Climate change and emerging infectious and vector diseasesShisam Neupane
Climate change , acting via less direct mechanisms, would affect the transmission of many infectious diseases; especially water, food and vector-borne diseases.
At present, along with the whole world, Nepal is suffering the issues of climate change too. Especially the health of vulnerable population is in degrade.
Presentation by Barbara Szonyi, Bernard Bett and Delia Grace at an Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute (EHNRI) and Institute of Development Studies (IDS) workshop on climate change adaptation and nutrition with gender perspective in Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 30 October 2013.
Climate Change is the defining issue of our time. From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Without drastic action today, adapting to these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly (United Nations).
CLIMATE CHANGE presentation is prepared by Meena A S for school and collage students and teachers for easy understanidg of the concept, its causes, effects and solutions.

As far as Nepalese people are concerned, they are very bad in their food habits. Disease like ulcer and diabetes are rampant along Nepalese people. Moreover, there are areas in the country where there is a severe malnutrition.
Factors influencing food habits
•Individual Preferences
Every individual has unique likes and dislikes concerning foods.
•Cultural Influences
A cultural group provides guidelines regarding acceptable foods, food combinations, eating patterns, and eating behaviors.
•Social Influences
Members of asocial group depend on each other, share a common culture, and influence each other's behaviors and values.

GLOBAL WARMING AND HUMAN HEALTH
Introduction
Human health refers to the state of soberness in terms of the mind, the body and the soul. The world health organization has defined health as the state of the body being free from illnesses or injuries. Environment on the other hand, is the immediate environment of the human being which affects all aspects in life. The environment is in control of the healthy and unhealthy environment and thus can moderate on the effects on the health of the human beings. One of the environmental factors that affect the human health to a great extent is the global warming (Martens, 2014). According to United States department of health and human service, climate change is likely to cause 250, 000 more deaths annually. This is likely to result from malaria, diarrhea and heat stress.
Global warming has significant impact on the health of human beings. These effects can be classified into two major categories. First, global warming affects the frequency of health problems that are already affected by climate. Secondly, global warming creates unprecedented health problems in places where they were never expected (Clayton, 2014). Global warming cause’s extreme climate changes such as severe drought, extreme high temperatures, hurricanes, increased storm intensity and storm surge. As climate changes increases, health problems are also likely to intensify as a result of poor air quality, natural disasters, allergens and extreme heat and many other factors. In this paper, I would like to focus on the climatic effects of global warming and how they affect human health.
Global warming causes extreme climatic changes such as extreme heat and heavy rainfall which affects the food we eat, the air we breathe and the water we drink. It is important to establish how global warming affects the temperature on earth so that we identify how it’s related to health problems. Global warming results from pollution in industries, machines we use such as vehicles and human activities such as deforestation. Manufacturing industries produce lethal chemicals and gases which combine to form greenhouse gases which destroys the ozone layer. The ozone layer, is purported to be an atmospheric layer that protects humans from the harmful radiation from the sun (Change., 2014). The depletion of the ozone layer as a result of pollution and increased deforestation allows the entry of harmful radiation hence resulting to an increase in both average and extreme earth temperatures.
When earth temperatures increase beyond the normal range, the overall seasonal temperatures is also affected. This in turn affects the summer and winter temperatures, in that, extremely high temperatures could be experienced in summer while extremely low temperatures could be experienced in winter. This compromises the ability of the body to regulate its temperature (Martens, 2014). W.

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

Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
