In the 1920s, women's fashion and hairstyles changed dramatically. Hemlines rose to the knee, corsets were abandoned, and short bobbed hair became very popular. The "flapper" style emerged, characterized by short skirts, visible stockings, makeup, and short hair. Flappers danced provocatively and smoked and drank in public, challenging social norms. Careers also opened up for women in fashion design, hairdressing, and dance performances like the Rockettes. Broadway and jazz music provided opportunities for women's self-expression and rebellion through dance. Overall, the 1920s saw women gaining newfound independence and social freedoms through fashion, hairstyles, careers, and public behaviors.
From Abigail Adams in the late 1700's to getting women the vote to Muriel Siebert, the first woman to hold a seat on the NYSE, this is an interesting overview of what it took to get Women on Wall Street. Presented by Gene Massey, CEO of MediaShares at the New York Nowstreet Symposium in December of 2012.

NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

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.
New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

2. Introduction
In the 1920's, women began to grow more independent
This would change the role of women's lives on the 1920's.
Quote: “American women were transformed after World War I. They
seemed to embody the changes going on in the country itself. The United
States went from a young industrial state that was accumulating the capital
to build factories and railroads to a world power with a consumer economy
that relied on its citizens to keep the boom going by borrowing money and
buying homes and cars. Meanwhile, the celibate settlement house worker
was replaced as a female prototype by the jazz-crazed flapper dancing the
Charleston in a speakeasy. Everything that had anything to do with
consumption was in style. That included drinking, smoking, and sex - for
women as well as men.” -- 'America's Women, 400 years of Dolls, Drudges,
Helpmates and Heroines' by Gail Collins

4. The Working Woman in the 1920s
In 1920 women composed 23.6% of the labor force
During WWI
When men were at war the women took the place of men
at their jobs. That were dangerous and a men’s job. These
jobs included:
Worked as conductors of trams or buses
Worked on farms
In engineering
In highly dangerous munitions Industries
There was a high demand of women to do heavy lifting such as
unloading coal, stocking furnaces and building ships.
After WWI, more jobs came open for women. These
jobs included:
Teacher, secretaries, typists, nurses, seamstresses
Even when men came back from war, women continued
to stay in the workforce

5. The Working Woman in the 1920s
The American Federation of Labor did not
support the working woman. It did not want
women competing for men's jobs.
The main jobs that were thought of as "feminine"
were nursing and teaching. This all changed in the
1920's. More women were involved in clerical work,
sales work, and some worked in the factories.
While the first generation of college-educated
women entered professions in the 1920s, they
found opportunities only in nurturing "women's
professions," such as nursing, teaching, social
work, and, within medicine, pediatrics.
Many women (in New York especially) went to
work in the Garment District
By the late 1920s, the Garment District was home
to half of the city’s garment plants.
Many manufacturers, now wealthy, became real estate
developers and helped change the face of the district

Women’s Organization for National

founded in 1929 to rescue America’s
families and communities from the ten Google Images – Women’s Christian Temperance Union
years of alcohol prohibition.
These women had been important in
bringing about alcohol prohibition, yet once
they saw the damage this was having on their
homes, families and communities, they
united to bring an end to this failed and
unconstitutional legislation.

7. Quote: “Women took up
smoking in the twenties with the
same suddenness they cut their
hair and raised their skirts. They
smoked in restaurants, in
speakeasies, in the country clubs
where they went to play golf and
bridge, and in private homes
during that new invention, the
cocktail hour. For the younger
generation, smoking was
another example of "freedom"
and women's right to enjoy the
same pleasures as men. But they
got a prod from the mass media.
Magazine ads urged weight-
conscious flappers to "reach for
a Lucky instead of a sweet".
Cigarettes, which had frequently
been marketed as a health aid
that would cure nervousness or
aid indigestion, became a
weapon in the war against fat.” -

The image of flappers were young women
who went by night to jazz clubs where they
danced provocatively, smoked cigarettes
through long holders, and dated freely,

It made them feel less like property
Made them feel like they had a purpose in society
The 19th amendment sparked women to speak up for
themselves and take on a new role in society and not just the
role as the “homemaker”
Women started going out and getting jobs, playing sports, wearing
looser and shorter clothes, getting different hair styles, voicing their
opinions in public
Suffragists transformed the National American Woman
Suffrage Association into the League of Women Voters
(LWV) in 1920.
Carrie Chapman Catt and other leaders of the LWV saw
enfranchised women as individuals with their own relationship
to the state, and they set out to train these women in good Google Images – 19th Amendment

12. Fashion : A Practical lifestyle
The 20’s were very colorful especially when new patterns were
introduced. Designers included color into every article of clothing from
the stocking to shoes. Stockings actually became visible, they served a
purpose to fashion, not just the opinion of society. Fashion became a
career choice for women also. Classes were also available for women
and girls to take on how to learn to make clothes. It was a way for
women to make some cash while their husbands were away at war.
Although the 20’s were viewed as the “golden years” many people did
not have money and dressmaking was a way that women could have the
latest fashion without spending an immense amount of money.
Although fashion helped women play a part in society and increased the
vibrancy of the era, it was highly rejected by the public, mainly male
population and older generation, it was sought out to be racy and a
disgrace to American society.

