Patient centred care
1) Patient-centered care is a philosophy that encourages shared control of medical decisions between the patient and doctor and focuses on treating the whole patient, not just their disease.
2) The concept developed in the 1950s and key components include understanding the patient's experience of illness and social context, finding common ground on treatment goals, and enhancing the patient-doctor relationship.
3) Benefits of patient-centered care include improved patient satisfaction and adherence, better health outcomes, and decreased medical litigation. While it may take more time initially, average visit lengths are not significantly different than conventional care.

Independent living and assisted living facilities are described that provide varying levels of care and staffing. Memory care, care homes, continuing care retirement communities, and skilled nursing facilities are also outlined. The importance of thoroughly researching options in advance is stressed to find the right senior housing situation.
Long terminsurance planningforyourfuture
Long-term care costs are skyrocketing as more baby boomers require care. The average cost of a one-year nursing home stay is $80,850 but can be as high as $100,000, and long-term care insurance can help cover these costs. Long-term care insurance pays for services like nursing homes, home health care, assisted living facilities, and adult day care. While premiums start at around $1,000 per year for ages 50-54, they rise with age and not all long-term costs are covered. Long-term care insurance may not be necessary for all, especially those with low savings who could qualify for Medicaid.
Choosingthe bestindependentliving
This document provides steps to help choose the best independent living facility for an elderly loved one. It outlines five key steps: 1) Determine the level of care needed by discussing needs with a doctor; 2) Include the elderly family member in decision making to find a place that values their preferences; 3) Consider affordability as prices vary by location and amenities; 4) Tour facilities when staff are less busy to observe interactions; 5) Select a facility that feels welcoming and like a new home rather than an institution. The overall goal is to empower elderly loved ones and find them a caring community.
Ccr cs top10-considerations
When choosing a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), it is important to consider the top 10 factors: the contract type which determines services and costs; upfront and ongoing costs including entrance fees and monthly fees; whether all levels of care are available on campus; the financial status and stability of the community; how information is shared with residents; safety and security features; any record of complaints; the quality of nursing home care; whether the community is accredited; and lifestyle factors like amenities, policies, and fit. Doing research on these key areas can help you select the best CCRC to suit your needs, budget, and preferences.
Adult daycare
Adult day care centers provide supervised care during the day for older adults and individuals with disabilities. They have existed for over 30 years and help those who need assistance with daily activities or are socially isolated. Attending adult day care provides respite for the 50 million caregivers in the US. Families should consider adult day care if the individual needs help managing daily tasks or requires socialization and stimulation. Centers offer activities, meals, medication administration, therapy, and assistance with daily living. Costs range from $25-70 per day and most provide transportation. Medicaid and some private insurance may cover costs. Resources for learning more about adult day care include the National Adult Day Services Association and National Council on Aging.
Adult communities
This document discusses adult communities as an option for seniors who want to relinquish home ownership responsibilities. It provides details on who lives in adult communities, including that residents are independent and active, often having jobs or social calendars. The document outlines the various living options and amenities typically offered at adult communities, such as housekeeping, transportation, and activities. Finally, it notes that socialization is a major benefit, as the maintenance-free lifestyle allows residents to focus on enjoying life.

Physiology of Chemical Sensation of smell.pdf
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

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
