Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva that lines the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, allergies, chemicals, or foreign objects in the eye. Symptoms include redness, itching, discharge, tearing, and pain. Treatment depends on the cause but may include antibiotic eyedrops, antiviral medication, or anti-inflammatory eyedrops. To prevent spread, good hygiene practices like handwashing and avoiding touching or sharing personal items near the eyes are important.

INTRODUCTION
is inflammation of the outermost layer of the white part
of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelid.
it makes the eye appear pink or reddish Pain, burning,
scratchiness, or itchiness may occur The affected eye may
have increased tears or be "stuck shut" in the morning
Swelling of the white part of the eye may also occur Itching
is more common in cases due to allergie Conjunctivitis can
affect one or both eyes
The important diseases recognized as responsible for visual impairment and blindness in India are cataract, refraction errors, glaucoma, conjunctivitis.
Mal nutrition and systemic disease are also important contributing factors.
Other causes include are eye injury, congenital disorders, retinal detachment, tumors, leprosy etc.
The visual disorder can be found as the following problems.
Amblyopia or subnormal vision in one or both eyes in spite of correction of significant refractive error.
Night blindness – it means inability to well at night or in faint light. It may occur in retinitis, choroidoretinistis, Vit A deficiency, retina toxic drugs.
Double Vision – It is found in squint, ptosis. It may be warning sign of increase IOP, brain tumor, orbital or myasthenia gravis.
Color blindness – It is a genetically determine condition in which color perception is defective or absent. Red and green color deficiency is the usual found. It can be detected at the age of 5 to 6 years’ age.
It is found in about 8% of the male population and is inherited as sex linked recessive trait. Color blindness may be total or partial there is no specific treatment.
Some main responsible disease for visual impairments in India :-
Conjunctivitis
Cataract
Refractory errors
Glaucoma
Retinopathy of Prematurity

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.

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.

Are you curious about what’s new in cervical cancer research or unsure what the findings mean? Join Dr. Emily Ko, a gynecologic oncologist at Penn Medicine, to learn about the latest updates from the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2024 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer. Dr. Ko will discuss what the research presented at the conference means for you and answer your questions about the new developments.
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.

