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

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
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
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.

2. overview
Preoperative preparation of the patient is extremely
important. This is the time when the patient can be
properly prepared physically and emotionally for a
planned procedure.
Proper preparation of the patient scheduled to
undergo a surgical procedure can optimize patient
care, comfort, and satisfaction.
During this time, any factors that may affect the risk of
anaesthesia or the proposed procedure can be
identified, minimizing surgical delays, preventable
cancellations, morbidity, and mortality.
3. Goals
Proper planning, assessment, and evaluation of a
patient preparing to undergo surgery are very important to
assure the best outcome.
During this process, the patient's medical condition and
overall health can be evaluated and risk factors identified.
Involve other specialities for consultation, including the
anaesthesia team. Laboratory and other diagnostic testing
may be needed in advance of the procedure to assist with
the evaluation process.
This will also provide an opportunity to present patient
education, address patient concerns, and establish a
trusting relationship between the patient and primary
care provider.
4. Preoperative evaluation should
include:
History.
Physical examination.
Appropriate laboratory tests .
Diagnostic procedures.
An assessment of surgical and anaesthetic risks. Consultations may be
required, depending upon coexisting conditions and/or diseases.
Without appropriate preoperative planning, patients may arrive on the day of
surgery without
receiving or understanding preoperative preparation instructions.
Appropriate testing may not have been done.
Patients may go through the preadmission period without appropriate
intervention until they are assessed by an anaesthesia provider the day of the
procedure, leading to a delay or cancellation of surgery. This can cause undue
stress to the patient and their family, as well as increase costs for both the
patient and the hospital.
5. A complete history and physical
examination:
TIMING:
Healthy patients :can be seen up to the day of surgery.
for patients who have significant medical conditions:
should be obtained at least 1 week before the scheduled
surgery.
AIM: This will allow time for the patient to be optimally
prepared for the procedure both physically and
emotionally. Information gathered at this time will
determine if further diagnostic testing and specialty
consultation are needed.
6. Past medical and surgical records can also be invaluable to
those involved in the patient's care.
patient or family history of anesthesia problems such as
malignant hyperthermia.
When obtaining a medical history, a checklist may be filled
out by the patient. It may be necessary to go over each item
with the patient. Sometimes the patient may not
understand what is being asked, and information may be
omitted. Fore xample, some patients view having had a
caesarean section as "childbirth" and not surgery.
7. Medication History
A detailed medication and drug history is also very
important. Many patients are taking numerous over
the counter drugs and herbal or nutritional products
that can affect the surgery and response to anesthesia.
Many people believe that herbal and nutritional
remedies are harmless because they are "natural" and
usually do not mention them unless specifically asked.
8. Herbal Supplements and Potential
Clinical Effects
Garlic : Inhibited platelet aggregation, enhanced
fibrinolytic activity
Ginger : Inhibits thromboxane synthetase; bleeding.
Gingko :Vasodilation of cerebral and peripheral
arteries (increase in cerebral blood flow, resulting in
an increase in intracranial pressure)Platelet activating
factor is inhibited; increase in bleeding time.
Ginseng : Hypertension, CNS stimulation, possible ↑
in anesthetic requirement.
Chamomile :Anticoagulation
9. Patient is on medication that may
need to be modified due to surgery
•
Intake of chronic medications: for diabetes and
hypertension
Oral anticoagulant
Hormonal replacement therapy
Thyroxine
Estrogen
Oral contraceptives
Corticosteroids
Aspirin
NSAIDS
10. Medication:
a) If patient takes prescribed medication every morning, do so on the morning
of the procedure with just a sip of water.
b) If patients are a diabetic on insulin, take ½ of your morning dose on the
morning of the procedure.
c) For an ache or pain you may use Tylenol as it contains no aspirin.
d) IMPORTANT: patient is not allowed to take any non-steroidal anti
inflammatory medications starting 7 days prior to the procedure. This
includes but is not limited to: Celebrex, Ibuprofen
IMPORTANT: Please check if the patient takes any blood thinners including
but not limited to:i) Coumadin (Warfarin), Pradaxa, or Effient, Plavix.
Persantine (Dipyridamole) , Bufferin, Anacin, Excedrin, Alka-Seltzer
F)Discontinue Redux or any kind of diet pills.
11. The extent of a preoperative
evaluation will depend upon :

13. Guidelines for Perioperative Steroid Replacement
Therapy
5.1. Introduction
Patients on steroids presenting for surgery may have impaired stress
response due to prolonged suppression of hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal
axis, irrespective of route of administration. Underlying
disease process in combination with this suppression may lead to
significant morbidity or mortality in the peri-operative period,
especially in patients who are on high dose steroids (>10mg of
prednisolone or equivalent). Therefore continuation of the same
dose or additional supplementation is indicated depending on the
duration of steroid therapy and degree of surgical trauma. According
to recent research large doses of steroids are not necessary for
replacement in most of the cases.
5.2 Replacement of steroids in the peri-operative period
5.2.1 Patients not on steroids at present
Discontinued within three months
If steroid therapy has been discontinued within three months prior
to surgery treat as if on steroids.
Discontinued more than three months ago
No replacement necessary in the peri-operative period.
14. Patients currently on regular
steroid therapy
Prednisolone 5 mg is equivalent to :
Hydrocortisone 20mg, Methylprednisolone 4 mg, Betamethasone 750 mcg , Dexamethasone 750 mcg
Cortisone 25 mg,Prednisone 5 mg
Triamcinolone 4 mg
<10mg prednisolone per day
Normal hypothalamic-pituitary axis
No additional steroid cover required
>10mg prednisolone per day
Minor surgery (i.e. herniotomy )
Routine preoperative steroid dose or hydrocortisone 25mg iv at induction
Intermediate surgery (i.e. Abdominal hysterectomy)
Routine preoperative steroid dose plus hydrocortisone 25mg iv at induction Postoperative
hydrocortisone 25 mg 6 hourly for 24 hours
Major surgery (cardiac )
Routine preoperative steroid dose plus hydrocortisone 25mg iv at induction
Postoperative hydrocortisone 25 mg 6 hourly for 48-72 hrs
High dose Steroid immunosuppression:
Continue usual immunosuppressive dose until able to revert to normal oral intake
E.g. Prednisolone 60mg/24h=hydrocortisone240mg/24h
15. Grading of Surgery
Grade 1(minor): Excision of skin lesions, Incision & drainage of
skin abscesses
Grade 2(intermediate) :Repair of inguinal hernia; stripping of
varicose veins; adeno- tonsillectomy; arthroscopies
Grade 3(major) :Thyroidectomy; Total abdominal
hysterectomy; lumbar discectomy; endoscopic resection of
prostate
Grade 4(major +) :Total joint replacement; lung surgery;
colonic resection; radical neck resection
16. Conditions for Which Preoperative Evaluations
Strongly Recommended Prior to the Day of Surgery.
Medical conditions :
Inhibiting ability to engage in normal daily activity.
Necessitating continual assistance or monitoring at home
within the past 6 months.
Necessitating Admission within the past 2 months for acute or
exacerbation of chronic condition.
17. Physical Classification of the American Society of
Anesthesiologists (ASA)Status Disease State
