Suffering From A Brain Injury? Consult A Personal Injury AttorneyColson Hicks Eidson
Almost any accident can potentially cause a traumatic brain injury, especially if your head impacts a surface with force. However, a brain injury may also result from a lack of oxygen, rather than head trauma. Even mild brain injuries like concussions can be dangerous. If you or a loved one sustained a traumatic brain injury as a result of someone else’s negligence, then contact their Miami personal injury attorneys at Colson Hicks Eidson today. They can assist you in filing your claim and will consult medical professionals, economists, accident reconstructionists and more to calculate the compensation you deserve. They fight for justice for their clients and their families, and they can fight for you, too.

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!

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.
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
1. Types, Causes & Prevention of Neurologic Injury
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Damage to living brain tissue caused by an external, mechanical force. It is
usually characterized by a
period of altered consciousness (amnesia or coma) that can be very brief (minutes) or very long
(months/indefinitely). The specific
disabling condition(s) may be orthopedic, visual, aural, neurologic, perceptive/cognitive, or
mental/emotional in nature. The term does not
include brain injuries that are caused by insufficient blood supply, toxic substances, malignancy, disease
producing organisms, congenital
disorders, birth trauma or degenerative processes.
TBI may result from:
Motor vehicle accident
Fall
Sports injury
Assault
Penetrating head injury
Closed Head Injury (CHI)): A subset of a traumatic brain injury in which the skull is not breeched. Occurs
when the head accelerates and
then rapidly decelerates or collides with another object (for example the windshield of a car) and brain
tissue is damaged, not by the
2. presence of a foreign object within the brain, but by violent smashing, stretching, and twisting, of brain
tissue. Closed brain injuries
typically cause diffuse tissue damage that result in disabilities which are generalized and highly variable.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI): The implication of this term is that the individual experienced normal growth
and development from
conception through birth, until sustaining an insult to the brain at some later time which resulted in
impairment of brain function.
You can see more information on our Florida Institute for Neurologic Rehabilitation, Inc resources page.
Types of acquired brain injury:
Abscess
Aneurysm
Anoxia/hypoxia
Arterioveneous Malformation (AVM)
Encephalitis
Fetal alcohol syndrome
Meningitis
Metabolic encephalopathy
Seizure disorder
Stroke
Tourette syndrome
Toxic exposure
Tumor
3. Neurologic injury has many forms resulting from several causes. These broad categories include:
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Motor vehicle accident
Fall
Sports injury
Assault
Penetrating head injury
Closed Head Injury (CHI)
Subset of a traumatic brain injury in which the skull is not breeched
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Statistics from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC):
In the United States, people sustain about 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries (TBI) per year.
Of those, 75% are concussions or other forms of mild traumatic brain injury.
Individuals aged 0-4, 15-19, and 65+ are the most likely to sustain a TBI.
Males are more likely to sustain a TBI than females.
Causes of TBI:
Falls - 35.2%
Unknown/Other - 21%
Motor Vehicle/Traffic - 17.3%
Struck By/Against - 16.5%
Assault - 10%
TBI from Falls are highest among individuals aged 0-4 and 75+ years.
