Large intestine
The large intestine comes after the small intestine and measures approximately 1.5 meters. It absorbs water and nutrients from waste and protects the body from infections. The large intestine consists of the cecum, colon (ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid sections), rectum, and anal canal. It removes remaining water from digested food and stores waste until defecation through contractions that move waste to the rectum for elimination.
Anatomy of the Digestive system
The document provides an overview of the anatomy and functions of the digestive system. It describes the digestive system as consisting of the alimentary canal and accessory organs. The alimentary canal includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Accessory organs that aid digestion include the tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. The document outlines the locations and roles of each organ in ingestion, digestion, absorption and elimination of food.
Small intestine
The small intestine extends from the stomach to the large intestine. It is divided into three sections - the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The small intestine completes the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats using enzymes in the intestinal walls. It absorbs the digested nutrients through fingerlike protrusions called villi and transports them to the liver via the hepatic portal vein.
Anatomy and physiology of the Urinary system by Dipali Harkhani
The document summarizes the anatomy and physiology of the urinary system. It describes the main components of the urinary system as the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine, which travels through the ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until urination, when urine exits through the urethra. The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney that filters blood and modifies it into urine through processes of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.

Structure and functions of liver
The liver is the largest gland in the human body, located in the upper right abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. It has four lobes and is made up of lobules that contain hepatocytes arranged in plates with blood sinusoids between them. The liver receives blood from the hepatic portal vein and hepatic artery, and filters toxins and produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine after meals to aid in fat digestion. The liver performs many essential metabolic functions including carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, hormone inactivation, and production of bile and proteins.
Renal system
The renal system consists of the kidneys and urinary bladder. The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining fluid balance and composition in the body, regulating the internal environment. The kidneys are composed of nephrons which filter blood, reabsorbing necessary substances and secreting waste products to produce urine. Urine is stored in the bladder and emptied during micturition.

The interior of the stomach has rugae and is divided into four regions: the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus.
Stomach
The stomach is located in the upper abdomen and is J-shaped. It is surrounded by organs like the liver, pancreas, and spleen. The stomach has three sections - the fundus, body, and pyloric antrum. Food enters the stomach through the esophagus and exits into the small intestine through the pyloric sphincter. The stomach secretes gastric juice containing hydrochloric acid and enzymes to digest proteins. Gastric juice is produced in response to eating and helps break down food in the stomach before it passes into the small intestine.
Urinary System Notes
The urinary system functions to regulate homeostasis by controlling water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance and eliminating waste from the body. The major organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to form urine and are made up of nephrons, the functional units that filter blood and remove waste. Urine is formed through the processes of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion in the nephrons and is temporarily stored in the bladder before being excreted through the urethra.
Anatomy of Lymphatic system
The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and immune system. It is composed of a network of lymphatic vessels that carry lymph fluid towards the heart. Lymph contains plasma constituents too large to pass through blood capillaries, such as macroparticles from damaged areas. Lymphatic vessels originate as blind-ended tubes and contain valves to prevent backflow. They join to form larger vessels and ducts that drain into veins. Lymph nodes filter lymph and activate immune cells. Key lymphatic organs include the spleen, bone marrow, thymus gland and tonsils, which help generate and select lymphocytes.

The inner ear contains the bony and membranous labyrinths which house the organs of balance and hearing. The bony labyrinth consists of the vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea. The membranous labyrinth sits within the bony labyrinth and contains the cochlear duct, saccule, utricle, and three semicircular ducts. The inner ear is filled with two fluids - perilymph surrounds the membranous labyrinth while endolymph fills its chambers. The inner ear detects sound and balance with the help of these fluids and is innervated by the vestibulocochlear nerve.
Diseases of larynx
This document discusses several congenital diseases of the larynx, including supraglottic anomalies like laryngomalacia, laryngocele, and lymphangioma. Glottic anomalies covered are laryngeal web, laryngeal atresia, and vocal cord paralysis. Subglottic anomalies discussed are subglottic stenosis, subglottic hemangioma, and laryngeal and laryngotracheal esophagus cleft. Each condition is defined and their primary signs and symptoms are outlined.
Primitive Reflexes
Primitive reflexes are involuntary movements exhibited by normal infants that originate in the central nervous system. Some of the main primitive reflexes include the Moro reflex, which causes infants to spread their arms out when startled; the palmer grasp reflex, where infants' fingers close around objects placed in their hands; and the Babinski reflex, where an infant's big toe moves upward when the sole of the foot is stroked. These reflexes develop in utero or during early infancy and typically disappear by 6-24 months as the infant's motor skills mature.
PHONETICS
This document discusses articulatory phonetics and the production of speech sounds. It explains that speech is produced through three main processes: the air stream mechanism, phonation, and articulation. Articulatory phonetics can be divided into voice, placement of articulators, and manner of articulation. It also discusses coarticulation and how sounds influence each other during production. Finally, it covers acoustic considerations of speech including frequency, intensity, pitch, and suprasegmental features like stress, intonation, rhythm, and word juncture.
Laryngeal trauma
This document discusses laryngeal trauma, or injury to the voice box. It begins by describing the anatomy and function of the larynx. It then classifies laryngeal injuries as either blunt, penetrating, iatrogenic, or from inhalation. Common causes are automobile accidents, blows to the neck, and penetrating sharp objects. Pathology can range from bruising to fractures of the laryngeal framework. Clinical features include respiratory distress, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, and pain in the larynx. Diagnostic evaluation involves laryngoscopy and CT imaging. Treatment may involve vocal rest, steroids, antibiotics, laryngectomy, or open reduction surgery to repair fractures and tissue damage.
Visual perceptual motor deficit
This document discusses visual perceptual and motor disorders, which affect how a person understands and copies visual information. Key components of visual processing include visual cognition, memory, pattern recognition, scanning, and attention. Symptoms include difficulties copying, navigating, reading, and with fine motor tasks. The visual process involves input from the eyes to the brain, and components like visual fields and acuity. Issues can include problems with discrimination, figure-ground perception, sequencing, visual-motor skills, and memory. Suggested strategies include accommodations for writing and copying tasks.
Receptive language
This document discusses activities to develop receptive language skills in children. It defines receptive language as the ability to understand words, sentences, and meanings. There are four main areas of receptive language: following directions, understanding questions, understanding grammar, and vocabulary. Some suggested activities to develop these skills include question games, direction games like Simon Says, puzzle games, reading games, and working on memory skills through visualization, rehearsal, chunking, and visual reminders. Everyday activities like naming items and explaining new concepts in multiple ways can also help improve receptive language.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.The Electrocardiogram - Physiologic Principles
