1. The document discusses how psychological concepts from existential and cognitive behavioral theories can be applied in workplace to create a more positive attitude among employees.
2. It provides background on Viktor Frankl's experiences in Nazi concentration camps and how he was able to find meaning and survive, demonstrating existential theory in practice.
3. Key principles from existential and cognitive behavioral approaches are explained, such as recognizing we have freedom to choose our responses, finding meaning in all moments, and recognizing dysfunctional thoughts that can be replaced with healthier thinking.
The PowerPoint Presentation entitled 'Critical History and Future of Psychotherapy' provides viewers with a brief outline of the history and possible futures of this interesting area of inquiry and practice. Owing to the fact that psychotherapy has become in the last decades a vast area with hundreds of often competing approaches and ways of thinking about mental health issues, the presentation does not pretend that it can do the diversity of the field and its ways of thinking and inherent problems justice. Other presentations focusing on particular key aspects will follow. Please share your feedback with the author at slse@bigpond.net.au.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
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
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
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Introduction
A meaningful life includes meaningful work, a lot of times people tend to focus on the
personal lives of the individual to explain certain behavioral patterns. But let us face it, we spend
majority of our waking times at work and most of the thinking processes, strong emotions that
we felt and bonds we have created took place in the work environment. After 8 hours of
strenuous work it will depend on your day outcome your emotions for the consequent scenarios
that would took place. This is called the “spillover effect”. It is important to explore why do
some people became more successful than others, why do some people tend to manage stress
much more efficiently and why do some people tend to develop more social cohesiveness than
others being in the same environment with them. There must be something different on the way
they think, feel and act. Renowned psychologist invested countless number of hours conducting
experiments to test their hypothesis, some experience near death scenarios only for them to
discover where people draw out their strengths to carry on. Assimilating their theories into the
industrial setting tend to improve the efficacy, emotional resiliency and advancement toward
growth and the need for self-actualization of the employees.

Main Discussion:
“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is but rather must recognize that it
is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by
answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible. “
– Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search for meaning
The principle above is an excerpt from Viktor Frankl’s best-selling book. When asked how he
felt in regards of the success of his book Frankl expressed his sadness that a lot of people seems
at lost with meaning about their lives. I would like to tell you the story of the life of Mr. Viktor
Frankl at the tender age of 16, he gave his first public lecture, “On the meaning of life.” At a
young age, Frankl had become convinced that the human spirit is what makes us unique and the
reducing life and human nature to “nothing but” along the lines of many existentialist
philosophers and psychiatrist of his time denied or discounted any such spirit. He became a very
successful neurologist and psychiatrist. His theory was developed in the academe but was further
confirmed by his experiences in the war, in the holocaust. His whole family was sent to a
concentration camp in Prague. This was the beginning of three dark years of imprisonment
during which Frankl lost his wife, Tilly, his parents and his brothers to the horrors of the Nazi
prison camp. He nearly died from typhoid fever and kept himself going by reconstructing his
manuscript on bits of paper stolen from the camp office. How could he – every possession lost,
every value destroyed, suffering from hunger , cold and brutality, hourly expecting extermination
– how could he find a life worth preserving. He survived because he has found meaning, as well
as others who were with him in the concentration camp.
Surely the amount of responsibility and pressure that we have in our work doesn’t compare to
what frankl and his colleagues experienced in the Nazi concentration camp. but it made him
survive the most extreme environment surely it could be applied in the workplace. Below are the
list of principles that makes up the Existential approaches:
1. We are free to choose our attitude toward everything that happens to us
2. We can realize our will to meaning by making a conscious, authentic commitment to
meaningful values and goals
3. We can find meaning in all life’s moments
4. We can learn to see how we work against ourselves and can learn to avoid thwarting our
intentions
5. We can look at ourselves in a distance to gain insight and perspective as well as to laugh
at ourselves
6. We can shift our focus of attention when we are coping with difficult situations
7. We can reach beyond ourselves and make a difference in the world.
“Between the stimulus and response there is a space. The freedom to choose how we would
respond, on that response lies our growth and happiness”.
6. An existential approach doesn’t limit human potential. As long as you give meaning with
whatever you are doing everything is possible. In life you only gain may it be bad or good event
there is a meaning attached into it, the only time you lost something is when you fail to recognize
that meaning. Existential Theories can provide individuals meaning in their work
Cognitive Behavioral therapy is the contemporary form of behavior therapy it gives emphasis on
the role of cognition in all mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering and
communicating. CBT has been used globally in treatment of depression and anxiety. Feeling of
sadness is very common in the workplace due to its high pressure environment. Mr. Aaron T.
Beck is the key proponent of CBT he is renowned psychiatrist specializing in treatment of
depressed patients. The best thing about CBT is that same as with existential approaches it is anti
– deterministic. Mr. Beck has been in a lot of trials in which he managed to overcome
cognitively.
Below are the major assumptions of cognitive behavior therapy:
1. An organism needs to process information in an adaptive way in order to survive
2. Psychological distress is the ultimate consequence of the interaction of innate, biological,
developmental and environmental factors
3. It is our cognitions which include our thoughts and beliefs and the manner in which we
perceive a situation, that are the basis for what we believe, how we act and how we feel.
4. The cognitive model proposes that dysfunctional thinking is common among
psychological conflicts
He asserted that people exhibit dysfunctional thoughts that are not necessarily proven. If it
remained unchecked it will become and individuals core life principle. It will become deeply
incorporated to the individual life that he will accept it as a general truth.
It assumes that our thinking colors our feelings between the even and our response lies the mind.
Self-blaming and overgeneralized explanation of bad events are often integral part of the vicious
cycle of depression. The depressed person interprets a suggestion as criticism, disagreement as a
dislike, praise as flattery, friendliness as pity. Ruminating on such thoughts sustains negative
thinking.
The cognitive model is depicted below; it shows how the core principle affects the way the
individual viewed certain scenarios:
6 | P a g e
7. If such thinking patterns can be learned, then surely they can be replaced. Cognitive behavioral
therapy promotes education to impart the way dysfunctional thinking affects our lives it may the
goal of CBT is for people became wary of the thoughts that automatically came in their mind and
devised a way to have a more healthier way of thinking. Cognitive behavioral theories can
help align the individuals thinking toward their goals
This concept had been tested to be effective on several levels of the society, it has provided
treatment in the clinical settings and it provided support in the societal setting. It could also
provide insight and growth in the industrial setting. Organizations is the convergence of people
with similar goals, thus psychological care must also be present in the workplace.

Conclusions
We have seen the importance of work in or lives, it sustains our needs thus it is inevitable that
we feel the pressure that came along with it. The growing technological advances in the
workplace also adds up with the stress levels as manager counts to the last minute the amount of
work you have done, how you have spent the companies time and how you waste your time. The
workplace also becomes the rendezvous point of different individuals with varying viewpoints
thus conflict is also inevitable. By applying the methods of the existentialist we have learned to
that everything that is happening in our lives has meaning and we only gain from it. From the
concepts of CBT we have drawn out that there are thoughts that are no necessarily true but it
incapacitates us and tend to inhibit us in achieving our true potential. Thus by applying this
concepts we can have a more healthier mind and a more positive attitude towards our work.
Recommendations
The researcher recommends a more extensive study of the theoretical concepts mentioned in this
term paper. To know but not to do is not knowing at all. So the best way for the reader to
assimilate the information provided in this paper is to live it through they will see significant
changes in their lives.
