Alcohol is the most commonly abused substance in most parts of the world
and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. While common in the
general population, alcohol use disorders are even more frequent in hospital
patients, including 25%–50% of medical-surgical patients and up to 50%–60% of
psychiatric inpatients in some settings. People who misuse alcohol are commonly
referred to as “alcoholic” by the lay public.
There are two to three men for each woman with an alcohol use disorder,
and the usual age at onset is between ages 16 and 30. Onset is earlier in men than
women, although the medical complications progress more rapidly in women.
People in certain occupations are prone to alcohol use disorder, including
bartenders, construction workers, and writers. Other groups prone to alcoholism
include individuals who use tobacco; those with mood and anxiety disorders; those
with antisocial personality disorder; and those with a gambling disorder.

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

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.

Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:

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

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
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!

3. 4 Most common Crack
Addiction Symptoms
• Red Eyes and Dilated Pupils
• One of the most common and easily noticeable signs of crack addiction include dilated
pupils and red eyes. The pupils are dilated due to a nervous system stimulant which is
present in the crack. Therefore, when the person uses the drug, their people dilate and
increase in size. It may also result in bloodshot eyes and cause extreme irritation, in some
cases.
• Depression
• Another uncontrollable side effect of crack abuse is depression. Using crack results in
increased dopamine levels in the user’s brain. Dopamine is a chemical which elevates the
mood of a person and causes the high which people get by using crack. However, once the
effect of drug wears off, the level of dopamine levels will be washed-out. This may,
consequently, result in severe depression and fatigue.
• Mood Swings
• Smoking crack can make a person feeling happier and more confident, which can be quite
overwhelming. However, these good feelings come with consequences. The high that
results from crack are short-lived, and after the effect is worn out, a user may experience
sadness, fatigue, and irritation. The effects are often noticeable to the people around
them.
• Hyperactivity
• Using crack makes the person increasingly active, and they may experience difficulty in
staying still. Moreover, they may talk quickly and compelled to talk more than usual. This
can be difficult for the addict to hide and may create awkwardness, especially when there
are many people around the addict.
4. 3 Common Myths about Crack
Addiction
• Cocaine addicts can quit whenever they want
• Most people presume that a person who is suffering from cocaine addiction is able to quit
this habit whenever they want. Contrary to this popular belief, a cocaine addict does not
make a conscious choice to continue using it.
• Addiction to cocaine is a moral failure
• Although it is true to some extent, however, it is not the case with every drug addict. Many
people are introduced to cocaine against their will or at a very young age. It does not mean
that it is their moral failure, but the problem is circumstantial. Most people unwillingly try
this drug, perhaps due to peer pressure or the environment and gets hooked to it. Some
people have a higher tendency of resistance, but other may be unable to resist the urge
once they are addicted to cocaine.
• Friends or family cannot help
• This myth is the most dangerous one because it prevents many people from helping their
family member or friend who is suffering from cocaine addiction. People must understand
that while the drug user may be helpless against the addiction, but loved ones can always
help them recover from the addiction.
5. An Overview of
Hydromorphone Abuse
• Effects of the drug
• Hydromorphone is several times stronger than morphine. When used, it causes
drowsiness and euphoria, and, depending on the dose it can also cause respiratory
depression because it has a direct effect on the respiratory center in the central nervous
system. In some cases, this drug causes itching and it can cause severe nausea, up to
vomiting. Hydromorphone slows the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, which is
associated with an increase in the tone of smooth muscles, and as a result, constipation
may occur.
• If you take a high dose of the drug, a cardiac attack might occur and a severe respiratory
depression begins which can lead to suffocation. Without medical assistance, cardiac
arrest can also cause death.
• Dependence and consequences
• Dependence on hydromorphone, as well as on other opioid preparations, develops quite
quickly and is very difficult to quit. The most terrible variant of the development of
addiction is the use of a drug by insertion into a vein. This method of taking the drug
threatens very terrible health problems.
• Repeated use of syringes by several people significantly increases the risk of contracting
serious infectious diseases, as well as the spread of AIDS.
6. What Is Alcohol Abuse?
• If a person is drinking too much alcohol in one go or too frequently in the week then they have
an alcohol abuse problem, which might harm the person’s relationships, health, work and legal
issues. Also, this can interfere with a person’s functionality and productivity at the workplace, or
in other parts of a person’s life.
• Alcohol abuse can eventually result in alcohol dependency and alcoholism while consuming
large quantities of alcohol in a single sitting can cause alcohol poisoning. A person should always
drink in moderation. A female should consume no more than one drink per day, while a man
should consume no more than two drinks in one day. One drink, in this case, equals to:
• 1.5 ounces of liquor (such as rum, whisky, and tequila)
• 5 ounces of wine
• 12 ounces of beer
7. Alcohol Abuse – Causes, Signs
and Treatment
• What are the causes of alcohol abuse?
• There are a number of reasons why people might abuse alcohol including social pressure,
stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, tension, unhappiness, self-doubt, family history, and
as a coping mechanism.
• How can doctors diagnose alcohol abuse?
