This document provides an introduction to CAD-RADS, a standardized reporting system for coronary CT angiography (CCTA) results. CAD-RADS aims to create standardized terminology and improve communication of CCTA findings and management recommendations. It classifies plaque and stenosis based on location, severity, and high-risk features. Modifiers are used to indicate non-diagnostic studies, stents, grafts, and vulnerable plaque. The document provides examples of CAD-RADS classifications and modifiers.

This is a review of features in ECG to diagnose the culprit artery responsible for the infarction.
Localization of the occluded vessel in acute myocardial infarction is important for many reasons:
to know which artery is to dilate and stent; to assess the severity of the lesion; to compare with
the echocardiographic area with hypokinesia or akinesia and to differentiate the recent from
the old occluded vessel. The ST-segment changes in 12-lead ECG form the basis of diagnosis,
management, and prognosis.

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.

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.

1. Introduction to Coronary CTA reporting
and plaque vulnerability CAD RADS based
By
Mohammed Gibreel , FEBR
Cardiac Imager senior registrar
AHC and NHI
2. CAD-RADS = Coronary Artery Disease
Reporting and Data System.
CAD-RADS is a standardized reporting system for coronary CTA results and
findings .
The main goal of CAD-RADS is to create report standardization terminology for
coronary CTA results and to improve communication of results to referring
physicians in a clear and consistent fashion with a final assessment and
suggestions for further management.
5. CAD-RADS reporting and data system for
patients presenting with stable chest pain
CAD-RADS will not apply for smaller vessels (<1.5 mm in diameter).
plaque with positive remodeling and no evidence of stenosis = CAD-RADS 1.
Coronary CTA has low accuracy for diagnosis of in-stent restenosis,
particularly in stents smaller than 3.0 mm diameter
6. Modifiers; N(non diagnostic study),S
(stent) ,G (graft) & V (vulnerable)
N:-
If the study is not fully diagnostic i.e. not all segments >1.5 mm diameter
can be interpreted with confidence).
Used when CAD-RADS is greater than 3 ( moderate and above).
Example, a patient with moderate stenosis (50-69%) in one segment with one
or more non-diagnostic remote segments CAD-RADS 3/N and not CAD-
RADS N, since further evaluation is needed.
7. Mid LAD Moderate stenosis + cardiac motion artifact of mid RCA so
CAD RADS is ?
CAD RADS 3/N or CAD RADS N ?
8. Answer is:
CAD RADS 3/N.
But if the mid LAD stenosis was mild so it will be
CAD RADS N .
9. Modifiers; N(non diagnostic study),S
(stent) ,G (graft) & V (vulnerable)
S:-
The modifier “S” indicates the presence of at least one coronary stent anywhere
in the coronary system.
Grading of in-stent stenosis should follow the grading of the coronary arteries.
For example, patent stent in Px LAD with no in-stent restenosis + mild non-
obstructive disease (25-49%) in LCX or RCA CAD-RADS 2/S.
If a patient demonstrates significant in-stent restenosis of a stent in the Px LAD
CAD-RADS 4A/S.
Patent stent in the Px LAD and a new severe stenosis in the RCA CAD-RADS
4A/S.
Finally, if a stent was non evaluable and no other lesions more than 50% in the
coronary tree CAD-RADS N/S.
11. Modifiers; N(non diagnostic study),S
(stent) ,G (graft) & V (vulnerable)
G:-
The modifier “G” indicates the presence of at least one coronary artery
bypass graft.
Stenosis bypassed by a fully patent graft is not considered for the CAD-RADS
classification.
Example , patent LIMA to mid LAD with free anastomotic site and segment
distal to anastomotic site + mild RCA or LCX stenosis (25-49%)
CAD-RADS 2/G.
Example , total occlusion of a saphenous vein graft (SVG) to the RCA, and a
patent LIMA to LAD and SVG to LCX CAD-RADS 5/G.
12. Modifiers; N(non diagnostic study),S
(stent) ,G (graft) & V (vulnerable)
