EGS Project - overview
A brief presentation outlining what the Employability of Graduates in Sport (EGS) project is and what it seeks to accomplish.
The Employability of Graduates in Sport (EGS) is a European Commission Lifelong Learning Programme-funded project designed to improve the employability of sports graduates across the EU.
Active Fans
A presentation outlining the findings of a small research project investigating sports fans’ perceptions, attitudes and opinions of sports clubs as settings for health promotion programmes.
Settings-based health promotion approaches have the potential to recognise the wider social, environmental, cultural and economic factors affecting health behaviour.
The aim of this project was to understand physical activity, health and well-being preferences of sports fans in order to inform the development of future health interventions within sports club settings.
MHFA in the armed forces evaluation findings
This slide Summary presents a summary of findings from an evaluation of the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) intervention to support mental health literacy among members of the Armed Forces community in the UK.
A mixed method evaluation included both quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (observations, interviews, and focus groups) elements. The quantitative aspect of the evaluation involved the development of a pre- and post-training survey which assessed shifts in trainee (n=602) knowledge, attitudes, and confidence around mental health issues from pre-training to post-training, including a follow up survey 10 months after the course to establish whether the course had a sustainable impact. Of the 602 trainees who completed the initial survey, n=120 completed the follow-up survey.
The qualitative aspect of the evaluation comprised course observations (n= 13), semi-structured telephone interviews with trainees post-training (n=13), focus groups with trainers (n =14) and a focus group with an expert reference group (n=4).
Quantitative findings revealed that:
- immediately following training, from pre- to post-intervention (the training course) trainees showed a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and confidence. Importantly, this effect was sustained at the 10 month follow-up.
- there was a small but significant decrease in knowledge which occurred from post training to follow-up. Despite the decrease from post training to follow-up, overall, knowledge, attitudes, and confidence were all significantly higher than at baseline.
Qualitative findings reported that trainees:
- increased their knowledge, understanding and confidence in talking about and communicating with people who have mental health issues;
- had improved listening skills, advice giving, and confidence in asking difficult questions regarding mental health issues.
Trainers reported:
- increased learning and confidence in understanding and managing mental health through the training experience;
- shared feeling with other trainers and trainees of wanting to support and help the promotion of mental health and its awareness in the Armed Forces community; and the need to manage military and civilian dynamics within the courses.

Assessing the value of community health programmes using sroi
Presented at the European Public Health Conference, 2017 (Baker, C. & Courtney, P.).
Contemporary theories and models applied in health promotion evaluation lack sensitivity with respect to recognising and accounting for the wider ecological context in which behaviour takes place. This leads to a deficit in knowledge concerning the nature and value of outcomes experienced by people at which programmes are targeted.
An evaluation framework was devised to understand and value the changes that occurred as a consequence of physical activity and sport projects implemented via a two-year health promotion programme in the UK.
The Social Return on Investment framework provided a means of understand-ing and valuing the wider social changes of the health promotion programme and ensured the outcomes were grounded in the realities of the people who experienced and implemented the programme.
This represents an innovative approach that addresses some of the limitations of contemporary health promotion evaluation approaches.
Our conceptual framework helps to understand the wider societal impacts of health promotion interventions which are often neglected.

An academic poster from the 2017 PHE Annual Conference. We outline how evaluating the wider value of contemporary health promotion programmes is challenging because of the complex and overlapping relationship between individuals and the wider environmental context. Commissioners of evaluations need to ensure the involvement of relevant stakeholders throughout the evaluation process1. An approach that was sensitive to the realities of the people who experience and implement programmes was devised to establish meaningful and relevant outcomes of a small grants health promotion programme.

An academic poster from the 2017 British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons Annual Conference. We outline that patient outcomes of orthognathic surgery are complex and include physical changes, mental and physical health improvements, and psychosocial adjustments1,2. To our knowledge, investigations of the personal and societal impact of orthognathic surgery using the government recognised SROI framework have not been published before.
This study represents a collaboration between the University of Gloucestershire, and Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust, involving patients following orthognathic surgery at Gloucester Royal Hospital (GRH).
Gloucestershire Active Together Social Return on Investment
Gloucestershire County Council’s (GCC) Active Together (AT) programme aimed to help encourage more participation in sport and physical activity across the county and was open to a range of community groups, from sports clubs to scout groups and parish and town councils, and schools. In September 2014 the University of Gloucestershire was commissioned Public Health Gloucestershire to evaluate the AT programme as a means of establishing evidence of whether the programme was a good way of using funds to encourage greater participation in health enhancing activities. Using a mixed methods approach incorporating a Social Return on Investment framework the evaluation sought to understand and value the changes that occurred as a consequence of projects implemented
with AT funding.

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

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). 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).
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
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.
