The effects of smoking on health, including the numerous disorders and diseases that are linked to smoking, will be covered in this essay. Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from the negative effects of smoking on their health. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that smoking causes around 8 million deaths worldwide each year and is the largest cause of preventable death. The effect of smoking on health, including the different illnesses and ailments that it can cause, will be covered in this essay.
To start, smoking is one of the leading risk factors for developing lung cancer. One type of cancer that begins in the lungs and can spread to other body areas is lung cancer. 85% of lung cancer cases, according to the American Cancer Society, are caused by smoking. The quantity and duration of smoking have a direct relationship with the risk of lung cancer development. Smokers are more likely to get bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, throat cancer, and mouth cancer, among other cancers.
Moreover, smoking has been linked to several respiratory illnesses, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) makes breathing challenging. It is brought on by lung damage from smoking, which causes inflammation and airway narrowing. Emphysema, a kind of COPD that affects the air sacs in the lungs, is another condition that smokers are more likely to acquire.
Discover the exact ways smoking affects the skin and even leads to skin cancer. Also educate yourself about how to prevent the skin damage that smoking brings.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

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
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.

1. The Health Risks of Smoking
Cigarettes
By
http://2stopsmokingtips.com
2. Introduction
• The health risks of smoking are not only grave
but deadly. It’s amazing how people still
smoke despite the warnings to the effect. The
World Health Organization (WHO) estimates
that tobacco caused 5.4 million deaths in 2004
and 100 million deaths over the course of the
20th century.
3. Introduction(2)
• The American Lung Association states that
cigarette smoking is the most prevalent cause
of avoidable disease and death worldwide. It
continues to say that diseases caused by
smoking are responsible for the death of
393,000 Americans every year.
4. Statistics of Smoking-Related Deaths
• The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention has a much higher figure. While
reiterating the fact that smoking is the leading
cause of avertable deaths in the United
States, it states that 443,000 people die ahead
of time from smoking or contact with passive
smoke every year, while another 8.6 million
live with deadly illnesses caused by smoking.
5. Statistics of Smoking-Related
Deaths(2)
• Despite these hazards, about 46.6 million U.S.
citizens still smoke cigarettes. If you think it’s just
cigarettes that have deadly consequences, please
note that smokeless tobacco, cigars, and pipes
also have fatal end results, including but not
limited to, lung, larynx, esophageal, and oral
cancers.
• In the UK, cigarette smoking is said to be the
leading single cause of ill health and untimely
death, directly accounting for over 100,000
deaths each year.
6. Statistics of Smoking-Related
Deaths(3)
• Of these deaths, about 42,800 are from smoking-
related cancers, 30,600 from cardiovascular
disease and 29,100 die slowly from emphysema
and other chronic lung diseases.
• As if that was enough, Health Canada gives an
overview of the health risks of smoking as
including Cancer of the mouth, throat and
pancreas, Emphysema, heart
attacks, Pneumonia, Lung Cancer, etc
7. Statistics of Smoking-Related
Deaths(4)
• If you smoke, the greatest danger you might face is
that of contracting lung cancer and a possible heart
attack because of less carbon dioxide (CO2)
transported into your veins. You also stand the risk of
having a stroke.
• This is because cigarette smoke contains over 4,800
chemicals, 69 of which are said to bring about
cancer, according to the American Lung Association.
These toxic and damaging substances include tar (a
substance that brings about cancer), Nicotine (a highly
addictive chemical that increases body cholesterol
levels), and Carbon Monoxide (a substance which
lowers oxygen levels in the body).
8. Why Cigarettes are Harmful
• MedicalNewsToday has a longer list of dangerous
elements found in tobacco smoke and how they can
hurt you.
• The harm and danger posed by smoking is greatly
determined by 3 things: the number of cigarettes
smoked, how the tobacco was prepared as well as if
the cigarette has a filter or not.
• You may not believe it, but a few cigarettes daily are
bad for your health. We all know people who have
smoked all their lives without any visible side effects;
yet, we also have people who recently started smoking
but have evident side effects from their smoking habit.
9. Health Risks of Smoking
• This may have a lot to do with our different
body physiology and since you don’t know
what your body makeup is like, it’s best to
abstain if you have not started smoking but if
you have, stop right away! Smoking is such
that, once you begin, it can be extremely
tough to stop. The nicotine in cigarettes is
toxic and habit-forming. Once you are used to
it, your body feels like it can’t function
without it
10. Health Risks of Smoking(2)
• When you look at the health risks of smoking
below, you will understand why they say
‘smoking is bad for you’. It is an old saying
and many of us do not pay attention it but it
doesn’t change the fact that smoking is bad
for you.
11. Smoking Reduces How Long You Live
• Many studies and investigations have
recognized the fact that smoking reduces how
long you live. One particular 50 year research
revealed that smoking cuts life expectancy by
10 years. Deaths caused by smoking are most
likely to be through cancer, and around 88% of
deaths from lung cancer are from smoking.
Tobacco eventually kills about half of those
who use it.
12. Smoking Reduces How Long You
Live(2)
• Yet another study published in January 2ooo says one
cigarette reduces your life by 11 minutes.
• In the same vein, the Zutphen Study, published in April
2007, concludes that all forms of smoking (either
cigar, pipe or cigarette smoking reduce life expectancy
but with cigar or pipe smoking dropping life expectancy
to a lesser degree than cigarette smoking). According
to the study, “both the number of cigarettes smoked
and duration of smoking are strongly associated with
mortality risk and the number of life-years lost.” And
that stopping smoking after age 40 has major health
benefits.
13. Smoking Lowers the Quality of Life
• Not only does smoking reduce your life span, it
also lowers the quality of life, as smoking is linked
with an array of chronic diseases such as
asthma, bronchitis and high blood pressure.
