Social media has both positive and negative effects on society. Positively, it can increase political participation and community involvement. However, it also erodes privacy, as personal information is often shared without considering who might access it. Additionally, social media may be negatively impacting personal relationships by replacing face-to-face communication. Some analysts are concerned social media could make deception and fraud easier. It has also led to issues like cyberbullying and decreased self-esteem in some adolescents. Overall, the article discusses many of the complex ways social media influences modern society.

Effects of Social Media on Young AdultsRatan Rajpal
Social media has taken the world by storm through dozens of websites, mobile apps, and other forms of technologies improving the way people communicate with each other. There are social media sites that have millions of members allowing them to share photos, videos, text messages, and more on a regular basis. There are a large number of advantages and disadvantages to using such sites that leave researchers wondering if we are better off without it. Has social media improved or damaged the way people connect with each other?

The author of this article is on the bad sides of social media. Parents, politicians and the society at large have neglected their role and left it to the children to lead and guide themselves. Too much violence, sex and vulgar language is cropping to the current generation an alarming rate. This effect has been contributed by the use of movies, television shows and recordings beyond child's age. Though the government appears ready to intervene but it cannot do all the job without the help of parents. Parents should therefore be cautious on what their children watch on social media.

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

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

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.

Effect of Social Media on Society
The article Social Media Explosion by Marcia Clemmitt talked about how social media
affects society and the positives and negatives that come from it. The article gives the
background, current situation, and the outlook on social media. It also contains many graphs
showing statistics on social media. The key issues it talked about with social media were: does
social media make personal relationships more difficult and is social media eroding privacy.
The first issue the article talked about was how social media is eroding privacy. It starts off
with a story about how Mark Zuckerberg’s sister posted a picture for her Facebook friends to see
and she later saw it on her twitter feed posted by someone she didn’t know. The article states that
Mark Zuckerberg said that because of social networking, privacy is no longer a social norm. It
then goes on to say that some analysts argue that privacy is crucial. There is a quote from Alice
Marwick, assistant professor in communication and media studies at Fordham University, stating
that she thinks the two biggest problems in the United States are that we don’t have data
protection requirements and that market impulse goes in the opposite direction from privacy
protection to social media companies that sell users’ information for targeted marketing efforts
and the like.
The next big issue the article talks about is how social media is affecting human relationships.
It says that some analysts fear that social media is being seen as a replacement to face to face
conversations. In a survey on favorite communication modes people born in the 90’s preferred
texting over any other forms of communication with Facebook, phone calls and instant
2. messaging tied for 2nd and face to face in last. This is completely different from the preferences
of the people born from between 1946 and 1989. These people chose face to face as their most
preferred method of communicating and didn’t even list a social media. The article states that
some worry that more people preferring to communicate over social media than face to face may
make it easier to cause identity fraud and hoaxes. In 2013 it was found that Notre Dame
linebacker Manti Te’o had a two year online relationship with a woman who he thought was real
and said had died of cancer. He says he did not know it was a hoax. Notre Dame athletic director
said the situation constitutes “a terrible statement about where we are today and how social
media is a tool in some really bad stuff.” Other people see no reason to worry. Kaveri
Subrahmanyam, a professor of psychology at California State University Los Angeles, says that
most people use social media to connect to people already in their lives and do things they
already do anyway.
The article also talks about the positives of social media. One thing it talks about is that
research shows that social media is leading to increased political activity. In a survey 41 percent
of young people reported in engaging in “participatory politics” a term meaning individual
efforts to influence public policy outside the sphere of institutions such as political parties. Ways
they do this include tweeting support for a cause or forwarding a news article. An example of
this happened in 2012 when the Susan G. Komen foundation announced it would no longer fund
programs offered by Planned Parenthood. This announcement caused a lot of angry comments on
social media from many different people and organizations and three days later the foundation
reverted back to funding Planned Parenthood. However, despite this some people are saying that
social media is probably not causing more people to become involved in politics because the
people who engage in participatory politics were probably already following it. Another benefit
3. of social media that the article talks about is that it may foster more community involvement.
During the London riots in 2011 about economic unrest and a police shooting, a twitter campaign
under the hashtag #riotcleanup “rallied people to clean up the streets,” wrote Kate Crawford, a
principal researcher at the corporate think tank Microsoft Research. Social media makes
