This document provides an overview of the human body systems and their functions. It describes that humans are bilaterally symmetric, bipedal, and complex even at the simplest levels. The basic units that make up the human body are cells, tissues, organs, and systems. It then discusses the skeletal, muscular, integumentary, circulatory, nervous, and respiratory systems in detail, describing their main components and functions.
The document summarizes the main components of the muscular system, including skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles, and smooth muscles. Skeletal muscles are striated and multinucleated, attaching to bones to allow movement. Cardiac muscles are distinct from skeletal muscles and are controlled by the sinus node to regulate heart rate. Smooth muscles are involuntary and controlled by the autonomic nervous system, functioning in organs like the heart and lungs.

This document provides an overview of anatomical terms and the organization of the human body. It describes the subdivisions and functions of anatomy, physiology, and the 11 major organ systems. It also outlines the 4 body cavities - cranial, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic - and identifies the boundaries of each. The document serves as an introductory guide to human anatomy and physiology.
The document discusses the major organ systems in animals. It explains that cells work together to form tissues, tissues form organs, organs work in organ systems, and organ systems work together to support life. The seven major organ systems are skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive. Each system is described in one to three sentences.
The document summarizes the relationship between stress and heart disease. It states that research has shown stress increases health risks related to heart disease. Stress causes inflammation and activates the sympathetic nervous system, releasing hormones that influence immune responses. People's behaviors in response to stress, like alcohol consumption or sleep changes, can further impact the immune system in ways that link to stress and heart disease.
1. Cells in multicellular organisms are specialized to perform specific functions. There are four main types of tissues in animals - epithelial, muscle, nervous and connective tissue.
2. Plants also have two main tissue types - meristematic tissue which divides and permanent tissues including epidermal, vascular and ground tissues.
3. Organs consist of multiple tissue types working together to perform functions like the skin which has epithelial, connective, muscle and nerve tissues.
The document describes different types of tissues found in the human body, including epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues. For each tissue, examples are given of the specific tissue types and where they are located. The tissues discussed include simple squamous epithelium in the kidney and thyroid, stratified squamous epithelium in the skin, three types of connective tissue (bone, blood, and vascular), three types of muscular tissue (smooth, striated, and cardiac), and two types of nervous tissue (spinal cord and cerebrum).
The document provides an overview of human anatomy and physiology, describing the following key points:
1. Anatomy is the study of the structure and relationship between body parts, while physiology is the study of how the body and its parts function.
2. The human body is composed of several levels of organization from atoms to organ systems.
3. The major organ systems include the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
4. All organ systems work together to carry out essential life functions like maintaining homeostasis.
There are 11 major organ systems in the human body that work together to maintain homeostasis. The document proceeds to provide brief descriptions of several key organ systems, including the integumentary system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, nervous system, endocrine system, lymphatic system, muscular system, skeletal system, and reproductive system. Each system has specific structures and functions that work interdependently to keep the human body functioning properly.
This document provides an overview of human anatomy and physiology as it relates to hatha yoga. It discusses the skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. For each system, it identifies the major organs and their functions. It also explains how understanding functional anatomy can help yoga students optimize their practice and avoid injuries by applying science to yoga through correct anatomical alignment in poses. Videos are included to supplement the anatomical explanations.
The science of yoga is the scientific basis of modern yoga as exercise in human sciences such as anatomy, physiology, and psychology. Yoga's effects are to some extent shared with other forms of exercise,[O 1] though it differs in the amount of stretching involved, and because of its frequent use of long holds and relaxation, in its ability to reduce stress. Yoga is here treated separately from meditation, which has effects of its own, though yoga and meditation are combined in some schools of yoga.
The document provides information about the human body's integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems. It describes the structure and functions of skin, bones, joints, and muscles. Key points include that skin is the body's largest organ, bones provide structure and store minerals, and muscles work in opposing pairs to enable movement when contracted or relaxed.
The document discusses anatomy and physiology. It defines anatomy as the study of the structure of the body and its parts and their relationships. Physiology is described as the study of the normal functions of the body. It notes that anatomy and physiology are always related, as the structure of each body part determines its function. The document then lists and provides brief descriptions of the 11 organ systems in the human body. It concludes by discussing how homeostasis and feedback mechanisms allow the organ systems to work cooperatively to maintain a stable internal environment.
The document provides information about the muscular system, including:
- There are three main types of muscle tissue - skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and controls movement, smooth muscle is involuntary and controls internal organs, and cardiac muscle is only found in the heart.
- The largest muscle is the gluteus maximus and the smallest is the stapedius. There are approximately 640 muscles in the human body which make up 40% of body mass.
- Muscles are named based on their location, shape, size, fiber direction, number of origins, attachment points, and action. They work in pairs to flex, extend, abduct, adduct and rotate bones at the

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.

Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Skin
Acupuncture injury can occur to arteries, veins or capillaries. Because arterial blood is under higher pressure, blood loss will be more significant than in
the case of punctures to the other vessels. That is why our discussion here will focus on arteries.
The obvious sign of a puncture is bleeding, which may spurt or seep from the wound, or collect under the skin as a bruise or hematoma.
If patients have bleeding problems or are taking anticoagulants regularly, avoid treating any points that are close to larger blood vessels
When treating patients who take anticoagulants, even when using only the safest points, it is recommended that a cotton ball is used to press on each point for a few seconds just after withdrawing each needle.
Detailed knowledge of anatomy is crucial when treating points over medium- or large-sized blood vessels. It is a good idea to consult textbooks before placing needles, until you have enough clinical experience to be completely familiar with the surface projections of major vessels
If the needle is pulsing, it should be backed off, whether or not de qi has been reached. If I have not sensed de qi, I will leave the needle there while
I work on the other treatment points. Then I return to this point, and gently rotate the needle to obtain de qi. It is important to remember that de qi is not
necessarily achieved by more depth.
Severe complications of arterial puncture include traumatic aneurysm, hemathorax or hemorrhagic peritonitis, depending on the site of the wound.
An aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of an artery. The bulge generally occurs in a weak spot in the arterial wall.
Traumatic aneurysm. A traumatic aneurysm, shown on the left, is also called a false aneurysm. It is caused by an injury, including that from an acupuncture needle.
The illustration on the right is a ‘true’ aneurysm, the bulging that results from a weakness in the vessel’s wall
When an acupuncture needle injures an artery or one of its branches it causes internal bleeding; the surrounding tissue, including blood platelets and fibrin, collects in a mass around the wound. As arterial blood continues to flow into the bulge, the mass grows and its wall thickens. The pulsing pressure of arterial blood in this mass will be palpable, and can be heard through a stethoscope
The whole process can take several weeks, or even up to a year to develop before ischemic and pressure symptoms cause the patient to see a physician
Any aneurysm can be ruptured or become infected. These factors further complicate accurate diagnosis and treatment
This injury can be prevented by looking and feeling for arteries before insert-ing needles. When you see that a blood vessel is near the desired acupoint, press the end of the thumb of your other hand into the patient’s skin, gently pushing away and protecting the vessel. The thumbnail becomes a shield, as well as a guide for the needle as it is inserted.
Peritonitis is defined as inflammation of the serosal membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and the organs contained therein.

4 types
Long bones - clavicles, humeri, radii, ulnae, metacarpals, femurs, tibiae, fibulae, metatarsals, and phalanges
Short bones - carpal and tarsal bones, patellae, and sesamoid bones
Flat bones - skull, mandible, scapulae, sternum, and ribs
Irregular bones - vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, and hyoid bone
Functions of bones:
provide structural support for the rest of the body
permit movement and locomotion by providing levers for the muscles
protect vital internal organs and structures
provide the environment for hematopoiesis within the marrow spaces
provide maintenance of mineral homeostasis and acid-base balance
serve as a reservoir of growth factors and cytokines
Devoid of Nerves – hence no pain when punctured
Epiligament – vascular hence has the propensity to bleed when injured
Functions:
1. Light load, relatively compliant. As load gets heavier, it becomes stiff; Hence it helps prevent injury
2. Load Relax - loads/stresses decrease within the ligament if they are pulled to constant deformations
3. Joint Proprioception – referred to as the conscious perception of limb position in space
They are relatively inelastic and have a tensile strength similar to stainless steel
They are living structures possessing cells and neurovascular supply
Liver nourishes the tendons
No nerves – Pain free
No blood vessels – no bruising, viable after death, no source of repair
Skeletal Muscle – Voluntary muscles anchored by tendons to bones and is used to effect skeletal movement such as locomotion and in maintaining posture
Cardiac Muscle – involuntary muscle and is found only in the heart
Smooth Muscle - involuntary muscle" is found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, bronchi, uterus, urethra, bladder, blood vessels, and the arrector pili in the skin (in which it controls erection of body hair)
The dispersing/distributing function of the lung that defensive Qi and blody fluid are distributed to the whole body to warm and moisten the muscles, skin, and hair
Pain on removal of a needle at the end of the treatment is normally the result of one of two factors: either the patient is nervous or cold, which has
contracted their muscles, or the rotation of the needle in one direction during the treatment has caused muscle fibers to twine around and grip the needle. Yanking it straight out will mean severe discomfort for the patient. If the needle has been turned clockwise during treatment, first rotate it slightly
in the opposite direction before removing it. Secondly, use the tips of the fingers to tap the muscles surrounding the point to relax the muscles and allow
the needle to be more easily withdrawn
The skin is one of the largest organs in the body, having a surface area of 1.8m and making up about 16% of the bodyweight
It has many functions, the most important of which is as a barrier to protect the body from noxious external factors and to keep the internal systems intact
3 layers:
1. Epidermis
The dispersing/distributing function of the lung that defensive Qi and blody fluid are distributed to the whole body to warm and moisten the muscles, skin, and hair
Hairs are found over the entire surface of the skin, with the exception of the skin of the palms, soles, glans penis, and vulval introitus.
Lanugo – fine and long, formed in the fetus at 20 weeks gestation, normally shed before birth, but may be seen in premature babies
Vellus – short, fine, light colored, cover most of the body surfaces
Terminal – longer, thicker, darker, found on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, pubic, axillary, and beard
In most mammals, hair or fur plays an essential role in survival, especially in the conservation of heat; this is not the case in humans. Scalp hair in humans does function as a protection against the cancer-inducing effects of ultraviolet radiation; it also protects against minor injury.
It’s main function in human society is as an organ of sexual attraction, and therein lies its importance to the cosmetics industry.
The nail is a phylogenetic remnant of the mammalian claw and consists of a plate of hardened and densely packed keratin
It protects the finger tip and facilitates grasping and tactile sensitivity in the finger pulp
Nails become soft, thin, withered, deformed, or chipped when liver blood is deficient
When a needle goes into a hair follicle (Fig. 9.7), it can be very painful; the tissue is very tight so trying to push it deeper just makes the pain worse. Withdraw the needle immediately, discard and replace with a new needle, being careful to avoid the follicle
