1. The document discusses suicide risk assessment and prevention. It provides an overview of statistical data on suicide rates in the UK, outlines high risk groups, and reviews the Department of Health's suicide prevention strategy.
2. Risk factors for suicide include mood disorders, substance abuse, previous suicide attempts, and easy access to lethal means. A thorough risk assessment involves exploring suicidal thoughts and plans through open and closed questioning.
3. Ongoing support and follow-up are important for managing risk, as risk is dynamic and requires regular reassessment. Early identification and treatment of depression can help prevent suicide.

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

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
7. Coroner’s Inquest Media Coverage
“Her GP Dr Ryley accepted that when he saw her on 24th
March, a month before her death, he had considered only her
problems of tiredness and getting to school late and had not
asked her about depression.”
“He was concerned her problem could be due to iron deficiency
or low thyroid level and, as she was a vegetarian, he treated her
accordingly, he said.”
“Asked by the coroner if he felt there had been a missed
opportunity to help her, given her suicide bid at Beachey Head,
Dr Ryley said "Certainly, in retrospect. I agree I would have
looked to enquire closely about mood and depression but I
didn't on that occasion.””
8. Statistical Update
• 4,215 suicides recorded in 2010.
• 3 year average for 2008-10 was 7.9 suicides per
100,000 general population, 17.9 % lower than in
1998-2000.
• Most substantial decreases seen towards the
beginning of this period and data show a very
slight increase in deaths from suicide in more
recent years.
• West Midlands: 2007 245 & 2010 450
9. Statistical Update
• Majority in adult males – 4 times more M than F in 25-29
• Rate is now highest for middle age men – slight increase
• 1 % of population have suicidal thoughts per week
• Between a quarter and a half of those committing suicide
have previously carried out a non-fatal act
• Average estimated cost per completed suicide is £1.67m
• Challenge is that suicide is rare event, prediction has very
low specificity (so lots of false positives)

14. Mental Health Patient Suicide
• About 1100 suicides by people in contact
with mental health service in previous 12
months
• About 70-80 psychiatric inpatients die
annually by suicide
• Highest risk: 14 days post-discharge (‘7 day
follow up’)
18. Primary care and suicide
• List size of 1000 – would take 8 years of
consultations before a GP will consult with a
patient who will shortly thereafter commit suicide
• About 90% of those in contact with MH services
will see GP in year preceding suicide, and about
45% in the month preceding suicide
• Mean of 8 consultations with GP in year preceding
death
• Is there a role for suicide prevention in primary
care?
19. DoH Suicide Prevention Strategy
• Published in September 2012
1. Reduce risk in key high risk groups
2. Tailor approaches to improve MH in specific groups
3. Reduce access to the means of suicide
4. Better information and support to those bereaved or
affected by suicide
5. Support the media in delivering sensitive approaches to
suicide and suicidal behaviour
6. Support research, data collection and monitoring
20. High risk groups
1. Young and middle-aged men
2. People in the care of mental health services, including
inpatients
3. People with a history of self-harm
4. People in contact with the criminal justice system
5. Specific occupational groups, such as doctors, nurses,
veterinary workers, farmers and agricultural workers.
21. Suicide Prevention Strategy
• “Those who work with men in different settings, especially
primary care, need to be particularly alert to the signs of
suicidal behaviour.”
• “Accessible, high-quality mental health services are
fundamental to reducing the suicide risk in people of all ages
with mental health problems.”
• “Emergency departments and primary care have important
roles in the care of people who self-harm, with a focus on
good communication and follow-up.”
• “Depression is one of the most important risk factors for
suicide. The early identification and prompt, effective
treatment of depression has a major role to play in
preventing suicide across the whole population.”
22. Primary Care
• “GPs have a key role in the care of people who self-harm.
Good communication between secondary and primary care
is vital, as many people who present at emergency
departments following an episode of self-harm consult their
GP soon afterwards.”
• “Work undertaken by the London School of Economics has
shown that suicide prevention education for GPs can have an
impact as a population level intervention to prevent suicide.”
[ASIST course costs about £200 per GP]
23. Evidence base issues
• Medication - only lithium and clozapine have good
evidence for reducing suicide
• Medication/hospitalisation have good face validity for
being helpful, but limited evidence of ‘anti-suicidal’ effect
• Medication/hospitalisation are not without risks
• Treatment with medication can give access to means – a
third of those who commit suicide and are in contact with
MH services in last 12 months self poison with
psychotropic medication
• Side effects such as akathisia increase suicide risk
• Hospitalisation – 30 per cent of community suicides in 3
months post-discharge
24. Risk factors for suicide
Biopsychosocial Risk Factors
•Mood disorders, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders and
certain personality disorders
•Alcohol and other substance use disorders
•Hopelessness/helplessness
•Impulsive and/or aggressive tendencies
•History of trauma or abuse
•Some major physical illnesses
•Previous suicide attempt
•Family history of suicide
25. Risk factors for suicide
Environmental Risk Factors
•Job or financial loss
•Relationship or social loss
•Easy access to lethal means
•Local clusters of suicide that have a
contagious influence
26. Risk factors for suicide
Sociocultural Risk Factors
•Lack of social support and sense of isolation
•Stigma associated with help-seeking behaviour
•Barriers to accessing health care, especially
mental health and substance abuse treatment
•Certain cultural and religious beliefs (for
instance, the belief that suicide is a noble
resolution of a personal dilemma)
•Exposure to, including through the media, and
influence of others who have died by suicide
27. Assessment
• “Asking a patient about suicide increases
the increase risk of suicide” – T/F?
• “Those who talk about suicide do not
commit suicide” – T/F?
• Use graded questions – open and closed
• Explore suicidal ideas – is there a plan?
• What are the means?
28. Assess seriousness
• Intent
• Planned vs. impulsive
• Final acts
• Attempts made to prevent discovery
• How discovered and how brought to medical
attention?
• Use graded questions – open and closed
• Explore suicidal ideas – is there a plan?
• What are the means? (e.g. guns – greater risk)
• How do they feel now?

• Suicide is major cause of death and major public
health issue
• Risk assessment is an important intervention
• Risk is dynamic and needs regular reassessment
• Early identification and treatment of depression is
important
• Good relationships between primary and
secondary care essential
34. Fighting stigma - a final thought
“Killing oneself is, anyway, a misnomer. We don't kill
ourselves. We are simply defeated by the long, hard
struggle to stay alive. When somebody dies after a
long illness, people are apt to say, with a note of
approval, "He fought so hard." And they are inclined
to think, about a suicide, that no fight was involved,
that somebody simply gave up. This is quite wrong.”
Sally Brampton, Shoot The Damn Dog: A Memoir Of Depression
Editor's Notes
Other diagnoses have increased, particularly adjustment disorder Depression will be the second leading cause of death worldwide by 2020 and experts are seeking ways to reduce the burden.
