This document discusses different types of abuse against women including physical, psychological, social, and the impact on health. Physical abuse involves using physical force that causes harm. Psychological abuse diminishes identity, dignity and self-worth through actions like humiliation and isolation. Social abuse cuts women off from support systems. Abuse has serious short and long term health consequences including injuries, mental health issues, and increased risks for sexual and reproductive health problems. Prevention requires a multi-sectoral approach including empowering women, ensuring services, reducing poverty, and transforming social norms. The health sector plays an important role in advocacy, screening and treatment, and promoting healthy relationships.

Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. It arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles.
Gender equality, also known as sex equality, sexual equality, or equality of the genders, is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on their gender.
العناية بالطفل هي عملية شاملة تهدف إلى تلبية احتياجات الطفل الجسدية والعاطفية والاجتماعية والعقلية. إن العناية الجيدة بالطفل تلعب دورًا حاسمًا في تطويره ونموه الصحيح وسعادته العامة. فيما يلي وصف طويل لبعض جوانب العناية بالطفل:
1. الرعاية الجسدية:
- التغذية: يجب توفير تغذية صحية للطفل، سواء من خلال الرضاعة الطبيعية أو الرضاعة الصناعية. ينصح بالرضاعة الطبيعية حديث الولادة، ويجب تقديم الأطعمة الصلبة المناسبة حسب العمر عندما يكون الطفل جاهزًا لها.
- النوم: يحتاج الطفل إلى نوم كافٍ لتطوير جهازه العصبي واستعادة طاقته. ينصح بتوفير بيئة هادئة ومريحة للنوم وتحديد جدول زمني منتظم للنوم.
- النظافة: يتطلب الطفل النظافة اليومية، بما في ذلك الاستحمام المنتظم وتنظيف الأذنين والأنف والأظافر بلطف. كما يجب تجنب التعرض المفرط للمواد الكيميائية المهيجة لبشرته.
2. العناية العاطفية:
- التواصل والتفاعل: يجب توفير بيئة داعمة وحنونة للطفل، والتفاعل المستمر معه من خلال الابتسامات والعناق واللمس اللطيف. يعزز هذا الاتصال العاطفي الرابطة بين الطفل والوالدين أو المربين.
- اللعب: يعتبر اللعب وسيلة مهمة لتعزيز تطور الطفل العقلي والجسدي. يجب توفير اللعب المناسب لعمره والاشتراك معه في الأنشطة الترالعناية الاجتماعية:
التواصل الاجتماعي: يحتاج الطفل إلى التفاعل مع العالم الخارجي والتعرف على المجتمع من حوله. يجب تشجيع الطفل على التواصل مع أفراد الأسرة والأصدقاء والمشاركة في الأنشطة الاجتماعية المناسبة لعمره.
تطوير المهارات الاجتماعية: ينبغي تشجيع الطفل على تطوير مهارات التواصل والتعاون والتفاعل مع الآخرين. يمكن تحقيق ذلك من خلال اللعب الجماعي والمشاركة في الأنشطة الاجتماعية.
السلامة والحماية: يجب توفير بيئة آمنة للطفل، مع تأمين المنازل والأثاث لتجنب الحوادث. كما يجب تعليم الطفل بعض المفاهيم الأساسية للسلامة، مثل عدم لمس الأشياء الساخنة وعدم الاقتراب من الأشياء الخطرة.
العناية العقلية:
التحفيز العقلي: ينبغي توفير بيئة غنية بالتحفيز الحسي والعقلي لتطوير قدرات الطفل العقلية. يمكن ذلك من خلال تقديم ألعاب وأنشطة تعزز التفكير الإبداعي والمنطقي والتنمية الحركية.
القراءة والقصص: يعد القراءة للطفل من أهم الأنشطة التي تساهم في تطوير الذكاء والخيال والمهارات اللغوية. ينبغي قراءة القصص المناسبة لعمره والتفاعل معه خلال القراءة.
التعليم المبكر: يمكن بدء تعليم الطفل المبكر عن طريق تقديم ألعاب وأنشطة تعليمية ملائمة لعمره، مما يساعده على تطوير المهارات الأساسية مثل العد وال

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:

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
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

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

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!

