CHAPTER SIX
Struggling to Breathe
âEvery parent who comes to me now is talking about [air pollution]â, Dr Ankit Parakh tells me in his consulting room. A pulmonologist in paediatric medicine at BLK Super Speciality Hospital, he is on the front line of Delhiâs smog epidemic. The BLK is one of several huge, privately owned hospitals that sprang up since the Indian economy liberalised in 1991 and, like so much in Delhi, the divide between the haves and the have-nots is stark. Beggars, traders and rickshaws crowd around the hospital entrance and spill out into the road. Inside, the paediatric wing is full of kids with shiny Nike trainers and concerned parents tapping impatiently on smartphones. Framed photos of happy (and exclusively white) child models adorn the walls. Most patients are here for breathing and respiratory disorders. Approximately one in three adults in Delhi, and two in three children, have respiratory symptoms due to poor air quality.
âIn India the main problem starts around September, October â it peaks in November, then there is a down phase from December to February, and again peaks around March, April and May,â says Dr Parakh. As we speak it is currently the November peak. âAnywhere in these seasons sees a surge of asthma and wheezing patients.â Wheezing is a technical term. Asthma tends not to be diagnosed until around the age of five, because the symptoms in young children can resemble a wide range of other respiratory problems. Asthma-like symptoms therefore tend to be called âpre-school wheezeâ, which sometimes develops into asthma, sometimes not. âChildren who are exposed to air pollution, even pregnant mothers ⊠the risk of these children actually having wheezing or asthma is definitely there,â says Dr Parakh. âIt is also related to the birth weight of the child ⊠underweight children will have more wheezing episodes, the episodes are more severe, they are more difficult to control. And now it has been shown [air pollution] is not just a trigger that increases an underlying asthma, it is also an inducer which actually can generate an asthma ⊠And it is not just about respiratory issues, people have shown hypertension.â He pauses, and says again, eyeing the queue waiting outside, âThere is a lot of concern amongst parents.â
I donât keep Dr Parakh long, aware that his consulting hours are short. When I leave, however, he insists on showing me the way to the Metro station. I expect him to point out the direction as we reach the main BLK entrance, but in fact he walks me out and onto the road, into the throng of people and traffic that seemed so distant in the sterility of his consulting room. Crossing the road, his stethoscope and brilliant white coat wrap around him like a protective layer. No one dares bother him. A girl of maybe eight or nine is begging nearby. She is covered in dust, her hair matted to the thickness of a door mat. Every minute of her work and life takes place on Delhiâs roads, breathing in some of the ...

Authors Colin Carlson, Eric Dougherty, and Wayne Getz discuss the threats that Zika virus has on our environment. They explain how Zika is a major threat even in extreme climate change. The authors also believe that although the virus is more constrained than other diseases, it continues to affect our ecology. They believe that restricting these tropic areas may decrease the spread of the mosquito-borne disease. I find this to be significant to my paper because itâs a great example of how climate change can affect someones health.

Authors Kristie Ebi and Joshua Nealon focus on Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne disease occurring in tropical and subtropical areas. Climate change is one of the main reasons for the spread of this disease, which continues to rise over the years.

The authors believe that the biggest factors are rain and precipitation, almost impossible to control in tropic areas.

