Yoga has enormous potential to help expectant mothers prepare themselves physically, mentally, emotionally for this grand experience that can be a very spiritual one for so many. Yoga as a way of life focuses on right living and right thinking while utilizing various tools for the overall psycho-physiological health of the mother and child. Yogic diet with a stress on natural life-giving foods and adequate hydration helps the mother nurture the child growing within herself and fortify herself for the challenging events to come. A balanced lacto- vegetarian diet rich in calcium, iron and other essential vitamins and minerals is advocated with training in the preparation of soups, salads and sprouts. Foods of the Sattwic nature elevate the mother’s consciousness thus helping to create an uplifting psycho-mental-spiritual inner environment developing the inherent potential of the child in a wonderful manner. Preliminary evidence from various scientific studies supports Yoga's potential efficacy, particularly if started early in the pregnancy.

Creating a Conscious Humanity: The Yogic Way
“It is rarest of rare to be born a compassionate and disciplined human” said the great Tamil Saint Avvai. The spiritual quality of such a human incarnation is further enhanced when we are given the chance to create a future offspring in a truly conscious manner. No conception is an accident in the Universal scheme of things and hence we as parents are bound by our responsibility to be as conscious as possible of all the positive factors influencing the creation, birthand nurturing of a new living being. When we truly ‘care’, we become ‘careful’ and when this is done with love, we enable the Divinity of each Athma to manifest through us in the best possible manner.
Yoga is the art and science of conscious, mindful and common sense living. It has enormous potential to help expectant parents prepare themselves physically, mentally, emotionally for this grand experience that should be a very spiritual one too. Yoga as a way of life focuses on right living and right thinking while utilizing various tools for the overall psycho-physiological health of the parent and child.
The various pratices such as the Jathis, Kriyas and Asanas help promote healthy functioning of all body systems while Pranayama induces psycho-somatic harmony with a Pranicenergisation of every cell of the body. Various Mudras and Bandhas such as Aswini Mudra, Yoni Mudra and MoolaBandhabalance ApanaVayu and tone up the pelvic musculature while inducing a sense of inner wellbeing. Various concentrative and contemplative practices (Dharana and Dhyana) enable an inner peace with the development of a deep sense of self-understanding. Yogic relaxation practices facilitate a balanced and relaxed anabolic inner environment that promotes the healthy growth and development of the baby with the facilitation of healing at all levels of being.
Yogic diet with a stress on natural life-giving (Satvic) foodsand adequate hydration helps the mother nurture the child growing within herself and fortify herself for the challenging events to come. A balanced lacto-vegetarian diet rich in calcium, iron and other essential vitamins and minerals is advocated with training in the preparation of soups, salads and sprouts. Foods of the Sattwic nature elevate the mother’s consciousness thus helping to create an uplifting psycho-mental-spiritual inner environment developing the inherent potential of the child in a wonderful manner.
The role of the father in the whole process must never be underestimated and his involvement in both the practical Yoga sessions as well as in the adoption of a Yogic diet with positive attitudes is vital for the success of the programme. Yoga can help the family top bond together and such a bond is a boon to the entire social unit that is based on healthy inter-personal relationships.

Alternative medicine exists in all cultures to some degree and terms such as traditional medicine, indigenous medicine or folk medicine etc. are used to describe such practices. These medicines date back hundred or even thousands of years depending on the country and culture concerned. There are more than 100 systems of alternative medicines still in practice all over the world. Every country, region or area has its own traditional system of health and medical cares such as for the Chinese it is acupuncture, for the French, magnetic healing; for the Germans, Heilpraxis; for the English, Herbalism; for India, Ayurveda with Siddha being widely practice in the southern part of the country; for Japan, Shiatsu etc. The most popular forms of alternative medicine are ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy, yoga, acupuncture, acupressure, magneto therapy, shiatsu, herbalism, meditation, aromatherapy, Bach Flower Remedies, chromo therapy, diet therapy, hydropathy and reiki. Alternative medicine can help during pregnancy and labour where western medicine might pose a risk to the unborn child (such as certain medications in conditions such as headache). It’s also much more gentle and non-invasive, and addresses many of the emotional issues western medicine generally ignores.

