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.
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

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

3. American Psychiatric Association 's
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders (DSM) 5 (2013)
SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE
DISORDER-a cluster of symptoms
indicating that individual persists with
use of the substance despite significant
substance related problems
4. Taking the opioid in larger
amounts and for longer than
intended
Stopping or reducing important
social, occupational, or
recreational activities
Wanting to cut down or quit but
not being able to do it
Recurrent usein physically
hazardous situations
Spending a lot of time obtaining Consistent use despite
acknowledgment of persistent or
recurrent physical or psychological
difficulties
Craving or a strong desire to use Tolerance
Repeatedly unable to carry out
major obligations at work, school,
or home
Withdrawal
Continued use despite persistent
or recurring social or interpersonal
problems
2-3 (mild) : 4-5 (mod.) ;
>6 (severe)
5. REINFORCEMENT - Capacity of drugs to produce
effects that make the user wish to take them again
mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway increase

6.
7. Reduction in response to the drug after repeated
administrations
Innate tolerance-sensitivity to a drug that is
observed the first time that the drug administered
Acquired tolerance
1. Pharmacokinetic tolerance Changes in the
distribution or metabolism of a drug after
repeated administrations such that a given drug
produces a lower blood concentration than the
same dose did on initial exposure
8. Pharmacodynamic tolerance Adaptive changes that
have taken place within systems affected by the
drug so that response to a given concentration of the
drug is reduced
Learned tolerance - Reduction in the effects of a
drug owing to compensatory mechanisms that are
acquired by past
Acute tolerance - Rapid tolerance developing with
repeated use on a single occasion such as in a
“binge”
9. Reverse tolerance= Sensitization - Increase in
response with repetition of the same dose of the
drug
Cross tolerance - When repeated use of a drug in a
given category confers tolerance not only to that
drug but also to other drugs in the same structural
and mechanistic category Barbiturates ⇔ BDZs
Amphetamine ⇔ Cocaine
Detoxification- t/t gradual decrease in dose
weaning
10.
11. PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE PSYCHOLOGICAL
DEPENDENCE
A state that develops as a result of
the adaptation produced by a
resetting of homeostatic
mechanisms in response to
repeated use of drug Indicates
new balance in presence of drug
Need of continuous presence of
drug Withdrawal syndrome is
the actual evidence of physical
dependence
Motivational component: great
subjective need, compulsion, drive
to get the drug Will take drug
periodically Although physical
dependence for a drug may not
occur, “drug-seeking behavior” is
present
12. Abrupt termination of drug in a physically
dependent person
depends on category of drug
Withdrawal of stimulantsedation
Two origins –
Removal of the drug of dependence –
CNS hyperarousal owing to readaptation to the
absence of the drug of dependence
