Cardiac output (The Guyton and Hall Physiology)Maryam Fida
The volume of blood pumped by each ventricle per minute is called cardiac output
Cardiac output = Stroke Volume X Heart Rate
Normal value = 5 Liters /Minute
Cardiac output = Stroke Volume X Heart Rate
The factors which regulate stroke volume and Heart rate are basically regulating Cardiac output
Volume of blood ejected by each ventricle in single systole; Normal Value = 70 ml/beat
Stroke Volume = End diastolic Volume – End Systolic Volume
So stroke volume is mainly controlled by
EDV
ESV
VENOUS RETURN: What ever blood volume returns to the heart, same is pumped forward through the Frank’s Starlings Law. According to this law 13- 15 liters of blood volume can be pumped out without cardiac stimulation.
DURATION OF DIASTOLE OR FILLING TIME: ventricular filling occurs during diastole, so there must be adequate ventricular filling time.
DISTENSIBILITY OF THE VENTRICLES: Normally ventricles are distensible to accommodate adequate blood volume. Infarction decreases the distensibility which decreases the EDV.
ATRIAL CONTRACTION: There must be adequate atrial contraction to have adequate EDV. If atrial function is not adequate then EDV will decrease.
E.S.V is basically CONTROLLED BY MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION
FORCE OF MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION: It depends upon the initial length of muscle fibers according to frank’s starlings law.
PRELOAD: The effect of EDV on initial length is called preload. So EDV also effects the ESV.
AFTER LOAD: Force of contraction is also dependant upon the resistance against which the ventricles have to pump
CONDITION OF THE MYOCARDIUM : It also effects the force of contraction.
AUTONOMIC NERVES : Sympathetic stimulation increases and parasympathetic stimulation decreases force of contraction
HORMONES: Catecholamines, thyroxine, glucagon, digitalis, calcium, increased temp, caffeine, theophyline increase the force.
Force decreases by hypoxia, acidosis, barniturates, procainamide and quinidine decrease the force of contraction.
Regulation of arterial blood pressure (The Guyton and Hall Physiology)Maryam Fida
BLOOD PRESSURE
The pressure exerted by the blood on vessel wall is known as blood pressure.
SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE
The maximum pressure exerted in the arteries during systole of heart.
Normal systolic pressure: 120 mm Hg.
DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE
The minimum pressure exerted in the arteries during diastole of heart.
Normal diastolic pressure: 80 mm Hg.
PULSE PRESSURE
The difference between the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.
Normal pulse pressure: 40 mm Hg (120 – 80 = 40).
MEAN ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE
The average pressure existing in the arteries.
Mean Arterial Blood Pressure = Diastolic Pressure + 1/3 Pulse Pressure
Pulse Pressure = (Systolic – Diastolic)
Mean Arterial Blood Pressure =Diastolic Pressure+1/3(Systolic – Diastolic)
“Cardiac output refers to the volume of blood pumped out per ventricle per minute.”
Cardiac output is the function of heart rate and stroke volume.
STROKE VOLUME:
The amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle in one compression is called the stroke volume.
Heart Rate
The cardiac output increases with the increase in heart rate.

This presentation gives you a brief, understandable, captivating and presentable idea on the physiology of blood pressure regulation both on hypertension and hypotension cases.
The renal actions of the most potent mineralocorticoid hormone Aldosterone are conceptualized as the 4 arrows in action, in the context of the regulation of the blood volume and pressure and the plasma electrolytes, sodium and potassium.
Mr. EasyG, a cartoon character, shows you the easy way to remember the direction and polarity of the 6 limb leads - the dirty half-dozen- important to localize the part of heart affected by the disease process(e.g. inferior infarct) and to determine the electrical axis of the heart.

The whole cardiovascular physiology caters to blood flow through the organs, and blood pressure is just one of the factors favouring tissue blood flow (perfusion).
The concept is built up on basic transport mechanisms across the biological membranes including transcapillary or paracapillary transport. Attempt has been made to distinguish between the blood brain barrier and blood-CSF barrier. Cartoons were profusely used.

