Hand washing, also known as hand hygiene, is the act of cleaning hands for the purpose of removing soil, dirt, and microorganisms. If water and soap is not available, hands can be cleaned with ash instead. Medical hand hygiene refers to hygiene practices related to medical procedures.
Research shows that washing hands with soap and water could reduce deaths from diarrheal disease by up to 50%. Researchers estimate that if everyone routinely washed their hands, 1 million deaths a year could be prevented. A large percentage of foodborne disease outbreaks are spread by contaminated hands

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

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
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!

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

2. What is Hand Hygiene?
Hand Hygiene includes cleaning hands with soap
and water or alcohol-based hand rub in order to
remove germs, removing soil, dirt.
3. Why do we need to Hand Hygiene?
• Hand hygiene is the most important way to prevent the spread of
germs.
• Protect the patient against harmful germs carried on your hands or
present on his/her own skin
• Protect yourself and the health-care environment from harmful germs
• Prevent the incidence of hospital acquired infection.
20. How to handwash( 7 step method..!!!) who
To effectively
reduce the
growth of
germs on
hands,
handwashing
must last 40–60
secs
and should be
performed by
following all of
the illustrated
steps
24. Equipment
Warm running water
Antiseptic Soap Solution
Hand brush stored in a sterile
container
Sterile towel
25. Steps of the procedure
1.Makesure fingernails are short,clean,healthy.Nail polish
should be removed.
2.Remove jewelries(Rings, Bracelets).
3.Apply personal protective equipment(PPE) includes surgical shoe
covers,Cap,Facemask
and protective eyewear.
26. Surgical hand scrub (who 2009)
Start timing. Scrub each side of each finger, between the
fingers, and the back and front of the hand for 2 minutes.
Proceed to scrub the arms, keeping the hand higher than
the arm at all times. This helps to avoid recontamination
of the hands by water from the elbows and prevents
bacteria-laden soap and water from contaminating the
hands.
Wash each side of the arm from wrist to the elbow for 1
minute.
WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care: First Global Patient
Safety Challenge Clean Care Is Safer Care.
Geneva: World Health Organization; 2009.
27. Repeat the process on the other hand and arm, keeping hands above
elbows at all times. If the hand touches anything at any time, the scrub
must be lengthened by 1 minute for the area that has been
contaminated.
Rinse hands and arms by passing them through the water in one
direction only, from fingertips to elbow. Do not move the arm back and
forth through the water.
Proceed to the operating theatre holding hands above elbows.
At all times during the scrub procedure, care should be taken not to
splash water onto surgical attire.
Once in the operating theatre, hands and arms should be dried using a
sterile towel and aseptic technique before donning gown and gloves.
30. “Handy” Tips
1 Artificial nails, gel nails or extenders are not to be worn
2 Contaminated surfaces or objects should not be touched after performing
hand hygiene.
3 Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes and nose.
4 Fingernails should be kept short
5 Do not “top up” a partially-used hand hygiene product dispenser.
6 If re-usable dispensers are used they must be emptied, washed and dried
prior to being refilled. Hand lotion bottles must not be re-used.
7 Wearing hand and wrist jewelry is not recommended
