[Infographic] The Whole Picture: Caregivers Provide an Extra Level of CareHome Helpers
Are doctor visits enough to keep elderly loved ones happy, healthy and well?
According to the Administration on Aging, 23% of people aged 75+ had 10 or more visits to a doctor or other health care professional in the past year. Many say that they are happy with their care, but studies are showing that seniors may not be getting the complete continuum of care they need.
When you take a look at the whole picture, in addition to their physician, you may want to consider an in-home caregiver to fill in the gaps in your loved one’s care plan.

Understanding the vocabulary of health insurance helps in selecting and using coverage effectively. eHealthInsurance commissioned a national study to determine public awareness of select health insurance terminology and the specifics of health insurance coverage. Americans admit to a health insurance vocabulary deficit.
Only a fourth (23%) feel they are very sure of what the terminology used in their health insurance policy actually means.
A third are somewhat sure of what the terminology actually means (32%).
One-fourth are not very sure (13%) or have no idea (10%) what the terminology used in their health insurance policy means.
One-fifth report they don’t have health insurance (21%).
The public demonstrates its lack of familiarity with health insurance terminology by not knowing what some of the key abbreviations stand for.
Only one-third of Americans (36%) can volunteer that HMO stands for health maintenance organization.
Only one-fifth (20%) recall that PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization.
Only one out of nine (11%) recalls that HSA stands for Health Savings Account.
When asked how sure they were with some of the specifics of their health insurance policy, most people said they were very sure of the amount of their co-payment (61%), but half or fewer were very sure they knew the amounts of other basic elements of their coverage:
Half said they were very sure of what they paid for their health insurance premiums (50%).
45% were very sure of their annual deductible.
41% were very sure of the level of their plan’s co-insurance.
35% were very sure of their maximum annual out-of-pocket costs.
For each of these items, one-fifth indicated that the questions were not relevant since they did not have health insurance (21%).

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
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!

engagement alike – and having a regular personal doctor does not

Rx for patient engagement
connectedness and continuity pave the path to patient empowerment and
engagement
information is essential;
• it predicts self-efficacy even when connectedness and continuity are held
constant
• …and it does so more strongly than education, income, gender, race and other
demographic variables

and a word on measurement
(inspired by our literature reviews)
• attitudinal measurements in non-probability samples are not generalizable
•aapor task force report (2010)
• agree/disagree and yes/no questions are inherently biasing
•Saris et al., Survey Research Methods (2010) 4/1: 61-79
• unlabeled or partially labeled number scales often lack internal validity
•Krosnick & Fabrigar, Sociological Methods & Research (2009) 37: 393-
425
• knowledge is problematic to measure in an opinion survey format
•challenges are cognitive, measurement-based and definitional
• data analysis is enriched by rigorous statistical modeling

Editor's Notes
first report: focuses on patient-provider relationships
how connected do patients feel with their providers, and does it matter?
what stands behind expressed preferences for a traditional doctor-patient relationship? are patients open to alternatives?
do alternative models establish the connectedness that patients seek?
second report: examines shared decision making and, more broadly, the drivers of patient empowerment and engagement
what’s behind reluctance to engage in care decisions?
what is the relationship between information and empowerment? how do these relate to patient engagement?
how do connectedness and continuity fit into the equation?
can a data-driven model of patient engagement be constructed?
the real takeaway from this chart is how universally high interest in shared decision making rises when accompanied by clear information. For example, the 25 point education gap shrinks to 7 points (a non significant difference).
Controlling for other factors, the results of this survey show that connectedness and continuity predict “empowerment”
outcomes – feeling well-informed, being comfortable asking questions of care providers, understanding providers’ answers
and being confident in the ability to make healthcare decisions. Feeling well-informed also independently predicts the
other three empowerment items. And each of the empowerment measures predicts “engagement,” that is, taking a role
in healthcare decisions – a key goal of patient-centered care.
those who have a connection are 27pts more likely to feel very informed about their health.
those who have continuity are 21pts more likely to feel very informed.
Notably, the extent to which patients feel informed about their health and confident about taking a role in their care decisions predicts their engagement independently of – and more strongly than – their education, income, gender, race/ethnicity, language spoken at home, and the type of care facility they use. That suggests that clear information can help level the healthcare playing field across population groups.
also works for satisfaction with current amount of say – more empowered patients are more likely to be satisfied with the amount of say they currently have.
while a regular personal doctor is still the preferred method of establishign connectedness and continuity, it is not the only way.
Many are open to seeing a non-doctor care provider, especially under specific negative circumstances (e.g., when getting an appointment with a doctor is more difficult). And interest in new alternative care models is high.
54% of those who have a private doctor overall have someone who knows them well.
51% of those who have a private doctor (but no team-based care) have someone who knows them well.
In part because team-based care establishes the connectedness patients seek (as we’ll show in the model later), those who have team-based care are also more likely to feel satisfied with their care, feel very informed about their health, and report being able to always understand their providers explanations. BUT team-based care is a unique predictor of empowerment even when you control for having a personal connection and having a personal doctor, etc.
