Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a life-threatening condition characterized by widespread bleeding from the pulmonary microcirculation. It can be caused by capillaritis due to conditions like Wegener's granulomatosis or idiopathic. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, chest imaging, hematological and urine tests, and bronchoscopy with BAL. Treatment focuses on controlling bleeding with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and supportive care. DAH requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to reduce high morbidity and mortality risks.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

DIFFUSE ALVEOLAR HEMORRAHGE (DAH)
ETIOLOGY OF DAH
PATHOLOGY OF DAH
DIAGNOSIS AND EVALUATION
TREATMENT
SOME SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
SUMMARY
3. INTRODUCTION
Bleeding from the lung originates from the
bronchial vessels, the pulmonary vessels, or the
microcirculation of the lung.
• Bleeding of bronchial origin is usually a result of
bronchiectasis or endobronchial malignancy.
4. • Pulmonary hemorrhage originating from the
small, medium, and large pulmonary vessels
is most commonly due to systemic vasculitis,
which can also involve the microcirculation.
• Vasculitides involving the microvasculature is
known as pulmonary capillaritis.
5. Unlike the more common forms of pulmonary
hemorrhage that result from focal lesions (e.g.,
necrotizing pneumonia, bronchitis,
bronchiectasis, malignancy, pulmonary
infarction, arteriovenous malformation), DAH
affects the majority of the alveolar capillary
surface.
6. DIFFUSE ALVEOLAR
HEMORRAHGE
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a life-
threatening medical condition characterized
by widespread hemorrhage from the
pulmonary microcirculation (arterioles,
capillaries, and venules)involving majority of
the alveolar capillary surface.
Intrapulmonary hemorrhage / Pulmonary
alveolar hemorrhage / Pulmonary capillary
hemorrhage / Microvascular lung
hemorrhage.
10. Pathology
• PULMONARY CAPILLARITIS : has a unique
histopathologic appearance consisting of
interstitial neutrophilic predominant
infiltration,
fibrinoid necrosis of the alveolar and capillary
walls, and
leukocytoclasis.
11. The infiltrating neutrophils undergo cytoclasis,
nuclear debris accumulates within the
interstitium, and there is a subsequent loss of
the integrity of the alveolarcapillary
basement membrane.
The disruption of the alveolar-capillary
basement membranes that results in the
accumulation of RBCs in alveolar spaces.
13. BLAND HEMORRAGE (without
capillaritis) RBC’s in the alveolar spaces,
but alveolar walls appear normal except
for type II epithelial cell hyperplasia.
Diffuse alveolar damage:
Hyaline membrane formation, alveolar
and interstitial edema, microthrombi, and
capillary congestion are present

should be ordered to find out the
underlying disorder.
27. Pulmonary function test
Raised DLCO in acute cases,
Restrictive pattern associated with fibrosis
or obstructive patterns with marked
emphysematous changes in chronic cases.
28. FOB
Bronchoscopy with BAL is essential to the
accurate identification of DAH.

30. Quantitative scoring of the hemosiderin
concentration (>25%) in alveolar
macrophages obtained by BAL cytology
has a good sensitivity for the diagnosis of
DAH.
Importantly, BAL serves to rule out other
conditions in the differential diagnosis
such as infection, acute lung injury, and
rare interstitial diseases such as acute
eosinophilic pneumonia and pulmonary
alveolar proteinosis.
31. Histopathological diagnosis
diagnostic biopsy remains the gold
standard.

Clinical Differentiation of Common Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage
Syndromes
35. Treatment
Irrespective of etiology, the most immediate
concern in patients with severe immune DAH is
to control intrapulmonary bleeding, which may
be fatal.
adequate oxygenation & supportive measures.
Corticosteroids are considered part of standard
therapy for all immune-mediated DAH
syndromes
36. For severe cases (e.g., severe hypoxemia,
respiratory failure), high-dose “pulse”
methylprednisolone (1000 mg daily for 3 days)
should be given.
Rapid resolution of bleeding can occur, often
within 24 to 72 hours of initiation of therapy.
Following the 3-day pulse, corticosteroids
(dose of methylprednisolone 60 to 120 mg per
day or equivalent) should be continued for a few
days, until control of the bleeeding.
37. The subsequent dose and rate of
corticosteroid taper need to be individualized ,
based upon clinical, radiographic, and
serological response.
The presence of renal involvement, vasculitis,
or progression of DAH on corticosteroids is an
indication for adding cyclophosphamide (or
occasionally other immunosuppressive
agents).
Rituximab may be as effective, and possibly
more effective than CYP for ANCA-associated
vasculitis, but data are limited for DAH.
38. Plasmapheresis is a central component of
therapy for anti-GBM disease
plasmapheresis may have an adjunctive role in
patients with autoimmune DAH and severe
renal insufficiency (i.e., serum creatinine >4
mg%) and in patients with severe or
progressive DAH refractory to corticosteroids or
immunosuppressive agents.
39. Mechanical ventilatory support, often with
positive end-expiratory pressure, may be
necessary in fulminant cases of DAH, to
prevent death due to refractory hypoxemia.
Transfusion of red blood cells may be
required to maintain an acceptable hematocrit
(more than 25%) and adequate blood
pressure.

49. Summary
DAH is a clinico pathologic syndrome that
results from a variety of conditions and
should be considered a life-threatening
event.
Once believed to be a rare syndrome,
DAH is being recognized with increasing
frequency.
50. A systematic approach to early
recognition, establishment of diagnosis,
and aggressive treatment likely
decreases the morbidity and mortality
associated with untreated or
unrecognized DAH.
