Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior

Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age

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.

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.

canal
that
can
be
cancerous

6. What
types
of
brain
tumors
exist?
• AcousOc
Neuroma:
A
benign,
slow-‐growing
tumor
type,
acous;c
neuromas
affect
the
seventh
and
eighth
cranial
nerves
in
a
part
of
the
brain
known
as
the
cerebellar-‐pon;ne
angle.
• Brain
Metastases:
A
brain
metastasis
is
a
brain
tumor
that
develops
from
cancer
cells
that
spread
from
another
cancerous
tumor
in
the
body,
usually
through
the
bloodstream.
• Glioma:
A
glioma
is
a
class
of
tumor
that
develops
from
glial
cells
in
the
brain
that
support
and
protect
neurons.
Astrocytes,
ependymal,
and
oligodendroglial
cells
are
all
examples
of
glial
cells.
Includes:
Astrocytoma,
Glioblastoma
Mul;forme,
Glioma,
Oligodendroglioma.
• Meningioma:
A
benign
tumor
located
on
the
brain
surface
rather
than
within
brain
;ssue.
• Pituitary
Adenoma:
Located
at
the
base
of
the
skull,
the
pituitary
gland
serves
as
the
body’s
control
center
for
hormones.
Pituitary
adenomas
are
slow-‐growing,
benign
tumors
within
the
gland.

8. How
does
CyberKnife
treat
brain
tumors?
CyberKnife
has
the
ability
to
treat
acous;c
neuromas,
brain
metastases,
gliomas,
meningiomas
and
pituitary
adenomas
with
stereotac;c
radiosurgery.
The
treatment
process
includes:
I. Consulta;on
appointment
II. Pretreatment
procedures
III. CyberKnife
treatment
IV. Follow-‐up
Unlike
some
radiosurgery
systems,
the
CyberKnife
doesn’t
need
an
invasive
head
frame.
Other
radiosurgery
systems
are
capable
of
high-‐dose
radia;on
treatment
with
a
variety
of
radia;on
sources.
However,
some
use
a
metal
frame
aTached
to
the
pa;ent’s
skull
with
screws
that
immobilize
the
head
to
accurately
target
the
tumor.

9. ConsultaOon
and
Pretreatment
Procedures
The
Reno
CyberKnife
physicians,
therapists
and
nurses
are
focused
on
your
individualized
treatment
plan
to
determine
whether
CyberKnife
is
right
for
you:
• You
will
meet
with
a
Reno
CyberKnife
radia;on
oncologist
to
decide
if
CyberKnife
treatment
is
appropriate
for
your
diagnosis.
• Your
CyberKnife
team
will
decide
which
pretreatment
procedures
you
may
need
to
help
develop
your
treatment
plan.
These
could
include
a
CT
scan,
an
MRI,
laboratory
studies,
or
;ssue
markers.
• The
data
from
your
pretreatment
procedures
will
be
used
by
the
CyberKnife
team
to
determine
the
exact
size,
shape
and
loca;on
of
your
tumor.
• This

of
the

should
be
minimized.

Treatment
Typically,

up
to
five
sessions
depending
on
the
