The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Introduction
■ A complex clinical syndrome that results from any structural or functional impairment of
ventricular filling or ejection of blood
■ Heart fails to act as a pump
■ Manifested by cardinal symptoms
– Dyspnoea & fatigue exercise intolerance
– Fluid retention pulmonary oedema, splanchnic oedema, peripheral oedema
11. Classification
■ Acute vs Chronic
■ Systolic vs Diastolic dysfunction
■ Right sided vs Left sided
■ High output vs Low output
12. Systolic vs diastolic
Systolic Diastolic
Age All ages Frequently elderly
Sex Often male Frequently female
LV EF Decrease ( <50 ) Normal ( Preserved )
LV cavity size Dilate ( increase intracardiac
volume )
Normal ( often with LVH )
13. Current categorization
■ Heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) [SYSTOLIC]
■ Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) [DIASTOLIC]
22. General Physical Examination
■ Mild to moderate HF : No distress except when lying flat for more than a
few minutes
■ Severe HF: Must sit upright, labored breathing, unable to finish a
sentence
– Cardiac cachexia
– Cyanosis
– Edema
– Jaundice
29. Chest x-ray (upright)
– Pulmonary venous congestion
– Cardiomegaly (80%) or normal (20%)
– Interstitial edema
■ Most specific for a final diagnosis of acute heart failure but the absence
of these does not rule it out
30. ■ CardiomegalyCTR = 18/30 (>50%)
■ Upper zone vessel enlargement (1) – a sign of
pulmonary venous hypertension
■ Septal (Kerley B) lines (2) – a sign of interstitial
oedema – see next picture
■ Airspace shadowing (3) – due to alveolar
oedema – acutely in a peri-hilar (bat's wing)
distribution
■ Blunt costophrenic angles (4) – due to pleural
effusions
31.
32. Electrocardiogram
■ Not useful for diagnosis
– Early recognition of arrhythmias – atrial fibrillation
– Signs of ischaemia or injury
33. ■ Irregularly irregular rhythm.
■ No P waves.
■ Absence of an isoelectric baseline.
■ Variable ventricular rate.
■ QRS complexes usually < 120 ms
34. Routine
■ Complete blood count to evaluate anaemia
■ Basic metabolic panel
– Electrolytes
– Renal status
35. Cardiac biomarkers
■ It is done when cause of
dyspnoea is still unclear
after standard
evaluation
■ This test will detect
ongoing myocyte injury,
which may be clinically
silent
36. Bedside ultrasound
1. Determine cause of dyspnoea e.g. tamponade
2. Determine LV function and volume status
3. RWMA
4. Valvular abnormality
Focused on
1. Signs of pulmonary congestion
2. Sign of volume overload
3. LV ejection fraction
37. Signs of pulmonary congestion
■ Sonographic B-lines
– Dx – >2 B-lines in
any sonographic
windows along the
anterior and
posterior chest
38. Signs of volume overload
■ IVC >2 cm diameter
■ Collapsibility index <50%
– Indicates raised in central venous pressure
AHF : AMI, CHF : Dilated cardiomyopathy
SD : impairment of contractility, with stroke output reduced and forward flow compromised, DD : primary problem with ability of the ventricles to relax and fill normally
Cyanosis due to excessive adrenergic activity
Edema: B/L pedal. Presacral, scrotal in bedridden
Diminished PP due to reduced stroke volume
Cold extremities due to peripheral vasoconstriction
V waves -TR
Creps/rales – pulmo edmea
May pulsate during systole if TR is present
Ascites and jaundice are late signs
Increased pressure in the hepatic veins and the veins draining the peritoneum
Impairment of hepatic function secondary to hepatic congestion and hepatocellular hypoxemia -- Jaundice
If CXR and ECG are normal = decrease likelihood of heart failure
Airspace shadowing is due to alveolar oedema caused by fluid filling the alveoli and small airways
Bat's wing or butterfly pulmonary opacities refer to a pattern of bilateral perihilar shadowing
caused by thickening of the interlobular septa which separate the secondary lobules at the periphery of the lungs
Ashman’s Phenomenon
Anemia may be the cause of S.O.B or exacerbate it
B lines representing thickened inter-alveolar/interlobular septa
Collapse during respiration
highly correlated with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and are specific for acute heart failure
Measurement of IVC diameter in different phases of respiration differentiates normal subjects from patients with elevated right atrial pressure, cyclic variations in pleural pressure, which are transmitted to the right atrium, produce cyclic variations in venous return, which is increased by inspiration, leading to an inspiratory reduction of about 50% in IVC diameter
