The document discusses how meditation is being used increasingly in medical settings to treat various health conditions. While originally a religious practice, studies show meditation can help with depression, anxiety, pain, and other issues by relaxing the mind and body. It improves understanding of one's thoughts and how to make lifestyle changes. Doctors are finding meditation can benefit patients when used alongside traditional treatments by reducing stress and improving well-being, though it should not replace medical care.
The term meditation refers to a group of techniques, such as mantra meditation, relaxation response,mindfulness meditation, and Zen Buddhist meditation. Most meditative techniques started in Eastern religious or spiritual traditions. These techniques have been used by many different cultures throughout the world for thousands of years. Today, many people use meditation outside of its traditional religious or cultural settings, for health and well-being.
In meditation, a person learns to focus attention. Some forms of meditation instruct the practitioner to become mindful of thoughts, feelings, and sensations and to observe them in a nonjudgmental way. This practice is believed to result in a state of greater calmness and physical relaxation, and psychological balance. Practicing meditation can change how a person relates to the flow of emotions and thoughts.
Most types of meditation have four elements in common:
A quiet location. Meditation is usually practiced in a quiet place with as few distractions as possible. This can be particularly helpful for beginners.
A specific, comfortable posture. Depending on the type being practiced, meditation can be done while sitting, lying down, standing, walking, or in other positions.
A focus of attention. Focusing one’s attention is usually a part of meditation. For example, the meditator may focus on a mantra (a specially chosen word or set of words), an object, or the sensations of the breath. Some forms of meditation involve paying attention to whatever is the dominant content of consciousness.
An open attitude. Having an open attitude during meditation means letting distractions come and go naturally without judging them. When the attention goes to distracting or wandering thoughts, they are not suppressed; instead, the meditator gently brings attention back to the focus. In some types of meditation, the meditator learns to “observe” thoughts and emotions while meditating.
Meditation used as CAM is a type of mind-body medicine. Generally, mind-body medicine focuses on:
The interactions among the brain/mind, the rest of the body, and behavior.
The ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors can directly affect health.

The power of meditation and how it affects our brainsBali Holistic
Let us explore how meditation can have healing effects for our body, our mind, our emotions, our soul, and the world. For meditation retreat visit our website http://www.baliholistic.com
Scientific research in recent times has shown that the physiological, psychological and biochemical effects of yoga and meditation are of an anti-stress nature. Streeter et al suggested that yoga-based practices i) correct under activity of the parasympathetic nervous system and GABA systems in part through stimulation of the vagus nerves, the main peripheral pathway of the parasympathetic nervous system, and ii) reduce allostatic load. Other RCTs have suggested that these practices act on hypothalamic– pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA) axis to reduce cortisol levels, and reduce sympathetic tone while increasing vagal activity. This suggest great therapeutic potential as an add-on adjunct to conventional therapies in prevention, management and rehabilitation of psychosomatic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, bronchial asthma, musculoskeletal disorders, depression, anxiety, cancer and de-addiction programmes and post-traumatic stress disorders.
According to a recent mini-review by Innes & Selfe (Frontiers in Psychiatry2014): Meditation reduces perceived stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms, enhances quality of life, decreases sleep disturbance, improves several domains of cognition, reduces sympathetic activation and enhances cardio-vagal tone, both acutely and long term in clinical as well as non-clinical populations. Meditation promotes beneficial changes in CNS dopaminergic and other neurochemical systems, increases blood flow, O2 delivery, and glucose utilization in specific regions of the brain associated with mood elevation, memory, and attentional processing, including the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and anterior cingulate gyrus. Long-term meditation practice is associated with cortical thickening & increased gray matter volume in brain regions involved in attentional performance, sensory processing & intero-ception apparently offsetting typical age-related cortical thinning and gray matter loss. Meditation programs can enhance immune response and clinical outcomes, reduce BP, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, oxidative stress, inflammation and other related risk indices.

