After this presentation, the reader should be able to describe features of papilledema with main causes and investigations needed in the work up and differentiate it from pseudopapilledema.
Systemic Diseases and the Eye
Various systemic diseases affect the eye and it's functioning. Here we present those common systemic diseases that are responsible to cause effects in the eye.
What are the diseases that affect eye?
Eye is affected by the following diseases:
Systemic Hypertension (Increased blood pressure of the body)
Diabetes Melitus (Increased blood sugar level)
Systemic Lupus Erythromatosus (SLE)
AIDS and other Venereal Diseases like Syphilis
Sickle Cell Anemia,
Eales Disease and many more.
Look at the slides.
Congenital Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of irreversible childhood blindness. This presentation covers this topic in detail that can aid physicians in effective patient care.
PS: The slides in the preview look skewed, download the presentation to view the font used in Office 2012 and upwards.
this presentation is about causes of acute visual loss which i made for my seminar during ophthalmology posting.Hope that people can had a benefit from this slide especially medical student.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
These simplified slides by Dr. Sidra Arshad present an overview of the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract.
Learning objectives:

2. Briefly explain how these functions are carried out
3. Discuss the significance of dead space
4. Differentiate between minute ventilation and alveolar ventilation
5. Describe the cough and sneeze reflexes