V:-
Presence of “vulnerable” or high-risk plaque ,,,, associated with future ACS.
High-risk features include 4 items if 2 or more are present =Vulnerable
plaque :-
1) low attenuation plaque (less than 30 Hounsfield Units).
2) positive remodeling.
3) spotty calcification.
4) napkin ring sign.
13.
14.
15. Focal non-calcified plaque
in the mid RCA with 25-
49% diameter stenosis.
The plaque demonstrates
two high risk features,
low attenuation(<30 HU)
and positive remodeling,
thus coding with the
modifier “V.”
16. If more than one modifier is present, the symbol “/”(slash)
should follow each modifier in the following order:
i. First: modifier N (non-diagnostic).
ii. Second: modifier S (stent).
iii. Third: modifier G (graft).
iv. Fourth: modifier V (vulnerability).
17. Examples:
1) Non-interpretable coronary stent without evidence of other
obstructive coronary disease: Modifier S CAD-RADS N/S .
2) Presence of stent + new moderate stenosis showing a plaque
+ high-risk features: Modifiers S and V CAD-RADS 3/S/V .
3) Presence of stent, grafts and non-evaluable segments due to
metal artifacts: Modifiers S and G CAD-RADS N/S/G.
4) Presence of patent LIMA to the LAD + Mild non-obstructive
stenosis in the RCA and LCX. Modifier G CAD-RADS 2/G.
5) Severe stenosis (70-99%) in one segment and a non-diagnostic
area in another segment CAD-RADS 4/N.
22. MS ( 00 D) CT CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY WITH CALCIUM SCORE
Clinical history and risk factors :-
Clinical question :-
TECHNIQUE: using a [scanner type], a preliminary scout study was obtained,
followed by coronary artery calcium.
Protocol: [Prospective; Retrospective>] ECG triggering was used with Heart
rate of 00 B/M. Following administration of intravenous contrast 1.5ml/Kg,
[0.5] mm collimated images were obtained through the coronary arteries.
Data were transferred off-line for 3D reconstructions including Curved MPR
and multi-planar imaging.
MEDICATIONS: [100mg of oral metoprolol was administered two hours before
scanning]. [0.4mg sublingual nitroglycerine was administered immediately
prior to scanning].
EXAM QUALITY and SCAN LIMITATIONS: [excellent, with no artifacts; good,
with minor artifact but good diagnostic quality; acceptable, with moderate
artifacts; poor/suboptimal, with severe artifacts].
Artifacts ;respiratory motion if the patient did not comply completely with
breath holding instructions. Cardiac motion if there was acceleration of heart
rate occurred during acquisition. Image quality is partially degraded by high
BMI in cases of obese patient.
23. FINDINGS:
The total calcium score = zero / 00 .
The coronary arteries arise in normal position. There is ____ (right/ left/ co) coronary artery
dominance.
Left main: The left main coronary artery is a _____ (short/ medium/ large) size vessel and
(bifurcates in LAD and LCX /or trifurcates in LAD,RI and LCX). It is patent with no evidence of
plaque or stenosis.
LAD: The left anterior descending artery is patent with no evidence of plaque or stenosis. It
gives off ____ patent diagonal branches.
LCX: The left circumflex artery is patent with no evidence of plaque or stenosis. It gives off
____ patent obtuse marginal branches.
RCA: The right coronary artery is patent with no evidence of plaque or stenosis. It gives off a
patent posterior descending artery and a patent posterior left ventricular branch.
Cardiac valves: There is no thickening or calcifications in the aortic and mitral valves.
Pericardium: The pericardial contour is preserved with no effusion, thickening or
calcifications.
Extra-cardiac findings: There are no significant extra-cardiac findings in the available limited
views of the lungs and mediastinum.
24. IMPRESSION:
1- Total calcium score of 00.
2- No evidence of coronary stenosis or plaque by Coronary CT Angiography.
CAD RADS [0] - Management recommendation: Reassurance. Consider other non-
atherosclerotic causes of chest pain.
Other: [ ].
