Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus that can cause painful fluid-filled blisters on the genitals and rectal area. While treatment with antiviral medication can reduce symptoms, the virus remains dormant in the body and outbreaks can reoccur. It is important for people with genital herpes and their partners to use condoms during sex to prevent transmission and take precautions even after outbreaks subside since the virus can still be spread without visible symptoms.

Genital herpes
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which enters the body through breaks in the skin or moist areas and can cause painful sores or blisters in the genital region. There are two types of HSV. HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes ("cold sores") while HSV-2 generally causes genital herpes via sexual contact. Symptoms of initial infection may include flu-like illness followed by itching, pain and sores in the genital area. While there is no cure, antiviral medication can reduce symptoms during outbreaks.
Herpes
Herpes is a skin infection caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) that is characterized by small blisters or vesicles on reddened skin. There are two types of HSV - HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes ("cold sores") while HSV-2 usually causes genital herpes. Genital herpes can be transmitted through unprotected sex even without visible sores present and may cause pain, itching or sores in the genital area. While antiviral medications can reduce symptoms, there is no cure for herpes though many people experience few to no outbreaks over time.
About Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex viruses HSV-1 and HSV-2. It is characterized by painful blisters or sores in the genital region that can take 2-4 weeks to heal. While symptoms can include flu-like signs initially, many people experience no signs at all or only minor ones. Transmission is possible even without visible sores and the infection is lifelong, though antiviral medication can shorten and prevent outbreaks. There is no cure for genital herpes.

Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus, with over 45 million Americans infected. It is difficult to self-diagnose and often presents no symptoms, but can increase susceptibility to HIV. The virus enters the body through skin or mucous membrane contact and lies dormant in nerve cells, occasionally reactivating and causing sores in the genital region. While treatment with antiviral drugs can reduce outbreaks, there is no cure for this lifelong infection.

A 115 kV circuit switcher and disconnect switch failed during the opening of an 80 MVAR shunt reactor. Simulations using ATP-EMTP showed the transient recovery voltage across the circuit switcher could have exceeded its withstand capability due to prolonged arcing from potential low SF6 pressure. The circuit switcher was replaced with a mechanically staggered circuit breaker and synchronous switching control to target current zeros during opening and improve withstand of transients. However, lack of data prevented conclusively determining the root cause of failure.

Energy Sustainability by 2030 - Knowledge Paper for Connexions
- The Indian government has set ambitious targets to install 175 GW of renewable energy, including 100 GW of solar, by 2022. This will significantly increase variable renewable generation on the grid.
- As solar PV increases, it causes variability that impacts the net load curve. In California, this has led to the "duck curve" pattern, with steep ramping needs in the evening.
- India is expected to experience a similar duck curve as its solar targets are achieved. Modeling shows the 100 GW solar goal will result in steep ramping needs after sunset that could challenge grid operations without solutions. Flexible resources and demand response will be needed to integrate high levels of solar reliably.

SEXUAL TRANSMITTED DISEASES by radhika kulvi , msc nursing
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) — or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) — are generally acquired by sexual contact. The bacteria, viruses or parasites that cause sexually transmitted diseases may pass from person to person in blood, semen, or vaginal and other bodily fluids. Sometimes these infections can be transmitted nonsexually, such as from mothers to their infants during pregnancy or childbirth, or through blood transfusions or shared needles. STIs don't always cause symptoms. It's possible to contract sexually transmitted infections from people who seem perfectly healthy and may not even know they have an infection.
DEFINITION: A disease caused by infection with certain bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms that can be passed from one person to another through blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or other body fluids, during oral, anal, or genital sex with an infected partner. These diseases can also be spread through sharing needles, blood transfusions, breastfeeding, or from an infected mother to an infant during pregnancy and childbirth.