COVID-19 And Its Effects
The Coronavirus known as COVID-19 is a virus that affects the respiratory system. The acronym CO in COVID stands for corona, VI stands for the virus, and D stands for the disease (Azcentral, n.d.). Currently, there is no cure for coronavirus, although some of its symptoms can be treated by getting early care. COIVD-19 is a significant issue in the healthcare industry at the moment because the most affected are those with long-lasting medical ailments such as heart diseases and diabetes. The elderly and babies also stand a high risk. This is because they have low immunity. This paper expounds on the effects and preventions of coronavirus and how healthcare industry is making the most effective changes. Comment by Pamela Czapla: Good to see the left-justified adjustment. Comment by Pamela Czapla: This needs to be a direct quote:CO stands for corona, VI stands for virus, and D stands for disease.
Effects Comment by Pamela Czapla: Good formatting adjustment.
Coronavirus has dramatically affected the ordinary daily lives of people in an attempt to stop its spread. It has led to an increase in mortality rates for many all over the world. The pandemic has affected hundreds of countries in a matter of weeks. Remuzzi and Remuzzi (2020), argues that while Italy has been mainly affected, control events in China have reduced new cases by more than 90%, which is not the case elsewhere. Comment by Pamela Czapla: Awkward Comment by Pamela Czapla: What is your source for this statement. Comment by Pamela Czapla: This paragraph is quite choppy. It starts out saying that it has affected many and ends by saying China reduced cases by 90%.
Travel Restrictions Comment by Pamela Czapla: The different sections come out of nowhere. The reader has no idea why youâre jumping from effects to travel, etc.The introduction should lay out the reason for the writing and what it will discuss.
Due to the increasing rate of the spread of the Coronavirus across the globe, many nations have decided to close down their countries to prevent international spread. This prevented the movement of people from country to country and later just allowing the transportation of goods. According to CDC (2020) travel restriction is been encouraged whether itâs by air, bus or train, car, and RV travel. Because if traveled by air, there are airport terminals and waiting lines where you can easily come in contact with other people and also infected surfaces. Comment by Pamela Czapla: Noun/verb agreement. Comment by Pamela Czapla: I donât see travel mentioned in this source.I guess one can see this discussion in the travel section. Comment by Pamela Czapla: Not a sentence.
If traveling is necessary, a good amount of medicine to last through the trip is needed, pack a hand full of.

NVBDCP.pptx Nation vector borne disease control programSapna Thakur
Â
NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

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.
Bowmanâs 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

Gardiner Harris was the South Asia correspondent of the New York
Times for the last three years. He writes a very grim account of
pollution in Delhi. Many will feel Harris's account is exaggerated, but
if this is how expats feel about the city's air, there is a clear risk of
Delhi being regarded as a blackhole in Western capitals.
That, in turn, could threaten India's quest for economic growth and
global stature

For weeks the breathing of my 8-year-old son, Bram, had become more laboured,
his medicinal inhaler increasingly vital. And then, one terrifying night nine months
after we moved to this megacity , Bram's inhaler stopped working and his gasping
became panicked. My wife called a friend, who recommended a private hospital
miles away . I carried Bram to the car while my wife brought his older brother. My
wife sat in the back seat, cradling Bram's head.
When we arrived, doctors infused him with steroids (and refused to provide further
treatment until a $1,000 charge on my credit card went through). A week later,
Bram was able to return home.
When I became South Asia correspondent for The New York Times three years ago,
my wife and I were both excited and prepared for difficulties -insistent beggars,
endemic dengue and summertime temperatures that reach 120 degrees
Fahrenheit. But we had little inkling just how dangerous this city would be for our
boys.

We gradually learned that Delhi's true menace came from its air, water, food and
flies. These perils sicken, disable and kill millions in India annually , making for one
of the worst public health disasters in the world. Delhi, we discovered, is quietly
suffering from a dire pediatric respiratory crisis, with a recent study showing that
nearly half of the city's 4.4 million schoolchildren have irreversible lung damage.
For most Indians, health hazards are inescapable horrors. But there are thousands
of others who have chosen to live here, including some trying to save the world,
others hoping to describe it and still others intent on getting their own small piece
of it.
It is an eclectic community of expatriates and millionaires, including car executives
from Detroit, tech geeks from the Bay Area and cancer researchers from Maryland
and diplomats from Dublin.
Over the last year, often over chai and samosas at local dhabas or whisky and
chicken tikka at glittering embassy parties, we have obsessively discussed whether
we are pursuing our careers at our children's expense.