Results of a Finnish Study revealed that the
quality of life deteriorated according to the
number of cigarettes smoked every day.
“Therefore, men who had never smoked had the
best quality of life, whilst heavy smokers had the
poorest quality of life. Smoking had the greatest
impact upon “physical functioning” and “role
limitations caused by health issues”.
14. List of Major Diseases Caused by
Smoking
• Lung Cancer.
• The commonest cause of lung cancer is long-term
contact with tobacco smoke. According to
Wikipedia, “lung cancer is the most common
cause of cancer-related death in men and
women, and is responsible for 1.3 million deaths
annually, as of 2004. The most common
symptoms are shortness of breath, coughing
(including coughing up blood), and weight loss.”
15. Lung Cancer(2)
• In 2008, about 40,800 people were diagnosed
with lung cancer in the UK, 35,260 people
died from the disease that same year in the
UK.
• The American Cancer Society’s most recent
figures for lung cancer in the United States for
2011 are as follows:
• About 221,130 new cases of lung cancer
• About 156,940 deaths from lung cancer
16. Lung Cancer(3)
• It is noteworthy that 60% of lung cancers
diagnosed today occur in those who have
never smoked in life or gave up smoking
several years ago. Cigarette smoking, whether
now or in the past, remains the principal
cause of lung cancer, while contact with radon
is the chief cause in non-smokers. Secondhand
smoke is believed to account for about 3,400
lung cancer deaths per year in those who have
never smoked.
17. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD)
• This is a serious lung disease that kills about
25,000 people in the UK every year. More than 8
in 10 of these deaths are directly linked to
smoking. COPD is the third leading cause of death
in America, claiming the lives of 124,477
Americans in 2007. People who die of COPD are
usually in poor health for several years before
they give up the ghost. COPD is a collective term
for a group of diseases that block airflow and
make breathing more complicated, such as:
18. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD) 2
• emphysema – inability to breathe brought about by
damage to the alveoli (air sacs)
• chronic bronchitis – coughing with a lot of mucus that
goes on unabatedly for three months minimum.
• Smoking is the principal cause of COPD and is
responsible for 80 per cent of cases. It’s said that 94
per cent of 20-a-day smokers have some emphysema
when the lungs are examined after death, while more
than 90 per cent of non-smokers have little or none.
COPD usually starts between ages 35 to 45 brackets
when lung function begins to decline anyway.
19. Quitting can assist
• Lung damage from COPD is permanent and
irreparable, but giving up smoking at any stage
reduces the level of decline in lung capacity and
functioning.
• The most common COPD caused by smoking is
emphysema. Over 80% of the cases are smoking
related. Emphysema is a disease characterized by
inability to breathe out air. This is contrary to
popular belief that it is a disease characterized by
inability to breathe in.
20. Quitting can assist(2)
• Each time you smoke, you destroy the lungs elasticity
by tearing down the tissue that drags your lung back
together after using muscles that allow us to draw in
air. So when it comes to the time to take your next
breath it is that much more difficult, for your lungs can
not get back to their original shape.
• Imagine going through life having to struggle to
breathe. Unfortunately, millions of people don’t have
to imagine it, they live it daily. It is a miserable way to
live and a slow painful way to die.
21. Heart disease
• Most people relate cigarette smoking with
COPD and lung cancer. But did you know that
smoking is also a foremost cause of heart
disease for both sexes?
• Statistics reveal that 20% of all deaths from
heart disease in the U.S. are directly related to
cigarette smoking. That’s because smoking is a
chief cause of coronary artery disease.
22. Heart disease(2)
• A person’s risk of heart disease and heart
attack are greatly determined by the number
of cigarettes he or she smokes. As long as they
continue to smoke, smokers continue to
increase their risk of heart disease. People
who light up a pack of cigarettes on a daily
basis have more than twice the danger of
heart attack than people who don’t smoke.
23. Heart disease(3)
• In the UK, heart disease is the biggest killer ailment.
About 120,000 people in the UK die yearly from the
disease. About 1 in 7 of these is due to smoking.
• Other cancers – of the
mouth, nose, throat, larynx, gullet
(oesophagus), lip, tongue, pancreas, pharynx, urinary
bladder, cervix, blood (leukemia), and kidney are all
more prevalent among smokers. They have all seen
marked increases over the 20th century. These cancers
have gone from not being known to some of the major
causes of death in the US.
24. Other Cancers
• Cigarette smoke also has negative effects on
women’s reproductive health. It is linked with
reduced fertility and a higher risk of
miscarriage, premature
delivery, stillbirth, infant death, and is a cause
of low birth weight in infants. It has also been
connected to sudden infant death syndrome
(SIDS).
25. Circulation
• The elements in cigarette smoke can injure the
inside layer of the blood vessels and affect the
amount of fats in the bloodstream. This increases
the risk of a condition sometimes called
hardening of the arteries. This is the main cause
of heart disease, strokes, peripheral vascular
disease (poor circulation of the legs), and
aneurysms (swollen arteries which can burst
causing internal bleeding). Known as
atheroma, all the above-mentioned diseases are
prevalent among smokers.
26. Other Health Problems
• Smoking has also been linked to a variety of
other health problems, including gum
disease, cataracts, bone thinning, hip
fractures, peptic
ulcers, impotence, rheumatoid
arthritis, ageing, reduced fertility in both sexes
as well as menopausal problems.
27. Other Health Problems(2)
• Other conditions whose symptoms are made
worse by smoking include:
pneumonia, asthma, chest
infections, colds, tuberculosis, chronic
rhinitis, diabetic
retinopathy, hyperthyroidism, multiple
sclerosis, optic neuritis, Crohn’s disease and
flu.
