While technology provides benefits like easy communication and access to information, it can negatively impact relationships if not used properly. Surveys show people spend significant time on technology each day and it is linked to deteriorating family bonds, decreased social skills, and increased deception. To mitigate these effects, it is important to limit media time and only use technology when truly needed.124

Cyberbullying involves the use of electronic communication technologies such as phones and social media to bully others. Examples include mean texts, emails, rumors spread online or through social media, and embarrassing photos or videos. Kids who experience cyberbullying are more likely to use drugs and alcohol, skip school, experience other bullying, have lower self-esteem, and have greater health issues. Cyberbullying can occur 24/7 since electronic messages can be sent anytime and are often anonymous, which makes the bullying hard to stop. While technology is not the root cause, cyberbullying can still negatively impact victims.Internet privacy

Oversharing personal information on social media can lead to addiction due to activating the brain's reward system. While people were once hesitant to share details online, it has now become commonplace. However, oversharing location data and other information can enable unintended consequences like stalking if the information falls into the wrong hands. Ubiquitous social media and data retention laws mean personal information is permanently visible, creating new forms of surveillance. Recent studies have begun examining social media addiction and the security implications of oversharing online.Ict maria h

The document discusses the impacts of information and communication technology (ICT) on individuals, organizations, and education. ICT refers to digital technologies that store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate information electronically. For individuals, ICT provides increased access to information but can also result in job loss, reduced personal interaction, and decreased physical activity. Organizations benefit from improved communication, information management, and security through ICT, but also face costs, competition, and security issues. In education, ICT enables distance learning and simulations, but risks disadvantaging poorer students and focusing more on the technology than the subject content.Why Social Media?

Anatomy of the Larynx
Larynx is a cartilaginous structure located in the **anterior neck** at the level of **C3C6 vertebrae**.
* Also called the **voice box**responsible for **phonation**, **airway protection**, and **breathing regulation**.
**Cartilages of the Larynx**
**Unpaired Cartilages:**
1. **Thyroid cartilage**:
* Largest cartilage; forms the **Adams apple (laryngeal prominence)**.
* Composed of two laminae that fuse anteriorly.
2. **Cricoid cartilage**:
* Ring-shaped; **only complete ring** around the airway.
* Located below thyroid cartilage; articulates with thyroid & arytenoid cartilages.
3. **Epiglottis**:
* Leaf-shaped elastic cartilage.
* Covers the laryngeal inlet during swallowing.
**Paired Cartilages:**
1. **Arytenoid**:
* Pyramid-shaped; sit on top of cricoid.
* Attach vocal cords and muscles.
2. **Corniculate**:
* Small cartilages sitting atop the arytenoids.
3. **Cuneiform**:
* Embedded in the aryepiglottic folds; provide structural support.
**Intrinsic Muscles of the Larynx**
> Responsible for controlling **vocal cord movement**.
| Muscle | Action | Nerve Supply |
| **Cricothyroid** | Tenses vocal cords | External laryngeal nerve |
| **Thyroarytenoid** | Relaxes vocal cords | Recurrent laryngeal nerve |
| **Posterior cricoarytenoid** | Abducts vocal cords (opens glottis) | Recurrent laryngeal nerve |
| **Lateral cricoarytenoid** | Adducts vocal cords | Recurrent laryngeal nerve |
| **Transverse & oblique arytenoids** | Closes the posterior glottis | Recurrent laryngeal nerve |
| **Vocalis** | Fine-tunes pitch | Recurrent laryngeal nerve | **Nerve Supply*
* **Motor**:
* All intrinsic muscles (except cricothyroid): **Recurrent laryngeal nerve** (branch of vagus nerve).
* Cricothyroid: **External branch of superior laryngeal nerve**.
* **Sensory**:
* Above vocal cords: **Internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve**.
* Below vocal cords: **Recurrent laryngeal nerve**.
**Blood Supply**