supporting and organizing causes easier than ever. For example Daniel Kreiss, an assistant
professor of journalism and mass communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, said, “Thanks to social media, I can give a small donation much easier – instantaneously in
fact”. President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaign operation used Facebook to encourage
supporters to contact Facebook friends who were determined to be promising target to vote for
Obama, Kreiss says. However, some people argue that the role of social media isn’t that
important when it comes to organizing protests. Commentators have claimed that Iranians used
Twitter to organize protests after the June 2009 election. But, according to Golnaz Esfandiari,an
Iranian-born blogger and a senior correspondent for the U.S. funded agency Radio Free Europe,
Twitter was only used minimally and did not play a major role in organizing protests. Most of
the Twitter feeds quoted as evidence of Twitter’s role were in English. Efsndiari said, “no one
seemed to wonder why people trying to coordinate protests in Iran would be writing in a
language other Farsi.” She also said that Twitter may have actually had a negative effect on the
protest because it made it easier to spread unsubstantiated rumors.
There are many other ways that social media has a negative influence on society. Some of the
ways are online deception, cyber-bullying, and it can cause self-esteem issues. Anybody can use
social media so there are a lot of bad people on there. Social media is not safe for everybody of
all ages to use.
4. Online deception is a major problem with social media. Due to the ease of creating an
account on a social media website this makes it very easy to deceive people. There have been
many cases in the past where people have used social media to deceive others. Between 2005
and 2013 there has been a 64 percent increase in social media users (Tsikerdekis, Michail) and
with this comes more people trying to deceive other people. Software design on the social media
websites can cause users to feel safer and more secure when this isn’t always the case. For
example, some people may assume that profile information is hard to fake due to verification
methods such as email conformation, but it is not (Tsikerdekis, Michail). However, there are
assurance mechanisms in place that either decrease the probability of somebody deceiving or
increase the penalty if they get caught. High penalties increase the difficulty for deceivers
(Tsikerdekis, Michail). Another factor that may determine the difficulty in deceiving is the
targets is the targets ability to detect deception. In social media a targets ability to detect
deception may depend on his or her Information Communication Technology (ICT) Literacy
(Tiskeradis, Michail). Individuals with a high ICT literacy can have a significant advantage over
normal internet users (Tiskeradis, Michail). Some of the ways reported to be used in deception
are bluffs, mimicry, fakery, white lies, evasions, exagerrations, and more (Tiskeradis, Michail).
Another way social media has a negative effect on society is cyber-bullying. Studies have
shown that the victim in cyber-bullying often doesn’t know who the person bullying them is
(Slonje, Robert). However, when the victim does know the bully it is usually someone from their
school or local area (Slonje, Robert). Cyber-bullying differs from traditional bullying in many
different ways. P.K. Smith described seven features of cyber-bullying: it depends on some
degree of technological expertise; it is primarily indirect rather than face to face; the bully
usually does not see the victim’s reaction; the variety of bystander roles in cyber-bullying is
5. more complex than in traditional bullying; the bully often lacks the motive to gain status by
showing power over others; the audience size is often increased; it is difficult to escape from
cyber-bullying (Slonje, Robert). All forms of bullying negatively impact the victims, however
the relative impact of traditional and cyber bullying may be affected by the differences between
them (Slonje, Robert). An example would be if the bully does not see the victim then he or she
may have less awareness of the consequences their actions are causing. Cyberbullying can cause
a lasting impact on the victims. One victim that was interviewed stated that even one and a half
years later if they saw their perpetrator out in public they would avoid them.
The next issue that social media can cause is that it can cause self-esteem issues. Social
acceptance and approval by peers and close friends are crucial to the development of
adolescents’ self-concept and self-esteem (Koutamanis, Maria). During early and middle
adolescence kids can be extremely preoccupied with how their peers perceive them (Koutamanis,
Maria). A big part of adolescent’s communication with friends and peers takes place over social
media. Although in social media positive reactions from peers are far more common than
negative, research has shown that about seven percent of adolescents mainly receive negative
feedback on their profiles and that their self-esteem suffers from this (Koutamanis, Maria). There
are several explanations why online feedback may be worse than face to face. First the reduced
audiovisual cues online may make people feel less inhibited, and therefore may be more ruthless
with their feedback. Next online feedback is more pubic than face to face, although they can
adjust privacy settings on their profiles, there is still a large amount of people who can see their
profiles. Lastly, compared to face to face feedback, online feedback is more persistent and
visible to others after it has been communicated.
6. There are multiple sides to nearly everything, and social media is not an exception. Some
people think social media is helpful for society and some think it’s harmful. There are many
arguments for both sides. Some of the arguments against it are online deception, cyber-bullying,
and it can cause self-esteem issues. These issues may outweigh the benefits social media brings.
