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.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Fall signals start to holiday savings at commissary
By Sallie Cauthers,
DeCA marketing and mass communications specialist
FORT LEE, Va. – October represents the unofficial start of the holiday season for
commissary customers who want to see store promotions, giveaways and more opportunities for
discounts beyond their usual 30 percent or more savings, said the Defense Commissary Agency’s
director of sales.
“Whether it is celebrating Oktoberfest with friends or saluting friends and families from
afar with a big, plump, roasted turkey, your commissary wants you to know we are here for you
with extra savings and grand opportunities to enhance your commissary benefit,” said Chris
Burns, DeCA sales director.
“In October, we also recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” he added. “Several of
our industry partners are offering special in-store events that will be easily recognizable: They’ll
be pink!”
Throughout October, DeCA’s industry partners – vendors, suppliers and brokers – are
collaborating with commissaries to offer discounts beyond everyday savings. Overseas stores
may have substitute events for certain promotional programs. Customers are asked to check their
local commissary for details on dates and times for the following promotions:
Commissary Rewards Card. As of Sept. 24, more than 220 commissaries have
deployed the rewards card, and it’s on track to be in all stores by early fall. The card lets
authorized shoppers download digital coupons redeemable in commissaries. Customers
are asked to check with their local commissary to see if the card is available at their store.
2. “Home for the Holidays.” Dr. Pepper-Snapple is offering 20 families of four a fully
funded trip home. Sixteen families in the states will win a round-trip flight to anywhere
within the United States, lodging for six days and five nights and $1,000 cash for
expenses. Four families overseas will win a round-trip flight to anywhere in United
States, lodging for six days and five nights, and $1,000 cash for expenses. Winners will
have the opportunity to travel through March 2013. Check your local commissary
beginning Oct. 11 for Dr. Pepper/Snapple and Mott’s displays for entry boxes. Customers
who register their Commissary Rewards Cards by Oct. 24 can also enter the “Home for
the Holidays Sweepstakes.” The sweepstakes entry form appears at the end of the
registration process online.
National Breast Cancer Foundation. Oct. 14, P&G will be distributing high-value
coupons on their name-brand products found in their Brandsaver coupon booklet. For
every coupon redeemed, P&G will make a donation to the National Breast Cancer
Foundation to assist with early detection.
“Pink for the Cure.” From Sept. 27 to Oct. 24, General Mills will show its support for
breast cancer awareness with high-value coupons on pink packaging on select General
Mills brands.
Oktoberfest! Continuing through mid-October, commissary customers will find sales
and coupons for imported items from Germany and other European countries. A full line
of German products will be available: chocolates, cookies, sauerkraut, mustard, red
cabbage, pickles, noodles, coffee and more.
“From the Bases, To the Races.” Oct. 11-24, Scott, Kleenex, Huggies, Kotex, Clorox
and Bush’s products will offer commissary customers a chance to enter to win a grand
prize package for two that includes airfare, hotel, race tickets and pit passes to the
February 2013 Daytona 500 Nationwide and Nextel Cup races as well as a $300 Visa
cash card for meals and incidentals. In addition, 100 autographed mini hoods will be
awarded as first prizes. See NASCAR display in stores for more details. Commissaries in
European and the Pacific markets will have an alternate non-racing themed program
available.
Thanksgiving holiday meal. Beginning Oct. 25, commissary customers will be able to
purchase their complete Thanksgiving meal. The following industry partners – Kraft
Foods, ConAgra Foods, General Mills, Quaker Oats, Heinz, Fresh Express, Peppridge
Farm, P&G, Nestle Water and Hefty/Reynolds Wrap – will provide shoppers in the
3. United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) with a coupon booklet valued at more than
$40. Shoppers in Europe, Puerto Rico, Guantanamo Bay and the Pacific will receive a
special eight-page coupon fliers valued at more than $32. The booklet will also include
preparation tips and holiday recipes. These booklets and fliers will be handed out by
industry partners as well as be available in customized holders. Supplies of both the
booklets and fliers are limited.
“The Commissary Rewards Card is just one of many opportunities our customers will
have beginning this fall to extend their benefit,” Burns said. “The holidays are a busy period for
us. Look for plenty of promotions and savings events in your commissary.”
