Transforming Clinical Practice InitiativeCitiusTech
The Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) is designed to help small practices and clinicians achieve large-scale health transformation. The initiative is designed to support more than 140,000 clinician practices over four years duration in sharing, adapting and further developing their comprehensive quality improvement strategies. The TCPI is one part of a unique strategy advanced by the Affordable Care Act to strengthen the quality of patient care and manage health care expenditures, ultimately saving the taxpayer from substantial costs. This document describes the initiative in detail with the type of participants, eligibility and reporting requirements of the participants. Understanding the implementation of this initiative not only helps clinicians, but opens up a huge market for Healthcare IT companies offering the products and services like EHR implementation, Integration, EHR/ Data Migration, Implementation of HIE etc.

Indian Healthcare - Transitional Shift Towards Sustainable & Mobile Care Bhavik Doshi
The Indian Healthcare sector constitutes mainly of hospitals, pharmaceuticals, Diagnostics, Insurance and Medical Equipment. The Indian Healthcare industry is growing by a rate of CAGR of 18% and is expected to grow to CAGR of 21% till 2020. This instills the signs of fulfillment of Vision 2020. The major factors influencing are increase in population, shift in demograpics, rise in disposable income, Increase in incedence of lifestyle related disease, rising literacy, tax benefits and rise in insurance coverage. Moeover the public health expenditure in India is very low which give the platform for the development. A holistic approach of "stakeholder relationship management" is required to bring about the trasntional shift in healthcare. New models are required to provide affordable and accessible solutions of healthcare. Public Private Partnership (PPP) model can be a boon to be provided as a solution. India has always been taking a leapfrog in welcoming new technological platforms. A classic example of such leapfrog of technology is transition of telecommunation from landlines to cell phones avoiding the transition to pagers. The introduction of mHealth have already created a revolution in changing the dimension of healthcare & cut-shorted the boundary between doctors and rural patients and have enhanced outreach and coverage.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
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
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

Challenges after the devolution
Due to the devolved setup of the health
system, health reforms must not only be
implemented at the national level, these
must also be promoted at the local
government levels.
Difficulties in coordination between the
DOH and local governments often lead to
poor policy implementation, and poorly
functioning referral systems.
Health is not a priority in most LGUs
Lack of facilities and skilled health workers
at the primary care level

Major Constraints in
Accessing Essential Drugs
1. Limited availability
2. Irrational use
3. High Cost
4. Local government are left to budget for medicines
5. Massive campaign by bigger manufacturing firms of their products
6. Better incentives given to prescribers and dispensers of particular
products
7. Prolonged patent rights
8. Lack of education on generics and patent issues
9. Shortcoming of information and education on pharmaceutical
issues
High price of medicine
Medical
Devices
Filipinos are one of the highest consumers of pharmaceuticals in
Southeast Asia (P750-800 annually on medicine and drugs per person)
General radiography (basic X-ray):
Most basic equipment available across
the country
Local Government are left to budget for
medical instruments, devices and
equipment.
Supply-driven distribution scheme
• Drugstores: 80.1%
• Hospitals: 9.7% (Gov’t: 2.3%)
• Others: 10.2%
Strong market orientation
• Expensive branded medicine dominate the pharmaceutical
market
• 10,000 drugs are off-patent but only 500 drugs are being
manufactured
Poor compliance to Generics Law
• Inadequacy to ascertain quality of medicine affects access to
medicine and patient health outcomes
• Claims better quality in comparison to more affordable and
what are perceived to be “inferior” products
Generally lax regulation with strong
pharmaceutical or nutritiutical
company lobbying influence.
• Aggravated by the high promotion and gift-giving scheme done
by drug companies to health professionals
Inaccessible by the poor
