Diagnostics in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): UltrasoundAbhineet Dey
Intestinal ultrasound has a good accuracy in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease, as well as in the assessment of disease activity, extent, and evaluating disease-related complications, namely strictures, fistulae, and abscesses.
Even though not fully validated, several scores have been developed to assess disease activity using ultrasound. Importantly, intestinal ultrasound can also be used to assess response to treatment. Changes in ultrasonographic parameters are observed as early as 4 weeks after treatment initiation and persist during short- and long-term follow-up. Additionally, Crohn's disease patients with no ultrasound improvement seem to be at a higher risk of therapy intensification, need for steroids, hospitalisation, or even surgery.
Similarly to Crohn's disease, intestinal ultrasound has a good performance in the diagnosis, activity, and disease extent assessment in ulcerative colitis patients. In fact, in patients with severe acute colitis, higher bowel wall thickness at admission is associated with the need for salvage therapy and the absence of a significant decrease in this parameter may predict the need for colectomy.
Short-term data also evidence the role of intestinal ultrasound in evaluating therapy response, with ultrasound changes observed after 2 weeks of treatment and significant improvement after 12 weeks of follow-up in ulcerative colitis.

Gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas are rare and have a poor prognosis. The present case concerns with a 55 year old female who presented with complaints of recurrent vomiting on and off, hematemesis and weight loss and history of lumbar stenosis. Esophagogastroduedenostomy (EGD) showed a large ulcerated growth in the antrum. Computed tomography abdomen revealed an ill defined soft tissue density in the gastric antrum, a partial gastrectomy was performed. Microscopic evaluation revealed a neuroendocrine neoplasm. Immunohistochemically positive for Chromogranin A and Non Specific Enolase (NSE). A diagnosis of Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the stomach was given based on recent WHO classification of Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the stomach and on mitotic index with reference to grading scale.
Subserosal Cecal Lipoma : A rare Cause of Ileo-colic Intussusception in AdultsAmr Badawy MD, MSc
Intussusception is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults and is usually secondary to malignant neoplasms as the pathologic leading point. We present a case of ileocolic intussusception in an adult caused by a large pedunculated cecal lipoma and mobile cecum. The patient was a 45-year-old woman with 3 weeks’ history of colicky abdominal pain, hematochezia, and alternating bowel habits. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed ileocolic intussusception with 75 cm low-density mass in the cecum. Right hemicolectomy was performed, and histopathological examination of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of a subserosal cecal lipoma.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Editor's Notes
Bozzini developed a primative endoscope, for cystoscopy, the Lichleiter, wth illumination provided by a burning candle. Bozzini published his finding and instrument in 1805, as light conductor to visulaize the urinary bladder. He was censored by the Medical Faculty of Vienna for (undue curiosity).
In 1853 Desormeaux in France developed first instrument of clinical value primarily for urological disease. The endoscope comprised a viewing tube and a light source unit, a gazogene lamp lit by a mixture of alcohol and turpentine. The viewing tube, at its junction with the light source, had an angled mirror with a small hole in the center reflecting light from the flame through the viewing tube into the attached speculum. Observation was through a small hole at the end of the tube, which swiveled at its connection to the light source so that the source stayed vertical.
German physician, performed rigid gastroscopy over obturator. Candle light was not enough until, Edisson Lamp.

Beginning in the 1930s came a period that saw the development of semiflexible endoscopes. Schindler was an integral character during this era. The first recorded flexible esophagoscope, however, was by Kelling in 1898. The lower third of his instrument could be flexed up to a 45° angle. Schindler’s breakthrough came about in 1932 in the form of the semiflexible gastroscope. The distal half of this endoscope was constructed from a spiral of bronze with a protective covering of rubber. Key to his design, though, was the discovery that using a tube filled with very thick lenses with short focal distances allowed for bending in several planes without distortion of the transmitted image. Schindler introduced an updated version 4 years later that used an electric globe as the light source. The maximal bending angel was only 30°, as greater angles would not allow for image transmission, and thus there were significant blind spots not visualized by the endoscope

The earliest endoscopically visualized changes in UC are erythema and vascular
congestion of the mucosa. As edema becomes more prominent, small mounds may
form resulting in a fine granular appearance. The mucosa may be friable and bleed
with minor contact. As inflammation becomes more severe, ulcerations form, and
bleeding may occur spontaneously. Coalescence of small ulcers may result in large
or linear ulcerations.
Chronic inflammation can result in mucosal atrophy with loss of the haustral folds
and luminal narrowing. Mucosal atrophy may lead to pseudopolyps, which can
assume diverse shapes as well as form mucosal bridges. Typically, they appear as
long, glistening, fingerlike projections that are friable and bleed easily when biopsied.
Pseudopolyps can also be seen in CD but are typically seen in UC.
Giant pseudopolyps can lead to intussusception and obstruction.

In CD, involvement is typically patchy and can affect any segment from the mouth to
the anus. In the setting of colonic CD, the rectum is spared in up to 50% of patients
and is often most severe in the cecum and right colon. Esophageal CD can either
be focal or extensive, with single or multiple erosions, often surrounded by healthy
mucosa. In upper gastrointestinal CD, the most frequently involved areas are the
duodenum and gastric antrum. Gastroduodenal CD occurs in 0.5% to 4% of
patients with ileocolonic disease, although it occurs very rarely as an isolated entity
