Mental illness affects a significant portion of the population. Approximately 26.5% of those affected have severe illnesses that prevent them from functioning normally. Many with severe, untreated mental illness end up homeless. Studies show 20-40% of homeless people suffer from severe mental illness. Deinstitutionalization has contributed to this by reducing hospital stays and insufficient community-based care, creating a revolving door system. Dislocation and migration can also increase trauma and lack of access to support and resources. The stigma around mental illness further isolates people, exacerbating their vulnerability. Those displaying symptoms like bizarre behavior or beliefs, poor self-care, or changes in mood or sleeping patterns may need to be assessed by mental health professionals. More support

In our country plenty of legal orders interact with mental disorders in order to protect the interests of mentally ill, society and the state.These legislations are enacted to protect the society from dangerous manifestations of mental illness. There are guidelines regarding restrain, admission and discharge, procedures of civil and criminal action with regard to mentally ill. But do these laws discuss about proper care and treatment? Are there provisions for post discharge care and rehabilitation?

DISCUSSION 1Describe the origins and nature of hospice care..docx

SusanaFurman449

DISCUSSION 1 Describe the origins and nature of hospice care. What social factors inspired its recent growth? Discuss any experience you have had or heard from others about hospice. Is there anything you would change or add to the system? DISCUSSION 2 Identify and discuss two aspects of the “death system” which conflict with each other. Comment on the growing concern for the environment around the dying person. Week 3 Essay Background: Occasionally a dying person seems to pay a preliminary visit to their post death state. In Final Gifts, Chapter 8, Callanan writes about these experiences. What can we know about the after death experience has fascinated mankind and been the topic of sacred texts throughout history. You can explore this topic as discussed in the course texts and web research also, for instance, Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's work on Out of Body Experiences; The Tibetan Book of the Dead; the Egyptian Book of the Dead, or Bertrand Russell essay on “Do We Survive Death?” or he Navajo understanding of death and many more books and essays on the subject. Your assignment: Using the course texts and internet research which may include references given just above, respond to this question in an essay of about three-six pages: · Compare the belief systems concerning death for at least three of the religious traditions we have studied so far or others of your choosing. Conclude by stating which of these resonates most strongly with you, and explain why. Your essay should have a minimum of THREE references. From the Expert: The Death System In this course, you are working closely with the text Death, Society, and Human Experience by Robert K. Kastenbaum. The text explores the nature of dying and death in our society from a multiplicity of perspectives. Kastenbaum defines the death system: “We face death alone in one sense, but in another and equally valid senses, we face death as part of a society whose expectations, rules, motives and symbols influence our individual encounters. …Most of us phase in and out of the death systems as circumstances dictate” (p. 75). Death weaves in and out of our lives from disasters like Hurricane Katrina to the controversy about the war in Iraq to the death of someone we love to the warnings on our medicine vials and late night television ads about life insurance. The fact of death is so integrated into our lives that we rarely are aware of how pervasive the concerns related to it are. The Functions of the Death System The death system in a society serves many functions for its citizens. It includes warnings and predictions such as our weather service does during the hurricane season. It makes billions of dollars available for research on new sources of medicine like Gila monster venom treatment for diabetes. It involves the creation of pet cemeteries as increasingly isolated members of society consider their pets as their family. It encourages development of grief counse.

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

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade

Prof. Marcus Renato de Carvalho

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. Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.

ACUTE SCROTUM.....pdf. ACUTE SCROTAL CONDITIOND

DR SETH JOTHAM

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum. There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle. Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction. The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
