ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

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
Antimicrobial stewardship to prevent antimicrobial resistanceGovindRankawat1
India is among the nations with the highest burden of bacterial infections.
India is one of the largest consumers of antibiotics worldwide.
India carries one of the largest burdens of drug‑resistant pathogens worldwide.
Highest burden of multidrug‑resistant tuberculosis,
Alarmingly high resistance among Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive bacteria even to newer antimicrobials such as carbapenems.
NDM‑1 ( New Delhi Metallo Beta lactamase 1, an enzyme which inactivates majority of Beta lactam antibiotics including carbapenems) was reported in 2008

4. Agenda:
1. Welcome and Introductions
2. Quick poll
3. Why Measure
4. Types of Measures
5. The NACS Measurement Buffet
6. Getting started with the SHN! measures
6. Why Measure?
• To establish benchmarks
• To monitor compliance with policies and
procedures
• To understand the impact/efficacy of your
interventions
• Motivation
7. Types of Measures
Process:
• Measure how people do things
• Most done by auditing or observation
• Purpose is to verify that health care
providers are following procedures
• E.g. donning and doffing PPE, environmental
cleaning
8. Types of Measures
Outcome:
• Measure the impact of what people do
• For example: number of surgical site
infections, number of residents acquiring an
antibiotic resistant organism
10. • Measure the things that provide value for
your setting
Ask yourself?
• Is the information relevant? Will gathering data add
value?
• Can this process or outcome be measured?
• Can the data be fed back to frontline staff in a way
that makes sense to them?
11. Whatever is being measured, it is important
to use the information gathered. Continually
review the data and develop action plans to
address any issues
12. The Measurement Buffet
Process Measures
• Volume of ABHR used
• Volume of soap used
• Number of gowns, boxes of gloves used
13. Process Measures
• % of eligible admissions screened for MRSA
• % of eligible admissions screened for VRE
• Hand hygiene compliance
14. Process Measures Continued…
• % of bed spaces where ABHR is readily
available, full, easy to activate
• % high touch areas in patient environment
where there was appropriate cleaning as
demonstrated by using a fluorescent
marker
15. Process Measures Continued…
• Reduction in mean time to placement on
contact precautions (for known patients
and from time of lab notification)
16. Outcome Measures
• Surveillance for new healthcare
associated MRSA clinical isolates
• Surveillance for new healthcare
associated VRE clinical isolates
• Surveillance for new cases of healthcare
associated C. difficile infection
17. Getting Started
• Take a critical look at your setting
• Identify the data you need to collect
• Get help
• Choose a time period
• Review data/analyze information
• Share data with the frontline
