Swine flu Information, Signs, Prevention and CuresEr. Jay Vora
Swine Flu is spreading very rapidly in India; everyday new cases are getting registered. All are requested to remain vigilant, take precautions and seek immediate medical help in case of any of symptoms observed for self or their family members. PFA, presentation to give you more info about the Flu – its spread, symptoms and list of precautions to be taken.
Prevention is better than cure.
Swine influenza virus (referred to as SIV) refers to influenza cases that are caused by Orthomyxoviruses endemic to pig populations. SIV strains isolated to date have been classified either as Influenzavirus C or one of the various subtypes of the genus Influenzavirus A.
Swine flu infects people every year and is found typically in people who have been in contact with pigs, although there have been cases of person-to-person transmission. Symptoms include fever, disorientation, stiffness of the joints, vomiting, and loss of consciousness ending in death. Swine influenza is known to be caused by influenza A subtypes H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3

This is one helpful presentation on swine flu....
My only concern is that it should serve its purpose of making people more aware about it & help them to keep the disease at bay.

This is a presentation about Coronavirus mainly known as Covid-19. It has a different variant like or such as Omicron Variant, IHU Variant, Delta Variant, and DeltaCron Variant. So I am telling you to please stay home and be safe. #Stay Safe# Stay Home#
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

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.

1. How to Avoid the Flu
Things you can do to stay healthy
Wat U Should Know
2. Wat it is:
• A VIRUS:
• Single celled nasty, smaller than a
bacterium.
• It lives off a host (YOU).
• Replicates itself (inside your body).
• It resists antibiotics.
• In short: It’s BAD NEWS!
3. Symptomz
Fever (100.0°F +)
• Cough
• Other symptoms may include:
• Sore throat
• Headache
• Body aches
• Chills
• Extreme fatigue
• Nausea/Vomiting/Diarrhea
• Runny/Stuffy nose
4. How Flu Spredz
• Person A sneezes or coughs and does not cover it
correctly, or wash hands afterwards.
• Virus lands on a surface where a droplet from
sneeze/cough (hand, desk, doorknob).
• Person B touches eyes, nose or mouth before washing
their hands or breathes in airborne mist from cough or
sneeze.
• Virus invades person B’s body and multiplies. Person B
is contagious for a day or so before showing
symptoms.
5. Kontrol and Prevention
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Get a flu shot or the flu nasal injection.
Hand washing
1. Wet hands.
2. Apply soap and rub for 20 seconds.
(Sing “Happy Birthday” twice)
3. Rinse.
4. Dry.
5. Use paper towel to turn off faucet and open
restroom door. (Assume others haven’t washed as well
as you did.)
• 6. When soap/water are not available, use a hand
sanitizer. Apply a dime sized amount
6. Infection Kontrol
• Cover Coughs and Sneezes Correctly
• Into your sleeve!
• Why is coughing/sneezing in your sleeve better
than coughing/sneezing in your hand?
• You are less likely to spread your germs if they
end up on your sleeve than you are if they end up
on your hands.
7. Yuck!
If a tissue is needed, throw it away afterwards
(don’t keep for later!) then wash or sanitize
hands as soon as possible.
• Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, &
mouth
• Avoid close contact with people who are
symptomatic
• Stay home when you are sick
• • Protects others from exposure to virus
• • Slows the spread of illness
