The document summarizes the key functions of the skin, which include protection from bacteria, mechanical impacts, ultraviolet rays, and toxins. It also discusses the skin's roles in temperature regulation, sensation, storage, synthesis of vitamin D, water balance, and waste excretion. The skin regulates body temperature through mechanisms controlled by the hypothalamus, such as sweating and vasodilation to promote heat loss when temperatures rise, and shivering and vasoconstriction to increase heat production and prevent heat loss when temperatures fall.

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
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.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

2. Functions of SkinFunctions of Skin
• 1. Protection from Bacteria and Toxic Substances
• Skin covers the organs of the body and protects the organs
from having direct contact with external environment
• Skin prevents the bacterial infection - Lysozyme secreted in
skin destroys the bacteria.
• Keratinized stratum corneum of epidermis is responsible for
the protective function of skin - also offers resistance against
toxic chemicals like acids and alkalis.
• If the skin is injured - infection occurs due to invasion of
bacteria from external environment.
3. Functions of SkinFunctions of Skin
• 2. Protection from Mechanical Blow
• Skin is not tightly placed over the underlying organs or
tissues.
• It is somewhat loose and moves over the underlying
subcutaneous tissues - mechanical impact of any blow to the
skin is not transmitted to the underlying tissues.
• 3. Protection from Ultraviolet Rays
• Exposure to sunlight or to any other source of ultraviolet rays
increases the production of melanin pigment in skin.
• Melanin absorbs ultraviolet rays.
• At the same time, the thickness of stratum corneum
increases. This layer also absorbs the ultraviolet rays.
4. Functions of SkinFunctions of Skin
• 4. Sensory Function
• Skin is considered as the largest sense organ in the body. It
has many nerve endings, which form the specialized
cutaneous receptors
• These receptors are stimulated by sensations of touch, pain,
pressure or temperature sensation and convey these
sensations to the brain via afferent nerves
• 5. Storage Function
• Skin stores fat, water, chloride and sugar.
• It can also store blood by the dilatation of the cutaneous
blood vessels.
5. Functions of SkinFunctions of Skin
• 6. Synthetic Function
• Vitamin D3 is synthesized in skin by the action of ultraviolet
rays from sunlight on cholesterol.
• „7. Regulation Of Body Temperature
• Excess heat is lost from the body through skin by radiation,
conduction, convection and evaporation.
• Sweat glands of the skin play an active part in heat loss, by
secreting sweat.
• 8. Regulation Of Water And Electrolyte Balance
• Skin regulates water balance and electrolyte balance by
excreting water and salts through sweat.
6. Functions of SkinFunctions of Skin
• 9. Excretory Function
• Skin excretes small quantities of waste materials like urea, salts
and fatty substance.
• „ 10. Absorptive Function
• Skin absorbs fat-soluble substances and some ointments.
• „ 11. Secretory Function
• Skin secretes sweat through sweat glands and sebum through
sebaceous glands.
• By secreting sweat, skin regulates body temperature and water
balance.
• Sebum keeps the skin smooth and moist.

8. REGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATUREREGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATURE
• Body temperature is regulated by hypothalamus, which
sets the normal range of body temperature.
• The set point under normal physiological conditions is
37°C.
• Hypothalamus has two centers which regulate the body
temperature:
• 1. Heat loss center
• 2. Heat gain center.
9. REGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATUREREGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATURE
• HEAT LOSS CENTER
• Heat loss center is situated in preoptic nucleus of
anterior hypothalamus.
• Neurons in preoptic nucleus are heat sensitive nerve
cells, which are called thermoreceptors.
• Stimulation of preoptic nucleus results in cutaneous
vasodilatation and sweating.
• Removal or lesion of this nucleus increases the body
temperature.
10. REGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATUREREGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATURE
• HEAT GAIN CENTER
• Heat gain is otherwise known as heat production
center.
• It is situated in posterior hypothalamic nucleus.
• Stimulation of posterior hypothalamic nucleus
causes shivering.
• The removal or lesion of this nucleus leads to fall in
body temperature.
11. MECHANISMMECHANISM
• When Body Temperature Increases
• When body temperature increases, blood temperature also
increases.
• When blood with increased temperature passes through
hypothalamus, it stimulates the thermoreceptors present in the
heat loss center in preoptic nucleus.
• Now, the heat loss center brings the temperature back to
normal by two mechanisms:
• 1. Promotion of heat loss
• 2. Prevention of heat production
12. When Body Temperature IncreasesWhen Body Temperature Increases
• 1. Promotion of heat loss
• When body temperature increases, heat loss center promotes
heat loss from the body by two ways:
• i. By increasing the secretion of sweat: When sweat secretion
increases, more water is lost from skin along with heat
• ii. By inhibiting sympathetic centers in posterior
hypothalamus: This causes cutaneous vasodilatation.
• the blood flow through skin increases - excess sweating -
increases the heat loss through sweat - decrease in body
temperature.
13. When Body Temperature IncreasesWhen Body Temperature Increases
• 2. Prevention of heat production
• Heat loss center prevents heat production
in the body by inhibiting mechanisms
involved in heat production,
• such as shivering and chemical
(metabolic) reactions.
14.
15. When Body Temperature DecreasesWhen Body Temperature Decreases
• 1. Prevention of heat loss
• When body temperature decreases,
centers in posterior hypothalamus cause
cutaneous vasoconstriction.
• This leads to decrease in blood flow to
skin and so the heat loss is prevented.
16. When Body Temperature DecreasesWhen Body Temperature Decreases
• 1. Promotion of heat production
• i. Shivering:
• When body temperature is low, the heat gain
center stimulates the primary motor center for
shivering, situated in posterior hypothalamus –
shivering
• During shivering, enormous heat is produced
because of severe muscular activities.
17. When Body Temperature DecreasesWhen Body Temperature Decreases
• 1. Promotion of heat production
• ii. Increased metabolic reactions:
• Sympathetic centers, which are activated by heat gain center,
stimulate secretion of adrenaline and noradrenaline - increases
the heat production by accelerating cellular metabolic activities.
• Simultaneously, hypothalamus secretes TRH - release of TSH
from pituitary - increases release of thyroxine from thyroid.
• Thyroxine accelerates the metabolic activities in the body and this
increases heat production.
