Taking hormonal contraceptives like the pill for at least five years may increase women's risk of developing a rare brain tumor called a glioma. While little is known about the causes of brain tumors, female sex hormones may increase the risk of some cancer types. However, contraceptive use may reduce the risk of certain cancers in some age groups. The risks are small but scientists warn women about the potential increased risk.

Cervical cancer (CC) is 80% of global burden, the second most common cancer in women worldwide and leading cancer in Indian women. Approximately 40 Human papillomavirus (HPV) types infect cervix through sexual transmission [1,2]. HPV is a chronic disease and product of infection of sexually active women along with poverty, lower education level, low standards, multiparity, multiple sexual partners, using oral contraceptive pills, tobacco smoking, illiteracy, malnutrition and poor genital hygiene, dietary deficiencies of vitamins, co-infection with HIV, Herpes simplex virus type 2, Chlamydia trachomatis, bacterial vaginosis immunosuppressant drugs are all co-factors that progress from HPV infection to CC [3]. These co-factors are un-addressed widespread issues in the undeveloped sectors of the world. Intervention to increase program to prevent the development of unhealthy life behaviors and reduce the non-HPV risk factors can have immense impact on decreasing morbidity and mortality of genital malignancies and many preventable communicable and non-communicable human ailments [4]. It is unrecognized infection without any specific discern signs and symptoms.
Use of oral contraception benefits, risks and ethical dilemmaRustem Celami
Contraception as a method to prevent pregnancy has been used since ancient time by many cultures. In Albania, traditional withdrawal was the preferred choice for many years. Oral contraceptives were legalized in Albania in 1992 and have been distributed free at government health centers since 1993. Nevertheless, Albanian population have more confidence in traditional withdrawal than in modern methods of contraception, emphasizing how little couples know about family planning and the weakness of subsequent family planning education efforts. However, some ethical dilemmas and groups oppose the distribution of contraceptives. This piece of paper will be focused in use of oral contraceptives, benefits, risks and ethical point of view.

HPV is a group of approximately 150 related viruses that can lead up to 6 different types of cancers later on in life.
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection.
HPV appears as skin or mucous membrane growths on the vagina, cervix, rectum, anus, penis, and scrotum.
What is Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)?
HPV is spread from skin to skin sexual contact with someone who has the virus.
HPV is the most common STD. Most people do not know they have it unless they feel or see the skin irritation and see their physician for diagnosis but the lesions usually go away on their own.
How do you get HPV?
The best way to prevent contracting HPV is to avoid sexual contact with someone who has the virus.
The HPV vaccine significantly reduces your chances of contracting the virus.
Prevention of HPV
HPV vaccination
-The vaccine is recommended for children at age 11-12 years old.
-Most children only require two doses of the vaccine when vaccinated before age 15.
-Studies suggest that the protection provided by the HPV vaccine is long lasting. Data from patients followed for 10 years substantiates protection has remained high in those individuals. There has been no evidence of the protection decreasing over time.
-Over 120 million doses of the HPV vaccine have been distributed since the vaccine was licensed, and data continue to show the vaccine is safe and effective.
-HPV infections, genital warts, and cervical pre-cancers have dropped significantly since the vaccine has been in use in the United States.
-Studies indicate there have been reductions of HPV cases due to vaccines:
* 86% among teenage girls
* 71% among adult young women
* 40% among women
The HPV vaccine is recommended for boys and girls at 11-12 years of age but can be given as young as 9 and up to 14 years of age and in 2 doses that are 6-12 months apart. If the vaccine is given after age 15 up through the age of 26, there are 3 doses required. The vaccine is not recommended for people over the age of 26 but can be a discussion with their doctor if they were never vaccinated at a younger age to discuss their risk for contracting HPV and the possible benefits to receiving the vaccine at this time.
It is recommended to receive the vaccine at the younger age prior to becoming sexually active.
The vaccine should not be given to people that have had a prior allergic reaction to vaccines or who are pregnant.
There are 3 different vaccines but the Gardasil 9 is the one given in the United States.

