Endometrial cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the uterus. The uterus is the hollow, pear-shaped pelvic organ where fetal development occurs. Endometrial cancer begins in the layer of cells that form the lining (endometrium) of the uterus. Endometrial cancer is sometimes called uterine cancer.

Obstetric & Gynaecological Management with Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females worldwide. It increasingly affects women through their reproductive age. The prognosis of breast cancer is improving, with 5-year survival 80% ( >50years(. As a result, obstetrician and gynaecologists are nowadays facing more women who are:
◦ Diagnosed with breast cancer during pregnancy
◦ Coming for Pre-pregnancy counselling following breast cancer treatment
◦ Asking for fertility preservation with breast cancer
◦ Having a Genetic predisposition to breast cancer
On this presentation I am going to address those problems in clinical case scenarios in line with latest evidences.

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.
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.

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

21. Importantissues
For fetal protection, chemotherapy is contraindicated until 10 weeks’ gestation. With a safety period of 4 weeks, chemotherapy can start from 14 weeks’ gestation
A 3 week interval should be left between the last cycle of chemotherapy and the delivery
Chemotherapy should not be administered after 35 weeks since spontaneous labourbecomes more likely risk of neutropaeniaat the time of delivery
Multidisciplinaryteam; should be performed as in a high-risk obstetric unit
term delivery (P37 weeks) should be aimed for
Vaginal delivery -> lower risk of therapy delay due to lower maternal morbidity
the placenta should be analysed histopathologically

•Delayed: 65% -90% stage II and III, increase the risk of nodal involvement andmore metastasespooreroutcomes
•Increase in mammary stem cells that are highly responsive to steroid signallingdespite the absence of hormone receptors is unknown
24. Treatment
Surgery with axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) can be
performed during all trimesters of pregnancy with minimal
risk to the fetus .
Chemotherapy during the first trimester should be postponed.
Dosage based on actual height and weight of the patient
Anthracycline based regimens remain the best choice for
adjuvant therapy
Since the safety of taxanes is less documented, it remains the
second best choice for patients previously exposed to
anthracyclines or with contraindication to anthracyclines
Trastuzumab should be avoided during pregnancy.

Sentinel node biopsy safe for pregnant women with cancer
97 women with breast cancer who underwent sentinel node biopsy., their cancer recurred in the same or other breast
Peccatori:
“Axillary staging in early breast cancer is a changing paradigm. In non-pregnant patients, sentinel node biopsy is an effective staging procedure that holds equivalent results to axillary lymph node dissection even in patients with up to three positive sentinel nodes, if post operative systemic treatment is adequate. Furthermore, hand sentinel node biopsy is associated with improved arm motility, decreased armpit pain and numbness and shorter hospital stay.
Why should we deny this procedure to pregnant breast cancer patients?”
41. Unplanned pregnancy during cancer treatment
Pregnancy for women who became pregnant during cancer diagnosis or during treatment.
The INCIP database 3.23% (29/897) became pregnant after cancer diagnosis or during treatment.

45. A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory.
Patients should be informed in detail about the risks and benefits of treatment. Their beliefs and wishes should be acknowledged.
The treatment of pregnant patients should take into consideration the physiologicchangesin pregnancy.
Many diagnostic radiographic procedures do not cause harm to the fetus when used with proper shielding.
Open or laparoscopic surgery may be safe in experienced hands.
Systemic chemotherapy should not be started during the first trimester if at all possible.
Most chemotherapeutic agents are safe during the 2nd and the 3rd trimester.
No robust data exist about targeted therapies.
