Diabetic neuropathy is a serious and common complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Ocurres over 90% of diabetes people.
Presence of symptoms and or signs of nerve dysfunction in people with diabetes after all other causes have been excluded.
It’s a type of nerve damage caused by long-term high blood sugar levels.
The condition usually develops slowly, sometimes over the course of several decades.
Distal Symmetrical Neuropathy(DSN) most common form of DN.
DSN affects the toes and distal foot, but slowly progresses proximally to involve the feet and legs in a stocking distribution.
It is also characterized by a progressive loss of nerve fibers affecting both the autonomic and somatic divisions, thereby diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy can occur.
Foot ulceration and painful neuropathy are the main clinical consequences of DSPN, linked with higher morbidity and mortality
The presence of symptoms and/or signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in people with diabetes after exclusion of other causes is called diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
The diagnosis is principally a clinical one. Patients with type 1 diabetes for 5 or more years and all patients with type 2 diabetes should be assessed annually.Treatment goals include
good glycemic control,symptomatic treatment and halt progressive nerve damage.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

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.

Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes

Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
2. Diabetic neuropathy is a serious and common
complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Ocurres over 90% of diabetes people.
Presence of symptoms and or signs of nerve
dysfunction in people with diabetes after all other
causes have been excluded.
It’s a type of nerve damage caused by long-term
high blood sugar levels.
The condition usually develops slowly,
sometimes over the course of several decades.
3. Distal Symmetrical Neuropathy(DSN) most common form
of DN.
DSN affects the toes and distal foot, but slowly progresses
proximally to involve the feet and legs in a stocking
distribution.
It is also characterized by a progressive loss of nerve fibers
affecting both the autonomic and somatic divisions, thereby
diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy can occur.
Foot ulceration and painful neuropathy are the main clinical
consequences of DSPN, linked with higher morbidity and
mortality
6. OXIDATIVE STRESS
As mentioned in polyol pathway
However, oxidative stress could be also initiated by autoxidation of glucose and
their metabolites, increased intracellular formation of Advanced Glycation
Endproducts
oxidative stress is caused by enhanced free radical formation due to glucose
metabolism itself and/or deficits in antioxidant defense and it may play a major
role among the putative pathogenic mechanisms of diabetic neuropathy.
7. MICROVASCULAR CHANGES
In clinical and preclinical studies, it was found that in DNP peripheral
perfusion is reduced, not only in the nervous tissue, but also in the skin,
being an important physiological evidence of microvasculature alteration.
As a result, nerve ischemia occurs
Causing electrical instability, progressive nerve loss in proximal and distal
segments
another structural modification related to hyperglycemia is myelin sheath
alteration. The observed demyelinization can be related to Schwann cells
altered capacity to support normal myelin sheath
8. DIAGNOSIS
• Overall muscle strength and tone
• Tendon reflexes
• Sensitivity to touch and vibration
• Filament test. Your doctor will brush a soft nylon fiber (monofilament)
over areas of your skin to test your sensitivity to touch.
• Sensory testing. This noninvasive test is used to tell how your nerves
respond to vibration and changes in temperature.
• Nerve conduction testing. This test measures how quickly the nerves
in your arms and legs conduct electrical signals. It's often used to
diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Muscle response testing. Called electromyography, this test is often
done with nerve conduction studies. It measures electrical discharges
produced in your muscles.
• Autonomic testing. Special tests may be done to determine how your
blood pressure changes while you are in different positions, and whether
you sweat normally.
9. TREATEMENT
The goals of treatment are to:
• Slow progression of the disease
• Relieve pain
• Manage complications and restore
function
10. Slowing progression of the disease
Consistently keeping your blood sugar
within your target range is the key to
preventing or delaying nerve damage.
Good blood sugar management may
even improve some of your current
symptoms.
11. PHARMACOTHERAPY
Three different agents have regulatory approval in the United States for the treatment
of DNP:
pregabalin (75-150 mg/day), duloxetine (60 mg/day) and tapentadol (100mg/day)
Anticonvulsants-Pregabalin was the first anticonvulsant to receive approval from
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of DNP
Gabapentin also used. ( 600mg/day)
Antidepressants-Antidepressants represent the first line drugs in DNP management.
Duloxetine, a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, is rated level A for
efficacy and is approved in the United States for the treatment of this condition.
Venlafaxine, TCA like Amitriptyline, nortriptyline etc.
Opioids- Morphine, Tapendatol
OTHER AGENTS
Lidocaine patch, Capsaicin topical cream (0.025% to 0.075%), Alpha lipoic acid,
Isosorbide dinitrate etc.
12. Final considerations about DNP
treatment:
Diabetic complications can be reduced with improved
blood glucose control and other lifestyle interventions
The medications rated as level A based on their efficacy
are able to reduce pain and improve some aspects of
patients’ quality of life, but are not able to fully
eliminate pain or prevent/revert the neuropathy.
Even their combination does not result in satisfactory
pain control, being the best improvement in pain,
restricted to 50% of relief for the majority of the
patients.
