Based on a survey of 624 respondents, 89% believe a good first impression leads to quality dental care. The most important characteristic for a good first impression according to respondents is hygiene (50.5%), followed by ambience (23.7%). An overwhelming majority (74.04%) said the first impression of a dental office is very important.
Why do so many patients dread going to their dentists?
It’s the whole setup. The reclining chair. The bright light
glaring at your face. And the whirring of the drill. Yes. All
these things contribute heavily to an atmosphere of
anxiety, making the patient imagine severe discomfort
and pain before it actually happens.

Kanserli Çocuklara Umut Vakfı, Özellikle LÖSEV ve Türkiye Kanserle Savaş Vakfı'na oranla diğer kanserle savaşan vakıflara göre daha az tanınıyor. Daha az tanınması demek, daha az gönüllüye sahip olduğuna ve daha az bağış aldığı anlamına da geliyor. Bu yüzden bir farkındalık projesine ihtiyacı var diye düşündüm. Bu projede hedef kitlemiz çocuklar değil, onların aileleri. Her ebeveyn etrafındaki çocuğu korumak ister, kendi akrabası olsun ya da olmasın. Çocuklar onların gözünde masumdur ve eğer tehlike anındalarsa onlara karşı duyarlılığımız daha da artar. Bu nedenle Ebeveynlerin yalnızca bu testi kendi çocukları için değil, bu tesi görmeyen ailelere de göndereceği ve bu sayede projenin büyük bir viral etkiye sahip olacağını ön görüyorum. Ayrıca bu projeyle birlikte, insanların erken yaştan itibaren kansere karşı duyarlılıkları da artacaktır.
Kanserde erken teşhisin önemi büyük, erken teşhis tanısı koyulan hastaların yaşama oranları çok yüksek. Yani şimdiden yapılacak bir erken teşhis çocuklarımızı kurtaracak. Bu yüzden projenin adını "Gelecek İçin Erken Teşhis." koydum. Proje bir grup sunumu, fakat ben sadece kendi bölümümü koyabildim.

Changes to Connecticut’s Medicaid program (HUSKY) in 2008 provided a unique opportunity to examine the impact of new policies on the oral health outcomes of low-income children. Higher Medicaid reimbursement rates, streamlined provider enrollment procedures for participating dentists, as well as outreach to communities, individuals and dentists helped expand access to dental services and remedy Connecticut’s most common and treatable chronic childhood disease—tooth decay.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

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
