This document provides an overview of epilepsy including its etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and management. Some key points include: Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures and can be caused by genetic or acquired factors in approximately 30% of cases. It affects about 50 per 100,000 people. Abnormalities in ion channels or inhibitory/excitatory neurotransmission in the brain lead to seizures. Treatment involves anti-seizure medications to modulate ion channels or inhibitory neurotransmission as well as non-pharmacological options like the ketogenic diet or neurostimulation devices for treatment-resistant cases.

A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain. It can cause changes in your behavior, movements or feelings, and in levels of consciousness. If you have two or more seizures or a tendency to have recurrent seizures, you have epilepsy.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement
A group of chronic CNS disorders characterized by recurrent seizures.
Seizures are sudden, transitory, and uncontrolled episodes of brain dysfunction resulting from abnormal discharge of neuronal cells with associated motor, sensory or behavioral changes.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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

3. INTRODUCTION:
Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological condition characterised by:
• Recurrent seizures
• Loss of consciousness
• With or with out body movements
It is derived from a greek word Epi – upon, Leptos – seizures.
It is also known as seizure disorder.
Seizures are nothing but sudden, excessive, abnormal discharges of cerebral neurons.
It is usually controlled but not cured.
World epilepsy day is celebrated on MARCH 26th
every year.
It is also known as purple day & it was designed to raise awareness on epilepsy.
FIG NO 1: LOGO OF PURPLE DAY
ETIOLOGY:
In 28% cases cause can be determined, rest 72% are idiopathic ( of unknown cause)

FIGURE NO 2: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF EPILEPSY
8. INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF EPILEPTIC SEIZURES
I.) Partial / Focal seizures (seizures begin locally)
A. Simple (without impairment of consciousness)
B. Complex (with impairment of consciousness)
C. Secondarily generalized (partial onset evolving to generalized tonic-clonic
seizures)
II.) Generalized seizures (bilaterally symmetrical and without local onset)
A. Absence
B. Myoclonic
C. Clonic
D. Tonic
E. Tonic-clonic
F. Atonic
G. Infantile spasms
III.) Unclassified seizures
IV.) Status epilepticus

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
9. TYPE OF GENERALISED SEIZURE CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Absence / petit mal Happen exclusively in childhood and early adolescence
The child goes blank & stares; fluttering of the eyelids and
flopping of the head may occur.
The attacks last only few seconds & often go un recognized.
Myoclonic Involuntary shock-like jerks, which may involve the whole body,
or the arms or the head.
Tonic-clonic / grand mal Commonest of all epileptic seizures.
Without warning the patient suddenly goes stiff, falls and
convulses
Laboured breathing and salivation, cyanosis, incontinence and
tongue biting may also occur.
The convulsion ceases after a few minutes and may often be
followed by a period of drowsiness, confusion, headache and sleep.
Atonic / falling out The patient looses consciousness, muscle tone. No muscle
movements are typically noted, & the patient will fall when they
are not lying down or sitting in chair.
9
TABLE NO 3:GENERALIZED SEIZURES (BILATERALLY SYMMETRICAL AND WITHOUT LOCAL ONSET):
10. TYPE OF PARTIAL SEIZURE CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Simple partial seizures The patient will have a sensation of uncontrolled
muscle movement of a portion of their body
without an alteration in consciousness
Complex partial seizures Alteration in the patients level of consciousness
Secondarily generalized Partial onset evolving to generalized tonic-clonic
seizures
10
TABLE NO 4: PARTIAL / FOCAL SEIZURES (SEIZURES BEGIN LOCALLY)
Status epilepticus: If it lasts ≥ 5 min ongoing / without returning to normal
11. DIAGNOSIS:
Neurological examination / neuropsychological tests - Doctor tests for behavior, motor
abilities, mental function & other symptoms.
Medical history
Electroencephalogram (EEG) – Tracks electrical signals from the brain.
CT scan, MRI scan – Used to detect abnormalities in brain ( tumors, bleeding, cysts)
fMRI – Used to measure the changes in blood flow
PET ( Positron Emission Tomography) – Used to visualize active areas of brain & detect
abnormalities
SPECT ( Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography) – Used when MRI & EEG
didn’t pinpoint the location in brain where the seizures are originating.
SISCOM ( Substraction Ictal SPECT Coregistered to MRI ) – A form of SPECT test
which may provide even more detailed results.
Genetic testing

3.) Alternative medicines Midazolam
NON PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT:
KETOGENIC DIET:
Ketogenic diet containing high content of fats, followed by proteins, cabohydrates
was found to reduce seizures in some children
FIG NO 6: KETOGENIC DIET
18
19. Side effects: Constipation, slow growth because of nutritional deficiencies, build
up of uric acid in blood , kidney stones
SURGERIES:
Medications can control seizures in most people with epilepsy, but they don’t
work for everyone.
About 30% of people taking the drugs can’t tolerate the side effects. In such
cases, brain surgery may be an option.
1) Lobe resection
2) Lesionectomy
3) Corpus callosotomy/ split brain surgery