Literature Review
Increase in cases of breast cancer has been a major challenge in the healthcare setting. Additionally, treatments for patients suffering from breast cancer have been inadequate and this has created a major crisis thus leading bad health conditions for people living with breast cancer. Additionally, there has been an alarming increase in the number of patients suffering from breast cancer. This particular question on why the levels of breast cancer have increased has not been answered since this particular disease has been termed as being very complicated to understand mainly because its causes are many. However, this increase in the number of breast cancer cases has been attributed to a number of factors. To start with, screening of breast cancer has been a reason for the rise in breast cancer cases. Previously women were never screened for this particular disease. However, with the introduction of new technology screening has become a common thing. Screening has helped in the detection of breast cancer especially during the early years of development. Therefore anytime there is a screening clinic it is expected that the number of women suffering from the breast will increase.
Secondly, lifestyle changes have also attributed to the rise in breast cancer cases. In the modern day world, women have greatly changed their lifestyles this has been attributed to the growth of their careers and also an increase in women’s income. These changes in status have made women to change their lifestyles this means that they can afford to spend more on leisure and thus engage in activities such as alcoholism. Alcohol is one of the major cause of breast cancer among women also it is known to increase the chances of breast cancer in women. Statistically, it has been proven that an increase in the units of drinking by a woman can lead to an increase in the risk of getting breast cancer. Additionally, eating fast foods has also been a major attribute of breast cancer. Women who tend to have excess weight are at a higher risk of getting cancer when compared to women who have less weight (Polit ,& Beck, 2017).
Other factors that have been known to increase the chances of breast cancer in women include; hormone replacement therapy. The use of hormone replacement therapy has been known to be a predisposing factor for breast cancer. According to research, it was found out that the more the woman uses HRT the more the chances of getting breast cancer. Additionally, women who tend to have children during their late age are at a higher risk of getting cancer when compared to those who get children at an early age. This particular aspect explains why women in less developed countries are less prone to breast cancer. Age ...

Vaccines Safety and Effectiveness
Do you think vaccination is an important or just harmful substance forced by pharmaceutical companies cooperating with the governments to inject into people? Vaccine can be defined as “biological preparations that, when introduced into the body, cause an individual to acquire immunity to a specific disease” (Davidson. 7). So, for decades, vaccines have been considered one of the best revaluation in medical practice. A long time ago, people all around the world tried to fight with different kinds of fatal diseases by different ways, and one of the most Significant ways is to make a vaccine, to prevent such life- threatening diseases. The first vaccine was against the Smallpox disease. Smallpox is a highly contagious disease and caused a lot of fatalities all around the world, and it is transmitted between people by inhalation of droplets of virus or direct contact with smallpox lesion secretions (Davidson 25). It is a deadly disease, it caused blindness and permanent scars in the patients that survived. Finally, after several attempts to make a vaccine for Smallpox, Edward succeeded to produce an effective and safe vaccine in 1796 by using the cowpox vaccine to protect from smallpox. Cowpox is a disease cause by cows and transferred to human, and Jenner’s theory was based that whoever had cowpox will be immunized against smallpox (Davidson 29). “Edward Jenner was an English country doctor who introduced the vaccine for smallpox. Previously a keen practitioner of smallpox inoculation.”
Then, century after century, vaccine after vaccine was developed for different kinds of diseases. In the 20th century, one of the most known vaccines was Diphtheria and Tetanus vaccines. Diphtheria is a respiratory illness, causing the release of exotoxin from Corynebacterium diphtheriae bacteria which leads to death of mucus cells in the throat, mouth and nose, and as a result of cells accumulation the pseudo-membrane are build up and block the airways of the patients which causes death (Davidson 42) After years of experiments and trials to make a vaccine to fight this disease, Gaston Ramon a French veterinarian and biologist who realized that attenuated Diphtheria toxin is able to activate the immune system of people without causing serious side effects, and by 1927, the toxoid vaccine was freely used all around the world, and it succeeds to drop the number of cases of diphtheria. Then, by using the same way of toxoid, combined Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoid vaccines were produced. Tetanus can be described as a nerves system infection that leads to spasm and contract of body muscles, especially jaw muscles which make the patients unable to open their mouths (Davidson. 44)
Another example of one of the most significant vaccine is a Polio vaccine. Polio disease, mainly affecting children under 5 years old, and leading to paralysis and often to death due to immobilization of respi.

