The subjective assessment has been proven to be more effective in some cases than objective testing. Identifying key patterns- fear avoidance, catastrophization,and past experiences of pain dictate prognosis and pain. I have always been biomedical in my approach but have developed an interest into a psychology and mindset.

Pain Management in the Context of an Opioid Epidemic: Considerations and Tool...VITAS Healthcare
This presentation details how to conduct a comprehensive pain assessment, considerations when prescribing analgesics, and when opioids may be appropriate.
Pain management is a critical component to patient care. However, it is leading to opioid addiction at an alarming rate in the United States. For many patients, a paradigm shift is needed to go from pain management to pain recovery.
Recent studies demonstrate the effectiveness of understanding how and why pain is generated, and why it sometimes persists long after it protective effect has passed. We have combined an educational program with mindfulness exercises and skills training to help individuals develop their own recovery plan

Evidence–Based Health Evaluation and Application
Introduction
Public health improvement initiatives (PHII) provide invaluable data for patient–centered care, but their research is often conducted in a context
different from the needs of any individual patient. Providers must make a conscious effort to apply their findings to specific patients' care.
In this activity, you will learn about a PHII, and explore its application to a particular patient's care plan.

Good morning!
At last week's conference I spoke with Alicia Balewa, Director of Safe Headspace. They're a relatively new nonprofit working on improving outcomes
for TBI patients, and I immediately thought of Mr. Nowak. At his last biannual cholesterol screening he mentioned having trouble with his balance. This
may be related to his hypertension, but he believes it's related to the time he was hospitalized many years ago after falling out of a tree, and
expressed distress that this might be the beginning of a rapid decline.
Ms. Balewa will be on premises next week, and I'd like to set aside some time for you to talk.

My father came home from Vietnam with a kaleidoscope of mental health problems. That was the 1970s, when treatment options for things like PTSD,
TBI, and even depression were very different. Since then there has been a lot of investment in treatment and recovery for combat veterans. That's
excellent news for veterans in treatment now, but they're not looking at my dad, and how his TBI and PTSD have affected him through mid–life and
now as a senior. That's why I started Safe Headspace: to focus on older patients who are years or decades past their trauma, and find ways to help
them.
Which treatments showed the strongest improvement?
Exercise. We were able to persuade about half of our participants — that's around 400 people, mostly men ages 45–80 — to follow the CDC's
recommendations for moderate aerobic exercise. Almost everyone showed improvement in mood, memory, and muscle control after four weeks. After
that a lot of participants dropped out, which is disappointing. But of t ...

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.
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!

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.

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

within the different experience levels of the
Physiotherapy cohort;
What is the purpose of Physioline?
Physioline is a 20 min verbal consultation to gather a
detailed subjective assessment. After finishing this
assessment we should have:
• a provisional/ working diagnosis
• a plan for both the therapist(s) and the patient
• appropriate management options (F2F, Self Mx,
GP/A+E, Groups as per appropriate service)
22. Improve knowledge on how and when to
self manage or refer patients on where
appropriate
Self management is an important part of a physioline
clinic. current KPI 30-35% self management of
patients (service dependant). Relevant for your PRP!!
🙋🏼
This helps reduce workload in clinics
Reduction in inappropriate patients needing to be
booked into clinic which allows faster access and
more appointment availability for patients who need to
be seen in clinic sooner.
What typical examples have you that you would self
manage via physioline and clinical reason why these
would be appropriate?
23. Improve knowledge on how and when to self
manage or refer patients on where appropriate
24. Improve knowledge on how and when to self

helps the patient take control of their symptoms and
condition and can manage on a long term basis by
using a BPS approach to a problem. This relates back
to Darren’s point on expectations and goals and why
this is important
Self management from Physioline typically includes
more detail about their diagnosis and what this means
for them, advice on RICE, modifying activities,
probable healing times, reassurance, information
booklets and condition specific exercises.

