Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems. In Western countries, people are considered obese when their body mass index (BMI), a measurement obtained by dividing a person's weight by the square of the person's height, exceeds 30 kg/m2, with the range 25-30 kg/m2 defined as overweight. Some East Asian countries use stricter criteria.

Prevention of stroke in patients with tia
This document provides guidelines from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association for the prevention of future stroke in patients who have experienced an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Some key points:
- Over 690,000 adults in the US experience an ischemic stroke each year, and an additional 240,000 will experience a TIA. The risk of future stroke after an initial event is approximately 3-4% annually.
- The aim of the guidelines is to provide evidence-based recommendations to clinicians for controlling risk factors and preventing recurrent brain ischemia in these high-risk patients.
- Important revisions from the previous guidelines include new sections on sleep apnea and aortic arch atherosclerosis, expanded sections

This document presents guidelines from the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and American College of Endocrinology (ACE) for developing a comprehensive care plan for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). It was created by a task force consisting of over 30 endocrinologists and updates 2011 guidelines. The guidelines provide 67 evidence-based recommendations across 24 questions to guide clinicians in providing integrated care focused on microvascular/macrovascular risk factors beyond just glycemic control. The recommendations emphasize individualized treatment goals for weight, glucose, lipids, blood pressure, and safety over efficacy. The guidelines are intended to serve as an education and decision-making resource for clinicians caring for patients with DM.
Standards of medical care in diabetes—2015
This document summarizes the revisions made to the 2015 Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Key changes include:
- Clarifying recommendations on individualizing treatment targets and strategies based on patient factors.
- Emphasizing the importance of diabetes self-management education and support.
- Updating recommendations on new medications and technologies for treating diabetes.
- Strengthening the evidence for recommendations on cardiovascular risk management and lifestyle interventions to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease
This document reviews cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). It finds that CVD risk is significantly higher in individuals with T1DM compared to those without diabetes. Women with T1DM face an even greater risk of CVD than men with T1DM or healthy women. While management of CVD has largely focused on approaches for type 2 diabetes, T1DM has distinct pathophysiology that warrants further exploration. The review aims to summarize current understanding of CVD in T1DM, identify gaps in knowledge, and highlight areas where more research is needed.

This document summarizes information about the drug Livalo (pitavastatin), including its indications, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, dosage and administration, drug interactions, warnings, and clinical trial results. Livalo is a statin approved to reduce cholesterol levels and treat hyperlipidemia. It works by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver to decrease cholesterol synthesis. Clinical trials demonstrated Livalo to be effective at reducing LDL-C, total cholesterol, and triglycerides and increasing HDL-C compared to other statins like atorvastatin, simvastatin, and pravastatin.
Follow up care of high risk newborn
This document discusses the importance of following at-risk neonates after discharge from the NICU to identify early developmental delays or disabilities. A multidisciplinary team should systematically assess growth, neurodevelopment, hearing, vision and provide family support. Regular screening is needed using tools like the Hammersmith Scale to detect issues and enable early intervention. Close monitoring of at-risk infants can help prevent or reduce long-term morbidities.
Incidence of diabetes india
This study examined the incidence rates of diabetes and prediabetes among Asian Indians over a 10-year period. It found that the incidence rates of diabetes, prediabetes, and overall dysglycemia were high at 22.2, 29.5, and 51.7 per 1,000 person-years respectively. Predictors of progression to dysglycemia included older age, family history of diabetes, higher 2-hour plasma glucose, HbA1c, low HDL cholesterol, and physical inactivity. The results indicate that Asian Indians have among the highest rates of conversion from normal blood sugar to dysglycemia, highlighting the need for public health interventions targeting modifiable risk factors.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. 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.

Physiology of Chemical Sensation of smell.pdf
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
