Working with Regulators: A Focus on CMS | Took Kit: A Guide for Patient AdocatesCancerSupportComm
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the tip of a very large, multi-faceted iceberg, one that is moving inexorably forward and will result in broad, deep changes in the way that health care in this country is understood and delivered. These changes are already exerting a significant impact on cancer research and care, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. This is also an era in which the patient voice and genuine, active patient participation have become integral to the process of developing and implementing biomedical research and health care policy.
That process is complex and multidimensional—but also well defined and transparent. The ability to influence the outcomes requires that an organization have a working knowledge of how the process works, which agencies are responsible and who makes the decisions. It is also critical to understand the ways in which electoral politics at both the national and state level impact health care policy. While that sounds straightforward, the regulatory process often can appear impenetrable to the organizations who seek to make their voices heard and influence the outcomes.
This Tool Kit is intended as a practical guide for patient advocacy organizations in their efforts to educate themselves about the regulatory process, develop appropriate staff expertise and responsibility for this area, and ultimately make a difference.
HEARTSafe Communities exist in many areas of the US and abroad. HEARTSafe helps communities save lives by improving response and care for cardiac arrest victims.
This presentation was given on April 7, 2014 as part of FMCC 2014. Andrew Bazemore, MD, MPH serves as the Director of the Robert Graham Center for Policy and p[provided an update on studies in family medicine and primary care.

Improving Bystander CPR, Community Mobilization and Outreach Using Media Infl...David Hiltz
All of you sitting out there have great stories to tell. Stories that will save lives. And news organizations want them.
You just need to figure out how to get the stories out in your communities and better yet, how to get the news organizations to get them out for you. Because the holy grail of any public relations effort, any educational effort, that aims to reach a mass audience through mass media is a staff written story.
And changes in the news industry that are challenging newsrooms across the country are in your favor.
My comments are based on a working knowledge of small, community news organizations, not the big guys, but I believe the same holds true them as well.
It’s no secret that the number of reporters and photographers and editors in traditional newsrooms is shrinking. But news editors still have holes to fill in print editions and they face a constant challenge to keep their websites updated with new information 24/7.
Those challenges are your entryway.
But you won’t gain entry without your own challenges. Those tight staffing situations may make your mission harder at the outset than it might have been 10 or 20 years ago when newsrooms were flush with young reporters looking for their next story.
You’ve got to get a reporter or editor to take the time to listen to you and they’re all wearing several hats taking care of print issues and web site updates and social media posts. So be politely persistent.
David Hiltz was and he ended up getting more than one message into our paper and on our web site. If I may, I suggest you borrow a line from David. After challenging him to tell me why we should be writing about this stuff as a general circulation newspaper and website rather than a medical journal, he had the perfect line.
“If 15-20 people were needlessly dying in house fires in Westerly each year, would that be newsworthy," he asked. "How is cardiac arrest any different?"
Perseverance will be key, but if you get your pitch down right -- make it brief, but compelling – you should be able to convince an assignment editor that you’ve got a story that will get lots of eyeballs on his or her website -- and maybe even convince someone to grab a print copy off the rack.
Local and unique are the keys to good news stories in 2017 when global news is available from any number of news outlets as soon as you grab you smartphone in the morning. And all of you have unique, local stories from your communities. Stories about regular citizens saving lives on the street because they learned how to do CPR or because they learned how to use an AED.
Access Denied! Failures in Automated External Defibrillator DeploymentDavid Hiltz
This presentation will examine current practices in early defibrillation strategies including defibrillation by law enforcement and PAD models. While millions of defibrillators have been placed in public venues, many victims are not defibrillated in a timely fashion.
Why do current practices fall short of expectations?

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
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