The document discusses various sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), their symptoms, and methods of transmission and prevention. It notes that STDs can be transmitted through sexual contact and birth. While some STDs may cause no symptoms, others may result in sores, discharge, pain, or rashes in the genital area. The best way to prevent STDs is through abstinence or limiting sexual partners. Getting tested and practicing safe sex can also help reduce transmission risk.
Std -investigoatory project by rupesh
Blood tests, urine samples, and fluid samples from genital sores can be used to diagnose STIs. Screening for certain STIs is recommended for pregnant women, sexually active women under 25, men who have sex with men, people with HIV, and everyone ages 13 to 64 for HIV. Treatment consists of antibiotics for bacterial infections, antiviral drugs for viral infections like herpes and HIV, and informing partners for testing and treatment. STIs can cause symptoms like sores or discharge but also may cause no symptoms, so testing is important. Risk factors include unprotected sex, multiple partners, substance abuse, and young age. Prevention methods include abstinence, mutual monogamy, STI testing for new partners,

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.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Role of Mukta Pishti in the Management of Hyperthyroidism
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

Physiology of Chemical Sensation of smell.pdf
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

Genital herpes
- 1. Genital Herpes Uploaded by mumsa1 on Dec 28, 2011 Genital herpes can be a chronic (long term) condition and can affect both men and women. In this article: What is genital herpes? Symptoms Causes Diagnosis Treatment How Chemist Online can help Advice & Support What is Herpes? Genital herpes is a common and contagious sexually transmitted infection. You can still be infected with the genital herpes virus even though you do not have any visible symptoms. The genital herpes virus enters the body through the vagina, rectum, urethra and mouth. Symptoms Symptoms of genital herpes include: Fluid-filled blisters on the genitals and around the anus area which can become painful and sore after bursting and becoming ulcerous Itching and sometimes a stinging sensation in the genital area and around the rectum
- 2. Pain when urinating Fever (and sometimes fatigue) A feeling of being run down and unwell Headaches Swollen glands Muscular pain Lower back pain Vaginal discharge Causes Herpes is caused by the contagious herpes simplex virus (HSV). The virus spreads from one person to another through close skin-on-skin contact – usually sexual contact which can be vaginal, anal or oral sex. Genital herpes can also be passed on through the sharing of sex toys. Diagnosis If you are suffering from the aforementioned symptoms, or if you have had sexual intercourse with someone who you suspect may have the genital herpes (or even the genital herpes simplex virus which may be lying dormant) it is important to make an appointment to see your GP immediately. Alternatively, you can also go to your local Genito-Urinary Medicine (GUM) Clinic or Family Planning Clinic for tests. Your visit can be confidential if you wish, and you may not have to give your real name. After taking your medical history and asking you some questions about your symptoms, your GP will make a further assessment by carrying out a general examination of your affected area(s). Tests which may be used in order to establish a confirmed diagnosis can include a swab of your infected area(s) and/or a blood test. Note: As we have seen, it is possible to have genital herpes without experiencing any symptoms. This is why it is very important that your partner (and previous partners) also arranges to see their GP or to go to their local Genito-Urinary Medicine (GUM) Clinic or Family Planning Clinic for tests.
- 3. Treatment Treatment for genital herpes is generally a course of prescribed antiviral tablets. The best way to avoid catching genital herpes is to take preventive measures. Always use condoms for sex and try to limit your number of sexual partners. Also, remember that although your symptoms are likely to clear up with treatment, that does not mean that you do not have the virus once your blisters and/or ulcers have disappeared. Therefore it is important to still use condoms during close sexual contact after completion of your prescribed treatment. How Chemist Online can help Through this website we have a range of treatments and contraceptive products which can help promote sexual wellbeing and protect you from becoming infected with a sexually transmitted infection. Also, we can offer you a range of painkillers (such as Paracetamol or Ibuprofen) which can help reduce the associated pain of genital herpes. www.chemistonline.co.uk Advice & Support Herpes Viruses Association Helpline: 0845 123 2305 Website: www.herpes.org.uk