Can Meditation Make You Better? Science Says Yes!Jane M
Is meditation a sham? Can meditation do anything besides making you into a more spiritual-seeming human being? Does meditation actually work? Can it make you better, smarter, and more productive? Here's the science behind what meditation can do for you.
Meditation is an experience of relaxing the body, quieting the mind, and awakening the spirit. Meditation encourages a deepening of consciousness or awareness, and also facilitates a deeper understanding of self and others.
Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY), New Delhi under Ministry of AYUSH, GOI was designated as a World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre for Traditional Medicine (Yoga) in April, 2013. WHO Collaborating Centre is supposed to take FOUR work-plans and the second one is – `Organization of capacity building workshops and training programs on the role, scope, practice and evidence-based use of Yoga in non-communicable diseases’.
2nd Capacity Building Workshop was conducted on the theme “Yogic Management of Cancer, Bronchial Asthma & Stroke” at Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, New Delhi from 28th - 30th November, 2016.
The Chief Guests for the inaugural was Dr. Sudhir Gupta, Additional Dy. Director General (NCD), Directorate General of Health Services, Govt of India and Dr Kim Sung Chol, Regional Adviser, Traditional Medicines, World Health Organization Regional Office for South-East Asia.
The capacity building workshop was organised by Dr Ishwar V Basavaraddi Director MDNIY with eminent resource persons and it aimed to train Master Trainers who would carry out the same activity in their locality /organization /concerned State and be Brand Ambassadors for propagating the role of Yoga in non-communicable diseases.
Dr Ananda was invited as a Resource Person for the workshop for orienting and enlightening the participants on the role, scope, practice and evidence-based use of Yoga in non-communicable diseases with special emphasis on Bronchial Asthma.
Dr Ananda's presentation for the National Conference on “CHANGING TRENDS IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION – 2016”- 20th August at Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Pondicherry
Introduction: Recent developments showcased through social media highlight a lack of human values in modern medical professionals. Compassion, empathy and a sincere desire to relieve suffering are found lacking and this seemingly becomes even rarer as qualifications increase. Kidney rackets, unnecessary surgeries, laboratory referral commissions and inflated bills are commonly bemoaned and even recently medical students in Chennai were found throwing a poor dog off their rooftop in glee.
This paper presents the view that introduction of Yoga in medical education may help stem the rot and restore values.
Why yoga?
Yoga is an ancient cultural heritage of India spreading rapidly and being practiced by millions across the globe. It offers a broader perspective of life and refines the personality thus enabling the practitioner to attain their inherent potential in a holistic manner. Yoga is not just a system of exercise but is a way of life. It stresses the importance of social and personal values through the yama (restraints of subhuman tendencies such as violence, stealing and greed etc) and the niyama (humane observances including cleanliness, contentment, self-introspection and dispassionate discipline). The inculcation of these universal values in medical students at the start of their professional career can help them be more humane in their life and profession.
Suggested mechanisms: Numerous physical and mental techniques of Yoga such as asana, pranayama, dharana and dhyana enable attainment of physical, mental and emotional fitness thus enabling them to be skillful and efficient in dealing with omnipresent stressors. A broader worldview enables them to perform their duty in the spirit of nishkama karma (non-attachment to results of actions) thus preventing the unhealthy “Me first”, “Make the most money”, “who cares as long as I am safe” type of attitudes in them. A healthy connection with their inner self creates a cheerful, strong and compassionate being empathetic towards the suffering.
In conclusion: Introduction of Yoga as a holistic way of life with stress on its astha anga (eight components) in the medical curriculum can inculcate a compassionate sense of karuna and seva (selfless service) towards our human brethren. The understanding that illness becomes wellness when we consciously move from the limited sense of “I” to a broader inclusive “WE" will motivate young doctors to be vehicles of change thus restoring once again the much extolled nobility of our medical profession.

