It has been a longstanding challenge to integrate patient data from EMRs (Electronic Medical Record systems) with EDC (Electronic Data Capture) systems for clinical studies and trials.
The challenges include:
Low adoption rates of EMRs in physician practices
Lack of interoperability tools provided by vendors to extract data from EMRs
Lack of standardized payload (content) and method of delivering (transport) from different EMRs to the EDC systems
All subjects of clinical studies not being part of the same health system and therefore same EMR
Lack of automated methods for identifying the same patient between EMRs and EDC systems
Inability to map and translate the EMR data into CRFs (case report forms) of the EDC systems
These hurdles have been so high that the task has rarely been attempted in earnest, let alone accomplished in any significant way. That is until recently. How are these challenges being overcome today? What changes have allowed this integration to be to considered and implement today? The answer is: lots!

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
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!

It is built for speed, productivity, and usability; increasing patient seen and efficiency therefore increasing revenue.It adapt to different workflow requirement by the staff and providers. It can be customized by the user to meet data need and design preference.Many ranges of functionality to help physician’s productivity and efficiency, such as ePrescribing, Data Capture, Reporting, Lab Management, Order management, and chart access.Multiple integration into Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), eprescription, order management, Orthopaedics, Opthalmology, and transcription.National network of references is a provided ready references with variety of case studies and testimonial by physician.
There are many stakeholder in the Electronic Health Record System, some are outside the organization, some within the organization, and during implementation.
There are numerous stakeholders in the implementation of Electronic Health Record. Each have their own special reason or interest for it to be a successful endeavor. These stakeholders can be broken down into two interest areas, one is out side the organization and the other is within the organization. The interest parties out the organization are; the Software Developer and Sales, Policymakers or Federal Government, Families and Patients or the Community, and the Payers or the Insurers. The stakeholder within the organization are more detailed and have higher vested interest on the success of the program, these are the Chief Executive Office or his or her representative like the Project Manager, all Directors (Medical, Nursing, Ancillary, Surgical, Administration, and Facilities), Specialty Services and Outpatient Clinics, and Chief Information Officer
The different role of these representatives or champions of their respective department or directorate will be explained further during the presentation.
