Ryde offers a bike sharing platform for university campuses that addresses issues with bike theft and maintenance. By attaching tracking locks to existing bikes, Ryde allows students to rent bikes without the costs of ownership. Students can locate available bikes through an app and the locks eliminate docking stations. An initial test revealed usage hotspots near classrooms and campus boundaries. Ryde is currently beta testing at USC with over 30 bikes and 80 users growing, and plans to fully deploy over 4 years by adding bikes with each new freshman class.Covered Walkways Increase Pedestrian Safety

The National Strategy for Suicide Prevention was launched in 2001 as a collaborative effort between multiple government agencies and non-profit organizations to reduce suicide rates. It established 11 goals focused on improving awareness, reducing stigma, increasing access to treatment, and supporting those affected by suicide. SAMHSA plays a key role in connecting this strategy to states and communities through grants, resources, and programs supporting goals like a national suicide prevention technical center and a national crisis hotline network. The long-term effort aims to create lasting change through improved surveillance, guidelines, and evaluation of strategies to prevent suicide.Enigmatic Nature of Suicide May Answer the Question "Why?"

1) Survivors of suicide often struggle to understand why their loved one died by suicide and search for answers to explain the tragedy. However, every suicide involves some element of mystery as suicidal thoughts and behaviors can be complex and contradictory.
2) While factors like depression, addiction, and other mental illnesses may have contributed and provide some understanding, suicide ultimately stems from unbearable inner pain that the deceased believed could only be relieved by death.
3) Accepting some aspects of the suicide as unknowable and focusing on the relationship with the deceased rather than searching endlessly for causes may provide survivors with greater peace of mind and understanding.The Pain of Grief Is Connected to Love

Facts: Substance Abuse and Suicide (MA version)Franklin Cook
油
Substance abuse is strongly associated with increased risk of suicide in several ways:
1) Individuals with substance use disorders have a much higher lifetime risk of suicide attempts and deaths by suicide.
2) The presence of acute intoxication increases risk of suicide by exacerbating feelings of depression and hopelessness while impairing judgment.
3) Risk is particularly high following discharge from substance abuse treatment or psychiatric facilities. Substance use disorders commonly co-occur with mood disorders to form a "vicious circle" increasing suicide risk.Counseling on Access to Lethal Means
Counseling on Access to Lethal MeansFranklin Cook

Counseling clients and their families on reducing access to lethal means can help prevent suicide. For many suicide attempts, only a short time elapses between the decision to attempt suicide and the actual attempt. Removing access to firearms, medications, and other lethal items gives at-risk individuals options to reconsider and allows others to intervene during a crisis. Counselors should discuss removing lethal means, provide storage options, and check on ongoing compliance as part of suicide prevention efforts.Framework for Asking About Suicide

Updates_in Head__Neck TNM staging- 9th edition.pptxDr. Maroti Wadewale
油
The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) collaborate closely to produce the globally recognized TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours. Therefore, when discussing the "9th edition of UICC head and neck staging," it's largely in alignment with the updates introduced by the AJCC's Version 9. The UICC's TNM Core Committee finalized the 9th edition of the TNM Classification, with publication anticipated in August 2025.
The key updates for head and neck cancers in the 9th edition (or Version 9) reflect an ongoing effort to improve prognostic accuracy and align staging with contemporary clinical understanding and treatment outcomes. Here are the significant changes, particularly those relevant to head and neck:
* Emphasis on Personalized Care and Prognostic Refinements: The 9th edition reflects a greater focus on personalized care, incorporating refinements that aim to better predict patient outcomes.
* Revised Criteria for Specific Head and Neck Cancers:
* Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC): This site has seen substantial revisions, as highlighted in the previous response on AJCC updates. Key changes include:
* More precise definition of T3 disease (unequivocal evidence of bone involvement).
* Introduction of advanced radiologic extranodal extension (ENE) as an N3 criterion. This acknowledges the prognostic impact of ENE seen on imaging.
* Subclassification of M1 disease into M1a (3 or fewer metastatic lesions) and M1b (more than 3 lesions) to better stratify prognosis in metastatic settings.
* Redefined Stage Groups for NPC, with T1-2N0-1 now often falling into Stage I, and Stage IV being exclusively for metastatic disease, further subdivided by the M1a/M1b categories.
* Salivary Gland Cancers: Revised criteria based on updated imaging and anatomical features are being incorporated.
* HPV-Related Oropharyngeal Cancers: New staging is introduced for HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers to better reflect their distinct biological behavior and prognosis, which is generally more favorable than HPV-negative oropharyngeal cancers. This often involves specific considerations for nodal burden.
* Integration of Imaging and Anatomical Features: The updates are grounded in recent evidence, incorporating insights from advanced imaging techniques and a deeper understanding of anatomical spread.
* International Collaboration: These updates are the result of collaborative efforts between the AJCC and UICC, involving input from cancer registries, clinical outcomes data, and disease-specific experts worldwide. The goal is to provide a unified and globally applicable staging system.
* Dynamic Update Process: Similar to the AJCC's shift from "Editions" to "Versions" for specific sites, the UICC is also exploring more flexible ways to share future TNM updates.

This in-depth PowerPoint presentation provides a comprehensive and essential guide to the human urinary system, specifically tailored for nursing students. Designed to simplify complex concepts and enhance learning, this PPT covers all critical aspects of urinary anatomy and physiology.
Key topics meticulously explored include:
Gross and Microscopic Anatomy of the Urinary System: Detailed examination of the kidneys (cortex, medulla, nephrons, renal pyramids, calyces, renal pelvis), ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. High-quality anatomical diagrams and histological images are integrated to facilitate visual learning.
Physiology of Urine Formation: A step-by-step breakdown of glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption (proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct), and tubular secretion. Emphasis is placed on the roles of various hormones (ADH, aldosterone, ANP, parathyroid hormone) and their impact on fluid and electrolyte balance. Understanding the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) and its role in blood pressure regulation is also a key focus.
