Brain cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain that can be benign or malignant and spread to other parts of the body. Common symptoms include headaches, seizures, speech problems, imbalance or difficulty walking, and impaired or restricted vision. Breast cancer is caused by multiple factors including lifestyle and aging, and in some cases genetics, with common symptoms being lumps in the breast or armpit, changes in breast shape or size, and skin changes. Common gynecological cancers are cervical, ovarian, endometrial and fallopian tube, with symptoms including irregular periods, bleeding after sex or menopause, and abnormal discharge. Lung cancer risk is highest for smokers and increases with duration and amount smoked, with

Outlier Modification and Gene Selection for Binary Cancer Classification usin...CSCJournals
Gaussian linear Bayes classifier is one of the most popular approaches for classification. However, it is not so popular for cancer classification using gene expression data due to the inverse problem of its covariance matrix in presence of large number of gene variables with small number of cancer patients/samples in the training dataset. To overcome these problems, we propose few top differentially expressed (DE) genes from both upregulated and downregulated groups for binary cancer classification using the Gaussian linear Bayes classifier. Usually top DE genes are selected by ranking the p-values of t-test procedure. However, both t-test statistic and Gaussian linear Bayes classifier are sensitive to outliers. Therefore, we also propose outlier modification for gene expression dataset before applying to the proposed methods, since gene expression datasets are often contaminated by outliers due to several steps involves in the data generating process from hybridization to image analysis. The performance of the proposed method is investigated using both simulated and real gene expression datasets. It is observed that the proposed method improves the performance with outlier modifications for binary cancer classification.
Nanovehicles for targated delivery of drug to cancerous cellnaveen sundaria
Malignant tumors are considered to be most aggressive form of tumor and the traditional used chemotherapy have toxic effect as the drug molecule could not distinguish between normal cell and cancerous cell. So by using surface modified nano-carriers with ligands specific to the over expressed receptors of cancer cell, monoclonal antibody and peptides which give the decision making ability to the nanovehicle. Such type of targeted control release nano-systems are sutable for treatmentment.

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
Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
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
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
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
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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.

4. Brain cancer or tumors is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain. Malignant tumors can grow and
spread aggressively to distant parts of the body as well. Tumors that do not spread or invade nearby
tissue are called benign.
Symptoms to look for:
• Headache
• Seizures
• Speech problems
• Imbalance or difficulty in walking
• Impaired vision or a restricted visual field
BRAIN AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
5. Breast Cancer is a result of multiple factors which includes environmental and lifestyle changes. In a
majority of the cases, it is due to anomalies that arise out of the aging process, while in 5-10% of
the cases, it is genetically inherited.
Symptoms to look for:
• a lump in the breast – the most common first sign. The woman usually finds the lump. ...
• a lump in the armpit (axilla) ...
• changes in breast shape or size.
• skin changes.
BREAST CANCER
6. The common gynaecological cancers are cervical, ovarian, endometrial (uterine body) and cancer of
the fallopian tube (occasionally) excluding carcinoma of the female breast.
Gynaecological cancers have increased in India and by 2020, may constitute about 30% of the total
cancers among women.
Symptoms to look for:
• Irregular Periods
• Bleeding after sex
• Bleeding after menopause
• Persistent white / watery / foul discharge
CERVICAL CANCER
7. Cancer in the lungs is common and people who smoke are at the highest risk of contracting lung
cancer. The risk of lung cancer increases with the duration of smoking period and the number of
cigarettes smoked. The silver lining though is that if one quits this habit even after several years,
one can significantly reduce the chances of developing lung cancer.
Symptoms to look for:
• A new cough that doesn't go away
• Changes in a chronic cough or 'smoker's cough'
• Coughing blood, even small amounts
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
LUNG CANCER
8. The liver is one of the most vital organs which filters the blood coming from the digestive tract,
before circulating it to the rest of the body. It detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs. The liver
can be affected either by primary liver cancer which arises in the liver, or secondary or metastatic
cancer, which originates elsewhere in the body.
Symptoms to look for:
• A hard lump on the right side just below the rib cage
• Swollen abdomen and discomfort in the upper abdomen
• Pain near the right shoulder blade or in the back
• Jaundice
• Easy bruising or bleeding
LIVER CANCER
