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

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

3. • Hydronephrosis is an aseptic dilatation of the kidney caused
by obstruction
• Dilation of renal pelvis and calyces associated with
progressive atrophy of the kidney
• Urine outflow obstruction
• Obstructive uropathy indicates impedance of urinary flow
anywhere along the urinary tract, upper or lower and
damage to the renal parenchyma due to obstruction at any
site
4. HYDRONEPHROSIS: CAUSES
Causes of Unilateral Ureteric Obstruction
Extramural obstruction:
Adjacent structures neoplasm like those of cervix, prostate,
rectum, colon or caecum
Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis
Retrocaval ureter
Intramural obstruction:
Congenital stenosis, physiological narrowing of the pelviureteric
junction leading to pelviureteric junction obstruction
Ureterocele and congenital small ureteric orifice
5. CAUSES OF UNILATERAL URETERIC
OBSTRUCTION
Intramural obstruction:
Inflammatory stricture following removal of ureteric calculus,
repair of a damaged ureter or tuberculous infection
Neoplasm of the ureter or bladder cancer involving the ureteric
orifice
Intraluminal obstruction:
Calculus in the pelvis or ureter
Sloughed papilla in papillary necrosis (more commonly in
diabetics, analgesic abusers and sickle cell disease)
6. BILATERAL HYDRONEPHROSIS
It is commonly result of urethral obstruction.
Causes:
Congenital
Posterior urethral valves
Urethral atresia
Acquired
Benign prostatic enlargement
Carcinoma of the prostate
Postoperative bladder neck scarring
Urethral stricture
Phimosis
7.
8. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Even with complete obstruction, glomerular filtration persists
for some time
• The filtrate diffuses back to the interstitium an perirenal
spaces
• Affected calyces and pelvis becomes dilated
• High pressure transmitted through collecting ducts:
Cortex: Renal atrophy
Medulla: Renal vasculature compression with diminished
inner medullar blood flow
• The kidney becomes a thin walled, lobulated, fluid filled
sac
9. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Effective hydroureteronephrosis on renal function depends
on whether it is totally or partially obstructive and unilateral
or bilateral
• Effects of obstruction of the kidney are time dependent.
Within several hours, changes are evident but:
1–2 week:glomerular destruction, tubular atrophy,
and interstitial fibrosis occur
By 6–8 week: irreversible damage occurs
10.
11. • Early stage: Elongation and dilatation of ureters due to mild obstruction
• Later stage: Further dilatation and elongation with kinking of the ureter, fibrous
band causes further kinking
12. CLINICAL FEATURES
Unilateral Hydronephrosis ( commonly by idiopathic
pelvicureteric junction obstruction or calculus)
• More common in women and on right side
• May remain silent for long periods, being apparent in course of
imaging studies (about 3% of population)
• Mild pain or dull aching in loin (dragging heaviness worsened by
excessive fluid intake)
• Kidney may be palpable
• Intermittent Hydronephrosis (Dietl’s crisis)
13. CLINICAL FEATURES
Bilateral Hydronephrosis:
Loin pain
Features of bladder outlet obstruction: Polyuria, Nocturia,
Dysuria, Hesitancy
Kidneys usually not palpable
Inability to concentrate urine which may be associated with
distal tubular acidosis, chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis, renal
and renal salt wasting
14. CLINICAL FEATURES
• Complete Bilateral Obstruction:
Rapid onset oliguria or anuria that is incompatible with
survival until obstruction is relieved. After relief, post
obstructive diuresis with large amount of sodium chloride
• Ureters and pelvis dilatation in pregnancy:
Up to 20th week .Back to normal within 12 weeks of delivery
Effect of high progesterone on smooth muscles
15. POSSIBLE EXAMINATION
FINDINGS
• General condition: pain or localized symptoms
• Abdominal, flank, or pelvic mass
• Flank tenderness can occur along with acute obstruction
and with calculi or infection
• Vaginal exam– Ureteral prolapse
• Digital rectal exam– Enlarged prostate, nodularity suggestive
of prostate cancer
16. INVESTIGATIONS
• Ultrasound scanning:
least invasive, regularly used for pelviureteric junction
obstruction
• Intravenous Pyelogram:
Significant function in obstructed kidney
Contrast fills the obstructed system down to blockage
Can take follow up films 36 hours after the injection of
contrast
17. INVESTIGATIONS
Isotope renography
Best to confirm obstructive dilatation of collecting system
Technetium 99m-labelled DTPA (diethylenetriaminepenta-
acetic acid or MAG-3) injected intravenously and tracked
using gamma camera
99mTc-DTPA stays in renal pelvis in obstructed site
18. Isotope renogram series shows a late accumulation and
persistence of radioactivity in the left kidney
19. INVESTIGATIONS
Whitaker test
Percutaneous puncture made in kidney, fluid is infused at
constant rate with monitoring intrapelvic pressure,
Abnormal rise in intrapelvic pressure confirms obstruction
Retrograde Pyelography
Confirms site of obstruction
Done immediately before corrective surgery
20.
21. TREATMENT
• Hydronephrosis is not a specific diagnosis but a finding or
sign
• Management is highly dependent on underlying condition
and the timing (acute vs. chronic)
• Urgent decompression is needed with:
– Severe pain
– Active urinary tract infection and acute kidney insufficiency
– Retrograde ureteral stent or percutaneous
nephrostomy can provide equally effective drainage
22. MEDICAL THERAPY
• Patients with infection and hydronephrosis require antibiotic
therapy and drainage
• Renal failure and electrolyte abnormalities should be
corrected in conjunction with drainage
• Along with these, catheter drainage may be required as well
23. TREATMENT
• Indications for surgery:
Bouts of renal pain
Increasing Hydronephrosis
Evidence of parenchymal damage and infection
• Mild cases followed by serial ultrasound scans and operated
upon if dilatation is increasing
• Nephrectomy considered only when kidney largely
destroyed
24. ANDERSONS-HYNES
PYELOPLASTY
• Upper third of ureter and renal pelvis is mobilized
• Renal vein can be divided but artery should be preserved
• Anastomosis formed in front of artery
• A nephrostomy tube or ureteric stent protects the
anastomosis
• Laparoscopic pyeloplasty, a minimal access procedure is
becoming increasingly popular
25.
26. ENDOSCOPIC
PYELOPLASTY
• Disruption of pelviureteric junction by a balloon passed up
the ureter and distended under radiographic control
• Long term efficacy still need to be proved
29. CLINICAL FEATURES
• Triad of
1. Anaemia
2. Fever
3. Loin swelling
• Symptoms of cystitis (burning sensation, persistent urge to
urinate, increased frequency, haematuria, pelvic discomfort,
fever)
• Infected Hydronephrosis: Large swelling, high grade fever
with rigors
30. INVESTIGATIONS
• May reveal calculus (complication: most common cause)
• Dilatation of pus filled collecting system
31. TREATMENT
• Surgical emergency due to high risk of permanent renal
damage and lethal septicaemia
• Parenteral antibiotics along with kidney drain
• Percutaneous nephrostomy, if pus is too thick open
nephrostomy is considered
• Nephrectomy is appropriate if kidney is totally destroyed
and the contralateral side kidney function is good