• The frequent consumption of alcohol hinders or interferes with the person’s
responsibilities at school, work, and home.
• The frequent consumption of alcohol puts the person abusing alcohol or others at risk of
accidents or in other forms of physical danger (such as driving or operating machinery
under the influence, consuming alcohol during pregnancy, consuming alcohol with drugs).
• The person abusing alcohol lands into legal trouble due to alcohol consumption (such as
drunk driving).
• The relationships of the person abusing alcohol are severely affected.
• Which is the best treatment for alcohol abuse?
• There are many forms of treatment available to treat alcohol abuse. Each treatment has a
different effect on each patient. However, there is one definite factor – the sooner a
person receives treatment, the quicker they will recover.
• Behavioural therapy is an effective form of treatment for alcohol abuse, which may include
counselling sessions, support groups, or both. Also, the doctor might prescribe some
medications to treat alcohol abuse. The function of these medications is to help a person
curb their drinking.
8. How Effective Is Alcohol Or
Drug Addiction Treatment?
• There Is No Magic Formula Who Get Things Fix Right Away!
• Only a licensed alcohol and drug counselor can turn things in your favor and make you
recover from your situation as s/he has to thoroughly diagnose and evaluate your drug or
alcohol addiction-level and come up with an effective treatment plan. One thing to keep in
mind is, there is no direct method or magic formula that can cure your drug or alcohol
addiction right away. Typically, the treatment takes a lot of time and may get you in a
troublesome situation, only to get you out of the crisis.
• Healthcare Provides You A Recovery Path—Follow It As Prescribed!
• Since the goal of treatment is to return you to live a normal life, you need to help yourself
and work tirelessly with your recovery counselor who will eventually make things easier
for you to recover from the menace. Simply put, your healthcare or recovery counselor can
only provide you with a direction, you can make your life better by following his or her
prescribed method. Or else, your addiction situation will lead you into a disaster, costing
you both your health and wealth.
• Addiction Treatment via Evidence-Based Approaches!
• There is a wide continuum of evidence-based approaches to treating addiction, out of
which two are most prominent that include behavioral therapy or contingency
management. Generally, healthcare or recovery counselors use a combination of these
approaches, which means treatment via medication plus therapy depending on the
patient’s individual needs and limitations that have long known to produce desirable
outcomes. In short, “Drug, alcohol, or behavioral treatment can include behavioral
therapies, medications, or both.”
9. Getting Your Facts Straight On
Alcohol Abuse, Alcohol
Dependence and Alcoholism
• Alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence and alcoholism share many symptoms and signs which
makes it hard to identify between the three, yet all of them are separate conditions. However,
alcohol abuse can lead to alcoholism due to the increase in alcohol tolerance levels, which is
why AUD is considered a severe and distorted form of alcohol abuse. Alcohol dependency is a
severe form of alcoholism, which is why not only does it exhibit the characteristics of alcohol
abuse, but it also showcases other symptoms.
• Alcohol abuse is a relatively milder drinking problem that can be curbed by the patient
himself/herself even without professional help. Alcoholism has different forms, the treatment of
which can only be determined after identifying the severity of the issue. Alcohol dependency, on
the other hand, is a serious issue that cannot be treated without professional help or
medication, and in some cases even requires being admitted to rehab.
• The main similarities between the three alcohol-related issues are their symptoms and in some
case their causes. There are three major causes of alcohol abuse, alcoholism and alcoholism –
family history and genetics, a stressful lifestyle that can result in a person using alcohol as a
coping mechanism, and lastly to feel enjoyment and happiness.
10. Life After Rehab: How to Live a
Normal Life Post Addiction
Treatment
• Make a Post-Treatment Addiction Plan
• Whether you are reaching at the end your treatment or you are returning home after a
successful rehab, you need to develop a post-treatment addiction plan in order to recover
fully and get back the life you once had lived happily. This post-treatment plan eradicates
the chances of using drugs or alcohol again. So, connecting with a reliable support,
including friends, family, healthcare professionals can help create an effective recovery
plan that further helps you practice a healthy lifestyle.
• Follow a Prescribed Code of Conduct Post-Addiction Treatment
• The people that are close to you can understand you better and help you recover from
your ill health as they feel and care for you. Besides recovery support services, you also
need to take care of yourself and maintain a healthy yet balanced lifestyle post-addiction
treatment by following a general code of conduct after the treatment under the
supervision of trained healthcare professionals. That may include individual or group
counseling or therapy, medication, drug testing and feedback, phone follow-ups followed
by recovery checkups etc.
11. Life After Rehab: How to Live a
Normal Life Post Addiction
Treatment
• Recognize and Manage Triggers
• It is important to understand the situation that can trigger cravings for behavioral, drug, or
alcohol dependency. So, you need to recognize and manage triggers and avoid them at any
costs if you expect your recovery phase to go smoothly. Trust me, fighting against all the
odds or the addiction can make you normal and help you live a stress-free life after your
post-treatment.
• Always Be Ready If Relapse Occurs
• Well, you need to understand that relapse doesn’t mean your addiction treatment has
failed to address your health issues. Rather, relapse is much more common after several
years into the recovery and people can fall prey to drugs and alcohol all over again.
However, you should, by then, must have learned the art of controlling yourself from
abusing drugs or substances. If you can’t manage recovery on your own, consider rehiring
the same rehab centre that had previously successfully got you out of danger.
