Dementia is a syndrome involving progressive loss of memory and cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. The document discusses including persons with dementia in individual and major life decisions through participation in services and influencing improvements and community involvement. It finds that when persons with dementia are enabled to communicate, they provide important perspectives on supporting daily living and their experiences. The document concludes inclusion of persons with dementia is challenging but important, and requires sustained efforts at multiple levels from individuals, organizations, and funders to ensure good practices are widespread.
Dementia-Contemporary perspectives for Social Inclusion of persons with DementiaDr. Johnsey Thomas
Dementia is not a specific disorder or disease. It is a syndrome (group of symptoms) associated with a progressive loss of memory and other intellectual functions or a clinical state characterized by loss of function in multiple cognitive domains that is serious enough to interfere with performing the tasks of daily life. Asking people with dementia their views may be difficult, but it does not mean it cannot be done”

Breaking the Stigma The Rise of Mental Health as a Global Priority.pdfOnkarWeginwar1
Once relegated to the shadows, mental health has emerged as a critical global concern. The stigma surrounding mental health is gradually dissipating as societies recognize the profound impact of mental well-being on individuals, communities, and economies. This whitepaper explores the growing awareness of mental health issues, the efforts to break down stigmas, and the steps governments, organizations, and individuals take to prioritize mental health globally.
Counselors play a critical role in helping people who are experiencing mental or emotional problems to get their lives back on track. And it is one of the treatment options for mentally ill peoples for its deal with wellness, personal growth, and career, education, and empowerment concerns. The purpose of the study is to assess the practice of counseling and its effectiveness in Jimma University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) and Amanuel Mental Health Specialized Hospital (AMHSH). It guided by mixed research design, quantitative and qualitative data about study variables was collected from 123 patients from both institutions, Qualitative data were analyzed by direct quotation according to the theme of the questions. Descriptive percentage and ANOVA analysis were used to analyze quantitative data. Descriptive statistics showed that there is a difference in the applications of counseling within the institution Analysis of ANOVA showed counseling is more effective in the treatment of depression and substance abuse. The difference in counseling provision in both institutions is also supported by qualitative analysis of the data. So, JUTH has to incorporate counseling service in the part of treatment, and AMUSH has to work on addressing a huge number of in need patients by expanding the institution.
Presentation on Dementia .Dementia in Bangladesh.pptxMotahar Alam
Dementia, a multifaceted condition affecting millions worldwide, presents a unique challenge to both individuals and societies. In this presentation, we delve into the intricacies of dementia, offering a comprehensive exploration of its various forms, symptoms, and impacts on individuals and their families.
We begin by unraveling the scientific underpinnings of dementia, shedding light on the neurological processes that contribute to cognitive decline. From Alzheimer's disease to vascular dementia and beyond, we examine the diverse range of conditions that fall under the umbrella of dementia, each with its own distinct characteristics and challenges.
Moving beyond the clinical aspect, we explore the profound personal and societal ramifications of dementia. Through compelling case studies and firsthand accounts, we illuminate the lived experiences of those affected by dementia, highlighting the emotional toll it takes on individuals and their loved ones.
Moreover, we address the pressing need for increased awareness and understanding of dementia within our communities. By dispelling myths and misconceptions surrounding the condition, we strive to foster a more compassionate and inclusive society that supports individuals living with dementia.
Ultimately, this presentation serves as a call to action, urging stakeholders from all sectors to join forces in the fight against dementia. Through education, advocacy, and innovation, we can work towards a future where individuals with dementia receive the care, respect, and dignity they deserve
8. Recovery Oriented Services in Mental Health and Addiction Management.pdfKingsleyOkonoda
Recovery from mental illness involves much more than recovery from the illness itself. People with mental illness(es) may have to recover from the stigma that they incorporated into their very being; from the iatrogenic effects of treatment settings; from the lack of recent opportunities for self-determination; from the negative side effects of unemployment; and crushed dreams.

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!

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
