Competences in digital reading and writing – which are included in Information Literacy – are essential to fully participate in the society of knowledge and face new schemes and approaches in educational processes, so as to be able to face the challenges of a global society which is more and more technologically demanding.
Training platforms and research, as well as the emergence of digital media and devices that give access to the Internet and allow the management, generation and dissemination of informa-tion, are producing changes in the reading and writing habits up to a point that we find ourselves in a new intervention paradigm where translation to digital is unavoidable and irrevocable.
We are interested in knowing the changes that are taking place and how is the transition to the consumption and use of digital information occurring among users of health-sciences libraries, since such libraries are pioneer providers of access to digital media for information users.

Vivimos en una era de la información, con más datos generados por los usuarios que se generan hoy que nunca con la gran popularidad de las redes sociales. Las plataformas de redes sociales brindan la capacidad de extraer inteligencia con fines de salud pública. Esto puede ir desde el uso de las redes sociales para rastrear la propagación de enfermedades hasta la extracción de opiniones de los puntos de vista y opiniones del público.
Las redes sociales tienen el potencial de proporcionar información rápida sobre el desarrollo de emergencias de salud pública, como los brotes de enfermedades infecciosas. También se pueden utilizar para obtener información rápida basada en encuestas sobre diversos temas de salud. Los profesionales médicos también han comenzado a utilizar las redes sociales con el propósito de compartir trabajos académicos, colaborar a nivel internacional y participar en debates políticos.
Un beneficio de las plataformas de redes sociales para obtener información sobre la salud es que tienen la capacidad de capturar la opinión pública sin filtrar en grandes volúmenes, evitando posibles sesgos introducidos por encuestas o entrevistas. Las plataformas de redes sociales también se pueden utilizar para realizar encuestas piloto, por ejemplo, mediante el uso de encuestas de Twitter.
Los datos de las redes sociales también se han utilizado en emergencias médicas y situaciones de crisis como herramienta de vigilancia de la salud pública. También existe una serie de software y herramientas en línea que se han desarrollado específicamente para ayudar en la investigación de salud pública utilizando datos de redes sociales. En los últimos años, también han surgido problemas éticos relacionados con la recuperación y el análisis de datos.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

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.
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
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.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

We are interested in knowing the changes involved in the transition to the
consumption and use of digital information among users of health-sciences
libraries
Objectives: To understand the reading, writing and information management
practices of health professionals in the East of Malaga Health Area.
Method: Using a specific questionnaire, we will gather information on the
professional and personal practices of a population sample consisting of 1300
health professionals working in different categories.
Results : We will establish a diagnosis of the current situation, to design an
action plan to enhance digital literacy among healthcare professionals.
TEEM16 - Doctoral Consortium
2. PROBLEM
STATEMENT
We know that any professional needs to be
technologically literate. One of the basic needs
of the professionals of health nowadays is to
access constantly to updated information, most
of it in digital format. Therefore, the
management of digital skills is essential for
them.
Antonia M Fernández -Luque
3. RESEARCH,
OBJECTIVES, GOALS
The objective of the current article is to present
the preliminary results obtained after analysing
the responses to a questionnaire designed to
detect the use of e-journals among health
professionals, which was distributed and
received for a period of 6 months in 2016. This
work has enabled the detection of possible
mistakes in the questionnaire design and its
validation.
Antonia M Fernández -Luque
4. METHODOLOGY
The methodological approach to research will be
the mixed model, using qualitative and
quantitative research techniques at different
stages.
Antonia M Fernández -Luque
5. POPULATION
TheTarget group: 1.300 Health professionals
of the East Health Management Area of
Málaga-Axarquía belonging to all the
professional categories .
We have studied their digital reading-writing
practices in the development of their
professional role and in the individual-
private field.
Antonia M Fernández -Luque
6. RESULTS
The present results have been extracted
from a survey designed with the aim to
explore the digital reading-writing habits
and practices and the use of the Information
and Communication Technologies to access
electronic information; the way in which
information is accessed, processed, saved,
generated and disseminated.
Antonia M Fernández -Luque
8. Demographic Data
Most of the respondents, 62%, are professionals
aged 40 to 60 who know digital books and
journals since the mid 90's, the end of the
Twentieth Century. Some of them have used
these materials in the development of their
professional practice just from 2006 onwards,
the moment when the Virtual Library of the
Andalusian Public Health Service was opened
and the journals started being subscribed
corporately only in its electronic format.
Antonia M Fernández -Luque
10. Professional role of
respondents
More than the 50 % of the respondents were
doctors in their training period; family doctors
and/or specialist doctors. They are followed by
the nurses and the administration workers.
Other categories are the upper grade students
and the professionals with undergraduate
studies.

Although most of the professionals use journals,
we have to highlight that the 18,5% don't know
how to use electronic journals and the reasons
why the 36% don't use them is that they don't
know how to do it, followed by the 28% who
state not to know where they can find them; the
25% prefer printed journals; a smaller
percentage doesn't know where to find them in
the library or declares that electronic journals
are very difficult to use.

14. Way to Access
About the way to access e-journals, the data
show that on finding a specific article, most of
the times they do it using bibliographic data
bases such as PubMed, EMBASE, Web of
science, Scopus, etc. followed by a websearch in
google, and other Internet browsers. In the third
place, the respondents mention the use of the
editorials websites, the use of the social
networks and the professional websites.

16. E-Book
Management
Information resources used in professional practice.
Regarding the electronic resources used for the
professional and personal practice, the printed
books and magazines are the most frequently used.
The electronic journals are the most demanded in
the professional practice. They don't know the
Google Scholar. For their personal use, they prefer
the personal websites, the on-line newspapers, the
networks and they don't use the podcasts or audio
books.

20. DISSERTATION
STATUS
• The respondents declare to find traditional
publications, such as journal articles and/or digital or
printed books, more reliable than other publishing
alternatives like forums, wikis, podcast, wikipedia or
publication in other media such as social networks.
• The respondents know their lack of ability and
competence in the use of digital information. Most of
them value their competence as poor or insufficient.
They attach a lot of importance to their training for the
acquisition of these competences and abilities in order
to be competent in the field of Information Literacy.

21. CONCLUSION
• Digital reality has modified the practices to access
information and knowledge. Getting to know this
reality will allow us to adopt informed decisions
in the knowledge society.
• We are facing the emergence of a new reading
and writing ecosystem which is changing the
value chain developed since the invention of the
printing press. The digital book and journals have
broken up the printed book ecosystem that has
lasted for five centuries giving way to the concept
of book as a net or as a service. These changes
have to be explored.

22. CONCLUSION
The technological changes in the origin of the current ways to
access scientific information and, particularly the way to
access digital books and journals, have transformed the way
to process, save, generate and transmit knowledge. This
situation affects the health science journals, which started
the transfer to the digital edition in the year 1996. The
emblematic The New England Journal of Medicine has
recently published a Infoographics about the new publication
patterns in a monograph which celebrates the first 20 years of
the journal in the web.

23. CONCLUSION
Societies and professional schools are aware of
this need, like the Royal College of Nursing in
the UK, which has published a document about
competencies ALFIN addressed to the nursing
professionals: Finding, using and managing
information: nursing, midwifery, health and
social care information literacy competences.
