This document summarizes various types of cell injury, adaptation, aging and death. It describes reversible injuries like cellular adaptations that allow cells to survive stress through changes in size or differentiation. More severe injuries lead to irreversible cell death through necrosis, apoptosis or gangrene formation. The causes of cell injury include lack of oxygen, physical or chemical insults, microbes, immunological reactions and aging. Adaptations include atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia and metaplasia. Apoptosis and necrosis are types of programmed and unprogrammed cell death respectively. Aging causes changes to various organs over time.
The study of the blood flow is called hemodynamics.
Thus hemodynamics deals with the dynamics of blood flow. The circulatory system is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms, much as hydraulic circuits and are controlled by control systems.
Hemodynamic response continuously monitors and adjusts to conditions in the body and its environment. Thus hemodynamics explains the physical laws that govern the flow of blood in the blood vessels.

Cell Injury: Any change resulting in loss of the ability to maintain the normal or adapted homeostatic state.
Agents that cause cell injury
• Hypoxia / Ischemia (loss of blood supply)
• Microbial
• Parasitic
• Chemical
• Physical
• Trauma
• Genetic
• Nutritious
• Environmental
Types of Cell injury
Reversible Cell Injury
Pathologic changes that can be reversed in mild cellular injury when the stimulus is removed. Cell injury is reversible only up to a certain point otherwise it will be irreversible.
Changes in reversible cell injury
Cellular Swelling: Due to accumulation of intracellular water and endoplasmic reticulum & mitochondria.
Clumping of chromatin.
Irreversible Cell injury
Pathologic changes that are permanent and cause cell death, they cannot be reversed to normal state.
Changes in irreversible cell injury
Irreversible injury is marked by severe mitochondrial vacuolization, extensive damage to plasma membranes, detachment of ribosomes from the granular endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Injury to lysosomal bodies leads to leakage of lysosomal enzymes into the cytoplasm and condensation, fragmentation and lysis of nuclei.

Cellular Adaptation
as cells encounter stresses they undergo functional or structural adaptations to maintain viability / homeostasis.
Injury - altered homeostasis
if limits of the adaptive response are exceeded or if adaptation not possible, a sequence of events called cell injury occurs.
Reversible Cell Injury
removal of stress results in complete restoration of structural & functional integrity.
b) Irreversible Cell Injury / Cell Death
if stimulus persists or is severe enough from the start, the cell suffers irreversible cell injury and death.
2 main morphologic patterns: necrosis & apoptosis.
Adaptations are reversible changes in the size, number, phenotype, metabolic activity, or functions of cells in response to changes in their environment.
Physiologic adaptations are responses of cells to normal stimulation by hormones or endogenous chemical mediators
Pathologic adaptations are responses to stress that allow cells to modulate their structure and function and thus escape injury.
Hypertrophy refers to an increase in the size of cells, that results in an increase in the size of the affected organ
The hypertrophied organ has no new cells, just larger cells.
Types:
a) physiologic b) pathologic
Causes:
a) increased functional demand b) hormonal stimulation

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.

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

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.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
2. Cell Injury
– Variety of stress that a cell encounters in response to
changes to internal and external environment.
– Response varies upon:
– The type of cell and tissue involved.
– Extent and type of cell injury.
3. Forms Of Cellular Injury
– Cellular adaptations:
– Increased functional demands leading to morphological changes
– May revert back to normal
– Reversible injury
– If stress is mild to moderate
– Evidence may stay persistent (subcellular changes)
– Metabolites may accumulate within the cell (intracellular accumulations)
– Irreversible injury (death)
– If injury is severe
– Two types:
– Necrosis (murder)
– Apoptosis (suicide)