Thanks to the recent advances in medical technology and better nutrition, people are living longer than ever
The aging process depends on a combination of both genetic and environmental factors.
A healthy lifestyle is an especially important factor in healthy aging and longevity.
Though the process of aging is irreversible and inevitable, the ability to learn and adjust is with us throughout our life.
Gitananda Yoga tradition promotes the adoption of a healthy diet, positive habits & regular exercise along with avoidance of negative habits thus helping ‘Silver Citizens’ retain their mental ability & prevent degenerative disorders.
So many of our great Yogis even in modern times have shown us that its is possible to grow old without losing any physical or mental faculties of youth.
Pain relief in labor is complex and often challenging.
Effective management of labor pain plays a relatively major role in a woman's satisfaction with childbirth.
Labor contractions usually cause discomfort or a dull ache in the back and lower abdomen, along with pressure in the pelvis.
Contractions move in a wave-like motion from the top of the uterus to the bottom.
Some women describe contractions as strong menstrual cramps.
support measure during childbirth
Reduction of fear and anxiety by providing information and support.
Facilitation of appropriate rest, sleep and for ambulation.
Provision of a labor companion.

Pain management during labor and delivery
that ensures the safest possible pregnancy, childbirth, and recovery.

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
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.

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!

MATERNAL-CHILD HEALTH
Preliminary evidence
supports
Yoga's potential efficacy,
particularly if started
early in the pregnancy.

reported significant reductions in physical
pain while women in 3rd trimester showed
greater reductions in perceived stress
and trait anxiety. (Beddoe AE et al.
2009).
• Women who took part in Yoga reported
significantly fewer pregnancy discomforts
at 38-40 weeks of gestation. They also
exhibited higher outcome and selfefficacy expectancies during active stage
of labour and 2nd stage of labour. (Sun YC
et al. 2009)
6. • Reduced perceived stress and improved
adaptive autonomic response to stress in
pregnant women (Satyapriya M et al. 2009)

pregnancy-related back and leg pain and
nausea and for reducing depression +
cortisol levels and associated prematurity
rate. Research shows that alternative
therapies reduce labour pain and thereby
the need for medication (Field T. 2008)
7. • Occurrence of complications of pregnancy
such as PIH, IUGR and pre-term delivery
showed lower trends in Yoga group An
integrated approach to Yoga during

associated with PIH, with no increased
complications (Narendran S et al. 2005)
• Yoga information during pregnancy results
in reduction in pregnancy discomforts with
an improved childbirth self-efficacy. (Sun
YC et al. 2009)

that explains the systematic growth of the
embryo in the womb in the 2nd chapter
• 3rd chapter of Sushruta Samhita explains
– factors that determine the gender of the fetus
– prohibited conducts during gestation
– development of the fetus in detail
– how the embryo feels pain in the same part of
its body as the one in which the mother feels
9. Thirumoolar in Thirumandiram (480) says,
“Paigindra vayuk kuraiyir kuralaagum
Paigindra vayu villaikkin mudamaagum
Paigindra vayu naduppadir koonaagum
Paigindra vayuma tharkkillaip paarkkile”
Birth Imperfections Explained as
When after intercourse,
the man is short of breath, infant is born a dwarf;
when breath blows feeble, defective limbs occur;
when breath halts mid-act, a hunch-back is born;
All these apply not, to the woman’s rhythm.
10. Maadha udharam malamigil mandanaam
Maadha udharam jalamigil moongaiyaam
Maadha udharam irandokkil kannillai
Maadha udharatthil vanda kuzhavikke
(Thirumandiram 481)
How Deaf, Dumb, and Blind are Born:
When at the time of union, the mother’s bowels
are heavy, a dullard will be born;
if urine exceeds, a dumb child will be born;
if both exceed, a blind child will be born;
thus is it for the infant born according to the
mother’s condition.