Open PPT for detail description: Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)
Peptic ulcer disease refers to mucosal erosions equal to or greater than 5 mm in the stomach or proximal duodenum, caused primarily by an imbalance between gastric acid/pepsin secretion and mucosal defense mechanisms. The most common etiologies include Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic use of NSAIDs, and physiological stress.
Classification of Peptic Ulcers
Based on Location
Gastric Ulcers Occur in the stomach lining.
Duodenal Ulcers Occur in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
Based on Etiology
H. pyloriAssociated Ulcers
NSAID-Induced Ulcers
Stress-Related Mucosal Disease (SRMD)
ZollingerEllison Syndrome (gastrinoma-related)
Cushings Ulcer (due to intracranial injury)
Curlings Ulcer (seen in burn patients)
Pharmacological Management
1. Acid Suppression Therapy
Class Examples Mechanism
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) Omeprazole, Pantoprazole Irreversibly inhibit H+/K+ ATPase pump
H2-Receptor Antagonists Ranitidine, Famotidine Block histamine-mediated gastric acid secretion
2. Mucosal Protective Agents
Class Examples Mechanism
Prostaglandin Analogues Misoprostol Increases mucus & bicarbonate; decreases acid; protects mucosa
Mucosal Coating Agents Sucralfate Forms protective barrier over ulcer site
Bismuth Compounds Bismuth subsalicylate Antimicrobial, mucosal protective, and anti-inflammatory
3. Eradication Therapy (for H. pylori)
Combination of:
PPI + Two Antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin + clarithromycin OR metronidazole + tetracycline)
Duration: 714 days depending on local guidelines
See BNF regimens above for detailed protocols
4. Cytoprotective/Adjunctive Agents
Class Examples Role in PUD
Somatostatin Analogues Octreotide Used in bleeding ulcers; reduces splanchnic blood flow and gastric secretions
Antacids Magnesium hydroxide, Aluminium hydroxide Neutralize gastric acid; provide symptomatic relief
Non-Pharmacologic Measures
Avoid NSAIDs, smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods
Small, frequent meals in symptomatic patients
Stress reduction
Endoscopic therapy in case of bleeding or perforation
Surgical Indications (rarely needed)
Perforated ulcer
Gastric outlet obstruction
Refractory ulcers not responding to medical therapy
Severe bleeding unresponsive to endoscopic management
Summary
Peptic ulcer disease is primarily driven by H. pylori infection and NSAID use, with duodenal ulcers more common than gastric. Treatment is tailored based on etiology and includes acid suppression, H. pylori eradication, and mucosal protection. Advanced cases may require somatostatin analogues for hemorrhage control or surgery for complications. Prostaglandin analogues like misoprostol are especially valuable in preventing NSAID-induced ulcers.HEALTH CARE PLANNING AND ORGANIZATION OF HEALTH CARE

On December 9, 2024, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) released the Standards of Care in Diabetes - 2025, which outlines evidence-based guidelines for diagnosing and managing diabetes and prediabetes. These guidelines, based on the latest scientific research and clinical trials, cover treatment approaches for both adults and children. They also address strategies to prevent or slow the progression of type 2 diabetes and related health conditions, including obesity.
The updated standards include care recommendations designed to improve health outcomes. The ADA revises these guidelines annually through its Professional Practice Committee (PPC), which consists of experts from various fields including physicians, nurse practitioners, certified diabetes care and education specialists, registered dietitian nutritionists, pharmacists, and methodologists.
The Standards of Care in Diabetes - 2025 is available online as a supplement to the January 2025 issue of Diabetes Care. A mobile application compatible with iOS and Android devices, it offers the latest guidelines, interactive tables, and algorithms for quick reference.
The ADA, a voluntary health organization, has focused on diabetes research and public health for 84 years. With 136 million Americans affected by diabetes or prediabetes, the organization continues to support education, program development, and advocacy efforts.Bias, Cofounding Bias, Matching , Blinding
