The document discusses the classification and treatment of burns. It describes the three layers of skin and classifies burns as first, second, or third degree based on the depth of damage. First degree burns only damage the outer epidermis, while second degree burns pass through the epidermis into the dermis. Third degree burns extend through all layers of skin and into fat, muscle or bone. Treatment depends on the severity and size of the burn, with minor first and second degree burns treated at home through cooling, covering and pain relief, while more severe burns require immediate medical attention.

Burns are soft tissue injuries caused by different agents like heat, electricity or chemicals.
Burns can affect the different layers of the skin depending on the severity.
Burns are classified into first burns, second degree burns and third degree burns.
FIRST DEGREE BURN:
Involve only the top layer of skin.
Cause skin to become red and dry, usually painful and the area may swell.
Usually heal within a week without permanent scarring.
SECOND DEGREE BURNS:
Deeper than first degree burns involving several layers of skin.
Skin is red and has blisters that may open and seep clear fluid making the skin appear wet.
The burned skin may appear mottled.
Usually painful and the area swollen.
The burn heals within a few weeks. Scarring may occur.
THIRD DEGREE BURN:
Destroys all layers of skin and any or all of the underlying structures – fat, muscle, bones, etc.
Look brown or black (charred) with the tissues underneath sometimes appearing white.
Can be extremely painful or relatively painless if the burn destroys the nerve endings.
Third degree burns are life threatening and urgent medical attention is required.
FIRST AID CARE FOR BURN:
Place the burn area under running water or immerse it water for at least 10 minutes.
Use dry, sterile dressings/loose bandage.
Prevents infection.
FIRST AID CARE FOR BURN:
Do not apply ice or ice water directly to any burn.
Do not touch a burn with anything except a clean covering.
Do not put butter, grease, toothpaste or oil. They increase the risk of infection.
Do not remove pieces of clothing that stick to a burn.
Don’t break blisters.
Do not use any ointment on a severe burn.
Do not assume the burn injury is minor. Even a small burn can be serious depending on its location and the age of the victim.
If you wanna be helpful in the society or as a Doctor, you need to know all about this particular topic., gives you the knowledge to know what you dealing with.

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

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!

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.

2. Introduction to burns
• The skin has an important role to play in the
fluid and temperature regulation of the body.
If enough skin area is injured, the ability to
maintain that control can be lost. The skin also
acts as a protective barrier against
the bacteria and viruses that inhabit the world
outside the body.The anatomy of the skin is
complex, and there are many structures
within the layers of the skin. There are three
layers:
• Epidermis, the outer layer of the skin
3. • Dermis, made up of collagen and elastic fibers
and where nerves, blood vessels, sweat
glands, and hair follicles reside.
• Hypodermis or subcutaneous tissue, where
larger blood vessels and nerves are located.
This is the layer of tissue that is most
important in temperature regulation.
• The amount of damage that a burn can cause
depends upon its location, its depth, and how
much body surface area that it involves.
4. • To distinguish a minor burn from a serious
burn, the first step is to determine the extent
of damage to body tissues. The three burn
classifications of first-degree burn, second-degree
burn and third-degree burn will help
you determine emergency care.
How are burns classified?
• Burns are classified based upon their depth.
5. 1st-degree burn
The least serious burns are those in which only
the outer layer of skin is burned, but not all the
way through.
• The skin is usually red
• Often there is swelling
• Pain sometimes is present
Treat a first-degree burn as a minor burn unless
it involves substantial portions of the hands,
feet, face, groin or buttocks, or a major joint,
which requires emergency medical attention.
6. 2nd-degree burn
When the first layer of skin has been burned
through and the second layer of skin (dermis) also
is burned, the injury is called a second-degree
burn.
• Blisters develop
• Skin takes on an intensely reddened,
splotchy appearance
• There is severe pain and swelling.
If the second-degree burn is no larger than 3
inches (7.6 centimeters) in diameter, treat it as a
minor burn. If the burned area is larger or if the
burn is on the hands, feet, face, groin or buttocks,
or over a major joint, treat it as a major burn and
get medical help immediately.
7. • For minor burns, including first-degree burns
and second-degree burns limited to an area
no larger than 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) in
diameter, take the following action:
• Cool the burn ,Hold the burned area
under cool (not cold) running water for
10 or 15 minutes or until the pain
subsides. If this is impractical, immerse
the burn in cool water or cool it with cold
compresses. Cooling the burn reduces
swelling by conducting heat away from
the skin. Don't put ice on the burn.
8. • Cover the burn with a sterile gauze
bandage. Don't use fluffy cotton, or other
material that may get lint in the wound.
Wrap the gauze loosely to avoid putting
pressure on burned skin. Bandaging
keeps air off the burn, reduces pain and
protects blistered skin
9. • Take an over-the-counter pain
reliever. These include aspirin, ibuprofen
(Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Aleve)
or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Use
caution when giving aspirin to children or
teenagers. Though aspirin is approved for
use in children older than age 2, children
and teenagers recovering from
chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should
never take aspirin. Talk to your doctor if
you have concerns.
10. • Minor burns usually heal without further
treatment. They may heal with pigment
changes, meaning the healed area may be a
different color from the surrounding skin.
Watch for signs of infection, such as increased
pain, redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If
infection develops, seek medical help. Avoid
re-injuring or tanning if the burns are less than
a year old — doing so may cause more
extensive pigmentation changes. Use
sunscreen on the area for at least a year.
11. Caution
• Don't use ice. Putting ice directly on a
burn can cause a person's body to
become too cold and cause further
damage to the wound.
• Don't apply egg whites, butter or
ointments to the burn. This could cause
infection.
• Don't break blisters. Broken blisters are
more vulnerable to infection.
12. 3rd-degree burn
The most serious burns involve all layers of
the skin and cause permanent tissue damage.
Fat, muscle and even bone may be affected.
Areas may be charred black or appear dry and
white. Difficulty inhaling and exhaling, carbon
monoxide poisoning, or other toxic effects
may occur if smoke inhalation accompanies
the burn.
13. For major burns, call 911 or emergency medical help. Until an
emergency unit arrives, follow these steps:
• Don't remove burned clothing. However, do make
sure the victim is no longer in contact with
smoldering materials or exposed to smoke or heat.
• Don't immerse large severe burns in cold
water. Doing so could cause a drop in body
temperature (hypothermia) and deterioration of
blood pressure and circulation (shock).
• Check for signs of circulation (breathing, coughing
or movement). If there is no breathing or other
sign of circulation, begin CPR.
• Elevate the burned body part or parts. Raise
above heart level, when possible.
• Cover the area of the burn. Use a cool, moist,
sterile bandage; clean, moist cloth; or moist cloth
towels.
14. • Get a tetanus shot. Burns are susceptible to
tetanus. Doctors recommend you get a
tetanus shot every 10 years. If your last shot
was more than five years ago, your doctor
may recommend a tetanus shot booster.
