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.
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

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.

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.

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!
1. Occupational Health Safety and Welfare
Powerpoint presentation resource from
Charles Darwin University, Australia
2. Legislation
The Workplace Health and Safety Act.
“An Act to promote occupational health and safety in the
Territory to prevent workplace injuries and diseases, to
protect the health and safety of the public in relation to
work activities, to promote the rehabilitation and
maximum recovery from incapacity of injured workers, to
provide financial compensation to workers incapacitated
from workplace injuries or diseases and to the
dependants of workers who die as the results of such
injuries or diseases, to establish certain bodies and a
fund for the proper administration of the Act, and for
related purposes.”
3. Legislation cont’d
The aim of the Act is to protect workers at work by promoting a culture of
safety awareness. Both the Act and the Regulations have mandatory
requirements and fines for breaches of the Act and regulations are
outlined within the documents.
Codes of Practice under the Act provide practical guidance on how a
health and safety standard can be achieved. These are mandatory
requirements and should be followed. Minimum standards are stated
and if there is another solution which achieves the same or better
standard of health and safety it may be used
Australian Standards provide guidance on how a standard can be
achieved. These standards are developed by Standards Australia and
contain requirements that should be followed. Minimum standards are
stated and if there is another solution which achieves the same or
better standard of health and safety it may be used.
IF IN DOUBT, ASK!!!
4. Employer and Employee Responsibilities
Responsibilities of employers and
employees are outlined in the Workplace
Health and Safety Act and the University
Health and Safety Policy.
5. Inspections of the Workplace
Regular inspections of the workplace are designed to identify hazards
for assessment and control to maintain a safe environment
Inspections must be carried out on a regular basis and form part of the
overall OH&S management system of the University
Inspections are carried out on a scheduled basis by a team who
complete the checklist and identify hazards for correction
Where there is a significant change in activities and/or area use an
inspection must be performed
High risk areas should be inspected more frequently
It is the responsibility of staff in the area inspected to take remedial
action within timeframes set.
6. Managers and Supervisors
Staff in a supervisory capacity are
required to ensure that regular
inspections are carried out and that
appropriate remedial action is
undertaken
7. Health and Safety Inspection Check List
Download the
Health and Safety Inspection Checklist
Regular Inspections provide a means for you to measure your OHS
performance.
Keep records
Complete the checklist and don’t forget to identify who will be
responsible for correcting identified hazards
8. Safe Work Procedures (SWP’s)
Where a specific hazard exists it may be appropriate to have
safe work procedures clearly described and posted close by
so as they can be easily read and understood
International signage is useful where there may be difficulty in
communication
DO NOT rely on verbal information for it may not be received
by all who need it.
Document all information
Procedures should be reviewed at inspection time
Safe Work Procedure Template
9. Hazardous Substance Risk Assessments
Hazardous Substance Risk Assessments must be completed when
dealing with Hazardous Substances
They are designed to address the key points associated with the
substance such as Usage, Health Effects, Hazard Identification, Control
Measures and Disposal Processes
All this information can be obtained from the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for the substance.
10. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s)
MSDS’s can be obtained from manufacturer/supplier or through a chemical
database such as ChemWatch
Electronic information may not be available when needed so hard copies of the
information must be kept where they are easily accessed
Every chemical substance in the workplace should have a printed MSDS to
inform the user of the nature of the product in use.
The MSDS provides valuable information on:
what the formula is, it’s appearance, odor and use
permissible exposure limits (PEL), exposure effects
monitoring and measurement procedures
health hazard information
emergency first aid
personal protection
leak/spill procedures, waste disposal and storage
11. Labelling of chemicals
Labelling of substances is governed by the
National Code of Practice for the Labelling of Workplace Substances [NOHSC:2012 (1994)]
LABELS FOR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
The label on a hazardous substance should draw the attention of a user who is handling or using
the substance to the significant hazards involved. It should take into account all the hazards
which are likely to occur during the use of the substance.
INFORMATION NEEDED ON LABELS FOR CONTAINERS WITH A CAPACITY OF MORE THAN 500 mL(g)
6. Product Name
7. Chemical Name
8. Concentration or formulation details
9. Signal words, Dangerous Goods class and subsidiary risk labels
10. UN number
11. Risk Phrase(s)
12. Safety Phrase(s)
13. Directions for use (as appropriate)
14. First Aid procedures
15. Emergency Procedures
16. Expiry date
17. Manufacturer details
18. Reference to MSDS
12. Labelling of chemicals
Small containers may have insufficient space to include all the information needed on the label
in a style and size that is legible and clearly distinguishable from other markings on the
container. The information needed on labels for small containers is therefore a subset of that for
containers of more than 500 mL(g).
INFORMATION NEEDED ON LABELS FOR CONTAINERS WITH A CAPACITY OF LESS THAN 500 mL(g)
