Brief history of cardiac surgery
1) Cardiac surgery has evolved significantly from the late 19th century. Early operations on the pericardium took place in the early 19th century but were rarely successful.
2) A major breakthrough was the first successful open-heart surgery performed by John Gibbon in 1953 using the first heart-lung machine. This allowed for direct visualization and repair of cardiac structures.
3) The development of cardiopulmonary bypass by Lillehei in 1954 and the use of mechanical pumps by Kirklin further advanced cardiac surgery by allowing for longer, more complex procedures.
4) Milestones since then include the first coronary artery bypass by Favaloro in 1967, innovations in heart valve surgery and replacement,

Neonatal transcranial USG
Cranial sonography is an essential part of newborn care that allows for rapid evaluation of infants in the NICU with minimal risk. Standard brain ultrasound uses transducers of 5-10 MHz to obtain sagittal and coronal views through the anterior fontanelle, as well as views through the posterior and mastoid fontanelles. This provides evaluation of the brain structures and ventricles. Color Doppler may help differentiate certain lesions. Cranial ultrasound is a reliable, inexpensive and radiation-free method for serially imaging the brain in newborns.

x ray chest.pptx
There are three types of chest films: anteroposterior (AP), posteroanterior (PA), and lateral. The ideal timing is at the end of inspiration when the patient holds their breath and the x-ray tube is 180cm away. Image quality is assessed using the "RIPE" mnemonic of rotation, inspiration, position, and exposure to ensure visibility of key structures like the heart and vertebrae. Interpretation follows the "ABCDEF" schema of checking the airways, bones, cardiac, diaphragm, extrathoracic tissues, and fields and fissures for any abnormalities.

A Structured Method for ECG Interpretation
A course aimed at junior doctors, nurses and medical students who want to learn about how to interpret ECGs in a systematic manner.
Echo Physics and Doppler
This document discusses the physics of ultrasound and Doppler. It covers topics such as:
- Waves can transfer energy through a medium without transferring matter. Ultrasound uses sound waves above 20kHz.
- Frequency, wavelength, velocity and amplitude are key wave properties. Velocity equals frequency multiplied by wavelength.
- Ultrasound reflects off tissues, with denser tissues reflecting more. Reflection, refraction, diffraction and attenuation affect ultrasound imaging.
- Doppler shift measures the change in frequency of waves from a moving source, allowing calculation of flow velocity. Spectral and continuous wave Doppler are used to assess flow.
Cases in general medicine
A 35-year-old man presents with vomiting bright red blood and is diagnosed with variceal bleeding from liver cirrhosis. Management includes airway protection, IV fluids, antibiotics, terlipressin, urgent endoscopy for banding or sclerotherapy. A 73-year-old woman reports increased thirst and weight loss and is found to have diabetes. Testing shows HbA1c of 6.5% confirming type 2 diabetes. Treatment begins with lifestyle changes and metformin. An 18-year-old presents confused with abdominal pain and ketoacidosis is diagnosed. Treatment involves IV fluids, insulin drip, and monitoring glucose and ketones until acidosis resolves.
Respiratory cases

Introduction to arterial blood gases
This document provides an overview of acid-base homeostasis and arterial blood gas (ABG) interpretation. Key points include: pH is regulated between 7.36-7.42 through buffering systems like bicarbonate; ABG values like pCO2, HCO3, and base excess indicate respiratory or metabolic acidosis/alkalosis; and a systematic approach is needed to interpret ABGs based on pH and expected compensatory changes to determine the primary abnormality. Several case examples are presented and analyzed to demonstrate ABG interpretation.
Introduction to abdominal x ray interpretation
This document provides an overview of interpreting abdominal x-rays. It outlines the viewing protocol including examining bones, lungs, calcifications, organs and gas/bowel patterns. Common abnormalities are described such as small/large bowel obstructions, perforations and pneumoperitoneum. Specific cases are presented of patients with hernia, diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, and fecal impaction. While abdominal x-rays often have low yield, following a systematic approach and understanding normal anatomy and gas patterns is important for identifying any abnormalities present.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Approach to reporting radiographs
- 1. Approach to reporting radiographs Dr G Abraham
- 2. X-Ray • Form of electromagnetic radiation. • First discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Röntgen who recognized its medical properties. • A radiograph is obtained by passing X ray beams through the patient who is in front of a detector. Bones and other structures cast a shadow allowing their visualisation
- 3. Quick guide • Patient identity • Inspiration – 5- 7 anterior ribs for chest x ray • Rotation –thoracic spinous processes/clavicles • Projection • Penetrance • Field of view • Overall quality • The obvious abnormality? • Systematic check of anatomical structures • Consider the clinical question
- 4. Anatomical structures on the chest X- ray • Trachea and bronchi • Hilar structures • Heart and mediastinum • Lung fields • Pleura • Lung lobes and fissures • Costophrenic angles • Diaphragm • Soft tissues • Bones
- 5. Normal anatomy • Dark – gas • White – bone/calcification • Grey – soft tissues • Dark grey - fat
- 6. 68 year old gentleman with shortness of breath.
- 7. 85 year old lady with a fever and recurrent falls
- 8. 68 year old smoker with hemoptysis
- 9. 75 year old with reduced GCS in ED resus.
- 10. 20 year old intoxicated in ED with multiple injuries.
- 11. 30 year old with severe abdominal pain.
- 12. 49 year old man with chest pain and low blood pressure
- 13. 80 year old gentleman admitted with a fall.
- 14. 67 year old with extensive smoking history
- 15. 40 year old woman pleuritic chest pain.
- 16. Summary • A systematic approach is vital • Start with technical aspects and then anatomy • Remember bone, soft tissue and artefacts • Consider clinical context • Investigations are an adjunct to clinical assessment.
