Implementation of the Defined Approaches on Skin Sensitisation (OECD GL 497) ...OECD Environment
Humans and the environment are exposed every day to chemicals. How do we make sure that these chemicals are safe?
Industry is required to test these chemicals to understand how they may affect people and the environment. In the past, these tests were most commonly carried out on animals. As scientific methods and tools progress, the use of animals to test a product designed for humans are becoming obsolete, in addition to being unethical. With new methods being developed, it is possible to perform these tests on human and animal cell cultures with equally rigorous and robust results. Because the OECD is committed to chemical safety and animal welfare, a new ground-breaking Guideline on Defined Approaches for Skin Sensitisation (OECD GL 497: https://doi.org/10.1787/b92879a4-en) was released on 14 June 2021. It is the first ever Guideline that uses non-animal methods to predict whether a chemical can cause skin allergies. The OECD organised a webinar on 18 October 2021 at 14:00 to discuss the implementation of the Defined Approaches on Skin Sensitisation for chemical safety in member countries. This webinar paved the way for companies and authorities to determine the environmental toxicity of chemicals without having to resort to animal testing.

With the dramatic increase of nano-enabled products entering the market every year, human and environmental exposures are inevitable, which raises concerns in terms of the health and safety of such emerging nanomaterials. Scientific knowledge to assess the exposure to nanomaterials continues to improve. As an example, new exposure tools and models for nanomaterials are being developed.
To further promote the development in this area, the OECD compiled an inventory of available models and tools for assessing occupational, consumer and environmental exposure to Nanomaterials. 54 tools and models were initially compiled and following in-depth analyses, 10 occupational, 7 consumer and 6 environmental tools/models were recommended or evaluated as suitable for assessing exposure to nanomaterials. The detailed information on the analyses and evaluations are provided in the reports accessible from the Series on Nanomaterials website (No. 98, 99, 100 and 101).

On 16 March 2021, the OECD co-organised a webinar with the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission to discuss the recently published report on Addressing evidence needs in chemicals policy and regulation by the JRC.
There are deep divisions between key stakeholders in chemical regulation regarding the best methods for obtaining data and evidence for informing policy in general and decisions on particular substances. This report summarises the key insights of a study on stakeholder perceptions of the main challenges facing chemicals regulation, and of alternative approaches to conducting toxicological studies. The report offers a proposal for overcoming mistrust between stakeholders, building on the AOP Framework to more fully support ‘transparency plus’, which supplements access to data and evidence with shared understanding.
The webinar was an opportunity to hear the main findings of the report and a set of actionable recommendations, including how knowledge management systems can be designed in a user-centric fashion to address current challenges, with the Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) framework being a prominent example.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
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

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.

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).
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

MRSA typing plans: Current status
Strategy (2014):
• Refinement of specific objectives and public health benefits
of molecular typing data integration
• Proposed typing method(s) and outline of surveillance
design/sampling frame, analysis and reporting strategy
suitable to the public health objectives
Business case (2015):
• Joint work between ECDC and network experts
• Planned to be presented for review and inputs by the
National Surveillance Focal Points and National Microbiology
Focal Points by end 2015

Objectives for MRSA typing
Objective EU level risk assessment Potential risk management
implication(s)
To inform about the
occurrence and dynamics of
“high-risk” MRSA clones of
critical public health
importance in Europe.
Detection and genotypic
identification of high-risk clones
Monitoring pluri-annual trends in
the frequency of occurrence of
particular genotypes in the
population and identification of
high-prevalence human
population groups
Identification of high-prevalence
geographical areas associated
with spreading of specific high-
risk clones
Detection/delineation of cross-
region or cross-border
dissemination of high-risk clones
between repeat surveys
Initiation, implementation,
evaluation and/or revision of
local, regional and national
infection control and prevention
programme.
Contribution to the impact
evaluation of hospital and
community antibiotic policies and
stewardship programmes
8. 7
Proposed structure of the repeated surveys
The study design follow the basic structure of previous surveys
• The proposed frequency of the structured surveys is every
third year
• Isolates from in/out patients from any clinical isolate
• 10 isolates of MRSA from consecutive patients per
participating hospital/laboratory and pre-defined sampling
period (six months)
• Genotypic characterisation: Whole genome sequence
9. 8
The molecular typing business case
• Performance indicators
• Verification of the molecular typing method(s) applied,
including current capacities in the Member States
• Resources including the need for TESSy update
• External quality assessments, training and other technical
support
• Collaborative agreement to ensure protection of data
privacy, intellectual ownership and data access rules in
accordance with ethical and legal requirements
10. 9
Next steps
• Development of the MRSA/CPE molecular typing business
cases part of the 2015 ECDC work plan
• Continued collaboration with network experts in the
development of the business case needed. Concrete steps
yet to be defined.
• Target: Business case finalized in 2015
• Implementation and setting up infrastructure
• First survey in the new system planned for 2016/2017