Editor's Notes
Bear this picture in mind if a patient googles psychosocial – Song from slipknot.
Physioline is an opportunity to influence this perceived threat that the patient has experienced.
Assessment is treatment from the second we pick up the phone to the end of their episode of care.
Physioline is an opportunity to reduce some of this perceived threat from the patient.
Start back course last week- discussed about the skillset involved in integrating this into clinical practice can be difficult.
Using measures such as start back to identify the psychometric properties which may indicate you need to spend more time on the psychology and social side of the assessment.
The structure of your Pl consult- it can be changed. We do not need to focus on/adhere to the templates- We have all had conversations with people and within a few mins forgot what was talked about in the middle of the conversation. Patients remember what came last and at the beginning. How do we normally end the conversation? CES S&S and information.
Literature which suggest to let a patient talk for 2.5 minutes they disclose most the information relating to their injury.
David O’Sullivan material and psychology input- We are in the privileged position to listen to the patient and empathise with them. Follow this up with summation of the key info in similar wording- Consider the comprehension of the individual- average reading age of those in Sunderland is 11years old.
Physiotherapy is changing away from biomedical approach towards BPS model- so the delivery of physioline has to change as a result. thus integrate BPS into this shift.
How do you end a consultation? Start a consultation. Warning about CES_
Has anyone suggested to you what could be causing your back pain?
Has anyone else suggested otherwise?
Understanding of this/feeling of this/ sense to you?
Does that explain all your symptoms?
How do you feel you have been treated by medical/healthcare professionals so far.
Sleep- What's making sleep difficult?
Due to pain or switching off mentally
Do you stay in bed or get up?
Main complaint is sleep difficulties and the lack of improvement over the past month
She is thinking about giving up part time work and has stopped her child care role for her Grandson (2 days/wk.)
Previous Physio last year wasn’t particularly successful. She wants to have some answers why she has so much pain and feels at a loss to know how to help herself get better
Interaction with Millie Stevens- GB basketball – ‘Do you want to strap up my knee?’ response was no- Sat beside head coach, Chema Buceta, psychology professor in Madrid. Player was asking my confidence in her knee. ‘Do you’ vs ‘will you’
Think/feel/Do =cognitive behavioural model
- Pixar movie Inside out.
Some research going into childhood psychology and parental influence on development of chronic pain.
Dave O’Sullivan course- psychology info.
Individual responses to certain words –exercise.
21 year old with ankle sprain ATFL-gr1 –spent x3 weeks in bed post injury as that is what my dad (previous discectomies) did- 1/52 post ADP- so all excited about practice then realised psychology involvement.
Past experiences of others can influence symptoms- i.e.- I had Mrs X 45 year old female in with a shoulder problem like this last week, which is settling nicely with these exercises.
_ Going to book you in with Therapist X- who is a specialist in Shoulders.
Jain and Jain 2011- neurochemistry link pain and depression–serotonin (happiness) downregulation- by cortisol production- stress hormone & dopamine- social media hits- hormone pleasure. Robert Lustig- paediatric endocrinologist in USA.
Personal example.
Avoidance and distraction can happen in many ways- Freund reported the Irish are impervious to psychoanalysis-as they bury things so deep.
External Experiences- Situations, activities. Keeping busy, studying, running and constantly being around people… growing up in a pub, constantly around people.
Internal experiences- emotions and cognitions that this stirred up.
Runners- either running towards something or away from something. Chap in other day ran everyday for 12.5 years. ???
Verbal – high VAS- expressions of pain t/o consult, grunts, crying, moaning.
speech- volume- hesitancy, high pitched,
Non verbal- use of modalities, holding area- rubbing area- medication usage, devices, drastic changes to habitual patterns.
Speed of speaking, high toned, breathing rate and depth.
Magnification- I become afraid that the pain will get worse-
Increased bodyscanning.
Rumination- cows- stomach- going over and over it.
Helplessness- nothing I can do to reduce the pain.
Based Dave O’Sullivan's (Physio who works with England National Rugby League) work with Karl Morris- sports psychologist- in Rugby League.
Tapping into the emotions and past experiences that are deep rooted in the patients journey.
Seen initially- following flare up- she presented and reported she had driven 50-70miles to see her friend.
Asked about driving, type of car, person she was with and anything else she was doing that day.
She had learned how to drive 3-4 years previously.
Did she enjoy driving? No, was the answer- worried sick as her cousin killed someone in a car accident 8years ago.
On further questioning, she never had an injury before.
He is not sure when to return to work as he has a lot of driving
Main complaint is throbbing leg pain, particularly at night but managing during the day.
Walking- Aggravating factors- how far, type, duration, gradient, etc.
Use this as a goal for setting- once patient arrives in clinic can use this as a benchmark.
Expectations.
To be booked into clinic- NOT JUST FOR AN OBJECTIVE, with a plan and structure. Signpost the patient.
