Mental Health and Work: Australia
This document summarizes trends in mental health and employment in Australia. It finds that the employment and unemployment gaps between those with and without mental health issues are among the widest in Australia. Those with mental health issues are also more likely to receive disability and income replacement benefits. Both disability rates and the proportion of disabilities due to mental health have increased in recent decades. The document recommends a shift in policies and services to earlier intervention, involvement of multiple actors beyond just mental health services, and more integrated support that addresses both mental health and employment needs. It identifies challenges in mental health services, support for youth, workplace accommodations, and employment services and calls for improvements in each area.

This document summarizes and discusses the short story "The Psychologist and the Magician" by Ernest Christopher Rodwick. It tells the story of a psychologist named Professor Herman von Scholtz who agrees to undergo an "ordeal" with a magician named Marbado in a Himalayan cave. The psychologist must walk through the cave regardless of what he sees, hears, feels or thinks. The story is an allegory about how the mind can be "hypnotized" by illusions and beliefs that have no real power or existence. It illustrates how we identify with mental projections and concepts of self that cause suffering but don't truly exist. By refusing to accept the illusions, the psychologist is able to walk through

ABBOTT AND COSTELLO ON MINDFULNESS
The document is a humorous fictional dialogue between Bud Abbott and Lou Costello discussing Abbott's mindfulness class. Abbott claims the class taught him to have "no-mind" which he says is a state of wisdom and enlightenment. However, Costello is confused by the concept of having no mind but not being stupid. Their discussion becomes increasingly nonsensical as they try to explain how a mind can be both empty and full, gone but present, engaged but not engaged to anyone.
SOME GREEK PHILOSOPHERS AND MINDFULNESS
This document discusses some early Greek philosophers and their ideas that are relevant to mindfulness practice. It examines Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, noting ideas like rejecting supernatural explanations and focusing on observable phenomena. Key lessons for mindfulness are observing the present moment without judgment, seeing contradictions as part of a unified process, and maintaining attention on the breath to allow experiences to naturally arise and pass without fixation. The document suggests these ancient Greek philosophers provide philosophical underpinnings for modern secular mindfulness practice.
BIBLE VERSES FOR SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT AND HEALING
This document provides Bible verses and explanations to support the use of spiritual mind treatment and healing. It discusses:
- The power of thought and the mind's ability to create one's reality. Thoughts become things and positive thinking can lead to positive outcomes.
- Many Bible verses are presented that discuss seeking God/the kingdom within, the power of words and decrees, and healing coming from sending forth one's word.
- Spiritual mind treatment works by lifting one's consciousness through affirmative prayer and emotion-charged thinking to manifest desired outcomes. One's mind has the creative power of God and can shape one's experiences.
MEDITATION---LIFE IS OMNIPRESENT
The document discusses the omnipresence of life and how we are all part of that one life force. It encourages the reader to enter into silence and stillness to experience life as a sacred presence that is closer than our own breathing. It asserts that there is only one eternal life flowing through all of creation, including ourselves, and that we can never be separate from this life force.
PHINEAS P. QUIMBY: THE MODERN WORLD’S FIRST TRUE PSYCHOANALYST
Phineas P. Quimby was a 19th century American clockmaker and healer who is considered a pioneer in the fields of alternative healing, mental therapeutics, and psychosomatic medicine. He developed a method of insight-oriented psychotherapy combined with autosuggestion that treated illnesses by addressing the mind-body connection. Quimby's system paved the way for modern psychoanalysis and the understanding that functional illnesses can be caused or influenced by the mind. After recovering from tuberculosis through alternative methods like carriage rides, Quimby began practicing mesmerism and traveling around New England, treating patients and inspiring the development of the New Thought movement.

SHINTO---OR LIVING MINDFULLY WITH THE KAMI
Shinto is the indigenous spirituality of Japan that focuses on ritual observance and living in harmony with nature. Some key aspects of Shinto discussed in the document include:
1. Shinto emphasizes ritual and observance of traditions over beliefs, with the goal of connecting to and transforming oneself through religious practices.
2. Shinto acknowledges multiple spiritual beings called kami that can represent divine or sacred aspects of nature. While some kami are depicted in mythology, they are not necessarily believed to literally exist.
3. In Shinto, purity, gratitude, and respect for nature are important virtues. Rituals are meant to help people commune with the natural world and cultivate their inherent sacred qualities.
WALKING IN THE ETERNAL NOW
This document discusses the concept of living in the eternal now. It provides perspectives from various spiritual teachers and philosophers that discuss how the past and future do not truly exist, and that we only experience the present moment. It emphasizes that true meaning and purpose can only be found by fully engaging in each new present moment as it arises, rather than dwelling in past or future. Living mindfully in the eternal now provides refreshment, peace, and the opportunity for inner transformation from one moment to the next.
THE ART OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
The document provides advice and tips for effective public speaking. It discusses that public speaking is both an art and acquired skill, and one of people's greatest fears. It emphasizes that speakers must analyze their audience, understand human psychology, and tailor their speech based on the audience. The document also notes that attention spans are short, around 10 minutes maximum, so speakers must vary their delivery to keep audiences engaged. Overall, the key points are that public speaking is an important skill, requires understanding audiences and human psychology, and demands varying delivery to match short attention spans.

DID JESUS ACTUALLY EXIST? A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EXTRA-BIBLICAL EVIDENCE ...
The document analyzes the extra-biblical evidence for Jesus from historians and texts from the supposed time of Jesus' existence. It finds that none of these sources provide clear evidence that Jesus actually lived as a historical figure, with most references being later interpolations or merely repeating beliefs without firsthand evidence. The earliest unambiguous references to Jesus come in the 2nd century CE, long after his supposed life. The document concludes that while some sources reference beliefs in Jesus as a god or prophet, there is no demonstrable authentic evidence from within the first 100 years of the supposed existence of an actual historical Jesus.

2nd-generation Antihistaminic Part I.pptx
CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

Breast cancer :hormonal discordance.pptx
Receptor Discordance in Breast Carcinoma During the Course of Life
Definition:
Receptor discordance refers to changes in the status of hormone receptors (estrogen receptor ERα, progesterone receptor PgR, and HER2) in breast cancer tumors over time or between primary and metastatic sites.
Causes:
Tumor Evolution:
Genetic and epigenetic changes during tumor progression can lead to alterations in receptor status.
Treatment Effects:
Therapies, especially endocrine and targeted therapies, can selectively pressure tumor cells, causing shifts in receptor expression.
Heterogeneity:
Inherent heterogeneity within the tumor can result in subpopulations of cells with different receptor statuses.
Impact on Treatment:
Therapeutic Resistance:
Loss of ERα or PgR can lead to resistance to endocrine therapies.
HER2 discordance affects the efficacy of HER2-targeted treatments.
Treatment Adjustment:
Regular reassessment of receptor status may be necessary to adjust treatment strategies appropriately.
Clinical Implications:
Prognosis:
Receptor discordance is often associated with a poorer prognosis.
Biopsies:
Obtaining biopsies from metastatic sites is crucial for accurate receptor status assessment and effective treatment planning.
Monitoring:
Continuous monitoring of receptor status throughout the disease course can guide personalized therapy adjustments.
Understanding and managing receptor discordance is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and improving the prognosis for breast cancer patients.

Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Storyboard on Skin- Innovative Learning (M-pharm) 2nd sem. (Cosmetics)
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.
