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.

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.

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!

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.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

9. Men may be more receptive to STI prevention
messages if they understand that STI
threaten their health and fertility, and may
endanger the lives of their wives, girlfriends
and children.
10. Challenges How to address
Men may not feel comfortable
using services mainly used by
women.
Establish men only clinic or
have dedicated hours for men
services
Ensure privacy and
confidentiality
Men may feel shame or
embarrassment about seeking
information or treatment for
STI/
RTI.
Create general public
awareness
Provide better experiences to
those attending the clinic so
they recommend others to seek
Services
Provide adequate information
to those attending the clinic

There is a lack of
confidentiality
for men if their partners are
with
them.
Have proper arrangements for
privacy to men and women in
the clinic
Assure them and maintain
Try couple counseling rather
than individuals
Treating men may take time
and
resources away from women.
Assign adequate time to men
as well as women
Make available enough
resources and manpower for
handling the load of STI/RTI
clinic/RH clinics
Treating men requires new
skills
from providers.
Train providers to respond to
STI/RTI management needs of
both men as well as Women
12. Adolescents more vulnerable
◦ Less access to health facilities
◦ Failure to recognize symptoms
◦ Lack of sex education
13. Adolescent and youth 10-24 yrs 30%
population in 2001 census- 225 million
Premarital sex at early age common
More than half currently married illiterate
women below 18 yrs
20% of 1.5 million women married under 15
yrs are already mothers
Young people more vulnerable to HIV and are
infected through unprotected intercourse
Protection against infection and pregnancy
involve same strategy and services as adults
14. Youth lack accurate knowledge about the
body, sexuality, sexual health and STI.
Changing partners is more common among
youth than among older men or women who
may be in stable relationships.
15. The female genital tract is not mature and is
more susceptible to infection.
Females have submissive attitudes towards
men.
Young women may have their first sexual
experiences with older men.
16. Young men often have a need to prove sexual
powers.
Young men may have their first sexual
experiences with sex workers.
17. Lack of services: little access to family
planning or services for treatment or
prevention of STI.
Lack of access to condoms.
Provider, parent, teacher, and community

come to the clinic for treatment.
19. Key issues to be communicated are:
A - Abstinence
B - Be faithful to your partner
C - Use condoms
D - Early diagnosis
E – Ensure cure
20. High risk group population comprises the
people who sell sex for money or favors, the
sex workers, men having sex with men
(MSMs), transgender and intravenous drug
users (IDUs).
High potential to transmit infections to others
To provide care in a non- judgmental and
compassionate way.
21. Because of the mindset of community, there is a
stigma for HRG and therefore they are not always
welcome by general population.
Though women and transgenders who trade sex
are often at the highest risk for STI/RTI, they are
often the least likely to seek STI/RTI services.
The female sex workers also has the same kind
of barriers to care for themselves that affect all
women.
HRG often find that services may be highly
stigmatized. The providers may judge them
harshly as immoral and may treat them badly.
22. You can make a big difference in the life of
HRG by helping them get the care they needs
and prevent transmission of STI to the wider
population.
Give the same respectful care to HRG as you
give to others.
