This document discusses medications that are prescribed to treat scabies. Permethrin cream 5% is the first-line treatment and requires one or two applications one week apart. For cases that do not respond to permethrin, oral ivermectin or crotamiton lotion may be used. For severe crusted scabies, oral ivermectin combined with topical permethrin or benzyl benzoate is recommended, with multiple treatments over several weeks. Lindane is not recommended due to safety concerns.
Advocate is a topical monthly treatment that is effective in preventing fleas, heartworms, and intestinal worms in Cats. It assists in preventing flea re-infestation. It is very easy to apply and there are no side effects of administering this treatment on furry friends.
Malaria is curable if effective treatment is started early because delay in treatment may lead to serious consequences including death.
Prompt and effective treatment is also important for controlling the transmission of malaria.
A revised National Drug Policy on Malaria has been adopted by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt of India in 2010 and these guidelines have been prepared for healthcare personnel involved in the treatment of malaria.
Most pet owners live with the notion that if a dog is being fed a well-balanced diet and is refrained from over-vaccination, he wouldn’t get infected with Heartworm. So, the question about its necessity arises, read this article to get your answers.
Adult pubic lice are 1.1-1.8 mm in length.
Pubic lice typically are found attached to hair in the pubic area but sometimes
are found on coarse hair elsewhere on the body (for example, eyebrows,
eyelashes, beard, mustache, chest, armpits, etc.).
Pubic lice infestations (pthiriasis) are
usually spread through sexual contact. Dogs, cats, and other pets do not play a
role in the transmission of human lice.
Both over-the-counter and prescription
medications are available for treatment of pubic lice infestations.

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen.

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
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Medications
Products used to kill scabies mites are called scabicides. No “over-the-counter” (non-prescription) products
have been tested and approved to treat human scabies.
The following medications for the treatment of scabies are available only by prescription.
Classic scabies: one or more of the following may be used
1. Permethrin cream 5% Brand name product: Elimite*Permethrin is approved by the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for the treatment of scabies in persons who are at least 2 months of age. Permethrin is
a synthetic pyrethroid similar to naturally occurring pyrethrins which are extracts from the chrysanthemum
flower. Permethrin is safe and effective when used as directed. Permethrin kills the scabies mite and eggs.
Permethrin is the drug of choice for the treatment of scabies. Two (or more) applications, each about a week
apart, may be necessary to eliminate all mites. Children aged 2 months or older can be treated with
permethrin.
2. Crotamiton lotion 10% and Crotamiton cream 10% Brand name products: Eurax*; Crotan*Crotamiton is
approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of scabies in adults; it is
considered safe when used as directed. Crotamiton is not FDA-approved for use in children. Frequent
treatment failure has been reported with crotamiton.
3. Sulfur (5%-10%) ointment (multiple brand names) Sulfur in an ointment base (petrolatum) is safe for topical
use in children, including infants under 2 months of age. The odor and cosmetic quality may make it
unpleasant to use (CITE KARTHIKEYAN 2007).
4. Lindane lotion 1% Brand name products: None availableLindane is an organochloride. Although FDA-
approved for the treatment of scabies, lindane is not recommended as a first-line therapy. Overuse, misuse,
or accidentally swallowing lindane can be toxic to the brain and other parts of the nervous system; its use
should be restricted to patients who have failed treatment with or cannot tolerate other medications that
pose less risk. Lindane should not be used to treat premature infants, persons with a seizure disorder,
women who are pregnant or breast-feeding, persons who have very irritated skin or sores where the lindane
will be applied, infants, children, the elderly, and persons who weigh less than 110 pounds.
5. Ivermectin Brand name product: Stromectol*Ivermectin is an oral antiparasitic agent approved for the
treatment of worm infestations. Evidence suggests that oral ivermectin may be a safe and effective
treatment for scabies; however, ivermectin is not FDA-approved for this use. Oral ivermectin should be
considered for patients who have failed treatment with or who cannot tolerate FDA-approved topical
medications for the treatment of scabies. If used for classic scabies, two doses of oral ivermectin
(200µg/kg/dose) should be taken with food, each approximately one week apart. The safety of ivermectin in
children weighing less than 15 kg and in pregnant women has not been established.
Note that although ivermectin guidelines recommend taking on an empty stomach, scabies experts
recommend taking with a meal to increase bioavailability (CITE NEJM Currie article).

Crusted scabies: both oral and topical agents should be used
1. Ivermectin Brand name product: StromectolIvermectin is an oral antiparasitic agent approved for the
treatment of worm infestations. Evidence suggests that oral ivermectin may be a safe and effective
treatment for scabies; however, ivermectin is not FDA-approved for this use. The safety of ivermectin in
children weighing less than 15 kg and in pregnant women has not been established.
For crusted scabies, ivermectin should be administered together with a topical agent. Oral ivermectin
(200µg/kg/dose) should be taken with food. Depending on infection severity, ivermectin should be taken in
three doses (approximately days 1, 2, and 8), five doses (approximately days 1, 2, 8, 9, and 15), or seven doses
(approximately days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 22, and 29).
2. Permethrin cream 5% Brand name product: ElimitePermethrin is approved by the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for the treatment of scabies in persons who are at least 2 months of age. Permethrin is
a synthetic pyrethroid similar to naturally occurring pyrethrins which are extracts from the chrysanthemum
flower. Permethrin is safe and effective when used as directed. Permethrin kills the scabies mite and eggs.
Permethrin is the drug of choice for the treatment of scabies. Topical permethrin should be administered
every 2-3 days for 1-2 weeks to treat crusted scabies.
3. Benzyl benzoate 25% (with or without tea tree oil) Benzyl benzoate may be used as an alternative topical
agent to permethrin. However, this agent may cause immediate skin irritation. Lower concentrations may be
used in children (10% or 12.5%).
4. Keratolytic cream A topical keratolytic cream may also be used to help reduce the crusting of the skin and
aid in the absorption of the topical permethrin or benzyl benzoate.
