Women now make up 16% of the total military across branches. While some countries like Israel require women to serve in combat roles, most women still face restrictions. Women face unique challenges including lower physical strength standards, health issues related to their physiology, and higher rates of sexual harassment and assault. Integration of women also introduces challenges with pregnancy, childcare, and maintaining unit cohesion and morale.

The recent debate about the entry of women officers in the armed forces has been highly ill- informed and subjective in nature. People have taken stands and expressed opinion without analysing the matter in its entirety. It is imprudent to consider it as an issue of equality of sexes or gender bias or even women’s liberation. It is also not a question of conquering the so-called ‘last male bastion’.

2. Briefly explain how these functions are carried out
3. Discuss the significance of dead space
4. Differentiate between minute ventilation and alveolar ventilation
5. Describe the cough and sneeze reflexes
Study Resources:
1. Chapter 39, Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology, 14th edition
2. Chapter 34, Ganong’s Review of Medical Physiology, 26th edition

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
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
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.

3. The face of the
military is changing.
More and more
women join different
branches of the
military and they
currently costitute 16
percent of the
military.
9. Countries who allow women to
serve in combat include:
Australia Israel
Canada Italy
Denmark New Zealand
Finland Norway
France Sweden
Germany Switzerland
10. Greece
India
the United Kingdom
and the United States
allow women to serve in Artillery roles.
11. Women serving in the military face
unique personal and professional
challenges that their male
counterparts don’t:
12. 1. Physical Fitness
Women, on the average, have
only 60 percent of the
physical strength of men.
They are shorter and smaller
than men, with 25-30% less
aerobic capacity, which is
essential for endurance.
The female skeletal system is
less dense, and more prone
to breakages.
13. Problem
Women are not permitted into certain arenas of
battle. Though there are periods in history
where women have entered combat (Joan of
Arc, during the Civil War, the World War II).
Women are looked as too physically weak to
withstand the challenges of combat and society
considers it unacceptable for a woman to be
killed or imprisoned and that military should
remain a “male business”.
14. Israel ’ s military
Israel is the only
country in the world
to conscript women
and assign some of
them to infantry
combatant service
which places them
directly in the line of
enemy fire.
15. 2. Health
Women’s physiology is different than men’s
and it has a serious impact
on their performance as soldiers.
16. Health
Gender-Specific Needs:
1. The period, which requires more hygienic
conditions than usual.
2. The demand of feminine hygiene products or
gender-specific prescription.
3. Hormones can have influence on woman’s
mood (stress) and sometimes on the ability to
make credible decisions.
17. Health
Mental Health Issues:
Women who have been exposed to war zones may
develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a
condition characterized by anxiety, depression, panic
attacks, anger, nightmares, and more.
The effects of sexual trauma (including harassment,
assault, rape or other violent acts) can include
depression, substance abuse, suicidal and intrusive
thoughts. 13 to 30% of women serving in the military
have experienced a form of such trauma.
18. Health
Reproductive and Sexual Health:
Women have sexual health and
reproductive needs that can be more
complicated and sensitive than men's.
19. No doubt, that men will turn
their heads when a female
soldier walks by. Of course,
branches of the military have
extremely strict policies and
disciplinary codes.
If you put males and females
together in the closed area,
far from home, for a long
period of time one can’t
expect them not having sex.
This is a big problem because
sexual relations have a
serious impact on morale and
relations between soldiers.
20. 3. Sexual harassment
Another side of sex
problem is sexual
harassment. It
happens very often.
Females will always
be seen by males as
sexual objects,
regardless of them
wearing uniform or
not.
21. It’s shocking investigation into widespread sexual assault in the U.S.
military as an urgent call to action.
The film’s intention is not to tarnish the U.S. military or to reveal another
psychological scar on its servicemen, and the director is careful to avoid
directly linking the pervasive sexual misconduct to soldiers involved in the
Iraq or Afghanistan conflicts. The purpose is simply to shed light on a
horrifying situation and bring an end to the military authority’s inaction.
22. Pregnancy
The pregnancy rate is at
least 10% among
servicewomen. Another
5% have had their
babies and brought them
back to the post.
Pregnant female
members may request a
discharge, but such
discharges are no longer
automatic.
23. Problem
1. The military health care system faces
difficulty for women delivering services
suited to their needs.
2. Women may not report sexual trauma cases
in fear of being held back in their careers,
retribution from fellow soldiers or
embarrasment.
24. 4. ROLE
The women’s roles in the military do not
differ significantly from those of male
members, aside from a few rules that
have been instituted regarding their
ability to participate in heavy combat
situations.
25. All women in the
military must learn to
merge their two
identities: woman
and soldier.
Sometimes they can
lead certain male
troops as officers
26. Problem
1. Female troops suffer a much higher
divorce rate than do the military men.
2. The most important reason for leaving
the military before retirement is the
amount of time separated from family
(the pull between family and career).
3. Women are forced to leave their
children and spouse.
27. 5. Career Advancement
Career progression is
often slower for women
than for their male
counterparts and they
are underrepresented in
the military’s senior
ranks.
Many servicewomen
said they believed they
had to work harder to
receive the same level of
recognition servicemen
received.
28. In 2011 Marcia
Andersen became the
first African-American
woman in the US army
promoted to Major
General (a high-ranking
officer).
29. 6. Cultural and Ethnic
Discrimination
Women in the military are
more likely to be of a
minority racial or ethnic
background than their male
counterparts.
20% of women in service are
black, while 7% are Hispanic
and 2% are Asian.
Besides having to battle
sexism, these minority
servicewomen may find
themselves battling racial
stereotypes and cultural
discrimination as well.
