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.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Welcome to mede spa aesthetic institute
1. Welcome To Mede Spa Aesthetic Institute

Mede Spa Services in Plymouth Meeting
Botox
Botox is one of Mede Spa's most popular procedures in the Pennsylvania location. The American
Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has named Botox to be the most popular cosmetic procedure in
America.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are used for facial aesthetic treatments and are injected into the skin. They are
designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, reshape cheeks by contouring and creating volume,
and to revitalize the skin.
Full Body Plastic Surgery
Body lift surgery is an extremely effective plastic surgery procedure for patients with excess skin
from weight loss. Major weight loss of 60 to 350 pounds can leave you with excess skin on your
face, breasts, back, trunk and thighs. Whether through surgery or improved nutrition and fitness
2. habits, shedding significant amounts of weight leaves you with pounds of loose skin. The only way to
tighten the skin is through surgery.
Laser Aesthetic Treatment
At Mede Spa, our highly trained staff will treat you with the latest advances in aesthetic medical
technologies. Our goal is to combine the cutting edge of medical technology with our caring and
comforting environment to rejuvenate your skin.
Maxillofacial Aesthetics
Our surgical team at Mede Spa has designed procedures to reduce the signs of aging and
rejuvenate your natural beauty and turn back the clock by reshaping the facial skin. As we age,
wrinkles and skin creases develop in certain areas. Over time, wrinkles and the natural effects of
gravity may result in a tired look. Gravity, sun exposure, stress, harsh weather and poor diet also
take their toll on facial skin.
Skin Rejuvenation
Do you have acne, loose facial skin, fine lines, brown spots or uneven pigmentation? Our Skin
Rejuvenation Therapies can help. Many things can damage your skin, sun damage, exposure to
everyday pollution and an unhealthy diet all attribute to skin that doesn't look it best.
Below are some additional services we offer.
Facial Surgery
Rhinoplasty
If you are considering of undergoing a nasal surgery, you are not alone. Rhinoplasty, the process of
reshaping the nose, is one of the most popular facial plastic surgery procedures today, with around
half a million people each year seeking consultation regarding having one. Those considering the
procedure should speak with a qualified surgeon to learn the details about what to expect and how
to set realistic goals. At Mede Spa we place an emphasis on helping patients achieve a natural look
that is fit for them.
During the procedure, the nose is accessed through small incisions that are mainly made inside the
nose so they will not leave visible scars. After the incisions, the new structure is made by removing,
rearranging or adding to the underlying bone and cartilage. Recovery time after the surgery is about
a week.
Otoplasty
3. Otoplasty, the correction of prominent or protruding ears, is one of the most common plastic surgery
procedures that is performed to correct developmental abnormalities from birth. Otoplasty can be
performed on children as young as age two to adults. Most commonly the surgery is performed to
correct prominent ears by setting them back closer to the head. Ears come in all shapes and sizes
and "otoplasty" may refer to correction of a number of different ear deformities.
Full Face Lifts
Many people in their 50s and 60s notice some sagging and loss of elasticity in their facial skin. In
addition, fine lines become more prominent and wrinkles begin to appear on various parts of the
face. As a result, a person might appear much older than they feel. A facelift can soften many signs
of aging thus improving the balance between our how we feel and how we look. Facelifts can greatly
improve prominent or sagging jowls, deep nasolabial folds and excess facial skin, muscle and fatty
tissue.
Mini Face Lifts, A full face lift usually involves incisions made around the edges of the lower half of
the face. These incisions generally run from just above the ears, down in front of the ears (where
they are hidden in natural skin folds there) and then up and behind the ears. The skin of the middle
and lower face is loosened and moved and excess skin is removed. Sometimes, the surgeon also
moves and adjusts fat and muscle under the skin of the face. A full face lift can correct wrinkles and
loose skin from the cheeks and side of the face and the lower face and jaw line.
A mini-face lift, as the name implies, is a cosmetic surgery that lifts less of the face than the full lift.
Generally, less tissue is moved and removed than in a full lift A mini-face lift might lift the skin and
perhaps rearrange some underlying tissue on the middle portion of the face or the lower third, but
not both, the way a full face lift can.
