This document discusses celiac disease, a genetic autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It provides details on:
- The typical presentation of celiac disease in children, including diarrhea, failure to thrive, and malnutrition.
- The diagnostic approach, including testing for anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies and biopsy showing villus atrophy in the small intestine.
- The lifelong treatment of a strict gluten-free diet. Complications can include malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and lymphoma if left untreated.
• Coeliac disease is a genetically-determined chronic inflammatory intestinal disease induced by an environmental precipitant, gluten.
• Patients with the disease might have mainly non-gastrointestinal symptoms, and as a result patients present to various medical practitioners.
• Epidemiological studies have shown that coeliac disease is very common and affects about one in 250 people.
• The disease is associated with an increased rate of osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, and malignant disease, especially lymphomas.
• The mechanism of the intestinal immune-mediated response is not completely clear, but involves an HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 restricted T-cell immune reaction in the lamina propria as well as an immune reaction in the intestinal epithelium.

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.
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

MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
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.

3. It contains estimated 200 Billion Stars, the sun lies roughly 27,000 light-years
from the centre of the galaxy. And there are estimated minimum
100 Billion Galaxies in the Universe.
4. Case Scenario
• A 3.5 years old child is admitted in MER with
H/O loose motions, generalized body
swelling, lethargy and poor feeding for last
two weeks. There is also H/O diarrhea off
and on for last two years. Child is taking
animal milk and some solid foods. Patient is
vaccinated according to EPI schedule
• What is your differential diagnosis ?
5.
6. Investigations
• Hb 8.4, TLC 9.6, PLT 96000
• S. ALBUMIN 2.6,
• Na 129, K 3.0,
• RBS 47mg/dl
• Ca 8.4, PO4 2.3, Mg 1.4,
• Creatinine 0.5,
• ALT 275, ALP 225 U/L, PO4 2.3
17. Silent Celiac Disease
• No or minimal symptoms,
• “ damaged” mucosa
• positive serology
• Identified by screening asymptomatic
individuals from groups at risk :
First degree relatives
Down syndrome
Type 1 diabetes
18. Latent Celiac Disease
• No or minimal symptoms,
• “ normal” mucosa
• normal / abnormal serology
• May develop clinical disease or abnormal
serology later on:
19.
20. Diagnosis
• Symptoms
• Signs on Physical Examination
• Serological Antibody tests on Gluten diet
– Anti-transglutaminase Ig A - 10 X ULN
• HLA detection – DQ2 ,DQ8
• Small Bowel Biopsy – Villus atrophy
• Clinical Response to Gluten free diet
21. Tissue Transglutaminase
• Enzyme in Intestinal Mucosa
• Catalyzes metobolism of Gluten peptides
• Cross linkage of gliadin peptide to tissue
transglutaminase enzyme during these
reactions results in formation of new
epitopes (antigens)
• Stimulation of immune system by these
antigens results in formation of Anti-tissue
transglutaminase antibodies
22. Anti-transglutaminase - Ig A
• Most sensitive and specific test
• Child should be on Gluten containing diet
• Antibody titer correlates with Villus atrophy
• > 10 X ULN is taken as positive evidence
• Small bowel Histology needed if strong
clinical suspicion and Values < 10 X ULN
• Antibody titer decreases to normal after
strict Gluten free diet
23. HLA detection – DQ2 ,DQ8
• Indicates genetic predisposition
• Broadly distributed in population
• Seen in 95% of Celiac Disease patients
• Only 10 % of HLA DQ2 ,DQ8 develop Celiac
Disease
