The document describes a case study on using negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to treat a severe peristomal skin complication in a 72-year-old urostomy patient. Standard advanced dressings did not improve the patient's condition. NPWT was then applied, protecting the peristomal skin and changing the dressing every 72 hours. This led to wound edges drawing together and removal of infectious materials to actively promote healing. The case study concludes NPWT is an effective, secure, comfortable and cost-effective alternative for complex peristomal skin disorders.

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!

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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

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.

PERISTOMAL SKIN COMPLICATION MANAGEMENT WITH NEGATIVE-PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY: CASE STUDY
Good morning to everybody
My name is Danila Maculotti and I am an ET nurse from Brescia, Italy.
I have been working at Fondazione Poliambulanza for 17 years and I am very proud to tell you that this hospital was recently rated among the best Hospitals in Italy in terms of Health Care Services offered to Patients and has just received the Joint Commission International accreditation.
In my presentation today i will deal with the treatement of a peristomal skin lesion with negative pressure wound therapy
“Gud moning tu evrybady. Mai neim is DM end ai em en IT ners from Brescia in Italy. I hev biin uorching et Fondazione Poliambulanza for seventiin iars end I em very praud tu tell iu det dis ospital uas risently reitid among de best hospitals in Italy in terms of helty Cher Servisis offerd tu pescents end hes giast risaivd de Gioint Commiscion Internescional accreditetion. In may presentetion tudey ai uill dil wit de tritment ov e peristomal skin lijon wid negativ pressciar vund terapy.”
The occurrence of a complex peristomal lesion in an ostomy patient implies many issue.
It worsen the already severe clinical situation, especially because managing the stoma becomes harder and the healing of the wound is delayed
“De occurrans ov e complex peristomal skin lijon in an ostomy pesscient implais meny iscius. It uorsen de olreadi sevier clinical situetion, espescially bicos menaging de stoma becoms arder end de hiling of de vund is delaid.”
The goal of this case study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in the management og a severe peristomal skin complication in a urostomy patient.
Because of the challenging skin condition, any ostomy device couldn’t stay in place at the beginning. So the second goal was to obtain
the improvement of the skin conditions in order to manage the ostomy with a proper device.
“De gol ov dis ceis stady wos tu evalueit de effectivness of de negativ pressciar vund terapy in de menagment of e seviar peristomal skin complichescion in e iurostomi pescient.

The patient of this case study is a 72 year old woman who experienced an advanced metastatic bladder cancer. She has a complex medical case:
Urostomy
overweight
Arterial hypertension
diabetic
- Impaired mobility
The patient has a severe peristomal skin lesion L4 – TV, according to the SACS Scale. The treatment of the skin complication was a priority in order to manage the ostomy with a proper medical device.

At first the patient was treated with advanced dressings according to the current protocol with no improvement in the patient clinical conditions
In a second phase the patient was treated with negative pressure wound therapy. Let’s go through the various steps of this succesful procedure
“Et ferst de pescient wos tritid wid advancd dressings according to de carrent protocol wid no impruvment in the petient clinical condiscions
In e second fase de pescient wos tritid wid negativ presciar vund terapy. Lez go tru de varius steps ov dis suxxesful procidur”
I will now show you step by step how we treated the patient’s wound:
We started protecting the periwound skin with a sterile grease gauze, in order to preserve that area from Negative Pressure
Then we applied the Stomahesive Paste to flatten and protect peristomal skin from urine leakages
“Ai will nau sciou iu step bai step hau ue trited de pescients uond:
Wi started protecting de perivund skin wid e sterail grisi gous, in order tu priserv dat aria from Negativ Presciar
Den wi applaid de Stomahesiv Peist tu flatten ed protect peristomal skin from iurin likagis”
As we experienced some challenges in adapting the Polyurethane Foam to the peristomal area, we decided to protect the skin with a sterile gauze
“es wi espiriensd sam ciallengis in adapting de Poliurethan Fom tu de peristomal eria, wi desaided to protect de skin wid e sterail gouz”
The last step was applying the VAC Therapy.
The patient was treated with a new wound dressing every 72 hours.
In each follow-up visit, we assessed a constantly improving condition of peristomal skin. The treatment was well accepted by the patient; neither negative effects nor intolerance occurred.
“De last step uas applaing de VAC Terapi.
De pescient wos trited wid e niw vund dressing evry seventitu Auars.
In ich follou-ap visit, wi assessd e constantly impruving condition ov peristomal skin. De tritment wos well axeptid bai de pescient; naider negativ effects nor intolerans occurrd.”
After 12 days a significant improvement of the lesion was reported. The skin condition, initially rated L4, improved to L3; this allowed the management of the stoma with an ostomy device.
“After tuelv deis e significant imprivment ov de lijion wos reportid. De skin condiscion iniscially reitid l for impruvd tu El trii; dis ellowd de managment ov de stoma uid en ostomy divais.”
Analyzing this case study we can conclude that:

The case study also allows us to consider the Negative Pressure Therapy as a valid alternative treatment in case of complex peristomal skin disorders. The treatment proved to be effective, secure, cost-effective and comfortable for the patient.
“De cheis stadi oslo ellaus as tu consider de Negativ Presciar Therapy es e valid alternativ tritment in ceis ov complex peristomal skin disorders. De tritment pruvd tu bi effectiv, sechiur, cost-effectiv end comfortebol for de pescient.“
Thanks for your attention.
