Reexpansion pulmonary edema is a serious complication after sudden expansion of collapsed lung.Re-expansion pulmonary edema is an uncommon complication following drainage of a pneumothorax , pleural effusion or removal of any space occupying lesion.
The incidence referred is less than 1%, andmortality can reach up to 20%.
The goal of surgical therapy in pulmonary hydatid disease is to remove the cyst while preserving as much lung tissue as possible. The surgical method may be different in the intact (simple) and ruptured (complicated) cysts. The operation has two steps: a) removal of the germinative layer, b) management of the residual pulmonary cavity. Simple cysts are generally removed after needle aspiration or enucleation without needle aspiration.
General principles of the operationThe aim of surgery in pulmonary hydatid cyst is to remove the cyst completely while preserving the lung tissue as much as possible . Lung resection is performed only if there is an irreversible and disseminated pulmonary destruction. Careful manipulation of the cyst and adherence to the precaution to avoid the contamination of the operative field with the cyst content is the imperative part of the operation.

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.

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!

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.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Anatomy of the trachea.
5. • A fibromuscular tube
supported by 20 hyaline
cartilages which are opened
posteriorly.
• The soft tissue posterior wall
is in contact with the
oesophagus.
• Three layers of tissue clothe
the cartilages:
• A fibrous elastic outer layer.
• A middle layer of cartilage &
bands of smooth muscle that
wind around the trachea.
• An inner lining consisting of
delicate ciliated columnar
epithelium containing mucous21 October 2020 5
6. • 18-22 cartilaginous rings
• There are 2.1 rings/cm
• Becomes intrathoracic at 6th cartilaginous ring
• Intrathoracic portion: 6-15 cm
21 October 2020 6
7. • The blood supply is primarily supported by the
bracheocephalic artery and through the inferior
thyroid and bronchial arteries.*
• The nerve supply is by parasympathetic and
sympathetic fibres.
The sympathetic system acts in the flight or fight
response stimulated by adrenaline. It causes an
increase in heart rate and relaxes the bronchi and
muscle of the gut wall.*
The parasympathetic supply to the trachea is by the
recurrent laryngeal nerve – a branch of the vagus
nerve – it can slow the heart rate, increase the acidity
to the stomach and constrict the bronchi. *
21 October 2020 7
8. Tracheal dimensions
• Average cross-sectional area of
the male adult trachea is
approximately 2.8 cm2.
• Transverse (lateral) diameter of 25
mm and sagittal (anteroposterior)
diameter of 27 mm are the upper
limits of normal (males) .
• The lower limit of normal for both
transverse and sagittal diameters is
about 13 mm in men and 10 mm in
women .

9. Some facts about tracheal anatomy
21 October 2020 9
• The cervical segment (extrathoracic) ends at
the sternal manubrium and encompasses
about the first six tracheal rings.
• The C-shaped trachea is probably the most
frequent shape found.
• A man’s cross sectional tracheal area is
usually about 40 percent larger than a
woman’s.
• In women, the lower limit of normal for
transverse and sagittal diameters is about
10 mm.
12. History

21 October 2020 41
42. Complications of Tracheostomy !!
• Granuloma.
• Tracheoesophageal fistula:-
fewer than 1% of patients as a result of pressure necrosis of the tracheal and esophageal
mucosa from the tube cuff .
risk factors: high cuff pressures, presence of a nasogastric tube, excessive tube
movement, and underlying diabetes mellitus
21 October 2020 42
43. Complications of Tracheostomy !!
• Tracheoinnominate fistula:-
0.4% with mortality rate of 85% to 90%.
Major airway hemorrhage may occur first within several days or as long as 7 months
after performance of a tracheostomy.
Risk factors : excessive tube movement, low placement of the tracheostomy, sepsis, poor
nutritional status, and corticosteroid therapy .
• Tracheal stenosis:-
can develop from 1 to 6 months after decannulation
risk for tracheal stenosis ranges between 0% and 16%
• Tracheomalacia.

45. TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE CARE.
• Tube changes:
1. Indications: soiled, cuff rupture.
2. Complications: insertion into a false
passage bleeding, and patient
discomfort.
3. Avoid within 1st week.
4. First tube change by surgeon.
5. Difficult cases (obese, short and thick
neck), be prepared for endotracheal
intubation.21 October 2020 45
46. TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE CARE.
• Tracheostomy tube cuff pressures in a range of 20 to 25
mm Hg.
• Overly low cuff pressures < 18 mm Hg, may cause the
cuff to develop longitudinal folds, promote
microaspiration of secretions collected above the cuff,
and increase the risk for nosocomial pneumonia.
• Excessively high cuff pressures above 25 to 35 mm Hg
exceed capillary perfusion pressure and can result in
compression of mucosal capillaries, which promotes
mucosal ischemia and tracheal stenosis.
• Cuff pressure should be measured with calibrated
devices and recorded at least once every nursing shift
and after every manipulation of the tracheostomy tube.
21 October 2020 46
47. TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE CARE.
• Humidification of the inspired gas is a standard
of care for tracheostomized patients.

49. SPEECH.
21 October 2020 49
Tracheostomy Speaking Valve
Passy-Muir
A tracheostomy speaking valve is a one-way valve, allows
air in, but not out.
forces air around the tracheostomy tube, through the
vocal cords & out the mouth upon expiration, enabling
the patient to vocalize.
50. NUTRITION.
• Tracheostomy tube prevents normal upward movement
of the larynx during swallowing and hinders glottic
closure.
• Between 20% and 70% of patients with a chronic
tracheostomy experience at least one episode of
aspiration every 48 hours.
• Evaluation by speech therapist.
• Keep head elevated to 45° during periods of tube
feeding.

51. WEANING FROM TRACHEOSTOMY .
• Demonstrate stability for 24 to 48 hours after
discontinuation of mechanical ventilation.
• Tracheostomy stomas can narrow markedly or close
within 48 to 72 hours after tube removal.
• Deflating the tracheostomy cuff and capping the tube.

52. WEANING FROM TRACHEOTOMY.
• The ability to breath and clear airway secretions around
a small, capped tube signifies readiness for
decannulation .
• Patients who fail breathing trials with capped
tracheostomy tubes should be evaluated by flexible
fiberoptic endoscopy for evidence of airway lesions and
adequacy of airway function.

53. CONCLUSION.
• The most common indications for tracheostomy is
mechanical ventilation with prolonged tracheal intubation.
• Tracheostomy: emergency and elective, improve quality
of life.
• Meticulous surgical technique.
• Appropriate postoperative tracheostomy care to reduce
complications.
