Femoral hernia is the third common hernia after inguinal and incisional hernias. The swelling in femoral hernia is below and lateral to pubic tubercle. It is more common in females. Strangulation is very common in this hernia.
An epigastric hernia is where fat pushes out through a weakness in the wall of your abdomen between your umbilicus (belly button) and sternum and forms a lump
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lowest part of your rectum and anus. Sometimes, the walls of these blood vessels stretch so thin that the veins bulge and get irritated, especially when you poop. Hemorrhoids are also called piles.
Ventral hernia is protrusion of peritoneal sac through anterior abdominal wall defects except Groin hernias. In this presentation I have discussed Epigastric, Umbilical, Para umbilical, Incisional, Spigelian and Lumbar hernias.

Homeopathy is highly scientific, logical, safe, quick and extremely effective method of healing. It offers long lasting to permanent cure, treating the disease from its roots, for most of the ailments.
Homeopathy is the most rational science with respect to its concepts of health, disease and cure. Homeopathy does not treat superficially by just driving away the symptoms but heals the patient from within.
Undoubtedly, homeopathy is the medicine of future.
The remedies are prepared from natural substances to precise standards and work by stimulating the body’s own healing power.
But in case of injuries caused to the body from without, the surgical treatment is necessary only to the extent that the parts injured require mechanical aid whereby the external obstruction to cure is removed mechanically. But in such injuries also the living organism requires active dynamic aid to put it in a position to restore the organism to health and homeopathic treatment is called for.homeopathic remedies can play a vital role in reducing any complications that may arise as well as accelerating healing and recovery.

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.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

