Indiana University Health University Hospital Palliative Care ServicesMike Aref
Introduction
In the past three years, Indiana University Health (IUH) University Hospital Palliative Care Services has expanded its size and scope. Our mission remains to treat the suffering of patients with chronic, progressive illnesses, their families, and their providers through symptom optimization and the search for meaning. While continuing to work with patients near the end-of-life and transitioning to hospice we have increasingly been involved with complex patients whose deaths are not imminent or even expected.
Our Team
The team has transitioned from a part-time to a full-time physician, a new full-time nurse practitioner, a new position in a nurse clinical coordinator, increased time for out part-time social worker, and continued part-time chaplain.
New Opportunities for Palliative Care
IUH University Hospital sees some of the sickest of the sick including advanced liver failure, advanced pulmonary disease, and transplant patients. Our service has become involved in alleviating suffering in pancreatic, liver, renal, and multivisceral transplant patients. Our expertise in opiates has placed us in a unique position to assist with patients having pain due to opioid-hyperalgesia and narcotic bowel syndrome. In addition we have started seeing more hepatology, oncology, hematology, and pulmonary patients earlier in their disease.
Out-Patient Services
We have expanded our service to now include out-patient, currently by embedding within other clinics at University Hospital including seeing patient in the multidisciplinary oncology clinic, hematology, digestive and liver disease clinic, and surgical out-patient clinic. In the near future we hope to have dedicated clinic space within the geriatrics clinic.
Presentation for the VII International Seminar of the UOC UNESCO Chair in e-Learning: Mobile Technologies for Learning & Development.
20th century education required that materials were developed in advance by the instructor, and information were scarce and publishing limited. Today information is indeed abundant and publishing is pervasive and easily accessible by students staying connected while on the go. Wireless devices are replacing wired ones in all walks of life, whereby a massive and increasing number of people soon own a computer that fits in their hand and is able to connect to the network wirelessly from virtually anywhere. 21st Century education requires that learning processes are developed dynamically both inside and outside of class with students as codevelopers, or even as primary codevelopers.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
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

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Editor's Notes
There are multi ways to identify pain. The learner will be able to recognize signs and symptoms of pain in the cognitively impaired and cognitive resident. The student will continue to implement a care plan that monitors and assesses for pain. Assessment is a higher level in Blooms Taxonomy (Oermann & Gaberson, 2009).
The student will identify whether the interventions are working by understanding the process for pain management. Explore signs and symptoms from evidence based practice/research. Prepare various researches that can be included in the email to review as supporting data. Review those that are chosen.
Obtain a guest speaker that is a pain specialist.Review of the Id, password and importance of checking emails prior to the webinar via a schedule phone conference. Review of the directions for utilizing the webinar such as the phone and access code will be included in the email with the power point presentation. Review that the information obtained is from evidence based research that upholds peer review measured against criteria (Billings & Halstead, 2009).
Review chronic and acute signs and symptoms. Also explore the perception of the resident: Utilize all his or her senses. Understand that if can be related to the disease process. Explore the physical and emotional stressors related to pain.
Identify various cultures and traditions that would influence the management of pain. Explore the role age related dementia has with many residents behaviors that have traditionally been treated with chemical restraints.
Explore the effect pain has on the cognitively impaired individual. The increased assessments and delegation to other staff regarding repositioning. Also the ongoing assessment of an administered pain medication. Pain increases the chances of poor nutrition and cognitive changes. Individuals that have chronic pain also can have depression. Explore the role within a facility of the team such as the clinical psychiatrist as well as the social worker.
Rule out other causes of pain by obtaining baseline data such as an X-ray or labs. Review prepared data on various diseases that contribute to increased pain or immobility that can cause increased pain. This is an opportunity to review alternative medicines or treatments such as meditation or massage therapy.
Monitor facial expression and body language. Vocal complaints or frequent attempts to reposition self if in a wheelchair. Utilize pain scale. Obtain resident goal if able to express.
Have other pain scales available to insert into the presentation once the webinar has started. This can be done through the webinar by opening another window.
Assess upon admission. Continue to voice the need for a pain goal that should be obtained upon admission. Care plan updates with any changes so all staff are continuing with the same process for pain management. Obtain a consult from physical or occupational therapy if necessary. Also explore the use of rounds by a team that includes rehab social worker, a nurse, an aid and the nurse educator.
Scheduled pain medicines versus prn’s. Alternative activities for all residents to keep them active. Less activity increases the chances of chronic pain. Spend time with residents - offer information about other programs. Explore the use of meditation for pain control as well as benefits for other ailments.
Insert flow sheets, care plan, discharge transition plan and MAR/TAR’s examples into the webinar.
Review the MAR! Is it working??
Overview of the entire presentation quickly and answer any questions.