13. New Looks
Google images
(flapper girl dress)
Women’s fashion changed dramatically in this time era. More skin was definitely shown.
Sleeveless dresses were introduced and hem lines went from being right above the ankle to
right above the knee. This was the start of the flapper dress.
Corsets became a thing of the past and new forms of under garments were introduced that
allowed more movement/freedom for women making them way more comfortable. Corsets
were sometimes applied so tight that they would cause rib breakage. The new undergarments
allowed women to be active in more activities, such as dance and sports. Again leading to the
flapper girl.
Since hemlines on skirts and dresses were raised, shoes and stockings became visible making
them a major part of an outfit. Silk and Lisle stockings were introduced that became popular
with women of all ages across the U.S. Google images(20s bathing suit)
Bathing suits caused a major controversy and were slower to evolve into something more
modern. Bathing suits were not flattering to the female figure and made it hard for them to
move around in. However in the mid 20s that all changed when form-fitting bathing suits
were introduced in a variety of different colors.
Short hairstyles inspired newly designed type of hats. Hats went from wide brimmed hats to
smaller fitting hats to show off the new hairstyles. Hats were also made in variety of colors to
match outfits. Google images (flapper girl hat)
One of the biggest accessories that played a part in women’s fashion were purses and
handbags. Purses and handbags were considered to be the “eye candy” of the outfit, they held
the outfit together. Purses came with beautiful beading and materials such as silk. If you
could not afford one, you made one. Everyone had one.
Jewelry was inspired from popular events, or subjects of that time. Platinum was the most
wanted kind of metal at the time. Pins and broaches were very popular because they were
used to hold clothes together but in a very stylish way.

15. Hairstyles
The first major transition of hair styles was from the 19th century traditional long
hair to the very short,straight,sleek bob.
First modeled by a famous ball room dancer Irene Castle.
F. Scotts Fitzgerald wrote a short story “Bernice Bobs her Hair, the story is about
this plain Jane who chops all her hair off and evolves into this free spirit.
Clara Bow and Louise Brooks were one of the first fashion icons to promote the
look.
Since barbershops were the only places available for women to get their haircut,
men complained that the women were invading their barbershops.
Some women would actually keep their long hair and then just pin it underneath Google images (Fancy bob)
to hide their new stylish haircut at court events or just in general.
In New York City, reports of up to 2,000 heads per day were being clipped.
The sleek bob evolved into a more sophisticated look. Still a bob but with finger
waved and relaxed curls with a shiny look.
The bob created such a controversy that one teacher in New Jersey was ordered
by the board of education to let her hair grow and that the bob was a distraction.
Other hairstyles were introduced such as the Eton Crop but it wasn’t nearly as
popular as the “bob” and the “shingled bob” or “boyish haircut”.
Barbers and hairdressers were constantly trying to compete against each other on
who could create the latest fad.
Hairstyle was popular among all ages.
Bobbed hair led to the invention of the bobby pin.

16. Media: The Rockettes
The first form of the radio city rockettes were formed called the “Missouri Rockets”.
Inspired by the John Tiller Girls in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1922 – John tiller formed
a group of amateur dancers that sparked his interest in music and theatre.
Founded by Russell Markert in 1925 who said, If I ever got a chance to get a group
of American girls who would be taller and have longer legs and could do really
complicated tap routines and eye-high kicks... they'd knock your socks off!"
Showman “Roxy” Rothafel discovered the dance troop and brought them to
perform at his Roxy Theatre in New York City, changing them to the “Roxyettes.”
Girls from the Tiller Girls and the St. Louis girls preformed together to create the
rockettes.
Rockettes are known for their long
legs, tall and slender figures, and
dark hair. They all looked the same
to keep the sense of unison.
Rockettes were a way for women to
be a part of society and have the
public notice them. It allowed the
women to feel spontaneous but Google images (early rockettes)
structured at the same time.
AA
17. Media : Broadway
Jazz provided a form of rebellion for women, such as
dance halls, jazz clubs, and speakeasies.
Jazz provided jobs for women such as women like
Bessie Smith and Ma Rainy who paved the way for
women to pursue careers in the popular performing
arts.
Jazz did not just give women a career for singing the
blue, but playing the blues such as Lil’ Hardin.
Jazz was the start as the “Flapper Girl” or otherwise Google images (flapper girls dancing)
known as “Jazz babies”.
Flapper girls wore short dresses with high stockings
and long beaded necklaces. Flappers were rejected by
society because their appearance and the way they
presented themselves while dancing was to
provocative.
Frederick Allen stated that "Women were the
guardians of morality; they were made of finer stuff
than men and were to act accordingly"
Jazz was an outlet for women to be seen as individuals Google images ma rainey
and get noticed by the advertising companies.
New York and Chicago were cultural centers for Jazz. Google images bessie smith
AA
18. Media : Radio Shows
Large radio broadcasts were introduced in1922.
It was another way that women could voice their opinions and
have the public hear them.
Radio shows were another outlet of rebellion, it allowed world
wide notification about the cultural changes the 20s were
experiencing.
Women would star on the comedy shows hoping to get noticed
googles images -Radio show
by producers to star in movies.
Radio shows were also the beginning of many popular jazz
singer careers, such as Ma Rainy. Ma Rainy was first
discovered with her husband Pa Rainy because it was the only
way they would allow her onto the show.
Flapper girls would star on radio shows also, even though no
one could see them dancing the radio talk show host would talk
about them and crack jokes and have them respond to a little
skit.
Google images (girls on the radio show)
Radio shows were a job for women that let them have their 3
seconds of fame.
AA
19. Media : Dancing
Charleston was one of the most popular dances at the time.
The dance was mostly associated with the flapper girls.
Women danced to the Charleston as a form of mocking the citizens who
supported the Prohibition act
They knew that people who disapproved of the dance found it to be
inappropriate and immoral so they kept dancing to it to outrage them more.

