ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

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

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.

Introduce yourself and the presentation
Name and designation
I'm here today to talk about GameUp which is a research project about game-based mobility training and motivation for senior citizens
Or more specifically, our work with game design and production in this area of research
Based in Tromsø, Norway, way up north which is an unlikely place to find a video game company
But that's because we were formerly working for EA/ Playfish and Tromsø was one of its many studios at the height of the social game boom – second only to Zynga – before the mobile/tablet revolution took over and the studio was closed down in 2012
The good news is that 3 brave new studios formed out of this, leading to a healthy game development scene in Tromsø
We have a rather eclectic range of projects
The first on the top left an interactive book that we're developing for young kids right up to social media campaigns and web pages we design for clients in Tromsø
Presented one of our serious game project funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Environment– Super Scrap Squad at a conference in Tromsø last year which was a project targeted at youths and motivate them to recycle by using elements of fantasy and super heroism
Caught the attention of a key GameUp partner, Norut who was also presenting their work with elderly gamers
Roped in to replace an earlier game developer in the consortium
to focus on game design and co-development
Effectively started mid-way to the project at the end of 2013
7 partners in total – Norway, Spanish, Swiss
AAL Research Project that will end sometime in 2015
For us it was a fantastic opportunity to learn the subtleties of designing games for the elderly
Great opportunity to involve ourselves with research work which is a growing sector particulalrly in tromsø
3 key things
Indoor portion with Kinect
Outdoor portion with a step counter – in our case Fitbit
A portal for caregivers and medical professionals to set parameters and analytics of our elderly users
Exercises developed by Klinikken Valens our swiss partner
Based on exercises catered for the target audience to improve their mobility
Range of motion, strength and balance
To improve their overall capabilities
This was the early prototype before we joined in
Apple-picking – A combination of several exercises
Proof of concept – no story to it yet
Physiotherapist testing out that it works
User feedback – very different from what we who have been working on commercial game design are used to
Color
Text
Slow pace- mobility impairments
– not too many on-screen artifacts
How can we engage a user group that has not been exposed to games?
Analyze the work done so far by the GameUp partners
Talking with the user group
Design a game specifically for the user group that ties all the elements together
Borrow from our experience as social game designers
Created a design brief to start from
Farmville!
But also a good point of reference that most of our elderly users can relate to on an emotional level
We've so far focused on building on the apple-picking you saw earlier but other mini-games
New prototype – taking in elements of our game design documentation
A party! Which can only happen once the users complete the tasks which adds a social dimension to the game design
We have shown our users the prototype and our user group started to get excited – have a connection with the universe we're presenting
No concrete research findings but moving into clinical trials and we're very excited to see the results
The work in game development for elderly is still at an early stage
Lots of potential for better story-centric game design to better engage this user group and for game designers such as us to contribute
Take elements from well established game design and consider better ways to modify it for our user group
Feel free to contact us for enquiries and thank you for your attention