4. Product Name
5. Chemical Name
6. Concentration or formulation details
7. Signal words, Dangerous Goods class and subsidiary risk labels
8. UN number
9. Risk Phrase(s) – at least the most significant
10. Safety Phrase(s) – at least the most significant
11. First Aid procedures
12. Manufacturer details
13. Reference to MSDS
Where a container of a hazardous substance is so small that this information cannot be
provided on the actual container, the container should be labelled with at least:
18. Product Name/Chemical Name
19. Signal words, Dangerous Goods class and subsidiary risk labels
20. Manufacturer details
Consideration should be given to other methods of providing additional information, such as on
outer packaging. Alternative packaging can be used to provide enough room to allow the full set
of information to be supplied.
13. Resolution of OHS issues
Initially the OHS issue should be discussed with your
supervisor
Should the supervisor not be able to assist, the matter should
be referred to your Health and Safety Representative on the
Faculty Workplace Advisory Group (WAG) and seek advice from
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE).
Refer paperwork to WAG or HSE for action
If the matter remains unresolved it can then be referred to the
University Health and Safety Group (UHSG)
14. Hazards
A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health
effects on something or someone under certain conditions at work.
Sometimes a hazard is referred to as being the actual harm or the
health effect it caused rather than the hazard. For example, the
disease tuberculosis (TB) might be called a hazard by some but in
general the TB-causing bacteria would be considered the "hazard"
or "hazardous biological agent".
What are examples of a hazard?
Workplace hazards can come from a wide range of sources.
General examples include any substance, material, process,
practice, etc that has the ability to cause harm or adverse health
effect to a person under certain conditions. See Table 1 (next slide).
15. Table 1 Hazards
Workplace Hazard Example of Hazard Harm Caused
Object Knife Cut
Substance Benzene Leukaemia
Material Asbestos Mesothelioma
Energy Source Electricity Shock, electrocution
Conditions Wet floor Slip, fall
Process Welding Metal fume fever
Practice Quad bike riding Crash
As shown in the table, workplace hazards also include practices or
conditions that release uncontrolled energy like: an object that could fall
from a height (potential or gravitational energy), a run-away chemical
reaction (chemical energy) or the release of compressed gas or steam
(pressure; high temperature).
16. Accident, Injury and Incident Reporting
Accidents, Injuries and Incidents should be reported within 24hours to
Health, Safety and Environment on Accident, Injury and Incident report
If a matter is considered to be serious, involves serious injury or involves
a death, IMMEDIATE notification to HSE is required.
Supervisors are responsible for the follow up and investigation of all
incidents and accidents and are required to forward the accident,
incident and incident form to the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)
unit.
Supervisor is to keep a copy of the Accident, Injury and Incident report
form and forward a copy to the Chair of the WAG
17. Manual Handling
Manual Handling presents a significant risk in most
workplaces and there is a
Manual Handling Risk Assessment Checklist to
determine risks associated with activities.
Training is recommended for any person who is required
to perform manual handling duties as part of their work
and is available internally or externally to the University
Check Health, Safety and Environment training dates
Manual handling information is available as a Regulation
and Code of Practice
18. Screen based equipment and Ergonomic
Assessment
The procedure for users of keyboard and screen based equipment is
available at: Screen based equipment - Selection and Use
Use the Workstation Checklist to make an assessment of your situation
19. First Aid and Medical Assistance
The University requires each work area to maintain trained First Aid
personnel. Depending on the size of the area, one or more may be
required to service the area
First aid personnel are responsible for maintaining the kits to comply with
the current Code of Practice and keeping records of all illnesses, injuries
and treatments given.
Security personnel are trained in first aid and can be called if you are
unable to locate your first aid officer. If no first aid assistance can be
provided call for Ambulance assistance.
Medical practitioners are not currently available on campus. As a general
rule, cases requiring ambulance attendance and further treatment are
sent to Royal Darwin Hospital Emergency Department.
Do not delay in seeking first aid and always remember to complete an
Accident, Injury and Incident report
20. Emergencies
When the alarms sound:
1. Evacuate building immediately by nearest safe exit or as directed by your floor
warden.
2. Proceed directly to the designated Assembly Area
3. Wait until the “all clear” given by Fire Brigade Officer or Building Warden or
Security
DO NOT enter buildings if alarms are sounding
DO NOT USE lifts/elevators during an evacuation.
Familiarise yourself with the floorplan of the building you are in and the
designated assembly area
21. Fire and Fire Fighting Equipment
Only attempt to extinguish minor fires – do not take personal risks
Fire brigade: The fire brigade is alerted by the faculty's automatic alarm
systems.
The Building Warden or the deputy Building Warden must meet the
Emergency Services personnel when they arrive at the fire panel of the
building. As soon as possible inform the University Security on extension
7777 or 8946 7777 or 8946 6500 (Casuarina Campus only).
Each laboratory usually has a Fire extinguisher of DRY CHEMICAL General-
purpose type
Most laboratories also have a fire blanket. Fire blankets are the method of
choice for small and contained fires.
Each building also has fire hoses in them. See floor plans for their positions
in each building
