Fundraising efforts of the leukemia and lymphoma society by dawn johnson usaaDawn Johnson
Dawn Johnson currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, South Central Texas Chapter. Professionally, she most recently held the role of Chief Marketing Officer, Executive Vice President with the United Services Automobile Association (USAA) in San Antonio.
Former director of electrophysiology at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in San Diego, Sanjiv M Narayan MD Ph.D. is currently a professor of medicine at Stanford University. Experienced cardiologist Sanjiv Narayan is a member of several groups and organizations, such as the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS).
Formerly called the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology (NASPE), the Heart Rhythm Society was founded in 1979 by four doctors. It is a non-profit international organization whose mission is to improve patient care through research, education, and optimal health care policies and standards.
The HRS organizes several events, and from time to time holds awareness campaigns, the purpose of which is to shed more light on heart diseases. There are three familiar campaigns:
Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month
Through its efforts during this campaign in September and throughout the year, the HRS works to increase public awareness of atrial fibrillation symptoms, warning signs, and treatments.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month
This is a Heart Rhythm Society initiative to raise awareness on sudden cardiac arrest. The campaign focuses on heart attack survivors, who are most at risk of sudden cardiac arrest, and emphasizes the importance of leading a healthy heart lifestyle.
Arrest the Weak
This multi-year national campaign was launched in October 2012. HRS made an effort to raise awareness of the importance of preventing sudden cardiac arrest, early intervention, and appropriate treatment to help reduce the mortality rate.
More than 250 residents completed a 3.1-mile walk through Baldwin and Oceanside and used Internet-based Crowdrise to raise the funds, which along with event sponsorships, grossed more than $76,000.
This slideshow was prepared as part of a panel discussion for the American Public Health Association’s national conference, November 2014, in New Orleans. The subject was The Kresge Foundation’s Safety-Net Enhancement Initiative, a multiyear effort undertaken in eight communities across the U.S. (Kresge photos by Lon Horwedel)

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.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
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

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!

L ast year throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, our programs empowered
thousands of individuals to improve their health. More than 81,882 children
enrolled in our Go Healthy Challenge, raising their awareness of the importance
of good nutrition and exercise and encouraging behavior change. The Go Red
For Women initiative empowered 72,980 women to take the Heart CheckUp to
manage their heart health. Through the Power To End Stroke program, more
than 33,456 African Americans learned of their risk for stroke and their ability
to do something about it. In order to fund critical cardiovascular research and
conduct local community outreach, we raise funds through exceptional events
that bring the Greater Washington Region together.
These events include:
An Affair of the Heart Luncheon and Fashion Show is is held by the Women’s Board