Stress is a common problem in modern society, and can have negative effects on both physical and mental health. Meditation is a practice that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation and reduce stress, and in recent years there has been growing scientific interest in the effects of meditation on stress reduction.
Research has found that regular meditation practice can help to reduce symptoms of chronic stress, such as high blood pressure, headaches, and insomnia. A meta-analysis of 47 studies found that mindfulness meditation programs were effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pain, and improving overall well-being (Goyal et al., 2014). Other studies have found that meditation can help to improve cognitive function, including attention, memory, and decision-making (Tang et al., 2015).
The mechanisms underlying the effects of meditation on stress reduction are not yet fully understood, but research has suggested that meditation may help to reduce stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and reducing activity in the sympathetic nervous system (Chiesa & Serretti, 2010). Meditation may also help to reduce stress by increasing activity in brain regions associated with emotional regulation and attentional control, such as the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex (Creswell, 2017).
Overall, the evidence to date suggests that regular meditation practice can have both short-term and long-term benefits for reducing stress and promoting overall well-being. Whether you prefer mindfulness meditation, loving-kindness meditation, or another technique, the key is to find a technique that feels comfortable and effective for you, and to practice regularly in order to see the full benefits.
Recent studies have also investigated the effects of meditation on specific populations, such as healthcare professionals, who may be at increased risk for stress and burnout. One study found that a mindfulness-based stress reduction program was associated with reduced stress, burnout, and perceived stress in healthcare professionals (Krasner et al., 2009). Other studies have found that meditation can help to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans and other trauma survivors (Polusny et al., 2015).
In addition to reducing stress, meditation has been found to have a range of other health benefits. For example, research has suggested that meditation can help to reduce inflammation, improve immune function, and even slow the aging process (Black et al., 2016).

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

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!
Title: Sense of Taste
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 structure and function of taste buds.
Describe the relationship between the taste threshold and taste index of common substances.
Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae
2. Skeptics would ask, “what exactly can sitting in halflotus position or breathing deeply relate to a particular
sick person?” Meditation has been practiced for
centuries and was originally meant to help heighten
understanding of the particular sacred and mystical
forces of life.

4. Today, a growing number
of medical practitioners
and health-related
workers are convincing
people who are sick to
practice meditation.
So why do medical
doctors prescribe a
religious method of
therapy as opposed to
their own jobs and
trainings seriously rooted
from clinical outcomes
and dominantly
influenced by science ?
http://www.meditationdirectories.com
5. Well, you can find studies that show that the ancient
Eastern practice of mindful meditation can provide a great
benefit to patients with depression symptoms, anxiety and
pain.
There are more and more researches which show the
measurable influence of meditation on the
brain, demonstrating that mindfulness programs can
make all of us feel more comfortable, have greater
emotional resilience and strength and fewer sick days.

6. Meditation helps you
understand how your mind
works, and when you know
the way your mind
works, you can begin to
make purposeful changes to
your lifestyle to improve it.
Additionally, meditation
improves your ability to
rationally analyze how you
feel, how you think, and
how you respond to events
that take place around you.

7. It produces a deep state of relaxation plus a tranquil
mind. During meditation, you concentrate and focus
your attention and remove the stream of jumbled
thoughts that may be populating your mind that may be
causing stress.
This process leads to enhanced physical and emotional
well-being.

8. Healing meditations should be straightforward, useful as
well as appealing. The experience begins with simple
movements as well as breathing to organize body and
mind, creates a personal comfort and ease one’s self to
create healing through the entire body, and ultimately by
offering healing towards the entire world.
http://www.meditationdirectories.com
9. Meditation also might be useful if you have a clinical
condition, specifically one that may be worsened simply by
stress. Studies suggest that meditation may help
individuals suffering from Asthma, Allergy symptoms, Binge
Eating, Cancer, Depression, Fatigue, Heart Disease, High
Blood Pressure, Soreness, Sleeps Problems, Drug abuse
and Anxiety Disorders.

10. While there are many kinds of meditation, the
mindfulness method, prevalently used in hospitals
around the world, focuses primarily on breathing.
Practices differ, but the basic idea involves sitting
comfortably, with eyes shut, spine straight and attention
focused on breathing.
http://www.meditationdirectories.com
11. Professional practitioners aim to maintain a
detached, relaxed awareness of their particular
sensations and also their thoughts. Through
mindfulness, experts say, we learn to observe the
present and cultivate clarity of thoughts, psychological
stability, composure and wisdom.
The big question is “do we have to take meditation
more seriously as a medication?
It would be best to still be under the guidance of a
doctor or a health care provider.
http://www.meditationdirectories.com
12. Meditation is considered a
kind of mind-body cure
complementary to
traditional medicine. It
should not be considered
the only solution to
illness, but an additional
therapy to medicines
brought about by tested
research in medical
science.
Meditation isn’t a
replacement for traditional
medical treatment, but it
may be a useful addition
to your other treatments.
