We will present the social reality and difficulties that the female pioneers of modern science had to face. Lise Meitner, Chien-Shiung Wu, Jocelyn Bell o Rosalind Franklin should be as well known names as Max Planck, Max Born, Robert Oppeheimer, James D.Watson o Francis Crick, however, they sound very unknown, even for a physics student. Lise Meitner was the one who discovered, understood and explained nuclear fission.; Chien-Shiung Wu proved parity violation; Jocelyn Bell measured the first Pulsar and Rosalind Franklin discovered the double helix of DNA. Without their contributions, science would not be at the same stage of development as it is today. Because of being females, these great scientists had to face extra difficulties and none of them was properly recognized. The lack of female role models is still nowadays a barrier between women and scientific career and therefore it is important to claim their contribution in history.
Maybe you've ever wondered that women were just furniture in society, trained to be in the background to be seen not heard. To be used as slaves for men. While this is all true, women have also added greatly to society, we have made huge steps in human developments. These are just a few examples of women who changed the world. Read through to learn about them and their amazing achievements.

Social Change After World War I
Radio was an early example of mass media, linking people over long distances. Here, an invalid woman uses radio to keep in touch with events in the outside world.
The catastrophe of World War I shattered the sense of optimism that had grown in the West since the Enlightenment. Despair gripped survivors on both sides as they added up the staggering costs of the war. Europeans mourned a generation of young men who had been lost on the battlefields.
Many people talked about a “return to normalcy,” to life as it had been before 1914. But rebellious young people rejected the moral values and rules of the Victorian Age and chased after excitement. Gertrude Stein, an American writer living in Paris, called them the “lost generation.” Others saw them as immoral pleasure-seekers.
The Roaring Twenties During the 1920s, new technologies helped create a mass culture shared by millions in the world’s developed countries. Affordable cars, improved telephones, and new forms of media such as motion pictures and radio brought people around the world closer together than ever before.
Duke Ellington was a composer, pianist, and bandleader. He referred to his music as "American Music" rather than "jazz." His career spanned the 1920s to the 1970s.
In the 1920s, many radios tuned into the new sounds of jazz. In fact, the decade in the West is often called the Jazz Age. African American musicians combined Western harmonies with African rhythms to create jazz. Jazz musicians, like trumpeter Louis Armstrong and pianist Duke Ellington, took simple melodies and improvised endless subtle variations in rhythm and beat.
Throughout the 1920s, the popularity of jazz moved from the United States to Europe. Europeans embraced American popular culture, with its greater freedom and willingness to experiment. The nightclub and jazz were symbols of that freedom. Jazz came to embody the universal themes of creativity and self-expression.
Much of today’s popular music has been influenced by jazz. It has transcended the "Roaring Twenties" American culture to become an international musical language.
After the war, rebellious young people, disillusioned by the war, rejected the moral values and rules of the Victorian Age and chased after excitement. During the Jazz Age, this rebellion was exemplified by a new type of liberated young woman called the flapper. The first flappers were American, but their European sisters soon adopted the fashion. Flappers rejected old ways in favor of new, exciting freedoms.
The Flapper awoke from her lethargy (tiredness) ... bobbed her hair, put on her choicest pair of earrings and a great deal of audacity (boldness) and rouge and went into battle. She flirted because it was fun to flirt and ... refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring ... Mothers disapproved of their sons taking the Flapper to dances, to teas, to swim, and most of all to heart.
—Zelda Fitzgerald, flapper and wife of author F. Scott Fitzge.

Chapter 9
Science, Technology, and the
Future of African Americans
Science
The intellectual and practical activity
encompassing the systematic study of the
structure and behavior of the physical and
natural world through observation and
experiment.
Technology
The application of scientific knowledge for
practical purposes, especially in industry;
Machinery and equipment developed from the
application of scientific knowledge;
The branch or knowledge dealing with
engineering or applied science
Popular Culture is increasingly supplanting
science as the major purveyor of cultural
imagery, values, and interpretations of social
and physical phenomena.
It's not magic, it’s Science!
Science is the process and the body of knowledge that enables us humans
to know nature. So far, it’s the best idea we’ve ever had.

The pop idol turned science idol, Professor Brian Edward Cox is a British physicist and professor of particle physics at the
University of Manchester. He is best recognized as the presenter of science programs for the British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC).
After presenting six programmes about physics, Prof Cox and his TV mentor, BBC head of science Andrew Cohen, felt he
was ready to make a blockbuster series of his own. Wonders of the Solar System established his mass appeal in 2010.
Today, after the airing of Wonders of the Universe, Wonders of Life and Human Universe, and countless appearances on
other programmes he is the undisputed heir apparent to David Attenborough as Britain’s premier presenter of science.
Science is too important not to be a part of popular culture.

