Cor pulmonare algorithm
Cor pulmonale, also known as pulmonary heart disease, is a type of heart disease where the right side of the heart enlarges and fails over time due to high blood pressure in the lungs or pulmonary hypertension. It is usually caused by lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that result in low oxygen levels and resistance within the pulmonary arteries of the lungs. The enlarged right ventricle must work harder to pump blood into the lungs, causing it to thicken and eventually fail if left untreated.
Peptic ulcer
Peptic ulcers develop in the lining of the stomach or small intestine. Common causes are infection by H. pylori bacteria and use of pain medications like ibuprofen. Symptoms include stomach pain that is worse when the stomach is empty. Diagnosis involves tests to detect H. pylori infection and endoscopy to view the digestive tract. Treatment eliminates the bacteria with antibiotics if present, reduces acid production, and promotes healing with proton pump inhibitors or acid blockers. Preventive measures include careful use of pain medications and protecting against infections.

While most infected people never show symptoms, potential symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Diagnosis involves tests of the blood, breath, or stool to detect H. pylori. Treatment consists of antibiotics along with medication to reduce stomach acid in order to kill the bacteria and allow the stomach lining to heal.
Gerd
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid returns up into the esophagus and causes irritation. It is common for people to experience acid reflux occasionally, but GERD is when it occurs at least twice a week or more severely once a week. Risk factors include obesity, pregnancy, smoking, and certain medications. Symptoms include heartburn, nausea, coughing, and sore throat. Diagnosis is usually based on symptoms, but tests like endoscopy or pH monitoring can be done. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like losing weight, avoiding foods and drinks that trigger symptoms, and medications to reduce acid production. Surgery may be an option for severe cases that do not improve with other treatments.
Gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines that is usually caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites. Common symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. While generally self-limiting, gastroenteritis can cause dehydration, which is more common and dangerous in infants and young children.

Common causes include low-fiber diets, lack of physical activity, certain medications, and ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement. Diagnosis involves physical exams, blood tests, and imaging tests of the colon and rectum. Treatment begins with lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake and exercise. If those don't help, doctors may prescribe laxatives, stool softeners, or suppositories to relieve constipation symptoms.
Sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder where breathing stops and starts repeatedly during sleep. There are three main types - obstructive, central, and complex. Risk factors include being overweight, having a narrow throat, and certain facial structures. Symptoms include loud snoring, waking with shortness of breath, and daytime sleepiness. Diagnosis involves a physical exam and polysomnogram sleep test. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, CPAP devices, dental devices, and sometimes surgery. Losing weight and avoiding alcohol can help prevent sleep apnea.
Pulmonary tuberculosis
1. Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which usually affects the lungs. It spreads through the air when people who are sick with TB cough, sneeze or speak.
2. Symptoms include a persistent cough lasting more than two weeks, coughing up blood, weight loss, fever, night sweats and fatigue. Diagnosis involves physical exams, chest x-rays, sputum tests and tuberculosis skin tests.
3. Treatment involves a multi-drug regimen administered by a tuberculosis specialist to prevent drug resistance. Patients are advised to rest at home and cover their mouth when coughing to prevent spreading the disease until treatment has reduced their contagious
Pulmonary tromboembolia
1. Pulmonary embolism is caused by a blood clot in the lung, usually formed in the deep veins of the lower limbs. It is a leading cause of preventable death in hospitalized patients.
2. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, increased heart rate, coughing up blood, and fainting. Diagnosis involves assessing risk factors and test like D-dimer and CT scan.
3. Treatment involves anticoagulant drugs to dissolve clots initially by injection and then orally for 3-6 months. Prevention focuses on continuing anticoagulants, lifestyle changes like exercise and diet, wearing compression stockings, and early movement after surgery.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