The primary goal of palliative cancer care is typically to relieve suffering and improve quality of life. Most approaches to diet in this setting have focused only on eating as many calories as possible to avoid cachexia. However, as the concept of palliative care has evolved to include all aspects of cancer survivorship and not just end of life care, there is an increasing need to thoughtfully consider diet and nutrition approaches that can impact not only quality of life but overall health outcomes and perhaps even positively affect cancer recurrence and progression. In this regard, there has been a recent emphasis in the literature on nutrition and cancer as an important factor in both quality of life and in the pathophysiology of cancer. Hence, the primary purpose of this paper is to review the current data on diet and nutrition as it pertains to a wide range of cancer patients in the palliative care setting.

Do the Benefits of Vaccination Outweigh Risks?
Yolanda Godbee
Columbia Southern University
Body Paragraphs Revision
Introduction
There have been arguments on whether the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks. Many religious groups and non-governmental organizations have been on the front line in condemning vaccination. Most of these groups argue that vaccination does not only prevent children from contracting some diseases but also have their long-term side effects. Some of the religious groups have come out to claim that vaccination is used by some of the governments as a birth control method since it has effects on the hormones responsible for the formation of the fetus. However, the claims have not been substantiated (Sears, 2011). The groups have not rested their case there; some have access to resources, and they say they have conducted tests on some of the polio vaccines, and they found out that they affect most of the female children. They believe that the vaccine causes hormonal imbalance and therefore interfering with the normal process of conceiving and giving birth.
Vaccination prevents the children from contracting diseases as they develop. Vaccinations given to children at tender ages help then strengthen their immunity thus preventing a lot of diseases from infecting them. According to Sears (2011), the government of United States has championed for the vaccination to all children to help them grow healthy. The government champions the vaccination for children because of the enormous health benefits. Other countries like Australia, United Kingdom and Sweden are also championing for disease prevention in children and the society in general through vaccination. The spirit has been spread to other parts of the world like in Africa where last year the number of the vaccinated children increased by 37% in just two years. The move has not only seen many children being prevented from risky illnesses, but the society has also responded positively to the issue of immunization. Prevention of diseases is not the only benefit of vaccination.
Vaccination has also helped various countries to strengthen their economies in a significant way. Some diseases like Ebola, measles, polio and small pox can now be controlled through vaccination thus making people healthier and stronger to build the economy of their countries. This is evident in the 20th century when these diseases were killer diseases and governments spent lots of money in treating them hence making the economy weaker in the process. Evidently, recent research that was conducted by the Union of Doctors states that the number of people who died of polio and measles has drastically dropped and that is because vaccination has been embraced by many nations (Sears, 2011). As compared to the 20th century, the 21st century has seen most countries develop economically as more people are freed from these diseases throu ...

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.

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.

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!

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

Taking hormonal contraceptives,
such as the pill, for at least five
years may up women's risk of
developing a rare brain tumour,
scientists have warned. While only
a little is known about the causes of
glioma and other brain tumours,
there is some evidence that female
sex hormones may increase risk of
some cancer types, although there
is evidence that contraceptive use
may reduce risk in certain age
groups, researchers said.
3. Antibiotic use by travellers may cause global
superbug spread:
Taking antibiotics for diarrhoea may put
travellers visiting developing world at
higher risk of contracting superbugs and
spreading drug-resistant bacteria to their
home countries, according to a new
study.The study authors call for greater
caution in using antibiotics for travellers'
diarrhoea, as part of broader efforts to
fight the growing public health crisis of
antibiotic resistance and the spread of
highly resistant bacteria worldwide.
