3.Sexuality:
Sexuality the working definition of sexuality is:
“…a central aspect of being human throughout life encompasses sex, gender identities and roles, sexual orientation, eroticism, pleasure, intimacy and reproduction.
Sexuality is experienced and expressed in thoughts, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviours, practices, roles and relationships.
While sexuality can include all of these dimensions, not all of them are always experienced or expressed. Sexuality is influenced by the interaction of biological, psychological, social, economic, political, cultural, legal, historical, religious and spiritual factors.”

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

consequences that can affect our sexual
health.
3. DEFINITION
• Sexuality is the sum total of our sexual feelings
and behavior
• It is shaped from our values, attitudes, behaviors,
physical appearance, beliefs, emotions,
personality, likes and dislikes as well as the way
in which we have been socialized.
4. SEXUAL HEALTH
• Integration of the physical, emotional,

13. SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT…
• Sexual development starts even before birth and
continues through out the life span.
• A variety of influences have an impact on this
development:
Genetic Influences
Hormonal Influences
Psychological Influences
14. SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT…
• Before birth, the human sexual response
cycle begins.
• The male fetus achieves erections in
utero—and some males are even born
with erections.
• The female sexual response cycle is
functional before birth.
15. DEVELOPMENT…
CONTD..
• 6 months - 1 yr: genital self-exploration &
masturbation occur for both sexes.
• When babies can touch their bodies,
they begin to explore their genitals.
16. SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT…
• By 2 years of age –
• aware of their biological sex
• show an understanding of sexual
identity.
• At 3–5 years of age –
• understand how females and males
should act as well as gender roles
• ask questions like where babies come
from.
17. SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT…
• At 5–12 years:
• begin to show romantic interest.
• The first signs of sexual orientation
(preference toward males or females or
both) characterize this phase.
• At ages 8–13 years:
• the first physical signs of puberty
• Begin slightly earlier for girls than boys.
18. SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT…
• Girls: first menstruation
between ages 9 and 16yrs
•Boys:11- 18yrs - onset of sperm
production.
•pubertal milestones depend on the child’s
nutritional status and may be delayed if
nutritional
status is severely compromised
19. SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
AFTER PUBERTY
First sexual intercourse
•varies greatly by culture
•mid- to later adolescence is fairly common across
cultures.
First child birth
•Many factors determine when and whether a
person has a first child.
• First childbirth also varies by community and
individual
20. SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
Menopause
• Female - mid 30s-50s.
• Physiological changes are end of ovulation,
menstruation, and the capacity to reproduce.
• Male - climacteric occurs at 45 to 65 years of
age
• decrease in testosterone production.
21. PSYCHOSEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
THEORY - FREUD
5 stages of psychosexual development
Libido - Freud's word for psychic and
sexual energy.
But in each stage of development there
are frustrations and if not successfully
dealt with, then the libido will be tied to
that stage of development
22. FREUD’S 5 STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
•ORAL Stage (birth - 1 yr)
•The libido is focused on the mouth.
•Being fixated at this stage means an excessive
use of oral stimulation, such as cigarettes,
drinking or eating.
•ANAL Stage(2-3yrs)
•The libido is focused anally.
• Being fixated at this stage can result in –
stubborness, destructiveness, miserliness
messiness.
23. CONTD ….
PHALLIC Stage
• This period from 3- 6 years
• Focus of energy to genital area
Oedipus complex
• Male child have sexual desires for his mother
• Sees his father as a rival for her affections.
• The boy begins to fear that the father will punish him for
his desires- Castration anxiety
Electra Complex
Girl’s romantic feelings toward her father
anger towards her mother.
24. CONTD ….
LATENCY Stage (6-12 yrs)
• Period with no developmental events
• Preference for same sex relations
GENITAL Stage (Begins at puberty )
• Maturation of reproductive organs &
production of sex hormones
• Genitals - major source of sexual tension
• Feelings for the opposite sex are a source of
anxiety
• Preparation for selecting a mate
25. DISORDERS
Paraphilias and Sexual
disorders:
Exhibitionism-individual exposes his or her
genitals to a stranger
Fetishism-the individual uses a nonliving object
(e.g., woman’s high heeled shoe, stockings) in a
sexual manner
Frotteurism-the individual touches or rubs
against a non-consenting person in a sexual
manner
26. PSYCHOSEXUAL DISORDERS
• Pedophilia-either intense sexually arousing
fantasies, urges, or behaviors involving
sexual activity with a prepubescent child
(typically age 13 or younger).
• Transvestic Fetishism- sexual interest or
desire to dress in clothes of the opposite sex.
more common for men to have this disorder
than women
• Voyeurism-which the individual observes
stranger who is naked, or engaging in sexual
activity.
28. SEXUAL RESPONSE &
PRACTICES
Sexuality on a continuum, ranges from adaptive-
maladaptive.
•The most adaptive responses meet the following
criteria:
Between two consenting adults, mutually satisfying
to both, not psychologically or physically harmful to
either, lacking force or coercion, and conducted in
private.
•Maladaptive sexual responses: include behaviors
that do not meet one or more of the criteria for
adaptive responses.
30. MASTERS AND JOHNSON’ SEXUAL
RESPONSE CYCLE
•Phase I: Desire
•Phase II :Excitement
•Phase III :Plateau
•Phase IV :Orgasm
•Phase V :Resolution
31. SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE
CONTD…
Phase I Desire
sexual fantasies and the desire to have
sexual activity.
can not be identified solely through
physiology, reflects persons motivations,
drives and personality.
32. SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE
CONTD…
Phase II Excitement
Physiological or psychological stimulation or
both
subjective sense of pleasure.
Characterized by various physiological
changes like:
Penile Erection and Vaginal lubrication
Erection of nipples in both the sexes.
Heightened excitement lasts 30 seconds to
several minutes.
33. SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE
CONTD…
Phase III Platueau
•preparation stage for the orgasm/climax
•Continual increase in BP, HR, RR and
muscle tension
•Increase in size of penis and testes
•Release of pre-ejaculatory fluids: these
fluids are responsible for optimum pH for
sperm survival.
34. SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE
CONTD…
Phase IV Orgasm
•Peaking of sexual pleasure with release of sexual
tension
•Rhythmic contraction of perineal muscle and
reproductive organs
characterized by:
•4 – 5 rhythmic spasm of prostrate, seminal
vesicle, vas and urethra in males.
• In women characterized by 3 to 15 involuntary
contraction of lower third of vagina and by
strong sustained contraction of uterus.
• Orgasm last for 3 to 25 sec.
35. SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE CONTD…
Phase V Resolution:
• Disgorgement of blood from the genitalia which
brings body back to its resting state.
• Refractory period : recovery phase after
orgasm in which it is impossible for an
individual to have additional orgasms.
• Refractory period in men last several minutes to
several hours and does not exist in women.

Benzaken T, Palep AH, Gill PS.
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study was to determine students' exposure
to sex education and identify students' perceptions of
accessibility to sexual health advice and their preferences
in implementing sex education.
METHODS:
A cross-sectional study was carried out in junior colleges in
Mumbai in 2010. The self-administered questionnaire
investigated male and female students' (aged 15-17)
exposure and opinions towards sex education. Data was
entered into and analysed using SPSS version 17.0.

The questionnaire was completed by 427
students. Almost 90% of students believed it
important to have sex education as part of school
curriculum; over 60% reported prior exposure to
sex education in school. However, only 45% were
satisfied they had good access to advice about
contraception and sexual health, particularly,
females reported more limited access.

The majority responding indicated a desire for
more widespread implementation of school-based
sex education, particularly amongst female
respondents.
