Pulmonary arterial hypertension in congenital heart disease Ramachandra Barik
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an increase of blood pressure in the pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, or pulmonary capillaries, together known as the lung vasculature, leading to shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, leg swelling and other symptoms. Pulmonary hypertension can be a severe disease with a markedly decreased exercise tolerance and heart failure. It was first identified by Ernst von Romberg in 1891. According to the most recent classification, it can be one of five different types: arterial, venous, hypoxic, thromboembolic or miscellaneous.

DIAGNOSIS & MANAGEMENT OF PULMONARY HYPERTENSIONKamal Bharathi
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥25 mm Hg at rest, measured during right heart catheterization. There is still insufficient evidence to add an exercise criterion to this definition. The term pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) describes a subpopulation of patients with PH characterized hemodynamically by the presence of pre-capillary PH including an end-expiratory pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤15 mm Hg and a pulmonary vascular resistance >3 Wood units. Right heart catheterization remains essential for a diagnosis of PH or PAH. This procedure requires further standardization, including uniformity of the pressure transducer zero level at the midthoracic line, which is at the level of the left atrium. One of the most common problems in the diagnostic workup of patients with PH is the distinction between PAH and PH due to left heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). A normal PAWP does not rule out the presence of HFpEF. Volume or exercise challenge during right heart catheterization may be useful to unmask the presence of left heart disease, but both tools require further evaluation before their use in general practice can be recommended. Early diagnosis of PAH remains difficult, and screening programs in asymptomatic patients are feasible only in high-risk populations, particularly in patients with systemic sclerosis, for whom recent data suggest that a combination of clinical assessment and pulmonary function testing including diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide, biomarkers, and echocardiography has a higher predictive value than echocardiography alone.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening severe orphan disease in which the air sacs present in alveoli are filled with fluid and lower the amount of oxygen in the blood. Thus, enough oxygen is not supplied to the body. Inflammation may occur throughout the lungs.

Necrotizing Fasciitis Case Study
Teri Billings, William Claytor, Krista Gagnon
Introduction
C. S. is a 33-year-old, married, African American male who presented to the ED for progressively worsening body aches, abdominal pain, and swelling and draining in the peri-rectal and perineal area. Patient stated he “developed a pimple on his buttocks a week ago and it broke open today”. Patient also stated his “weakness and pain have been worsening over the past week”.
The only medical history consisted of hypertension and insulin dependent diabetes diagnosed four years ago, but patient reports he has not been taking insulin for at least one week. Patient is employed full-time and denies any family medical history, allergies, or alcohol, tobacco, or drug use. Patient was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and peri-rectal abscess. Upon medical workup, patient was found to have necrotizing fasciitis / Fournier’s gangrene, so both infectious diseases and general surgeon were consulted.
Question 1: Explain the pathophysiology of necrotizing fasciitis? Give details about the cells involved and the process of inflammation. (4 points)
Question 2: Why is diabetes in the patient’s history a risk factor for necrotizing fasciitis, and how does diabetes compound the problem? (3 points)
Question 3: What i ...

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Deliver O2 to the tissues
Maintain the pH of the body
Shortness of breath will be felt if you interrupt any of
these functions

8. Main Causes of Dyspnea
1. Respiratory
2. Cardiac
3. Blood
4. Metabolic Acidosis
8
22. MEDICAL HISTORY
Use a systematic approach to address possible
respiratory problems, cardiac problems, blood
problems, and consider whether there is any concern
about metabolic acidosis.
Start with the airway and work through all the systems
needed for O2 delivery
22
23. MEDICAL HISTORY
Ask about sudden or gradual onset
Ask what makes it worse and what makes it better
Ask about fever
Ask about chest pain
Ask about cough
23
24. PHYSICAL EXAM
Again, use a systematic approach.
How do they look? Do they need immediate
interventions before the H&P
Start with the lips and oropharynx (swelling, masses)
Examine neck (JVD, swelling or masses, stridor)
Examine lungs (work of breathing, air movement,
breath sounds, symmetry, cough)
Examine the heart and peripheral pulses
Examine blood related problems (pale conjunctiva, any
source of bleeding, consider stool hemacult)
24
25. INITIAL STABILIZATION
AND MONITORING
This may be the first thing to address prior to the H&P
Minimal
O2 by nasal cannula
Sit the patient up
Start IV
Put the patient on a monitor
Maximal
100% nonrebreather mask
BIPAP
Intubate the patient
25
26. ASSESSMENT
Chest X-ray
ECG
Also consider:
White Blood Count
Hemoglobin/Hematocrit
Renal Function
Liver Function
Cardiac Enzymes
Arterial Blood Gas
BNP
D-dimer

