Isolation is a leading symptom of depression. Our world is full of systems to keep us focused on different tasks and different times; we are becoming virtually isolated and hence more depressed.
This multi-system isolation is leading to a new form of loneliness and emerging forms of anxiety and extreme group think in our cultural narrative.
User interface and experience should enable people to feel fully unburdened from a fear of suffering.
From wearables, to on demand services, everything is designed to promote distraction from pain.

Quantifying Well-Being: Big Mother, Big BrotherChris Dancy
SXSW 2015 session.
Well-being isn’t only about health or even the absence of sickness. Today, it’s about purpose, social support, community, financial security and physical health. But is it possible to quantify your own personal well-being? And if so, what does the data mean and what should you do with it? This session brings one of the world’s most well-known leaders in personal data to explore the convergence of forces that combine high tech personal health tracking devices with fundamental lifestyle changes to empower people to achieve their optimal well-being. Chris Dancy, named the “The Most Connected Man on Earth” by Mashable, Fox News and the BBC. This interactive session will feature a session demonstration of "Smart phone" palmistry" where we will look at how we are embedding our lives into our devices

What if you received information about your health and living habits in the same way it was made available to a world class researcher or scientist? What could mountains of actionable data do for your life, and how might it inform the way you live?
The movement started with life logging and the quantified self. Now the first data-driven health “prosumers” are rapidly emerging. From measuring the decay of their DNA to adjusting the humidity in their homes, citizen scientists of this decade will radically redefine healthcare as we understand it and daily life as they experience it.
In this session, we will explore:
How the role of clinician, physician, and facility evolve in this world
The role of data collection in understanding present choices and future health outcomes
How to correlate environmental conditions with our biological systems
How emerging trends in genetics and home health will transform the world in the next few years
The top five things we can do with mobile devices to begin taking charge of our health experience

The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of predicting sleep quality (ie, poor or adequate sleep efficiency) given the physical activity wearable data during awake time. In this study, we focused on predicting good or poor sleep efficiency as an indicator of sleep quality. Deep learning methods can predict the quality of sleep based on actigraphy data from awake periods. These predictive models can be an important tool for sleep research and to improve eHealth solutions for sleep.

Online Diabetes: Inferring Community Structure in Healthcare Forums. Luis Fernandez Luque
Inferring community structure in healthcare forums. An empirical study by Chomutare T, Arsand E, Fernandez-Luque L, Lauritzen J, Hartvigsen G. Methods Inf Med. 2013;52(2):160-7. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23392282
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Detecting community structures in complex networks is a problem interesting to several domains. In healthcare, discovering communities may enhance the quality of web offerings for people with chronic diseases. Understanding the social dynamics and community attachments is key to predicting and influencing interaction and information flow to the right patients.
OBJECTIVES:
The goal of the study is to empirically assess the extent to which we can infer meaningful community structures from implicit networks of peer interaction in online healthcare forums.
METHODS:
We used datasets from five online diabetes forums to design networks based on peer-interactions. A quality function based on user interaction similarity was used to assess the quality of the discovered communities to complement existing homophily measures.
RESULTS:
Results show that we can infer meaningful communities by observing forum interactions. Closely similar users tended to co-appear in the top communities, suggesting the discovered communities are intuitive. The number of years since diagnosis was a significant factor for cohesiveness in some diabetes communities.
CONCLUSION:
Network analysis is a tool that can be useful in studying implicit networks that form in healthcare forums. Current analysis informs further work on predicting and influencing interaction, information flow and user interests that could be useful for personalizing medical social media.
Social media in health--what are the safety concerns for health consumers? Luis Fernandez Luque
Social media in health--what are the safety concerns for health consumers? by Lau AY, Gabarron E, Fernandez-Luque L, Armayones M. HIM J. 2012;41(2):30-5. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23705132
Abstract: Recent literature has discussed the unintended consequences of clinical information technologies (IT) on patient safety, yet there has been little discussion about the safety concerns in the area of consumer health IT. This paper
presents a range of safety concerns for consumers in social media, with a case study on YouTube. We conducted a scan of abstracts on ‘quality criteria’ related to YouTube. Five areas regarding the safety of YouTube for consumers were identified: (a) harmful health material targeted at consumers (such as inappropriate marketing of tobacco or direct-to-consumer drug advertising); (b) public display of unhealthy behaviour (such as people displaying self-injury behaviours or hurting others); (c) tainted public health messages (i.e. the rise of negative voices against public health messages); (d) psychological impact from accessing inappropriate, offensive or biased social media content; and (e) using social media to distort policy and research funding agendas. The examples presented should contribute to a better understanding about how to promote a safe consumption and production of social
media for consumers, and an evidence-based approach to designing social media interventions for health. The
potential harm associated with the use of unsafe social media content on the Internet is a major concern. More empirical and theoretical studies are needed to examine how social media influences consumer health decisions, behaviours and outcomes, and devise ways to deter the dissemination of harmful influences in social media.

This presentation was made for the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Service. Global Health Unit Open Seminar – 6th August 2013
In this presentation, we will introduce how social media is being used in transforming communication with patients. We will use study cases, such as the ‘zombi invasion’ organised by the CDC and online puzzles for biomedical research, to provide an overview of current trends. In addition, we will present research conducted at Norut (Northern Research Institute) about the challenges of finding trustworthy health social media. Our focus will be directed towards harmful online communities promoting anorexia as a lifestyle or anti-vaccination online groups.

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.

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
