This document summarizes a medical case presentation involving a 25-year-old male patient who presented with dizziness, fatigue, and abdominal swelling. On examination, the patient was pale and wasted with massive splenomegaly. Laboratory tests found normocytic anemia and leukocytosis. A peripheral blood smear showed dysplastic granulocytes suggestive of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The patient was referred to the oncology unit for further treatment of CML.
The third most common reason for a visit to a family physician and the most frequently observed abnormal finding on annual health exams in people of all age groups- Hypertension.
According to the seventh report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure, 58 million Americans have high blood pressure, or hypertension. Despite multiple theories of mechanism there is no clear understanding of what causes essential hypertension (most common type). It is more common with increasing age and is found in over half the population over 60. It’s more common in men than in women until after menopause and is more prevalent in the black population at all ages. According to American Heart Association (2005), approximately 4 out of 10 African-Americans have high blood pressure (BP) compared to about 3 out of 10 Mexican-Americans and Caucasians.

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