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!
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.
4. Definition
• Conjunctivitis is an inflammation or infection of the
transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that lines the
eyelid and covers the white part of the eyeball.
• When small blood vessels in the conjunctiva become
inflamed, they're more visible. This is what causes the
white of the eyes to appear reddish or pink.
• Also known as “pink eye”
5. Risk factors
• Exposure to something for which the person have an
allergy (allergic conjunctivitis)
• Exposure to someone infected with the viral or
bacterial form of conjunctivitis
• Using contact lenses
6. Causes
• Viruses
• Bacteria
• Allergies
• A chemical splash in the eye
• A foreign object in the eye
• In newborns, a blocked tear duct
7. TYPESViral and bacterial conjunctivitis
• Viral conjunctivitis and bacterial conjunctivitis may affect one or both
eyes.
• Viral conjunctivitis usually produces a watery discharge. Bacterial
conjunctivitis often produces a thicker, yellow-green discharge.
• Both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis can be associated with colds or
with symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as a sore throat.
• Both viral and bacterial types are very contagious. They are spread
through direct or indirect contact with the eye secretions of someone
who's infected.
• Adults and children alike can develop both of these types of pink eye.
However, bacterial conjunctivitis is more common in children than it
is in adults.
8. Allergic conjunctivitis
• Allergic conjunctivitis affects both eyes and is a
response to an allergy-causing substance such as
pollen. In response to allergens, the body produces
an antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE).
• Most allergic conjunctivitis can be controlled with
allergy eyedrops.
9. Conjunctivitis resulting from irritation
• Irritation from a chemical splash or foreign object in the
eye is also associated with conjunctivitis.
• Sometimes flushing and cleaning the eye is done to get rid
of the chemical or object causing redness and irritation.
10. Pathophysiology
Microbes enter the eye on contact with infected objects
Inflammation of the eye
Dilation of blood vessels of eye
Swelling, redness, exudates and discharge
11. Symptoms
• Pain
• Redness in one or both eyes
(hyperemia)
• Itchiness in one or both eyes
• A discharge in one or both eyes
that forms a crust during the
night that may prevent your eye
or eyes from opening in the
morning i.e. exudation
• Tearing
• Photophobia
• Dropping of upper eye lid
• Periorbital cellulitis
• Fever
• Sore throat
• Runny nose
• A gritty feeling in one or
both eyes
12. Tests and diagnosis
• To determine whether the patient have pink eye, the
doctor will examine the eyes.
• The doctor may also take a sample of eye secretions
from the conjunctiva for laboratory analysis if the
patient have a very severe case of conjunctivitis, if the
corneas are affected or if the person've had repeated
infections that aren't responding to treatment.
13. Treatments and drugs
Treatment for bacterial conjunctivitis
• If the infection is bacterial, the doctor may prescribe antibiotic eyedrops as pink eye
treatment, and the infection should go away within several days.
• Antibiotic eye ointment, in place of eyedrops, is sometimes prescribed for treating
bacterial pink eye in children.
• An ointment is often easier to administer to an infant or young child than are eyedrops,
though the ointment may blur vision for up to 20 minutes after application.
• With either form of medication, expect signs and symptoms to start getting better in a few
days.
• Follow the doctor's instructions and use the antibiotics for the complete period prescribed
to prevent recurrence of the infection.
14. Treatment for viral conjunctivitis
• There is no treatment for most cases of viral conjunctivitis.
Instead, the virus needs time to run its course — up to two or
three weeks. Viral conjunctivitis often begins in one eye and
then infects the other eye within a few days. The signs and
symptoms should gradually clear on their own.
• Antiviral medications may be an option if the doctor
determines that the viral conjunctivitis is caused by the
herpes simplex virus.
15. Treatment for allergic conjunctivitis
• If the irritation is allergic conjunctivitis, the doctor may prescribe
one of many different types of eye drops for people with allergies.
• These may include medications that help control allergic reactions,
such as antihistamines or drugs that help control inflammation,
such as steroids and anti-inflammatory drops.
• The patient may also reduce the severity of allergic conjunctivitis
symptoms by avoiding whatever causes the allergies when
possible.
16. Lifestyle and home remedies
• Apply a compress to the eyes.
• Try eye drops.
• Stop wearing contact lenses.
• Reduce exposure to light.
• Prevent rubbing of the eye.
• Clean the eye using sterile water and cotton swabs, from inner
canthus to outer canthus
• Use of dark sunglasses is advised, in presence of photophobia.
17. Prevention
• Preventing the spread of pink eye
• Practice good hygiene to control the spread of pink eye. For instance:
• Don't touch your eyes with your hands.
• Wash your hands often.
• Use a clean towel and washcloth daily.
• Don't share towels or washcloths.
• Change your pillowcases often.
• Don’t use eye cosmetics, such as mascara.
• Don't share eye cosmetics or personal eye care items.
• Although pink eye symptoms may resolve in three or four days, children with viral
conjunctivitis may be contagious for a week or more. Children may return to school when
they no longer experience tearing and redness of eyes.
18. • If the child has bacterial conjunctivitis, keep him or her
away from school until after treatment is started.
Preventing pink eye in newborns
• Newborns' eyes are susceptible to bacteria normally
present in the mother's birth canal. These bacteria
cause no symptoms in the mother. In rare cases, these
bacteria can cause infants to develop a serious form of
conjunctivitis known as ophthalmia neonatorum, which
needs treatment without delay to preserve sight. That's
why shortly after birth, an antibiotic ointment is
applied to every newborn's eyes. The ointment helps
prevent eye infection.
19. Family teaching
• Prevent transmission of infection.
• Use of good hand washing after touching the eye.
• Use separate towel, sheet and pillow case foe infected child.
• Do not allow the medicine dropper to touch the child’s eyes
during medication instillation.
• Discard old contact lenses and use new ones after infection
has resolved.