Neck Lifts
For those looking to remove excess weight, tighten up their chin, or address signs of aging, a neck
lift may be just the right procedure. The neck lift is usually done alongside a face lift. However, it
doesn't have to be. A neck lift is a great option for patients with excess fat, a double chin or a turkey-
gobble band.
Neck Liposuction
Liposuction is another option for patients looking to remove excess fat in the neck area.
Blepheroplasty
Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is a service to correct droopy or hooded eyelids as well as puffy
lower lids which are as common in men as women and are usually the first noticeable signs of facial
aging. The overall result of eyelid rejuvenation is a subtle but significant change that gives the
patient a more youthful and less tired looking appearance.
4. Lip Implants
Beautiful lips are something everyone wants and now everyone can have. Lip enhancement has
gained much popularity over the past two decades. Patients desire fuller, more sensuous yet natural
lips.
Chin Implants
Chin implants are performed to improve projection of the chin and to achieve a better jawline. This
procedure is often done at the same time as nasal surgery to restore facial balance. While there are
different materials available, the most commonly used implant is made of solid silicone and can be
positioned through either an incision below the chin or inside the mouth. The surgery can be
performed under local or general anesthesia and has a very short recovery period.
Cheek Implants
Many people consider full cheeks very attractive. Weak cheeks can make your face appear gaunt,
and create an aged appearance to the under-eye area. Cheek augmentation can restore the fullness
to your cheeks if it has been lost with aging, or can create the appearance of strong cheek bones if
you never had them. There are many options for aesthetic cheek surgery, depending on your
particular appearance, and the look you wish to attain. The operation adds volume to the cheek by
effectively augmenting the bone structure of the cheek region, enhancing the foundation of your mid-
face.
Brow/Forehead Lifts
Forehead lifts are used when there is a sagging eyebrow or deep furrows between the eyes. A
forehead or brow lift tightens loose skin and in some cases, removes the excess, and forehead
wrinkling and drooping brows can be modified. When necessary, part of the muscle that causes
vertical frown lines between the brows is also removed.
Breast Surgery
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is performed to increase breast fullness and volume for women with small
breasts or those who have experienced a decrease in breast size due to pregnancy or weight loss.
There is a wide variety of implant designs, shapes, sizes, and textures, all of which have certain
advantages and disadvantages. A breast implant is basically a soft, silicone envelope filled with
either silicone gel or saline that is surgically implanted under the tissues of your chest to simulate
natural breast tissue.
Breast Lift
5. A breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape breasts that have sagged as
a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, weight changes, and the natural force of gravity. We can
also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. A breast lift can
sometimes be combined with the placement of an implant where volume needs to be enhanced or
replaced especially in the upper pole of the breast. Several different techniques can be used to
correct this condition, depending on the degree of sagging and breast tissue.
Breast Reduction
Women commonly choose to undergo breast reduction surgery because the size and weight of their
breasts is affecting their comfort and health. Breast reduction represents a means to an end to the
physical symptoms and discomfort they have suffered with for years, and sometimes decades.
Body Surgery
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body's contour by removing excess fat from
deposits located between the skin and muscle. Liposuction involves the use of a small stainless
steel tube, called a cannula (from the Latin word for reed, tube, cane). The cannula is connected to a
powerful suction pump and inserted into the fat through small incisions in the skin. Fat removal is
accomplished as the suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers. After surgery,
these tiny tunnels collapse and thus result in an improved body contour.
Tummy Tuck
A Tummy Tuck or (abdominoplasty) is performed to give the patient a smooth, lower belly contour.
This is usually necessary after multiple pregnancies, major weight loss, or minor weight gain.
Exercise and dieting often can not effectively control the "pooching out" of this area as the tissues
have been too excessively stretched.
Thigh Reduction Reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin, and in some cases fat, resulting in
smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body.
Arm Reduction An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, reduces excess skin and fat between the
underarm and the elbow, reshapes your arm to result in smoother skin and contours, and results in a
more toned and proportionate appearance.
Non-Surgical Procedures
Photo Facials
Photo Facials are a revolutionary advance in laser cosmetics that removes discoloration and textural
irregularities, resulting in the appearance of healthier, more vibrant skin. If you suffer from photo
damage, sun damage or other environmental damage photo facials work exceptionally well at
removing discoloration and improving skin texture and tone.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels reduce fine lines, refine pores, treat acne, lessen the appearance of pigmentation
