Zika virus is a mosquito-borne virus that causes mild fever and rash. It was first discovered in Uganda in 1947 and recent outbreaks have occurred in the Americas. The virus is transmitted primarily through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. While most infections cause mild symptoms, infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly and other birth defects. There is no vaccine or treatment currently available, so prevention focuses on reducing mosquito habitat and exposure through clothing and repellents.
West Nile virus (WNV) is an infectious disease that first appeared in the United States in 1999. WNV is spread when mosquitos infected with the disease bite humans or animals. People who contract WNV usually have no symptoms or mild symptoms. Those with symptoms may have a fever, headache, body aches, skin rash or swollen lymph glands.
If West Nile virus enters the brain, it can be deadly. It may cause inflammation of the brain, called encephalitis, or inflammation of the tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, called meningitis.

Zika virus disease is a mosquito-borne viral infection that primarily occurs in tropical and subtropical areas of the world.
It is related to other pathogenic vector borne flaviviruses including dengue, West-Nile and Japanese encephalitis viruses but produces a comparatively mild disease in humans
Genre: Flavivirus
Vector: Aedes mosquitoes (which usually bite during the morning and late afternoon/evening hours)
Reservoir: mosquitoes (gut, blood, saliva )
human ( blood, prostate, semen and testes )
West Nile fever is an infection by the West Nile virus, which is typically spread by mosquitoes. It causes disease in humans, horses, and several species of birds

Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in monkeys. It was later identified in humans in 1952 in Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania.The incubation period (the time from exposure to symptoms) of Zika virus disease is estimated to be 3–14 days. The majority of people infected with Zika virus do not develop symptoms. Symptoms are generally mild including fever, rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise, and headache, and usually last for 2–7 days.
This is a PowerPoint on the Marburg virus, which is a disease similar to Ebola. I very briefly talk about what the disease is, some of the key facts about the structure and death rate, some outbreak history, prevention and treatment and the social-economical impacts that have been caused.
Dengue (pronounced DENG-gay) can affect anyone but tends to be more severe in people with compromised immune systems. Because it is caused by one of four serotypes of virus, it is possible to get dengue fever multiple times. However, an attack of dengue produces immunity for a lifetime to that particular serotype to which the patient was exposed.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

