Founded in the Midwest in 1953, the EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATION is now an international organization with nearly 1000 chapters across the USA and around the world. Membership in EAA is open to anyone interested in sport aviation: professional pilots, weekend pilots, and non-pilot aviation enthusiasts. Members who own or rent aircraft use them for transportation, but their primary interest is in flying just for the pure pleasure of it - the true definition of "Sport Aviation."
EAA encourages hands-on construction, repair, and rebuilding of aircraft both at home or as a group activity at chapter facilities. Chapter 533 is no exception. Click this link to see some of our MEMBERS ON-GOING PROJECTS, or visit us on one of our meeting nights or other activities.

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.

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
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!

The use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as the initial mode of respiratory support in critically
ill very low birth weight infants is associated with a lower incidence of chronic lung disease. Evidence also supports
the role of nasal CPAP in facilitating weaning from mechanical ventilation and reducing lung injury. However, nasal
CPAP success rates are widely variable and may be attributable to how well it is utilized. With recent renewed
interest in bubble nasal CPAP, it is essential to evaluate strategies for success that may depend on the using
correct CPAP devices, attention to detail and caregiver experience. This unique program will share successful
bubble nasal CPAP experience at the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York, Columbia University Medical
Center and discuss rationale, practical aspects and strategies for replicating success with bubble CPAP use.
These management protocols have been practiced successfully for forty years and have been shown to reduce
chronic lung disease without increasing morbidity and mortality.
This two-day course will cover virtually all aspects of neonatal respiratory care, including kinder, gentler mechanical
ventilation, patient-triggered ventilation, high frequency ventilation, NAVA, non-invasive modes of respiratory
support, surfactant therapy, inhaled nitric oxide therapy, and the use of laryngeal mask airway. Participants will
become familiar with the application and pitfalls of bubble nasal prong CPAP therapy and ventilatory strategies in
infants with respiratory distress. We will also address the airway care from nursing perspective, clinical care of
patients with RDS, PPHN, pulmonary hypertension in infants with BPD, and surgical diagnoses (CDH, TEF, CCAM,
NEC, ECMO, etc.) and the complications associated with mechanical ventilation and their management. Innovations
in non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring during neonatal care and Pearls in Neonatology will also be discussed.
The conference will include didactic presentations as well as hands-on workshops, NICU tours, videos, and Q & A
sessions. An extensive syllabus will be provided in electronic format. At the conclusion of this conference,
participants will be able to recognize the rationale for using bubble nasal CPAP, familiarize with practical aspects of
effective bubble CPAP use, and identify strategies for replicating and evaluating success with bubble nasal CPAP
and other respiratory care practices at their own institutions.
This conference is intended for the entire neonatal critical care team: physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners,
respiratory therapists, physician assistants, and other allied health professionals practicing in the neonatal intensive

nurse-respiratory therapist teams is strongly recommended and encouraged. As hands-on sessions are a
significant part of this program the number of participants is limited and therefore, early registration is strongly
advised.
