Suicide is defined as intentionally causing one's own death. Common methods include overdose, poisoning, burning, hanging, drowning, and firearms. Previous suicide attempts are a risk factor, as are mental illness, substance abuse, and life stressors. Repetition is common, with up to 40% of those who die by suicide having attempted previously. Younger individuals and males have higher rates, though elderly individuals also face increased risk. Proper diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, substance abuse, and medical conditions can help reduce suicide risk.

Suicide 1
Self-harm and suicide in adolescents
Keith Hawton, Kate E A Saunders, Rory C O’Connor
Self-harm and suicide are major public health problems in adolescents, with rates of self-harm being high in the teenage
years and suicide being the second most common cause of death in young people worldwide. Important contributors to
self-harm and suicide include genetic vulnerability and psychiatric, psychological, familial, social, and cultural factors.
The eff ects of media and contagion are also important, with the internet having an important contemporary role.
Prevention of self-harm and suicide needs both universal measures aimed at young people in general and targeted
initiatives focused on high-risk groups. There is little evidence of eff ectiveness of either psychosocial or pharmacological
treatment, with particular controversy surrounding the usefulness of antidepressants. Restriction of access to means for
suicide is important. Major challenges include the development of greater understanding of the factors that contribute
to self-harm and suicide in young people, especially mechanisms underlying contagion and the eff ect of new media.
The identifi cation of successful prevention initiatives aimed at young people and those at especially high risk, and the
establishment of eff ective treatments for those who self-harm, are paramount needs.
Introduction
Adolescent self-harm is a major public health concern.
Although suicide is uncommon in adolescents compared
with non-fatal self-harm, it is always a tragic outcome, and
prevention of suicide in young people is under standably a
focus of national strategies for suicide prevention. In this
paper, we discuss self-harm and suicide in adolescents in
terms of epidemiology (especially international diff er-
ences); developmental aspects of self-harm, including
short-term and long-term outcomes; factors that contribute
to the behaviour; and treatment and prevention. This is a
selective paper directed at any professional with an interest
in adolescent suicide and self-harm. We have two aims: to
provide a synthesis of the evidence for adolescent self-
harm and suicide and to identify key areas of uncertainty.
Only a small proportion of individuals who self-harm
present to hospitals, meaning that this behaviou.

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.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

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
Basavarajeeyam is an important text for ayurvedic physician belonging to andhra pradehs. It is a popular compendium in various parts of our country as well as in andhra pradesh. The content of the text was presented in sanskrit and telugu language (Bilingual). One of the most famous book in ayurvedic pharmaceutics and therapeutics. This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
2. Suicide According to Cambridge dictionary “ The act of killing yourself intentionally.” “Any act which has the effect of causing your own defeat.” Wikepedia: Suicide (Latinsuicidium, from sui caedere, "to kill oneself") is the act of a human being intentionally causing his or her own death. a fatal act of self-injury (self-harm) undertaken with more or less conscious self-destructive intent, however vague and ambiguous. 2
3. suicide Suicides are generally under reported therefore the statistics do not reflect actual numbers. However, it is rare for non suicidal deaths to be misclassified as suicide. Most misclassified suicides fall into the category of undetermined deaths and are more like suicides than accidents. 3
4. Suicide Methods of suicide Overdose of drugs Paracetamol, sedatives etc… Poisoning CO, rat poisons Burn, self immolation Gun shot Drowning Electrocution Jumping from height Cutting the wrist or neck vein hanging 4
5. 2/8/2011 5 SuicideEpidemiology In about half of all suicides a previous attempt is found in the person's history, which offers, in theory, an opportunity for suicide intervention wherever suicide attempts occur. A precipitating factor may well be decisive in explaining the precise timing of suicide in the long course of a person's suicide process.
6. 2/8/2011 6 SuicideEpidemiology Imitation means learning the use of a specific suicide method from a model which is overtly available in a culture, community, institution, or mass media. The risk of imitation emerges if an emotionally loaded suicide model is presented in detail on television. Imitation may have a significant effect on the choice of a suicide method, especially at schools, in psychiatric hospital wards, and in the general population of young people.
7. 2/8/2011 7 SuicideEpidemiology Every year more than one million people commit suicide, accounting for 1 to 2 per cent of total global mortality. According to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, globally 1 per 6000 persons commits suicide every year. Everywhere, the male suicide rate is two to four times higher than the female rate; China is the only exception with a very high female suicide rate. The suicide rate of elderly people has been higher than in the younger age groups almost universally. during the past 20 to 30 years the suicide rate has been rising in many Western countries and Japan , especially among young males.
8. 2/8/2011 8 SuicideEpidemiology Sociodemographic variables that makes people at risk of suicide: Male, low socioeconomic status, unmarried, divorced, widowed, separated, living alone, unemployed, poor social support and low social integration. Adverse life events, spring and autumn season of the year.
9. 2/8/2011 9 SuicideEpidemiology Clinical determinants of suicide Include past history of suicidal attempts, presence of any mental disorder and family history of suicide and mental disorder, symptoms of helplessness, hopelessness and worthlessness, poor physical health including terminal illness and availability of suicidal method.
10. 2/8/2011 10 SuicideEpidemiology In the older age groups repeated attempts appeared to be predictive for suicide in women and severe attempts predictive in men. BMC Psychiatry 2009, 9:62 Repetition and severity of suicide attempts across the life cycle: a comparison by age group between suicide victims and controls with severe depression
11. 2/8/2011 11 SuicideEpidemiology There is a pronounced difference between genders after adulthood (age 15 and up). The mortality rate is higher in females. Most of the burns occurred in the home: a public health education campaign might help reduce the incidence of these injuries. Epidemiology of burns at the Italian Red Cross Hospital in Baghdad L. Carini a, F.R. Grippaudo b,*, A. Bartolini c Burns 31 (2005) 687–691
12. 2/8/2011 12 SuicideEpidemiology Age patterns of suicide by burning suggest that psychotic and/or substance-related disorders may be present in a substantial proportion of victims. General Hospital PsychiatryVolume 29, Issue 3, May-June 2007, Pages 244-250 findings did confirm that suicide exists as a serious problem in the society in Kurdistan, particularly among females.

