The document discusses poverty levels and statistics in the Philippines. It states that in 2009, a family of five needed PhP 4,869 monthly to meet food needs and PhP 7,017 to stay out of poverty. 20% of children between 5-16 do not attend school and 4 Filipino children under 5 die every 30 minutes due to poverty. The regions of VII, V, and VI have the highest number of poor families, with Cebu in Region VII and Cebu and Negros Occidental provinces having the largest shares.

Title: Sense of Taste
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 structure and function of taste buds.
Describe the relationship between the taste threshold and taste index of common substances.
Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:

Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

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

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.

Editor's Notes
Meet Thommy and Freckles. Both have died since their story was published in 2006. One was drug related and the other child died when hit by a car. They too had dreams. They dreamed up growing up, opening street vending business and living honorable lives.
Dennis and Marwin, 15 years of age just began a two-year Bible Study training course. This semester they are taking: Personal Evangelism,1, Courtship, Marriage, and the Christian Home, English 1, Personal Hygiene, Methods and Principles of Teaching 1, Doctrine of Scripture, Choir & Voice, Doctrine f Salvation, Perhaps they will be the first of many preachers, evangelists and, teachers that come from our orphanage.
There were 400 in attendance. Applying simple math, 40 of these children come from families where their basic needs aren’t even met. Look around te congregation for us, that would mean may 25 of us would have lack sufficient funds for our basic needs.
But then, what are we to do?
As we bring good news of a good and sovereign God, there is great hope!
Ahh! So the poor have hope and injustice shuts her mouth. We can retort that poverty is a product of great corruption and injustice. And, it is. But God’s word speaks of a hope… it speaks of a future. For good and not unto destruction.
Let the children come unto me
This brings us to Street Kids Philippine Missions. Meet our kids. They currently live on the 5 th floor of a commercial building. Most have been at the orphanage 4 years. When the church first brought then in, they were dirty and half naked.
Jesus call children unto himself and He promises that the poor have hope that the mouths of injustice would be shut.
Jr. and Jako first came to the orphanage 4 years ago as did Marwin,age15. Each of their backgrounds are tragic. Today, they are doing well in school. They love the Lord, read their Bibles daily and do well in school.
Let us apply the numbers to our own families. Our families have a great heritage in Christ. At times, our aspirations reach the starts.
Though their accommodations are bare bones, the children are thankful that they have somewhere they can call home. A place where there is structure, respect and safety. A place where God is glorified and the gospel spread.
Again, seeds are being planted.
If we thus serve God, and do good with what we have, it is promised that the Lord our God will bless us in all the works of our land. Please visit our website at www.streetkidspm.
