This study compared the use of external condom catheters and Foley's catheters in bedridden male patients with head injuries. The study found that patients using external catheters had lower rates of urinary tract infections and fewer cases of penile ulceration and edema compared to those using Foley's catheters. The conclusion was that external catheters are preferable for these patients as they do not increase the risk of UTIs or urethral injuries, though care needs to be taken in application to avoid issues with the penis.

Masayo Takahashi received her M.D. in 1986, and her Ph.D. in 1992 from Kyoto University. After an assistant professorship in the Department of Ophthalmology, Kyoto University Hospital, she moved to the Salk Institute in 1995, where she discovered the potential of stem cells as a tool for retinal therapy. She returned to Kyoto University Hospital in 1997, and was appointed associate professor at the Translational Research Center in the same hospital in 2001. She joined the RIKEN as a team leader of the Lab for Retinal Regeneration in 2006. In 2013, her team launched a pilot clinical study of autologous iPS cell-derived RPE cell sheets for exudative aged-related macular degeneration (AMD), and performed the first RPE cell sheet graft transplantation in Sept. 2014. In 2017, the team started using allogeneic iPS cells suspension in the clinical study.
Reliability of Med-El Cochlear Implants in children. The Romania Experience.
Introduction: Early detection of hearing loss significantly lowered the age of cochlear implantation. A failed CI
is a very problematic issue for the child and family and seems to be, for the moment, inevitable. This is a
retrospective review aimed to evaluate the reliability of Med-El devices implanted in children in Romania.
Materials and Methods: We designed a questionnaire to assess the incidence, the time elapsed and the reason
of total device failure. Medical-surgical data were collected from children who received Med-El cochlear
implants since the start of the National Cochlear Implant Program in 2001.
Results: There were 256 patients included. Failure Rate (6,64%) and Cumulative Survival Rate (95,31%) at 5
years were calculated. The majority of the hard and soft failures were encountered in Pulsar devices. Flap
necrosis was the most frequent medical/surgical reason for re-plantation. There was only one case of
posttraumatic device failure. Time elapsed to device failure was short – 22 months on average.
Conclusion: Cochlear implant reliability data should be considered during the choice of an implant for each
individual patient. This study confirms the safety and efficacy of Med-El cochlear implants in children for both
ceramic and non-ceramic devices.

Recent Management of Double Pterygium: A Hospital Based Study
Abstract: Purpose: To describe a recent management of conjunctivo-limbal autografting (CLA) for double pterygium in single eye & to evaluate post surgical outcome on follow up. Method: A total 6 months prospective short study in which fifteen (15) patients were selected who had double pterygium in one eye & serial analysis of 15 eyes of surgically managed double pterygium was done. The conjunctivo-limbal autograft from Nasal & Temporal pterygium in same eye was taken from the neck-body of pterygium on either side & the harvested conjunctivo-limbal autograft from the neck-body of the nasal pterygium was transferred to temporal pterygium & similarly temporal autograft nasally with minimal loss of limbal stem cells. The patients were followed up per month to check for any recurrence or complications. Result: No recurrence or other complications was noted in any patient. Conclusion: Transferring conjunctival autograft harvested from neck- body of nasal & temporal pterygia in the same eye to utilize for autografting in temporal & nasal pterygium in double pterygium is less complicated & useful procedure for double headed pterygium .

- An article describes what is the impact of refractive error on a layer of retina ( nerve fiber layer) in myopic subjects, Download its full text from Isra Medical Journal.
Objective: To evaluate myopic impact on thickness of nerve fiber layer of the retina in healthy myopic subjects.
Study Design: Prospective Observational study.
Place and Duration: Investigative Department of Ophthalmology of Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Karachi from 1st May 2018 to 30th October 2018.
Methodology: In this study 80 eyes of myopic subjects (SE -0.5 to -11.0 DS) were enrolled. Each eye underwent through comprehensive ocular examination beginning with visual acuity, refraction, fundoscopy by slit lamp and ending up to optical coherence tomography of Nidek. Mean average peripapillary thickness of nerve fiber layer and thickness in superior, inferior, nasal and temporal quadrants was taken into consideration, calculated by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (version 1.5.5.0).
Results: Forty subjects volunteered for study protocol among which 21 were male and 19 were female with a degree of refractive breakdown of 30% mild myopic, 50% moderately myopic and 20% highly myopic. The calculated average age was 25.0 ± 5.0 years (range 16-40 years). The average total nerve fiber layer thickness in myopic respondents was 90.85μm; superiorly 112.37μm; inferiorly 117.52μm; temporally 71.85μm and in nasal quadrant was 61.55μm. Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was statistically significant in superior and temporal quadrant. In high myopes thickness was clinically significant in inferior quadrant in terms of quantity as compared to mild and moderate myopia
Conclusion: Average retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was significantly decreased in high myopia as compared to mild myopia while moderate group had slightly thicker thickness than high myopic group. Hence impact of dioptric power on nerve fiber layer thickness in myopic patients is significant.

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.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnataka
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!
Alcohol_Dr. Jeenal Mistry MD Pharmacology.pdf
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.

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

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