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. Objectives:
At the end of the session, we will be able to describe about physical,
psychological and social abuse of women and measures to control
them.
3. Physical Abuse:
• Physical abuse basically involves a person using physical force
against us, which causes, or could cause, us harm.
The United Nations defines violence against women as "any act of
gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical,
sexual, or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of
such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether
occurring in public or in private life."
4. • Intimate partner violence refers to behaviour by an intimate partner or
ex-partner that causes physical, sexual or psychological harm, including
physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling
behaviours. Intimate partner abuse occurs at a higher rate during pregnancy
than other times (Shoffner, 2008).
• Sexual violence is "any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, or other
act directed against a person’s sexuality using coercion, by any person
regardless of their relationship to the victim, in any setting. It includes rape,
defined as the physically forced or otherwise coerced penetration of the
vulva or anus with a penis, other body part or object, attempted rape,
unwanted sexual touching and other non-contact forms".
5. • Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global public health emergency that
has plagued girls and women throughout history. Defined as harmful acts
directed at an individual based on their gender.
• GBV is a constant threat for girls and women around the world regardless
of their age, race, or socioeconomic status. And they are at risk
everywhere and anywhere at work, at school, and at home.
Estimates published by WHO indicate that globally about 1 in 3 (30%) of
women worldwide have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual
intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.
6. Most of this violence is intimate partner violence. Worldwide, almost one
third (27%) of women aged 15-49 years who have been in a relationship
report that they have been subjected to some form of physical and/or
sexual violence by their intimate partner.
In 2020, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime found that, on average, a girl
or woman is killed by someone in her own family every 11 minutes.
7. • At least 155 countries have passed laws on domestic violence, and 140
have legislation on sexual harassment in the workplace (World Bank
2020)
Types of physical abuse:
• Physical abuse can involve any of the following violent acts:
scratching or biting
pushing or shoving
slapping
kicking
choking or strangling
8. Types Of Physical Abuse (Contd…)
throwing things
force feeding or denying us food
using weapons or objects that could hurt us
physically restraining us (such as pinning you against a wall, floor, bed,
etc.)
reckless driving
other acts that hurt or threaten us
9. Psychological/Emotional Abuse:
• Psychological/ Emotional abuse is another form of domestic violence.
• Emotional abuse can happen to anyone at any time in their lives.
• Women, children, teens and adults all experience emotional abuse.
• Emotional abuse can have devastating consequences on relationships and
all those involved.
10. • Emotional abuse is defined as: "any act including confinement, isolation,
verbal assault, humiliation, intimidation, infantilization, or any other
treatment which may diminish the sense of identity, dignity, and self-
worth
11. Following are various example of emotional abuse:-
a. Accusation/ aspersion on her character or conduct
b. Insult for not bringing dowry
c. Insult for not having a male child
d. Insult for not having any child
e. Preventing the wife from taking up a job
12. Social Abuse:
• Social abuse is behaviour that aims to cut us off from our family, friends,
or community.

reproductive health problems for women.
• They also affect their children’s health and wellbeing.
• This violence leads to high social and economic costs for women, their
families and societies.
Have fatal outcomes like homicide or suicide.
Lead to injuries, with 42% of women who experience intimate partner
violence reporting an injury as a consequence of this violence.
21. Health (Contd…)
• Lead to unintended pregnancies, induced abortions, gynaecological
problems, and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV
• WHO's 2013 study on the health burden associated with violence
against women found that women who had been physically or sexually
abused were 1.5 times more likely to have a sexually transmitted
infection and, in some regions, HIV, compared to women who had not
experienced partner violence.
• They are also twice as likely to have an abortion.
22. Health (Contd…)
• Intimate partner violence in pregnancy also increases the likelihood of
miscarriage, stillbirth, pre-term delivery and low birth weight babies.
• The same 2013 study showed that women who experienced intimate partner
violence were 16% more likely to suffer a miscarriage and 41% more likely to
have a pre-term birth.
• These forms of violence can lead to depression, post-traumatic stress and other
anxiety disorders, sleep difficulties, eating disorders, and suicide attempts.
• The 2013 analysis found that women who have experienced intimate partner
violence were almost twice as likely to experience depression and problem
drinking.
23. Health (Contd…)
• Health effects can also include headaches, pain syndromes (back pain,
abdominal pain, chronic pelvic pain) gastrointestinal disorders, limited
mobility and poor overall health.
Sexual violence, particularly during childhood, can lead to increased
smoking, substance use, and risky sexual behaviours. It is also
associated with perpetration of violence (for males) and being a victim
of violence (for females).
24. Impact on the health of Pregnant women
• Common injuries suffered by abused women include burns, lacerations,
bruises, and head injuries.
• Homicide abuse partner abuse is the number-one cause of death in pregnant
women.
• Abused women may have an unintended and unwanted pregnancy because
they were unable to resist sexual advances from their abusive partner.
25. Imapct (Contd..)
• A woman may come for care late in pregnancy or not at all.
• An abused woman may have difficulty following recommended
pregnancy nutrition (she must cook what her partner wants or she will be
beaten).
• She may call and cancel appointments frequently (or simply not keep
appointments) because she has an obvious black eye or a bleeding facial
laceration she does not want to reveal.
26. Impact (Contd…)

sleeved, tight-necked blouses to cover up bruises on her neck or arms.
• A woman who has experienced abuse may be anxious to listen to the
baby’s heartbeat at prenatal visits because her partner recently punched or
kicked her in the abdomen and she is worried the fetus has been hurt.
27. Impact (Contd..)
• If abdominal trauma is suspected, an ultrasound may be done because this
is the most accurate method of assessing fetal health after trauma.
• An ultrasound may reveal minimal placental infarcts from blunt
abdominal trauma. This can lead to poor placental perfusion and low birth
weight.
28. Prevention and response:
• In 2019, WHO and UN Women with endorsement from 12 other UN and
bilateral agencies published RESPECT women which stands for strategy:
R: Relationship skills strengthening;
E: Empowerment of women;
S: Services ensured;
P: Poverty reduced;
E: Enabling environments (schools, work places, public spaces) created;
C: Child and adolescent abuse prevented; and
T: Transformed attitudes, beliefs and norms
29. Role of the health sector
• While preventing and responding to violence against women requires a
multi-sectoral approach, the health sector has an important role to play.
• Advocate to make violence against women unacceptable and for such
violence to be addressed as a public health problem.
• Provide comprehensive services, sensitize and train health care providers
in responding to the needs of survivors holistically and empathetically
30. Role of Heath Sector (Contd…)
Prevent recurrence of violence through early identification of women
and children who are experiencing violence and providing appropriate
referral and support
Promote gender norms as part of life skills and comprehensive sexuality
education curricula taught to young people.
Generate evidence on what works and on the magnitude of the problem
by carrying out population-based surveys, or including violence against
women in population-based demographic and health surveys, as well as
in surveillance and health information system.