27. ULTRASOUND EXAM OF THE
SEVERELY DYSPNEIC PATIENT
There are many different protocols out there:
• BLUE Protocol (Chest 2008) by Lichtenstein and
Meziere
• ETUDES Protocol (Academic EM 2009) by Liteplo
and Marill
• RADiUS Protocol (Ultrasound Clinics 2011) by
Manson and Hafez
27
28. ULTRASOUND EXAM OF THE
SEVERELY DYSPNEIC PATIENT
Common features of most dyspnea US protocols:
1. Cardiac: pericardial effusion, look at contractility
2. Pulmonary: pneumothorax, pleural effusion,
consolidation, COPD vs CHF
3. Inferior Vena Cava: look for IVC distention and
collapsibility
Some protocols look for DVT in both legs

29. Case 1
24 year old female with a history of asthma presents with
shortness of breath for 2 hours and wheezing
Afebrile, BP 112/62, P 122, RR 28, O2 saturation 92% on
room air
Alert, tachypnea, good air movement with bilateral
expiratory wheezing
29
30. Case 1
She was given nebulizer treatments and steroids with
only mild improvement. The next day a medical student
interviewing the patient learned that she had a family
history of pulmonary emboli. A chest CT showed
multiple pulmonary emboli. Further testing revealed
that she had Protein C deficiency.
Diagnoses: Pulmonary Emboli
Hypercoagulable State secondary to
Protein C deficiency
30
31. Case 2
75 year old diabetic male with shortness of breath for 4
days. Has history of COPD and CHF. No fever or chest
pain. Worse lying down or with exertion. Improved
sitting up. Dry cough.
T 38, BP 158/92, P 92, RR 18, O2 saturation on room air
89%
Alert, irregular pulse, good air movement with crackles
at the left base
31
32. Case 2
WBC 12,000
CXR shows LLL infiltrate
ECG shows new onset atrial fibrillation
Troponin was elevated
Diagnoses: Pneumonia
New Onset Atrial Fibrillation
Non-ST elevation Myocardial Infarction
32
33. Case 3
32 year old female with no past medical history reports
gradual onset of mild shortness of breath for 2 days. No
fever, cough, chest pain.
Afebrile, BP 118/58, P 84, RR 26, O2 saturation on room
air 100%
Alert, no respiratory distress, normal lung and heart
sounds
33
34. Case 3
The patient had a normal CXR and ECG. Her anion gap was
18. ABG revealed a pH of 7.28, pCO2 26, pO2 110 on room air.
Blood glucose was normal. Urine and serum acetone was
positive. After further questioning, patient reveals that she is
trying to loose weight and has only had water for the past 48
hours. Patient eats in the ED and receives IVF. Four hours
later her tachypnea, shortness of breath, and acidosis have
resolved. She is discharged to home.
Diagnosis: Ketoacidosis secondary to starvation

35. Key Points
Use a systematic approach when evaluating the dyspneic
patient or you will miss something
The systematic approach in the pediatric patient is the
same. The differential diagnoses are slightly different and
respiratory problems predominate.
Consider more than one diagnosis, especially in older
patients
Consider that prior diagnoses may be wrong
Be aggressive in early airway management. It is easier to
deal with airway issues earlier, rather than wait for things to
worsen and doing crash airway management during a code.
