are.
(Mum of 19 year old male)

10. Being able to stay overnight
is very important – young
people don’t want to ask the
nurses for help with little
things like getting a drink
so we can do it for them if
we’re there.
(Mum of 17 year old male)
I like the fact that my mum or my
sister can stay overnight – I think I’d
be lonely otherwise…
(15 year old girl)
I just like knowing that
there’s someone here for
me all the time. Sometimes
I want to talk at night but
the nurses are busy.
(17 year old female)
Sometimes it’s lonely when
visiting time is over and
your friends or family have
gone. I would have liked it if
my girlfriend could have
stayed with me on the ward.
(22 year old male)
You don’t realise
how lucky you are
until you have to
go somewhere
else.
(Dad of 19 year
old male)
My son doesn’t always want me to stay by the bed – it’s important
that we have our own space. The thing is, he does want me around
though so it’s good to have somewhere to stay so that I can be close
by if he needs me.
(dad of 18 year old male)
It’s much better
when I have
someone staying
with me – I don’t
get so bored.
(14 year old girl)
It is important for me that someone is able to stay overnight
with me if I want/need them to

11. The day room was one of the
most important things about my
experience at the hospital. It
helped me mix with other
people and provided a really
good distraction from the chemo
and effects.
(19 year old male)
We’d be in bed all day if we
didn’t have the dayroom!
(19 year old male)
The dayroom was a
great getaway…
(17 year old female)
It’s really good to have somewhere to go with
your friends or family rather than sitting in
your bed when they come and visit
(15 year old female)
You don’t have to worry
about people staring or
thinking that your child
is strange because
everyone is in a similar
situation – they’re
attached to pumps,
have no hair etc.
(Mum of 17 year old
male)
The activity
co-ordinators are
really important,
especially for the
younger patients.
(19 year old male)
Having access to a day room/social area where I can go with my
visitors or patients of a similar age is important to me

National guidance
Improving Outcomes Guidance
(published in August 2005)
NCAT TYA measures
(published in July 2011)
13. Key recommendations from the IOG
• TYACNCG
• Place of care
• All patients aged 16-18 years should be referred to the TYA PTC
• All patients aged 19-24 years should be offered choice between the
TYA PTC or a local designated hospital
• Robust arrangements for planned transition between children and
young people’s services and between young people’s and adult
services.
• Discussion at TYA MDT
• All patients aged 13/16-24 years inclusive should be discussed at
both a site-specific MDT meeting and a TYA MDT meeting.
• The TYA MDT should coordinate treatment, psychosocial care and
peer contact/support for young people wherever they are treated
• BUT: referrals should not delay the start of urgent cancer treatment.
