With the rise of social media, persons with diabetes are increasingly engaging online. It's time for more diabetes educators to step up their social media skills and engagement — for job security. Don't be left behind! Join our panel of social media experts to learn the latest about social media platforms and best practices for engagement. Determine social media goals through a self-assessment process and hands-on help.
During the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, there were multiple lessons provided to the world. In this talk, I set the stage for the discussion, highlight the issues we faced (and still face), I speak to an effort that contributed to help address one of those issues, then speak to future challenges and our responsibilities going forward.

Project PARTNER (Partnering with Adolescents to Ready The Newest Engaged Rese...YTH
The intersection of community engagement, research, and interactive technology is an innovative way for youth to develop leadership and 21st century skills. The California Adolescent Health Collaborative and community health clinic partners, Livingston Community Health and Asian Health Services, developed Project PARTNER, where youth in rural and urban communities learn critical thinking, problem solving, and collaborative processes through researching community health issues. \n\nYouth and adult allies from the health clinics were recruited to be members of a cross-generational and cross-regional community advisory board and were trained in research methodology. The online educational technology platform Kahoot!, and the mobile app Kahoot!, were utilized in training members on research fundamentals. The advisory boards then developed community surveys through Google Forms and utilized its mobile app feature to canvas neighborhoods to obtain community data. With data collected, they will develop research questions and participate in collaborative cross-site activities to support their research.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

disorientation that we induce in individuals by
subjecting them to too much change in too
short a time”
-Alvin Toffler
5. “The Future has already arrived. It is
just not evenly distributed yet”
-William Gibson
7. The future of work is:
• Collaborative
• Flat
• Competitive
8. Today, teams use web-based collaboration tools to
work together, anytime, anywhere
• Collaboration tool: Google Doc (https://docs.google.com)
• File sharing: Drop Box (http://www.dropbox.com)
9.
10.

12. The world is flat
• “By 'flat' I did not mean that the world is getting equal. I said that
more people in more places can now compete, connect and
collaborate with equal power and equal tools than ever before. That's
why an Indian in Bangalore can take care of the office work of
American doctors or read the X-rays of German hospitals.”
- Thomas Friedman
15. In 2004, JetBlue started a revolution,
allowing 700 customer service reps to
work from home with no central office.

• Care delivery
• Communication and community building
• Remote diagnosis
21. SMS consultation
• Truth On Call - provide answers via
text messages
