- Medical termination of pregnancy may be advised in early pregnancy for very high risk cases like pulmonary hypertension.
- Antenatal care involves careful monitoring, treatment compliance and
Pregnancy in women with heart disease carries increased risks for both mother and baby. The risks depend on the type and severity of the heart condition. Management involves careful prenatal monitoring and treatment to prevent worsening of cardiac function and complications. Delivery should take place in a hospital setting with cardiac and anesthesia specialists present. Close postpartum monitoring is also needed as the risk of heart failure is highest in the first 2 weeks after delivery.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in ccongenital heart diseasesMalleswara rao Dangeti
1. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure >25 mm Hg at rest or >30 mm Hg with exercise due to abnormalities in the pulmonary vasculature.
2. PAH can develop in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) such as ventricular septal defects due to persistent high pulmonary blood flow leading to vascular changes over time.
3. In advanced PAH associated with CHD, known as Eisenmenger syndrome, pulmonary vascular resistance rises to high levels, equalizing pressures in the pulmonary and systemic circulations and resulting in a reversed or bidirectional shunt.
1) Cardiac diseases complicate 1-2% of pregnancies but are a leading cause of maternal death, accounting for 20% of maternal mortality. The physiological changes in pregnancy like increased cardiac output and decreased vascular resistance pose additional challenges for women with heart conditions.
2) Evaluation of cardiac disease in pregnancy involves thorough history, physical exam, and investigations like ECG, echocardiogram, and cardiac MRI if needed. Symptoms of heart disease need to be distinguished from normal pregnancy symptoms.
3) Management involves careful monitoring throughout pregnancy and individualizing care based on the specific heart condition and functional status of the mother. This includes balancing rest with activity, preventing infections and decompensation, monitoring for signs of

This document summarizes a 41-year-old female patient who presented with shortness of breath. Physical examination and tests revealed an ejection fraction of 15% indicating severe systolic dysfunction. She was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, likely post-viral. Her medications were optimized and a follow up echo 3 months later showed improved ejection fraction to 37%. The document then reviews heart failure definitions, diagnostic criteria, evaluations, treatments including medications, diet and exercise. It stages heart failure and discusses prevention and management of the condition.
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital heart defect. It involves an abnormal opening in the wall separating the two lower chambers of the heart, allowing blood to pass between the ventricles. The size of the defect determines the severity of symptoms and appropriate treatment. Small, restrictive VSDs may require only monitoring while large defects cause volume overload and heart failure, warranting surgical closure. Management involves assessing shunt size and pulmonary pressures to determine if a patient would benefit from surgery or medical management.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
