Colon cancer develops slowly over many years, usually beginning as a non-cancerous polyp in the colon or rectum. Regular screening through tests such as fecal occult blood tests, flexible sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy can find polyps before they become cancerous. Finding and removing polyps can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 60-90%. If colon cancer is detected early through screening, it is often highly curable. The document recommends regular screening beginning at age 50 or earlier for those with risk factors like family history of colon cancer.

Modelling your way out of the poo: predicting the impact of early diagnosis o...David Halsall
Diagnosing and treating cancer cost £6bn per year, a disease that will affect one in three of us during our lifetime. Despite year-on-year improvements in cancer treatment the UK still trails other OECD counties for cancer outcomes. Better prevention, screening and early detection were identified in the 2011 NHS Cancer Outcome Strategy as ways to reduce the growth in incidence of cancer and improve one and five year survival. from diagnosis. Bowel cancer detection and treatment has improved but still lags when compared with other developed nations. A major program of bowel cancer screening has been rolled out in England with the aim of detecting and removing pre-cancerous polyps. A national advertising campaign has been used to raise awareness of cancer symptoms to encourage patients not to delay in contacting their doctor when they have “blood in their poo”. A hybrid model has been developed to link through from the early patient behavioural aspects of cancer detection through to outcomes. The hybrid approaches uses a discrete event simulation to represent the pre-cancerous stages through to initial contact points with the NHS and then onto to diagnosis and staging by the multi multidisciplinary teams (MDT). From the stage of diagnosis a probabilistic pathways model was used to predict annual costs and mortality for up to 10 years after initial diagnosis. This approach permitted developing a total lifetime cost measure for patients with a cancer diagnosis and the ability to test out how this might change with different policy options. Early modeling results have assisted the better understanding of the medium and long term implications of policies on bowel cancer and have helped set priorities to improve outcomes

Colorectal Cancer Screening for Family Physicians - What's NewJarrod Lee
Colorectal cancer is the the most common cancer in Singapore and in many developed countries. The past decade has seen many countries implement colorectal cancer screening programs to decrease its mortality. Established cancer programs utilize tests such as fecal occult blood and colonoscopy to detect colorectal cancer in its early stages or even in its precancerous adenoma stage. Studies in recent years reinforce the benefit, accuracy and risks of these screening modalities. Nonetheless, screening rates remain suboptimal. The past 5 years have seen many new advances in colorectal cancer screening, including new screening modalities. Of these, 3 new modalities have already been approved by the US FDA and in various parts of the world. There are: stool DNA test, blood septin 9 test, and capsule colonoscopy. We discuss about these new developments in colorectal cancer screening and how they may impact our practice in the near future.
Pancreatic Cysts: A Contemporary ApproachJarrod Lee
Pancreatic cysts are increasingly found during abdominal imaging. Although the majority will not cause any problems, a minority may enlarge or become malignant. We present a contemporary approach to managing pancreatic cysts, utilizing the latest evidence, technologies and endoscopic procedures. We identify which cysts need surveillance or even surgery, and which can be safely ignored.

Cancer strikes people of all ages, but you are more likely to get cancer as you get older, even if no one in your family has ever had cancer. The good news is that cases of cancer and death rates are going down. That means that no matter what your age, the chances of surviving cancer are better today than ever before.
Do not die of colon cancer press message 2Innocent Atuhe
Colon cancer is one of the commonest cancers in Uganda. But it can be prevented. It can be easily detected using a cost effective easily accessible screening method (FOBT)
Screening is recommended every ten years beginning at the age of 50 for both men and women. Incidence and consequential death rates are significantly higher in African Americans as compared to Caucasians. Thus, earlier screening, around the age of 45, is advised for people of the African American demographic.

http://www.antonbilchikmd.com/ | Colorectal cancer is a top killer -- one of the most commonly diagnosed forms of cancer. Early detection and treatment are essential to halting this disease.
Rectal cancer grows in the rectum cells which are placed beneath the sigmoid colon and over the anus in our body. The rectal and colon that are present in the body come together, that is colorectal cancer. The reason behind these circumstances is that they both are part of the digestive system.

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.

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.
