This document discusses stress, its various forms and causes. It describes acute stress as short-term reactions to threats, episodic acute stress as experienced by constantly busy individuals, and chronic stress as long-lasting stress from internal or external issues. Stress can manifest physically, mentally, and behaviorally and cause issues like headaches, digestive problems, depression and more. The document also examines workplace, personal, and societal stressors and how unmanaged stress contributes to health problems.
Stress is a real or interpreted threat to the physiological or psycho social and/or behavioral response due to various factor that have to managed so that it may not lead into fatal psychiatric conditions

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.

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!
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
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:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.

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.
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

2. • The world today is full of tension. Wherever
we go we find people are tense & nervous
• Stress & tension is more common than cold or
cough
3. Stress is a fact of life and can affect individuals in
a variety of ways. At some point in life, every
individual experiences some degree of stress; some
individuals experience stress more often than
others and some have difficulty dealing with stress.
Stress can be manifested from any situation or
thought that causes an individual to experience
frustration, anger, and nervousness, whereas
anxiety is a feeling of fear and apprehension.
4. Forms of Stress
According to the American
Psychological Association
(APA), stress can be
categorized as acute, episodic
acute, and chronic.
5. Acute stress is the most common
form of stress and is short term.
It is described as a reaction to an
immediate threat, commonly
referred to as the fight or flight
response. Common causes of acute
stress include noise, danger,
crowding, or isolation.
6. Episodic acute stress is prevalent
among those individuals whose
lives are constantly chaotic and
demanding. These individuals
are always in a rush and tend to
take on too many tasks at one
time. Individuals who worry a lot
are also prone to episodic acute
stress.
7. Chronic stress is defined as a type of
stress that occurs over a long period
of time from either internal or
external stressors. Common causes of
chronic stress include financial
problems, death of a loved one, long-
term relationship issues, or having a
demanding job or work schedule.
8. Common effects of stress
Indeed, stress symptoms can affect your
body, your thoughts and feelings, and your
behavior. Being able to recognize common
stress symptoms can help you manage
them. Stress that's left unchecked can
contribute to many health problems, such
as high blood pressure, heart disease,
obesity and diabetes.

10. Types of stress: Good & Bad
•
• Some stresses get you going & they are
good for you– without any stress at all
one may become lazy and our lives will
become boring
However, when stresses undermine
both our mental and physical health
they are bad.

13. Causes of Stress
Causes or factors of stress are known as
stressors. There may be responses in the
human being due to the felt stress or inner
pressure state. It can be of two types:
Body responses
Psychological responses
Moreover, stress is a big problem in the medical field as it
contributes 75% of bodily diseases.
16. Feelings
•The individual becomes anxious and is
scared.
•The person feels that he has got
something to loose or something wrong will
take place.

27. Stress-Related
Illness
Stuck in high gear
Is it possible to worry yourself sick? Your body
has a hard-wired self-defense system commonly
known as the fight-or-flight response. The
response is supposed to kick in when you encounter
an immediate physical threat and turn off when
the threat passes.
However, your body can get stuck in fight-or
flight-mode because of stress, and this can cause
health problems.
28. Illnesses Caused by
Stress
Respiratory Disorders
Common Cold
Rhinitis (Congestion of nasal mucous membrane)
Rhinovirus. This bunch is most active in early fall,
spring, and summer. They cause 10%-40% of
colds. You'll feel plenty miserable when you
catch one, but the good news is they rarely
make you seriously sick.
Bronchial asthma (Bronchial spasm)
29. Cardiovascular Disorder
Tachycardia (Increased heart rate with
irregular of the heart rhythm) Tachycardia is a
condition that makes your heart beat more than 100
times per minute. There are three types of it:
Supraventricular. This happens when the electrical
signals in the organ's upper chambers misfire and
cause the heart rate to speed up. It beats so fast
that it can't fill with blood before it contracts
Anginal Syndrome (Sudden and severe
pain in the chest) Angina is a type of chest pain
caused by reduced blood flow to the
heart. Angina (an-JIE-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) is a
symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina, also
called angina pectoris, is often described as
squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness or pain in
your chest.
30. Cardiovascular Disorder
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high
blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical
condition in which the blood pressure in the
arteries is persistently elevated.
Coronary Disease (Heart attack)
Coronary heart disease (CHD), or coronary
artery disease, develops when
the coronary arteries become too narrow.
The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that
supply oxygen and blood to the heart. CHD tends
to develop when cholesterol builds up on
the artery walls, creating plaques.
31. Gastrointestinal Disorder
Anorexia (Loss of appetite)
Bulimia (Excessive appetite)
Peptic Ulcer (It is an open sore situated
on the lining of the stomach or more
frequently on the upper portion of the small
intestine)
Colitis (Inflammation of the colon,
Symptoms include diarrhea, constipation,
lower abdominal pain and bleeding)
32. Migraine Headache
(It refers to an intensity painful
headache recurring periodically on
only one side of the head)
Genitourinary Disorders
Enuresis or Bedwetting
Urinary incontinence (enuresis) is the loss of bladder
control. In children younger than age 3, it's normal
to not have full bladder control. As children get
older, they become more able to control their
bladder. Wetting is called enuresis when it happens
in a child who is old enough to control his or her
bladder.
33. Menstrual Disorders
Premenstrual tension
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a condition that affects a woman's
emotions, physical health, and behavior during certain days of
the menstrual cycle, generally just before her menses. PMS is a very
common condition. Its symptoms affect more than 90 percent of
menstruating women.
Dysmenorrhea (Painful menstruation)
Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for menstrual cramps, which are
caused by uterine contractions. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to
common menstrual cramps, while secondary dysmenorrhea results from
a disorder in the reproductive organs. Both types can be
treated. Dysmenorrhea Menu.
Psychogenic amenorrhea (Stoppage of menstruation)
Psychogenic amenorrhea results from the interaction of intrapsychic
vulnerability, external stress, and neuroendocrine disturbances. It may
result from exposure
34. Disturbance of sexual function
Sexual dysfunction refers to a problem occurring during any phase
of the sexual response cycle that prevents the individual or
couple from experiencing satisfaction from the sexual activity.
The sexual response cycle traditionally includes excitement,
plateau, orgasm, and resolution.
Psychogenic Impotence (for Male)
Psychogenic impotence is where an erection or penetration fails due