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.
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
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
2. The evolution of woman over time
• The condition of women is changing much
in the time.
• In ancient times the woman was considered
inferior for her physical appearance and for
her abilities; she was excluded from
everyday activities including political,
sporting and social activities.
• In Ancient Greece, women were prohibited
from attending sporting events and applying
for public office. Their duty was to take care
of the house and look after their children.
• They didn't have right to vote and could not
exercise their will.
3. Women in
literature
• In English literature, many women
had published their books in an
anonymized form so as not to be
recognized as such.
• At the beginning of the eighteenth
century female discrimination was
still present but in these years
women had fight for her rights
and assumes an important role in
society
• Two examples are:
• Mary Shelley and Emily Dickinson
4. Mary Shelly's life
• She was born in 1797, she had a pioneer
feminist as mother and a radical thinker as
father.
• Both her parents was deep influenced by
ideals of French revolution and toke part
in a small group with other important man
of the time.
• Every day Romanitic poet visited her home
so he was most influenced by them.
• In 1814 She and Shelly fled to France and
toke an house on the banks of Lake and
here she had the inspirations for
Franckenstein’s book.
• 1816 e She began to write Frankenstein
which was published anonymously in
1818.
• In 1822 they moved to Lercy and her
husband died.1823 he return to England
1851 she died.
5. Emily Dickinson
• Emily Dickinson was born into a middle-class puritan family
in 1830.
• She received her education from the university of Mount
Holyoke Female Seminary. She refused to declare her faith in
public, as sayed the puritan tradition, and decided to left the
university and come back at home.
• She started a life of seclusion in which she wore cloths with
for protest and she did never left father's house, except for
some walks in the garden.
• She talked only with her sister and many person through
letters, where she written beautiful thinks.
• She participated at the campaign for the abolition of slavery
and the campaign for women's rights.
• She died in 1886 and four years later the literary critic
Thomas Higginson select her works and public a book in
1890
“Forever is
composed of nows.”
― Emily Dickinson
6. Women in
science
Since ancient times, women have contributed significantly to scientific
development.
Doctors, physicists, mathematicians, biologists: history abounds with
women who have made science their reason for living, very often
encountering difficulties and prejudices from a society that did not
recognize the right weight and the enormous contribution they gave to
the scientific sector.
In the last century many things have changed, but perhaps today the
path is still full of difficulties in certain aspects.
I talk about two woman
Rosalin Franklin and Margaret Hamilton
7.
8. Rosalind Franklin
• Who Was Rosalind Franklin?
• Rosalind Elsie Franklin was born into an influential Jewish family on July 25,
1920, in Notting Hill, London, England.
• She received her education at several schools, including North London Collegiate
School, where she excelled in science, among other things.
• Early Years
• In the fall of 1946, Franklin was work at the Laboratoire Central des Services
Chimiques de l'Etat in Paris, where she worked with crystallographer Jacques
Mering. He taught her X-ray diffraction, which would play an important role in her
research of the structure of DNA
• DNA, Scientific Discoveries and Credit Controversy
• In January 1951, Franklin began working as a research associate at the King's
College London in the biophysics unit, where director John Randall used her
expertise and X-ray diffraction techniques (mostly of proteins and lipids in solution)
on DNA fibers. Studying DNA structure with X-ray diffraction, Franklin and her
student Raymond Gosling made an amazing discovery: They took pictures of DNA
and discovered that there were two forms of it, a dry "A" form and a wet "B" form.
One of their X-ray diffraction pictures of the "B" form of DNA, known as
Photograph 51, became famous as critical evidence in identifying the structure of
DNA
• Deception and death
• Franklin had a personality conflict with colleague Maurice Wilkins. In January
1953, Wilkins changed the course of DNA history by disclosing without Franklin's
permission or knowledge her Photo 51 to competing scientist James Watson, who
was working on his own DNA model with Francis Crick at Cambridge. The two
scientists did, in fact, use what they saw in Photo 51 as the basis for their famous
model of DNA, which they published on March 7, 1953, and for which they
received a Nobel Prize in 1962.
• Franklin died of ovarian cancer in 1958, at age 37.

9. The Story Of Margaret Hamilton
• Margaret Heafield Hamilton (born
August 17, 1936) is an American
computer scientist, systems
engineer and business owner. She
was director of the Software
Engineering Division of the MIT
Instrumentation Laboratory, which
developed on-board flight software
for NASA's Apollo program.
• The landing on the moon was
possible thanks to the courage and
extraordinary strength of she. In fact,
his calculations allowed the
astronauts to complete the mission
and set foot on the moon for the first
time.
• On November 22, 2016, Hamilton
received the Presidential Medal of
Freedom from President Barack
Obama for her work leading to the
development of on-board flight
software for NASA's Apollo Moon
missions.
Looking back, we were
the luckiest people in
the world. There was no
choice but to be
pioneers; no time to be
beginners.
Margaret H. Hamilton
It is always great
when people take
interest in your work.

10. The role of
women in
today's world
• The role of women in today’s world has
changed significantly and for better.
Women are now self-sufficient, well
aware and financially independent.
They have attained immense success in
every field, whether it is sports, politics
or academics. With the encouragement
of co-education, women are now
marching side by side with men, in
every walk of life.