13. 2/8/2011 13 Suicide psychoneurobiology of suicide Psychoanalysis believe it is an introjection of anger, familial occurrence of suicide indicates a genetic transmission and there low levels of 5HIAA which is a 5HT metabolite in the CSF of the patients.
14. 2/8/2011 14 Mental disorders and suicide Virtually all mental disorders carry an increased risk of suicide, except for mental retardation and dementia. In five studies conducted about suicide, depressive disorders and substance use disorders were frequent and comorbidity was common. Alcohol and drugs, often combined, are a major risk or a precipitating factor for suicide.
15. 2/8/2011 15 Attempted suicide and deliberate self-harm Is a condition in which the patient deliberately inflict harm upon him or herself without a fatal outcome. It is thought that the great majority of those patients do not actually try to kill themselves. Non-fatal suicidal behaviours can have very different motivations, varying from an intention to die to a cry for help
16. 2/8/2011 16 Attempted suicide and deliberate self-harm Attempted suicide is more common in young females. People attempting suicide without fatal outcome indicate that their future is hopeless, but they still seem to have a faint hope, however ambiguous this may be, that the future might improve.
17. 2/8/2011 17 Attempted suicide and deliberate self-harm Repetition is one of the core characteristics of suicidal behaviour. Among those who commit suicide up to 40 per cent attempted before. Among suicide attempters ‘repeaters' are probably commoner than ‘first-evers'. Between 30 and 60 per cent of suicide attempters made previous attempts, and between 15 and 25 per cent did so within the last year. Prospectively, suicide attempters have a high risk of committing suicide. Between 10 and 15 per cent eventually die because of suicide.
18. 2/8/2011 18 Attempted suicide and deliberate self-harm The same risk factors apply for attempted suicide mainly stressful life events such as broken homes and family violence, especially physical and mental maltreatment by partners.

BMJ VOLUME 326 10 MAY 2003 bmj.comChanges in suicide rates and exposure to antidepressants in Australia for 1991-2000 are significantly associated. This effect is most apparent in older age groups, in which rates of suicide decreased substantially in association with exposure to antidepressants.

Because of insufficient documentation and lack of systematic registration, the data on suicide were scattered and difficult to evaluate. However, the findings did confirm that suicide exists as a serious problem in the society in Kurdistan, particularly among females. Urgent attention is demanded from the responsible authorities and organizations concerned in the region.
21. 2/8/2011 21 Literature on suicide Suicide attempts by burning accounted for 231 (24.8%) of all burn patients admitted to hospital. Suicidal burns occurred predominantly in the age group 15 to 24 years (49.1%). Most (71.4%) self-burning cases were female. Self-inflicted burn injuries in southwest Iran.

22. 2/8/2011 22 Literature on suicide Suicide, by burning oneself, is very rare in the western world, but more frequent in the eastern world, especially in India, where it is also linked to religious traditions [3,4]. In 1982, the method most often used to commit suicide in Delhi was burn injury. Thirty-nine point eight percent of all suicides were achieved by self-immolation and 80% of these were committed by women, who were mostly married and aged between 15 and 24 [5]. G.
