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.

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

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

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.
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!

3. Cosmetics
“Any article intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, sprayed,
introduced to or applied to any part of human body for cleansing, beautifying,
promoting attractiveness or altering the appearances of human body are
cosmetics.”
(Drug and Cosmetics Act, 1940)
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 3
4. Influence of cosmetics:
• “wearing more makeup has been positively correlated with women’s public
self-consciousness” (Miller & Cox, 1982)
• “Cosmetics allow women to feel better about themselves” (Cash, 1987)
• “Self-esteem/ believe increases” (Wright et al., 1970)
• “Enhances Social interactions” (Miller & Cox, 1982)
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 4
5. Herbal cosmetics
Herbal cosmetics are the preparations consisting of one or more herbs or
processed herb(s) in specified quantities to provide specific cosmetic
benefits.
These formulation include comminuted or powered herbal substances,
tinctures, extracts essential natural oils, expressed juices and processed
exudates which are obtained by subjecting herbal substances to treatments
such as extraction, distillation, expression, fractionation, purification or
fermentation processes.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 5
6. “Herbal cosmetics are formulated, using different cosmetic ingredients to
form the base in which one or more herbal ingredients are used to cure
various skin ailments.” (Joshi et.al, 2015)
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 6
7. Herbal extracts of cosmetics
Herbal extracts as the name suggests, is the extract of herbs.
Herbal extracts are an ancient methodology as its references have been
discovered in holy Vedas and in unani scriptures.
Herbals extracts are processed for curing several remedies and serve other
health prospective.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 7
8. There exist a gigantic variety of herbal extracts, to name a few Ocimum
sanctum (Tulsi), Asparagus Racemosus (Shatawari), Azadirachta Indica
(Neem), Asphalt (Shilajit), Camellia Sinensis (Green tea) etc.
Herbal extracts in liquid and other forms have proved to be panacea in the
diseases like cardiac problems, digestive disorders and in mental fatigues. In
some cases, herbal extracts accuracy was detected more than allopathic
medicines which are usually comprised of complex chemicals.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 8
9. Herbal extracts have very less chances of side effects than any other
medicines.
Herbal extracts are cultivated all over the world and is prime name in
horticulture sector at present.
In the present, masses are drifting towards nature and several cosmetics,
fashionable items and others are prepared from it. Cosmetics made up of
herbal extracts for antimarks, fairness, cleansing and hair-care are very
popular for their reliability.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 9
10. Challenges
A key challenge is to objectively assess conflicting toxicological,
epidemiological and other data and the verification of herbal materials used.
Unlike conventional cosmetics, there is extremely insufficient documentation
of herbal cosmetics. Most herbal cosmetics depend on traditional methods or
Ayurvedic formulations in their manufacturing. Some of these are passed
down through generations, while some are documented. Even when
documented, few of these can compare to the extensive clinical,
pharmacological, and toxicological documentation available for conventional
beauty products.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 10
11. Herbal ingredients needs special care and precautions during the complete
phase of extraction process. Proper drying conditions should be adhered.
Improper drying may lead to unintentional adulteration.
E.g. if digitalis leaves are dried above 65 °C decomposition of glycosides by
enzymatic hydrolysis.
No specific standardization: there is no single standard that will apply to
herbal cosmetic formulations, so no any good way to decide whether
ingredient can be used or not, to which extent and what standards.
• Since the processing of one batch often differed from another, a single company’s
own product line may not have a standard output.
• This makes compliance with certain rules difficult, especially in some developed
markets.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 11
12. Few ingredients: Only few ingredients of natural origin can be used as
preparation is nature based cosmetics. No synthetic surfactant, few
preservatives can only be used. So there is uncertainty in best product
preparation.
The problem of formulating with less ingredients may lead to the formation of
product that may not work as well with synthetic chemical based
competition. Consumers shall do some compromises for the fact that they are
using natural based products but do not want to give up functionality for the
sake of naturalness or sustainability as this is the beauty business.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 12
13. Stability problem: One of the main problem faced in formulating herbal
cosmetics preparation is the stability of herbal component both prior and
after formulation as they are to be degrade easily by many physiochemical
process.
• Deterioration happens especially during storage, leading to the loss of the active
ingredients, production of metabolites with no activity and, in extreme cases, the
production of toxic metabolites.
• Physical factors such as air (oxygen), humidity, light, and temperature can bring
about deterioration directly or indirectly.
Safety and efficacy assessment has to be developed on each batch of
manufacturing cycle thus the task become more tedious and time consuming.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 13
14. From the manufacturer points of view, raw materials in bulk quantity and
quality is hard to obtain which leads breakage in continuous production cycle
of herbal cosmetics.
• Raw materials obtained from different place with varying climate cannot be
treated as same as there arises difference in herbal potency.
• No specific criteria is given which may lead to irregularity in production cycle.
Poor quality of raw materials: Herbal cosmetics require the careful cultivation
of plants and herbs in their natural environment.
• The raw material for herbal cosmetics company cannot be mass produced in a
factory. Neither can one reproduce these in a matter of minutes in a laboratory.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 14
15. Constrains of Herbal formulation
A. Constrains associated with handling of medicinal plants:
Indiscriminate harvesting and poor post-harvest treatment practices.
Lack of research on development of high-yielding varieties, domestication
etc
Poor agriculture and propagation methods.
Inefficient processing techniques leading to low yield and poor quality
products
Poor quality and control procedures
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 15
16. Lack of cGMP for preparation
Lack of R&D on product and process development.
Difficulties in marketing.
Lack of trained personnel and equipment.
Lack of facilities to fabricate equipment locally.
Lack of access to latest technological and market information
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 16
17. B. Constraints associated with the dealing of Herbal Medicines:
Both the raw herb and the extract contain complicated mixtures of organic
chemicals which may include fatty acids, sterols, alkaloids, flavonoids,
glycosides, saponins, tannins and terpenes as well as other small molecules
such as peptides and oligosaccharides.
• It is often difficult to determine which component, if any, of the herb has
biological activity in humans.
Adulteration of herbal products can be made in various ways; commonly,
adulteration is made by substituting other easily available or cheap plant
species or sometimes by spiking of a product with synthetic constituents.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Assam Down Town University 17
18. In addition, the processing of herbs, such as heating or boiling, may alter the
dissolution rate, or even the functional activity of the organic constituents.
Similarly, a host of environmental factors, including soil, altitude, seasonal
variation in temperature, atmospheric humidity, length of daylight, rainfall
pattern, shade, dew, and frost conditions, may affect the levels of
components in any given batch of an herb.
Other factors, including insects, planting density, competition with other
plant species, seeding time, and genetic factors, play an important role.
Plant collection for the use in botanicals is one of the factors of concern for
quality. Plants collected in the wild may include non-targeted species,
especially either by accidental substitution or intentional adulteration.