2. ZIKA
Zika virus infection is a mild febrile viral illness transmitted by mosquitoes. The Zika virus
is a member of the Flavivirus genus in the family Flaviviridae.
It is related to dengue, yellow fever, West Nile and Japanese encephalitis, viruses that are
also members of the virus family Flaviviridae..
It was discovered in the Zika forest in Uganda in 1947.
The Zika virus' incubation period is about 3 to 12 days after the bite of an infected
mosquito.
The vast majority of infections are not contagious from person to person.
3. Zika virus Epidemiology
The very first known case of Zika fever was in a rhesus monkey in the Zika Forest in
Uganda in 1947.
The first human cases were reported in Nigeria in 1954. A few outbreaks have been
reported in tropical Africa and in some areas in Southeast Asia.
The first major outbreak, with 185 confirmed cases, was reported in 2007 in the Yap
Islands of the Federated States of Micronesia.
In 2013 another large outbreak was reported in French Polynesia that was thought to be
from an independent introduction of the virus from Asia than the Yap Island outbreak.
In May 2015, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) issued an alert regarding the
first confirmed Zika virus infections in Brazil. Mosquito-borne Zika virus is suspected to
be the cause of 2,400 cases of microcephaly and 29 infant deaths in Brazil in 2015.
4. The emergence of Zika virus in South America led to a rapid spread throughout South and
Central America, reaching Mexico in November 2015.
It has appeared sporadically in travellers to the United States and Europe.
Because of the "growing evidence of a link between Zika and microcephaly" the CDC
issued a travel alert on January 15, 2016 advising pregnant women to consider
postponing travel to the following countries and territories: Brazil, Colombia, El
Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Panama,
Paraguay, Suriname, Venezuela, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
The agency also suggested that women thinking about becoming pregnant should consult
with their physicians before traveling.
5. Transmission of zika virus
Through mosquito bites:
Zika virus is transmitted to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species
mosquito (A. aegypti and A. albopictus).
These mosquitoes typically lay eggs in and near standing water in things like buckets, bowls,
animal dishes, flower pots and vases. They prefer to bite people, and live indoors and outdoors
near people.
Mosquitoes that spread chikungunya, dengue, and Zika are aggressive daytime biters. They can
also bite at night.
Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on a person already infected with the virus. Infected
mosquitoes can then spread the virus to other people through bites.
6. From mother to child:
A mother already infected with Zika virus near the time of delivery can pass on the virus to
her newborn around the time of birth.
It is possible that Zika virus could be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy.
To date, there are no reports of infants getting Zika virus through breastfeeding. Because
of the benefits of breastfeeding, mothers are encouraged to breastfeed even in areas where
Zika virus is found.
7. Through sexual contact:
Zika virus is transmitted to the people through sexual activity.
Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) has received confirmation from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the first Zika virus case acquired
through sexual transmission in Dallas County in 2016.
The patient was infected with the virus after having sexual contact with an ill individual
who returned from Venezuela,a country where Zika virus is present.
8. Symptoms of Zika virus
Low-grade fever (between 37.8°C and 38.5°C)
Arthralgia, notably of small joints of hands and feet, with possible swollen joints
Myalgia
Headache, retro-ocular headaches
Conjunctivitis
Cutaneous maculopapular rash
Post-infection asthenia which seems to be frequent.
More rarely observed symptoms include
Digestive problems
Abdominal pain
Diarrhea
Constipation mucous membrane
Ulcerations
Pruritus
9. Risk of Zika during pregnency
According to pediatric neurologists in Brazil that some pregnant women infected by zika
virus have given birth to the babies with a birth defect called microcephaly.
Microcephaly, which comes from the Greek words for small head is a broad term used to
describe a smaller-than-average head circumference in babies (at least two standard
deviations below the mean for his or her sex and age). It can be caused by a wide range of
things, from diseases to malnutrition.
Because of the potential for birth defects, the CDC(Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention) issued travel guidance for pregnant American women and women of
childbearing age who may become pregnant, warning them to avoid visiting places where
the virus is currently circulating.
10. Diagnosis
IgM, IgG and PCR for Zika virus.
acute serum (taken within 5 days of symptom onset) and convalescent serum (2–3 weeks
later) should be taken. The two samples are important to rule out false positive tests due to
cross reactivity with similar viruses such as Dengue.
Provide overseas travel details and clinical history including the onset day and patient’s
DHB. Onset date is extremely important to ensure that the most appropriate test is
performed.
The local laboratory will forward samples to ESR who will arrange testing at an Australian
Arbovirus Reference Laboratory (no labs in NZ currently test for Zika virus).
11. Precaution & prevention
Prevention involves reducing mosquito populations and avoiding bites, which occur
mainly during the day. Eliminating and controlling Aedes aegypti mosquito breeding
sites reduces the chances that Zika will be transmitted. An integrated response is
required, involving action in several areas, including health, education, and the
environment.
To eliminate and control the mosquito, it is recommended to:
Avoid allowing standing water in outdoor containers (flower pots, bottles, and
containers that collect water) so that they do not become mosquito breeding sites.
Cover domestic water tanks so that mosquitoes cannot get in.
Avoid accumulating garbage: Put it in closed plastic bags and keep it in closed
containers.
Unblock drains that could accumulate standing water.
12. Use screens and mosquito nets in windows and doors to reduce contact between
mosquitoes and people
To prevent mosquito bites, it is recommended that people who live in areas where there are
cases of the disease, as well as travelers and, especially, pregnant women should:
Cover exposed skin with long-sleeved shirts, trousers, and hats
Use repellents recommended by the health authorities (and apply them as indicated on the
label)
Sleep under mosquito nets.
People with symptoms of Zika, dengue, or chikungunya should visit a health center.
13. Treatment
There is no commercial vaccine or specific antiviral drug treatment for Zika virus
infection.
Treatment is directed primarily at relieving symptoms using anti-pyretics and analgesics.
