Menopause is a natural physiological process marked by the loss of ovarian function and fertility. It typically occurs between ages 48-52 and can cause various symptoms due to declining estrogen levels. Long term effects include increased risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. While hormone therapy can provide relief from symptoms, it may also increase risks for some cancers and other conditions. Careful evaluation and treatment of symptoms is important for women's health and quality of life during this transition.
Menopause is signaled by 12 months since last menstruation.
Common symptoms include hot flashes and vaginal dryness. There may also be sleep disturbances. The combination of these symptoms can cause anxiety or depression.
Menopause is a natural process with treatments that focus on symptomatic relief. Vaginal dryness is treated with topical lubricants or estrogen. Medications can reduce the severity and frequency of hot flushes. In special circumstances, oral hormone therapy may be used.

PCOD occurs when a woman’s hormones are imbalanced and numerous cysts accumulate in the ovaries. The only way to identify PCOD is only through the symptoms. Because of the seriousness of the complications that can arise from PCOD, it is extremely important to seek treatment for it immediately. To know more about it, read on…
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a combined metabolic and hormonal disorder found in women. Incidences of PCOS appear to be rising and it is now being diagnosed more often.
Here are 5 facts to know about PCOS, which will help you in clarifying your doubts. The source of information is highly reliable as information is reviewed by doctors.
PCOD prompts disturbances in the menstrual cycle that normally start around the beginning of puberty. Menstrual cycles might be ordinary from the outset and after that become unpredictable, or the beginning of menses might be deferred. The menstrual abnormalities of PCOD are joined by an absence of ovulation, so influenced ladies may encounter infertility. The desire for pregnancy is a factor that prompts numerous ladies with PCOD to initially look for medicinal consideration i.e. PCOD profile tests.

This presentation highlights how you can get the effects of anti-aging medicine through the use of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
Briefly I touch on the new paradigm of anti-aging medicine which focuses on the restoration of normal youthful and physiologic levels of hormones using only biodientical hormone replacement therapy.
Hormones that are touched upon include: Testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormone. The problem that many of us face is the premature decline of natural hormone levels due to stress, toxins, illness and of course aging.
This presentation is mostly geared towards women and replacement of their hormones and how the introduction of these hormones into their body after menopause will not result in an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke or heart attack.
This is to be differentiated from conventional synthetic hormones which are NOT advised for anti-aging medicine. These hormones do carry increased risk of heart attack, stroke and breast cancer and should be avoided at all costs.

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
Report Back from SGO 2024: What’s the Latest in Cervical Cancer?bkling
Are you curious about what’s new in cervical cancer research or unsure what the findings mean? Join Dr. Emily Ko, a gynecologic oncologist at Penn Medicine, to learn about the latest updates from the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2024 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer. Dr. Ko will discuss what the research presented at the conference means for you and answer your questions about the new developments.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

4. what is menopause?
A physiological loss of ovarian hormonal activity
Closely allied to loss of reproductive potential
Permanent cessation of the primary ovarian functions
6. The Ovaries
2 Functions – produce ova & secrete hormones
Start secreting estrogen & progesterone from
puberty to menopause
Most of the beneficial effects derivefrom
estrogen
7.
8. actions of estrogen
formation of the 20 sex characteristics
develop ovaries, tubes, uterus & vagina
endometrial proliferation
9. actions of estrogen
increases fat deposition
maintain the skin & vessels
bone - increase formation & reduce resorption
10. When does menopause occur?
Tends to occur over aperiod of years
A consequence of biological ageing
Genetic & environmental factors
Asian women – 48 - 52 years
12. Perimenopause
-the time just before and soon after the
occurence of menopause
-symptoms of menopause have started
-not yet certain if menopause is established
yet
13. Diagnosis of menopause
The diagnosis of menopause is mainly clinical
•a. Clinical Criteria
1.age around menopause ( around 50 years )
2.no periods for 12 months
3.menopausal symptoms
•( NB. All 3 clinical criteria need not be present for a diagnosis )
•Laboratory diagnosis is generally not necessary for the diagnosis of
menopause. However, where in doubt, laboratory testing of FSH may support
the diagnosis, viz
•b. Laboratory Criterion
•1. FSH level > 35miu/ml
25. Perimenopausal abnormal bleeding
- Infections are the most common occurrence
- All these must be ruled out before a diagnosis of
perimenopausal bleeding is made
27. Cardiovascular disease
CV risk increases as estrogen levels decline
1 in 2 women will die from cardiovascular disease
Estrogen exerts beneficial effects on CV system through
- Direct effect on the vasculature
- Indirect effect of lipid metabolism
,
35. Potential risks & concerns
-Breast cancer
-Cardio vascular disease
-Venous thrombosis
-Endometrial cancer
-Compliance/therapy
36. Current Recommendations
-hormone therapy should be initiated for the
treatment of menopause-related symptoms
-the lowest dose should be used for the
lowest duration
-5 years recommended for estrogen+prog
therapy
37. Current Recommendations
- hormone therapy risks
- deep vein thrombosis & pulmonary emboli
- increased risk of breast cancer with est+prog
combination
38. - improves bowel function
- stabilizes your hormones
- assists with weight loss
49. Menopause is a natural occurrence
It is associated with long-& short-term issues
Some of the menopausal symptoms may mimic medical disorders
The important points
50. Postmenopausal conditions such as bleeding & masses must be
seriously looked into
Hormone therapy should be used but it has its problems
The important points