22. Women’s Role 1920s
Before the 1920’s women typically never left the house, they stayed
home and did domestic chores like cooking, cleaning and taking care
of kids. However, after the end of the 1910s, and the beginning of
1920, the 19th amendment was passed and women began to have
more freedom and rights. They began to be involved in politics,
which only men could do. Women started nursing careers at
hospitals, instead of just being a stay home mom. Some minority of
women, however, did not like the change in their roles because if the
Equal Rights Amendment was to be passed, then they would lose
their protective legislation law, which is a law passed to protect
women from hazards or difficulties of paid work.
Over all women had more opportunities in jobs and careers, but they http://www.msad54.org/sahs/socialstudies/fi
had less pay and worked significantly harder than men did. White- nely/1920s/1920hk/women.html

23. Female Empowerment in the 1920s
During the 1920’s, women had gained many respect and power through their freedom
and rights. The Equal Rights Amendment was passed in 1923, which gave women and
men the same rights. The 19th Amendment was also passed around that time, in 1920,
giving the women the right to vote freely. In 1925, the first female U.S. governor Nellie
Tayloe Ross was sworn into office, her effectiveness at her duty surprised many men and
women, which gave women more respect and praise from men. The World Expo of
Women’s Progress, the first women’s world’s fair, opened in Chicago in 1925. The expo
featured women’s ideas, work, and raised money to support women’s Republican Party
organizations.
Women began to compete in Olympic field events like running, distance running, and
other track events. Women also began to wear and dress in different clothing and styles,
they had the power and freedom to do so and the men of that time enjoyed this change in
cloth. Women did things that men would normally do like smoking, and drinking.

24. Birth Control Movement
The freedom that women got in the 1920’s made them
question the trend of having babies and keeping the
family going. The majority of women did not want to
have child and wanted to create something to stop
childbirth, called Birth Control. Magaret Sanger and her
Birth Control League, the BCL, battled for birth control
using scientific and intellectual fields and backed up with
many women who also wanted Birth Control. The birth
control movement of the 1920s had a goal of taking the
power away from commercial advertisers and placing
that power in the hands of physicians. The whole
movement began with women wanting to have more
freedom over their bodies, their sexuality, and their life
choices. They wanted to live life without becoming
mothers, they wanted to enjoy life. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5

Nellie Tayloe Ross was born near Amazonia, in Andrew County,
Missouri, in 1876. She was active in the Cheyenne Woman’s Club, a
club that focused on intellectual self-improvement during the 1910s.
Nellie later married in 1902 to William Bradford Ross, who later
became a leader in the Democratic Party in Wyoming. William Ross
ran for governor several times but lost to Republicans. Finally in 1922,
he was elected Governor of Wyoming. He held office for a year and a
half, but died of surgery complications in 1924, and left the office
empty. Nellie was nominated on October 14, 1924 to succeed William
as the Governor of Wyoming. She, however, had little involvement
with politics and little involvement with woman suffrage campaign,
she was hesitant, but wanted to complete what her husband has left
behind. Nellie was sworn into office January 5th, 1925, despite
Republicans disagreement, as the first woman governor of the U.S.
Ross wanted to prove to the public and show them that woman could
hold high position jobs. She lost her re-election because she was a
Democrat in a heavy populated Republican state. Nellie also believed
that she should have and would have never pursued a political career,
but only because of her husband that she did. She thinks that women
belonged at home to care for the family. During office, she advocated
and supported the prohibition.