2. What are hemorrhoids?
• Alternative Names
• Rectal Lump
• Piles
• Lump in the Rectum
• Definition:
• Dilated or enlarged veins in the lower
portion of the rectum or anus.
3. Frequency
• 10 million
• Peak ages: 45-65 years
• ½ of adults experience hemorrhoids by
age 50
• Common among pregnant women
4.
5.
6. Anatomy
• Right anterior, Right posterior and Left lateral
positions
• Only 19% of the time
• Additional smaller accessory bundles between these
• Those originating above the dentate line which are
termed internal
• Those originating below the dentate line which are
termed external.
7.
8. Pathophysiology
• Represent engorgement or enlargement of the normal
fibrovascular cushions lining the rectum and anal canal.
• Chronic straining secondary to constipation or occasionally
diarrhea
Trauma, inflammation
• Fibrovascular cushions lose their attachment to the underlying
rectal wall
prolapse
9. Pathophysiology
• Prolapse of internal hemorrhoidal tissue through the
anal canal.
• Overlying mucosa becomes more friable and the
vasculature increases
• With overlying thinning of the mucosa and vascular
engorgement, subsequent rectal bleeding occurs.
10. Classification
• Classified by history and not by physical examination.
• For INTERNAL hemorrhoids
• Grade I - bleeding without prolapse.
• Grade II - prolapse with spontaneous reduction.
• Grade III - prolapse with manual reduction.
• Grade IV - incarcerated, irreducible prolapse.
11. Symptoms
• Rectal Bleeding
• Bright red blood in stool
• Pain during bowel movements
• Anal Itching
• Difficult hygeine
• Rectal tissue Prolapse
• Leakage (mucus or stool)
• Thrombosis
12. Symptoms
• Bright red blood per rectum or a prolapsing anal mass.
• With, or following, bowel movements, is almost universally
bright red, and very commonly drips into the toilet water.
• Blood may also be seen while wiping after defecation.
Described as on “toilet tissue”
13. Symptoms
• Prolapse usually occurs in association with a bowel movement
• May also prolapse during walking or heavy lifting as a result of
increased intra-abdominal pressure.
Coughing, sneezing
obesity
• Extreme pain, bleeding and occasionally signs of systemic
illness in case of strangulation
rare
14. Causes
• Chronic trauma/inflammation
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Sitting or standing for long periods of time
• Obesity
• Heavy Lifting
• Pregnancy
• Aging
15. Physical exam
• Patients should be examined in the left lateral decubitus
position
Prone-jackknife
• Rule out any rashes, condylomata, fissures, lesions,
abscesses
• External sphincter function
• Rule out tumors
16. Physical exam
• What to expect
Visual inspection
Digital rectal exam
Small scope
17. Evaluation of rectal bleeding
• Rule out rectal cancer!!
• Young individual with bleeding associated with hemorrhoidal
disease and no other systemic symptoms, and no family history,
perhaps anoscopy and rigid sigmoidoscopy
• Older individual, with either a family history of colorectal cancer,
or change in bowel habits, a complete colonoscopy should be
performed to rule out proximal neoplasia.
18. Treatment options
• Varies from simple reassurance to operative hemorrhoidectomy.
• Treatments are classified into three categories:
• 1) Dietary and lifestyle modification.
• 2) Non operative/office procedures.
• 3) Operative hemorrhoidectomy.
• Many patients will require a combination
19. Dietary and lifestyle modification
• The main goal of this treatment is to minimize straining at stool.
• Achieved by increasing fluid and fiber in the diet, recommending
exercise, and perhaps adding fiber agents to the diet such as
psyllium or methycellulose
• If necessary, stool softeners may be added.
Miralax
• "you don't defecate in the library so you shouldn't read in the
bathroom".
20. Dietary
• Mild cases are controlled by:
Preventing constipation
Drinking Fluids
High-fiber diet
Use of Fiber supplements
Stool softeners
Topicals
22. Fiber
• Insoluble
Does not dissolve in water
Bulks – helps with constipation
Whole grains, wheat cereals
• Soluble
Dissolves in water
Helps control blood sugar and reduce cholesterol
Barley, oat meal, beans, nuts
23. Nonsurgical
• Apply OTC cream or suppository containing
hydrocortisone
inflammation
• Keep anal area clean
• Soak in a warm bath
• Apply ice packs or compresses x 10min
Thrombosed hemorrhoid
24. Nonsurgical
• If prolapses, gently push back into anal canal
• Use a sitz bath with warm water
• Use moist towelettes or wet toilet paper
instead of dry toilet paper.
25. Many options
• For painful or persistant hemorrhoids:
Tying off a hemorrhoid-rubber band ligation
Sclerotherapy
Infrared Light
Laser Therapy
Freezing
Electrical Current
Surgery
26. Office Rubber Band Ligation
• Grade I or Grade II hemorrhoids and, in some
circumstances, Grade III hemorrhoids.
• Complications include bleeding, pain, thrombosis
• Successful in two thirds to three quarters of all
individuals with first and second degree hemorrhoids.
27. Office RBL
• Minor pain
• Resume usual activities immediately
• May have feeling of incomplete emptying
• No blood thinners
28. Office Infrared Coagulation
• Generates infrared radiation which coagulates tissue protein
and evaporates water from cells.
• Most beneficial in Grade I and small Grade II hemorrhoids.
Beneficial for patients on anticoagulants
• 3-4 applications per hemorrhoid/per session
More pain
More time consuming
29. Office BICAP (bipolar diathermy)
• It works, in theory, similar to photocoagulation
or to rubber banding.
• the probe must be left in place for ten
minutes.
• poor patient tolerance minimized the effect of
this procedure.
30. Office Sclerotherapy
• Injection of an irritating material into the submucosa
in order to decrease vascularity and increase fibrosis.
• Injecting agents have traditionally been phenol in oil,
sodium morrhuate, or quinine urea.
• Not when prolapse present
• Potential for stricture or scarring
32. Surgical hemorrhoidectomy
• Risks
Reactions to medications of anesthesia
Bleeding
Infection
Narrowing of the anus
• *The outcome is usually very good in the majority of
cases.
33. Options
• Excisional hemorrhoidectomy
• Single or multiple
• Transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization
• With or without hemorrhoidopexy
Ultrasound guided
No excision of tissue
• Stapled hemorrhoidectomy - PPH
34. Prevention
• Eat high fiber diet
• Drink Plenty of Liquids
• Fiber Supplements
• Exercise
• Avoid long periods of standing or sitting
• Don’t Strain
• Go as soon as you feel the urge