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!

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

• SBP
• Aortic distensibility
(elasticity)
• TPR
• Stroke volume
• Aortic distensibility
(elasticity)
SBP = CO x TPR
DBP = CO x TPR
12
13. Physiological Variations in BP
• Age:
– SBP and DBP gradually rise with age (after about 30 years), the
SBP more so and more sustained than the DBP
• Sex:
– the rise in BP with age is greater in males
• Circadian variation (diurnal variation):
– lowest during sleep (nocturnal dip) and highest in the mornings after
waking up
• Increased transiently during physical stress (e.g. muscular
exercise), mental stress(anger, apprehension, resentment, mental
concentration), emotional excitement
• The effect of Gravity: When erect, BP in any vessel
varies in relation to the vertical distance from the heart
level
14. Physiological Variations in BP
• Gravity
– In an upright position, BP
in the arteries below the
heart level is increased,
and that in the arteries
above the heart level is
decreased by 0.77 mm Hg
for each cm of vertical
distance below or above
the heart.
– Thus, routine
measurement of BP
should be performed with
the artery at the heart
level.
15. Effect of Gravity
• Pressure in large artery in the
foot 105 cm below the heart =
[0.77 mmHg/cm x 105 cm = 80
mm Hg)] +
• 100 mm Hg (Mean ABP at heart
level)
• = 180 mm Hg
• Pressure in vein in the foot 105
cm below the heart = [0.77
mmHg/cm x 105 cm = 80 mm

• 4 mm Hg (right atrial pressure)
• = 84 mm Hg

• Baroreceptor reflex
– stimulation of vagus fall in HR (since

VMC by CNS ischaemia
– sympathetic-mediated generalized

45. Cushing's reflex
• Because the skull is rigid
after infancy, intracranial
masses or swelling may
increase intracranial
pressure. When intracranial
pressure is increased
sufficiently, regardless of the
cause, Cushing's reflex and
other autonomic
abnormalities can occur.
• Cushing's reflex includes
systolic hypertension,
increased pulse pressure,
and bradycardia.
45
46. Renal regulation of B.P.
I. Physical : by variation of Glomerular
filtration pressure variation in urine
formation
II. Hormonal : by secretion of renin
• Renin-Angiotensin (AGII)Aldosterone system (RAAS)
46
47. Renal regulation of B.P.
When blood volume and BP is increased,
KIDNEYS excrete excess fluid by
• Pressure diuresis
increased urine formation as a result of increased
glomerular filtration due to raised renal perfusion
pressure
• Pressure natriuresis
increased urinary excretion of sodium as a
result of increased glomerular filtration of
sodium due to raised renal perfusion pressure
47
48. Renal regulation of B.P.
When blood volume and BP is decreased:
decr. glomerular capillary H.P. decr.GFR
• Oliguria (deceased urine formation)
• Anuria (renal shutdown – no urine formation)
Thus KIDNEYS conserve ECF Volume
48
50. Summary :Systemic Arterial
Blood Pressure
• Varies with the amount of blood in the systemic
arterial system (begins at the aorta, ends at
arterioles in various tissues)
• This is because the systemic arteries are not
very distensible
• The greater the cardiac output, the greater the
inflow of blood into the systemic arterial system,
the higher is the BP
• The greater the TPR, the lesser the outflow of
blood out of the systemic arterial system, the
50
higher is the BP
51. Systemic Arterial Blood
Pressure
• Sympathetic nervous system and the RAA
system are powerful systems that can increase
BP
• Moment to moment control is by baroreceptor
reflex.
• What is the use of increasing the BP when blood
supply to almost all tissues are shut down by
arteriolar constriction?
• Ans. Local vasodilatory mechanisms in the vital
organs- the brain and the heart, will overcome
the systemic vasoconstrictor effect– diverting
blood flow to them at the expense of other
organs and tissues
