Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
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!

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

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

28. What does Adaptation mean?
• Change in behavior of an individual or group
in adjustment to new or modified
surroundings is an adaptation.
• Something that is changed or changes so as to
become suitable to a new or special use or
individual situation is an adaptation.
Pip Campbell VA Webinar September 2010 http://tnt.asu.edu http://jeffline.jefferson.edu/cfsrp 28
29. Adaptations as Interventions
• Environments, activities & routines, have social
and physical expectations for participation
• Adaptations, including assistive technology allow
participation in typical family routines and
activities
• Adaptations function as a mediator to make a
bridge between the child’s abilities and the
“demands” or expectations of the environment
• By promoting participation, opportunities for
learning are increased

movement
• Safety plugs in outlets
• Bath seat
• Toys with large grips or safe to chew
• Rewards (i.e., preferred activity) after
doing something that is difficult
• Break multi-step directions into single
step (e.g., Go to the kitchen and get

41. Adaptation/AT
An Intervention to promote participation
This child is participating in
toy play by reaching &
hitting the switch to
activate a toy -- without
adult assistance & through
use of adaptations and AT
•Child chair – modified
with foam
•Motivating/engaging toy
that moves
•Simple switch

43. Continuum:
Adaptations to the Environment
• Adaptations to the environment change the setting.
For example:
• Rearrange the furniture in the room so that a child in a
wheelchair can move about freely.
• Adapt or add equipment (e.g.,
use a slant board to help
a child participate in coloring
activities, use wedge
to provide supportive seating
during circle activities).

46. Continuum:
Adaptations to Activities and Routines
An activity or routine may be adapted to accommodate special
needs. For example:
• Add periodic movement activities to a story time activity to
help children who have difficulty paying attention.
• Do the initial pieces of a routine for a child & let them do the
end parts – e.g., dress a child up to the point of pulling up long
pants
• Start dinner earlier for a child who needs longer to eat than the
rest of the family.
• Allow a child to “walk” to mealtimes by being a duck so that
the child is on task

48. Continuum:
Adaptations to Materials
Materials used in an activity or routine, when adapted, may
help a child participate. For example:
• Make the pencil thicker by putting a foam curler around it or
by wrapping the pencil with play dough or silly putty to help
a child who has problems gripping pencils/crayons.
• Use assistive technology—
as in the case of using
a simple switch interface
to help a child with motor
difficulties activate a toy.

57. Continuum:
Requirements and Instruction
Changing the requirements of an activity or a routine, or
the way you provide instruction can enable a child to
participate.
For example:
• Use photographs to show each step rather than simply
speaking the instructions.
• Reduce the number of steps a child is expected to
perform to change requirements.

61. Continuum:
Assistance
• Providing assistance is the most intrusive form of
adaptation because it involves another child or adult
actually helping the child do the activity or routine,
rather than allowing the child to do it independently.
Always try to have a peer provide the assistance first
before using an adult.
• Provide assistance only
when other adaptations
have not worked, and
only as a last resort.

63. It is hard to remember ---but
ADAPTATIONS & AT are NOT about
the “STUFF”
Pip Campbell VA Webinar September 2010 http://tnt.asu.edu http://jeffline.jefferson.edu/cfsrp 63
64. ADAPTATIONS & AT ARE ----
• INTERVENTIONS
• To help children participate in activities and
routines to the maximal extent possible
• To increase opportunities for incidental (or
unplanned) learning opportunities
• To increase functional skill performance across
activities/routines for children with significant
disabilities

65. ADAPTATIONS & AT ARE ----
Strategies /Interventions/Methods used by
professionals and family members for the
purpose of influencing