Foreigners have lived in Delhi for centuries, of course, but the air and the mounting
research into its effects have become so frightening that some feel it is unethical for those
who have a choice to willingly raise children here.
Similar discussions are doubtless underway in Beijing and other Asian megacities, but it is
in Delhi -among the most populous, polluted, unsanitary and bacterially unsafe cities on
earth -where the new calculus seems most urgent. The city's air is more than twice as
polluted as Beijing's, according to the World Health Organization.
So many of our friends have decided to leave that the American Embassy School -this city's
great expat institution -is facing a steep drop in admissions next fall. My pastor, who
ministers to a largely expat parish here, told me he feared he would lose 60% of his
congregants this summer.
We nearly left two years ago, after Bram's first hospitalization. Even after his breathing
stabilized, tests showed that he had lost half his lung function. On our doctor's advice, we
placed him on routine steroid therapy and decided that as long as his breathing did not
worsen again, we could stay in Delhi.

Or at least I decided that. My wife seriously considered flying home immediately ,
and at the end of a summer visit to the United States with the kids months later,
sobbed for hours on the return flight to Delhi.
But after our second year here, Bram seemed fine. His earlier difficulties, though,
led me to call some leading air pollution experts. The conversations were sobering.
âKnowing that I was putting my kids in a place that compromised their health for
their lifetimes would be difficult given all of the scientific evidence,â said W James
Gauderman, a professor of preventive medicine at the University of Southern
California.He is the co-author of a landmark 2004 study showing that children
raised in parts of Los Angeles -where pollution levels are a fraction of Delhi's -face
significant and probably permanent losses of lung function.
Sarath Guttikunda, one of India's top pollution researchers, who moved to Goa, to
protect his two young children, was unequivocal: âIf you have the option to live
elsewhere, you should not raise children in Delhi.â

These and other experts told me that reduced lung capacity in adults is a highly
accurate predictor of early death and disability -perhaps more than elevated blood
pressure or cholesterol. So by permanently damaging their lungs in Delhi, our
children may not live as long.
And then there are nascent areas of research suggesting that pollution can lower
children's IQ, hurt their test scores and increase the risks of autism, epilepsy ,
diabetes and even adult-on set diseases like multiple sclerosis.
It's not just the air that inflicts harm. At least 600 million Indians, half the to tal
population, defecate outdoors, and most of the effluent, even from toilets, is
dumped untreated into rivers and streams. Still, I never thought this would come
home to my family quite as dramatically as it did.
We live in a four-year-old, five-story apartment building that my wife chose
because its relatively new windows could help shut out Delhi's appalling night time
air.About six months after we moved in, one of our neighbors reported that her tap
water suddenly smelled like sewage.

Then the smell hit another neighbor and another. It turned out that the
developer had dug open channels for sewage that had gradually seeped into
each apartment's buried water tank. When we pulled up the floor tiles on
the ground floor, brown sludge seemed to be everywhere.
Most piped water here is contaminated.Poor sanitation may be a crucial
reason nearly half of India's children are stunted.
The list of health threats sounds harrowing when considered together, but
life goes on and can be quite nice here.Our apartment building eventually
installed aboveground water tanks. My children's school and travel in the
region are terrific, and many expats are far more influential here than they
would be in their home countries.
Yet one afternoon this spring, someone in our neighborhood burned
something toxic, and an astringent cloud spread around our block.

My wife was out walking with a friend, and their eyes became teary and their
throats began to close. They bolted back inside our apartment where they
found Bram gasping again, for the first time in two years. In some places in
Delhi, the levels of fine particles that cause the most lung damage, called
PM2.5, routinely exceed 1,000 in winter in part because small trash and
other fires are so common, according to scientists. In Beijing, PM2.5 levels
that exceed 500 make international headlines; here, levels twice that high
are largely ignored.
There is a growing expatriate literature, mostly out of China, describing the
horrors of air pollution, the dangers to children and the increasingly
desperate measures taken for protection. These accounts mostly end with
the writers deciding to remain despite the horrors.
