may become infected. If this happens, one treatment option is a tonsillectomy.
A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils. Tonsils are two small glands located in the back of your throat. Tonsils house white blood cells to help you fight infection, but sometimes the tonsils themselves become infected.
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils that can make your tonsils swell and give you a sore throat. Frequent episodes of tonsillitis might be a reason you need to have a tonsillectomy. Other symptoms of tonsillitis include fever, trouble swallowing, and swollen glands around your neck. Your doctor may notice that your throat is red and your tonsils are covered in a whitish or yellow coating. Sometimes, the swelling can go away on its own. In other cases, antibiotics or a tonsillectomy might be necessary.
A tonsillectomy can also be a treatment for breathing problems like heavy snoring and sleep apnea.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
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.

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:

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

Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae

a) Inspection with the arms at her sides, then raised above her head and then
with hands pushing on the waist.
b) Palpation of the breast with the flat surface of your palms in a circular motion.
c) Palpation of the axillary nodes and the supra clavicular nodes.

Inspection of the cervix and vaginal walls.
Palpation of the vagina and cervix by digital examination.
Bimanual examination of the pelvic organs.
• Rectal examination,
• Rectovaginal examination
28. Preparation
1) A female assistant should attend the exam.
2) Explain, Assure and take Consent of the patient.
3) Ask the patient to empty her bladder before the examination
(except in the case of SUI).
4) Position: a) Dorsal position,
b) lithotomy position, &
c) Sim’s lateral position.
NOTE: Take care to properly drape, elevate her head slightly by a pillow, and tell her
to keep her hands on the chest or on the sides, and not over the head, why?
29. Preparation 2
• Explain in advance, each step of the examination and tell her
what she may feel.
• Adjust the light over the perineal area.
• Wear gloves throughout the examination and try to keep your
hand warm.
• Watch her face (whenever possible)when you are examining her.
• Be as gentle as possible.
30. Inspection and External examination
• Assess the sexual maturity of an adolescent female
(by pubic hair and breast development, using Tanner’s staging).
• Inspection of the patient’s external genitalia:
You can seat comfortably and inspect the :
1) Mon’s Pubis
2) Labia majora and
3) Perineum.(For any scars and the length).
31.
32. Inspection
•Separate the labia minora by the thumb and index
fingers of the right hand and inspect the following:
• 1) Labia Minora,
• 2) the clitoris,
• 3) the urethral meatus,
• 4) the vaginal opening or introitus
33. Inspection
Note for any inflammation, ulceration, discharge, swelling or nodules.
• If there is any lesion we are supposed to palpate it to feel for the consistency,
margins and to elicit any tenderness.
• If there is history of labial swelling , check whether it is a Bartholin’s gland
swelling by inserting your index finger into the vagina near the posterior end of
the introitus. Check using thumb and index fingers on each sides.
• Check for any discharge exuding out from the duct opening of the gland.
35. urethra
If symptoms s/o urethritis or inflammation of the urethra
or the para-urethral glands:
• Insert your index finger into the vagina and milk the urethra
gently from inside outwards. &
• Note for any discharge & tenderness.
36. Stress test
Ask the patient to strain down and cough and inspect for:
• A) Stress incontinence.(leakage of urine)
• B) Vaginal prolapse.
• C) Uterine prolapse
37. Speculum examination
• Use sterile instruments
• You can use Cusco’s/ Sim’s speculum.
• Insertion of speculum
• Do examination of Cervix.
• Do examination of vagina during removal of the speculum.
38. Internal examination
1) lubricate your hands with an antiseptic solution like savlon or Betadine,
but only water if you are planning to take a swab for C/S.
2) From a standing position , spread the labia minora by your left hand and then
insert your index and middle fingers of your right hand slowly and gently into
the vagina,
2) The thumb should be abducted, your ring finger and little finger flexed into your
palm. Pressing inwards on the perineum with your flexed fingers usually do not
cause any discomfort to the patient.
39. Internal examination
• 4) note any nodularity or tenderness of the vaginal wall, including the
region of the urethra and bladder anteriorly.
• 5) Palpate the Cervix, note the position, size, shape, consistency,
regularity, mobility, masses, tenderness and opening of external
cervical canal. Palpate the fornices around the cervix. ( normally the
cervix can be moved a little bit without causing much pain)
40. Palpation of uterus
• Place your other hand on the abdomen about midway between the umbilicus
and the symphysis pubis.
• While you elevate the cervix and uterus with your pelvic hand, press your
abdominal hand in and down, trying to grasp the uterus between your two hands.
• Note its size, shape, consistency and mobility and identify any tenderness or
masses.
• Normally the uterus is retroverted, pear shaped, firm, and mobile.
41.
42. Uterine palpation
• If you cannot feel the uterus with either of these manoeuvers, it may be
tipped posteriorly.(retroverted).
• Slide your fingers into the posterior fornix and feel for the uterus
pushing against your fingertips.
• An obese or poorly relaxed abdominal wall prevents you from feeling
the uterus properly even if it is located anteriorly (anteverted).
43. Ovarian and adnexal palpation
• Place your abdominal hand on the right lower quadrant, your pelvic hand in the
right lateral fornix. Press your abdominal hand gently in and down, trying to push
the adnexal structures towards your pelvic hand, at the same time push by your
pelvic hand backward and upward as far as possible.
• By moving your hands slightly, slide the adnexal structures between your fingers,
if possible, and note their size, shape, consistency, mobility and tenderness.
• Repeat all of the above on the left side
44. Ovary
Note : normal ovaries are somewhat tender and you can
palpate them only if the female is very thin and relaxed,
otherwise it is almost impossible to palpate the ovaries
45.
46. Assessing the strength of the pelvic muscles
• Withdraw your two fingers slightly, just clear of the cervix,
and spread them to touch the sides of the vaginal walls.
Ask the patient to squeeze her muscles around them as hard
and as long as she can.
• A squeeze that compresses your fingers snuggly, moves them
upward and inward, and lasts for 3 seconds or more is full- strength.
• Cervical excitation test: Tenderness on cervical movement.
47. Withdrawal
• Withdraw your pelvic hand gradually, look for presence of blood or
discharge.
• After your examination wipe off the external genitalia and anus or
offer the patient some tissue so that she can do it herself.
• In case of virgins (and also in case of very old ladies)
do a per rectal examination instead of PV.
• Lastly, do not forget to test for hernias
49. Normal findings
• Labia’s are apposed and covers the vestibule
• Ant and Post walls of the Vagina are apposed
• The Perineum is at least 5cm long
• No swelling of Bartholin /Skene glands
• No e/o Clitoromegaly
• Adult pattern of hair distribution.
• Vagina and Cervix are clean and without any lesion or discharge.
50. Normal findings
• Uterus is normal size (size of a large lemon)
• It is uniform with smooth contours and it is non tender
• The adnexa ( tubes and ovaries) are neither tender nor enlarged.
• Patient might feel like passing urine at the time of bimanual
examination.
• There is some discomfort but normally the examination is painless
• When coughing /straining no prolapse nor any passage of urine per
urethra or vagina.
