enuresis involves the inability to awaken from sleep in response to a voiding stimulus (i.e., a full bladder), coupled with excessive nighttime urine production or decreased functional capacity of the bladder
The Apgar score is a test given to newborns soon after birth. This test checks a baby's heart rate, muscle tone, and other signs to see if extra medical care or emergency care is needed. The test is usually given twice: once at 1 minute after birth, and again at 5 minutes after birth

Hydrocephalus
introduction
Hydrocephalus, also known years ago as “water on the brain”, is a condition where the circulation system of the body’s cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is not functioning properly. The CSF accumulates in the brain and causes intracranial pressure. A shunt is usually placed to equalize the flow of CSF, which requires surgery. The diagnosis and surgery can be very frightening for the parents as well as the child
definition
Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by an excess of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the ventricular and subarachnoid spaces of the cranial cavity
INCIDENCE
It is found in 1-3 of every 1000 born children in world wide
Classification
Non communicating. In the non communicating type of congenital hydrocephalus, an obstruction occurs in the free circulation of CSF.
Communicating. In the communicating type of hydrocephalus, no obstruction of the free flow of the CSF exists between the ventricles and the spinal theca; rather, the condition is caused by defective absorption of CSF, thus causing increased pressure on the brain or spinal cord.
CAUSES
Obstruction. The most common problem is a partial obstruction of the normal flow of CSF, either from one ventricle to another or from the ventricles to other spaces around the brain.
Poor absorption. Less common is a problem with the mechanisms that enable the blood vessels to absorb CSF; this is often related to inflammation of brain tissues from disease or injury.
Overproduction. Rarely, the mechanisms for producing CSF create more than normal and more quickly than it can be absorbed.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
CLINICAL MANIFESTATION
Poor feeding. The infant with hydrocephalus has trouble in feeding due to the difficulty of his condition.
Large head. An excessively large head at birth is suggestive of hydrocephalus.
Bulging of the anterior fontanelles. The anterior fontanelle becomes tense and bulging, the skull enlarges in all diameters, and the scalp becomes shiny and its veins dilate.
Setting sun sign. If pressure continues to increase without intervention, the eyes appear to be pushed downward slightly with the sclera visible above the iris- the so-called setting sun sign.
High-pitched cry. The intracranial pressure may increase and the infant’s cry could become high-pitched.
Irritability. Irritability is also caused by an increase in the intracranial pressure.
Projectile vomiting. An increase in the intracranial pressure can cause projectile vomiting

ABSTRACT:
Nocturnal enuresis or night time urinary incontinence, commonly called bedwetting or sleep wetting, is involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which bladder control usually occurs. Bedwetting is a common childhood urologic complaint and one of the most common pediatric health issues. Enuresis is notoriously difficult to treat and is frequently related to psychological factors. The emotional impact of enuresis on a child and family is considerable. Children with enuresis are commonly punished and are at risk for emotional and physical abuse. Numerous studies of children with enuresis report feelings of embarrassment and anxiety, loss of self-esteem, and effects on self-perception, interpersonal relationships, quality of life, and school performance. The condition can be successfully treated with homoeopathic medicines but require a long term follow – up. The present article focuses on management of this medical condition with our medicines.

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

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.

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

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.
2. INTRODUCTION
• The word enuresis is derived from a Greek
word (enourein) that means “to void urine.” It
refers to the act of involuntary urination and
can occur either during the day or at night
(though some restrict the term to bedwetting
that occurs at night only)
3. DEFINITION
• It is the involuntary urination, which may be
caused by a variety of factors. These include
disorders of the kidneys, bladder, or ureter
and/or poor control of the muscles that control
the release of urine.
• Enuresis is defined as intermittent urinary
incontinence during sleep in a child at least
five years of age.
4. • Enuresis (Bed-wetting) is also called
nighttime incontinence .It is involuntary
urination while asleep after the age at which
staying dry at night can be reasonably
expected.
5. INCIDENCE
• It is now generally accepted that 15-20% of children
have some degree of nighttime wetting at 5 years of
age, with a spontaneous resolution rate of
approximately 15% per year. Worldwide,
the prevalence of enuresis among 6-12-year-old
children is reported as 1.4-28%.
6. ETIOLOGY
• A small bladder
• Inability to recognize a full bladder
• A hormone imbalance, During childhood, some kids don't
produce enough anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) to slow
nighttime urine production.
• Urinary tract infection.
• Sleep apnea.
• Diabetes.
• Chronic constipation.
• A structural problem in the urinary tract or nervous
system
7. RISK FACTORS
Bed-wetting can affect anyone, but it's twice as common in
boys as in girls. Several factors have been associated with an
increased risk of bed-wetting, including:
• Stress and anxiety.
Stressful events : such as becoming a big brother or sister,
starting a new school, or sleeping away from home — may
trigger bed-wetting.
• Family history.
If one or both of a child's parents wet the bed as children,
their child has a significant chance of wetting the bed, too.
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Bed-wetting is more common in children who have ADHD.
8. WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR
• our child still wets the bed after age 7
• Your child starts to wet the bed after a few months of
being dry at night
• Bed-wetting is accompanied by painful urination,
unusual thirst, pink or red urine, hard stools, or
snoring
9. SYMPTOMS
Wetting during the day.
Frequency, urgency, or burning on urination.
Straining, dribbling, or other unusual symptoms with
urination.
Cloudy or pinkish urine, or blood stains on
underpants or pajamas.
Soiling, being unable to control bowel movements(
fecal incontinence or Encopresis)
Constipation.
10. MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT
Healthcare provider may suggest trying behavioral
changes to begin. Behavioral techniques are changes
you can make to your child’s nighttime routine that
don’t involve medication. These techniques can
include:
• Limiting fluids before bedtime: Don’t give your
child anything to drink at least two hours before
bedtime. Make sure your child drinks plenty of
fluids during the day.
11. • Going to the bathroom before bedtime: Make sure
your child goes to the bathroom and empties his or
her bladder completely before going to bed.
• Enuresis alarm: This is a device that makes a loud
noise or vibrates to awaken the child when he or she
starts to wet the bed. It has a wetness sensor that
triggers the alarm so that the child can wake up and
finish urinating in the bathroom. This technique may
take several months to be successful.
12. • Bladder therapy: This approach is aimed at
gradually increasing the bladder’s functional capacity
by making the child wait to go to the bathroom.
Increasing the length of time between bathroom visits
helps enlarge the bladder to allow it to hold more
urine.
• Counseling: Psychological counseling may be
effective in cases where the child has had a traumatic
event or is suffering from low self-esteem because of
the bedwetting.
13. • The following medications may be used alone
or in combination with behavioral techniques
to treat bedwetting:
• Desmopressin
• Oxybutinin
• imipramine
14. COMPLICATIONS
• Guilt and embarrassment, which can lead to low self-
esteem
• Loss of opportunities for social activities, such as
sleepovers and camp
• Rashes on the child's bottom and genital area
;especially if your child sleeps in wet underwear
