It is indeed a fact that the nurse-managed health centers and clinics (NMHCs) have worked to provide patient care at more convenient locations. Throughout the country, there are 250 NMHCs recordings more than 2.5 million patients annually with a capacity to serve millions more. They are located primarily in medically underserved locations including low-income urban neighborhoods and rural areas. These centers are critically important as safety net providers of care for the medically underserved. They have a reputation for providing high-quality, cost-effective care and achieving high patient satisfaction rates. Nurse-led care is significantly low in cost than physicians or an urgent care facility. NMHCs are cost-effective. The NMHC majors on wellness promotion, disease prevention, and management of chronic conditions including asthma, hypertension, and diabetes. They also provide dental, behavioral health; health education; environmental health risk reduction; and parenting education services which is a good for the healthcare system (Hansen-Turton, Bailey, Torres, & Ritter, 2010).
NMHCs serve the patients least likely to receive ongoing health care services including uninsured, underinsured, or patients living in poverty who are unable to pay for care and thus charged on a sliding scale or treated for free. The main challenge for NMHCs is money problems as they struggle to achieve fiscal sustainability. They serve poor communities and depend on Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement, private grants, and government contracts and grants. Most are operated by schools of nursing, and some of these receive financial assistance from their parent organizations but this limits their federal funding availability. Because many NMHCs are unable to access the financial resources available to other safety net providers, many are struggling to care for uninsured, and vulnerable in the community.

s including policy framework to increase federal and state funding, stop the discriminatory reimbursement discriminating against NPs acting as primary care providers (Hansen-Turton, Bailey, Torres, & Ritter, 2010).

There is a need for change from nurse-managed health centers and clinics due to the evolving health care systems and patient needs. The transformational practice is required to provide patient-centered care services at a lower cost and meets the increasing demand for care from an increasing population. The challenges that come with transforming practice include the shortages of primary care providers and insufficient resources (Auerbach ET AL., 2013). To address these problems that affect change including the integration of liberalized policies, increased training, facilitating payment changes and rewards, and increasing the number of licensed practicing nurses and aides.

Primary care in Europe: can we make it fit for the future?Nuffield Trust
In this slideshow, we explore how and why primary care organisation and delivery needs to change and the factors driving this.
We draw on case studies from various European primary care experts who presented at the European Health Summit 2013, an event supported by KPMG, to review the extent to which different models of primary care are already achieving the characteristics of successful primary care, and how they are doing this.

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
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
