The document discusses cyanotic congenital heart disease, specifically Fallot's Tetralogy. It describes the pathophysiology of Fallot's Tetralogy, including a ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, and partial lung perfusion causing cyanosis. It outlines complications like syncope, polycythemia, and cerebral infarction. Symptoms include cyanosis, clubbing of fingers and toes, and exertional dyspnea. Investigations and treatments are also summarized, including palliative anastomotic procedures and total surgical correction between ages 5-10 years.
A treadmill exercise stress test is used to determine the effects of exercise on the heart. Exercise allows doctors to detect abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and diagnose the presence or absence of coronary artery disease.
This test involves walking in place on a treadmill while monitoring the electrical activity of your heart. Throughout the test, the speed and incline of the treadmill increase. The results show how well your heart responds to the stress of different levels of exercise.
Description
A technologist will explain the test to you, take a brief medical history, and answer any questions you may have. Your blood pressure, heart rate, and electrocardiogram (ECG) will be monitored before, during, and after the test.
You will be asked to sign a consent form. This form is required before the test can proceed.
You will be asked to remove all upper body clothing, and to put on a gown with the opening to the front.
Adhesive electrodes will be put onto your chest to capture an ECG. The sites where the electrodes are placed will be cleaned with alcohol and shaved if necessary. A mild abrasion may also be used to ensure a good quality ECG recording.
Your resting blood pressure, heart rate, and ECG will be recorded.
You will be asked to walk on a treadmill. The walk starts off slowly, then the speed and incline increases at set times. It is very important that you walk as long as possible because the test is effort-dependent.
You will be monitored throughout the test. If a problem occurs, the technologist will stop the test right away. It is very important for you to tell the technologist if you experience any symptoms, such as chest pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, or extreme fatigue.
Following the test, you will be asked to lie down. Your blood pressure, heart rate, and ECG will be monitored for three to five minutes after exercise.
The data will be reviewed by a cardiologist after the test is completed. A report will be sent to the doctor(s) involved in your care.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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

AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
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
4. Fallot’s Tetralogy:
• Ventriculoseptal defect results in equal pressure within both
ventricles.
• As a result of the pulmonary stenosis, more blood is
discharge into the aorta and cyanosis results.
• Lungs are only partially perfused and total oxygen is poor.
• Anomaly results in right to left interventricular shunt due to
right outflow tract obstruction and high right ventricular
pressure.
5. COMPLICATIONS
•Lose of consciousness due to cerebral anorexia
•Polycythemia
•About 1/3 of patients are cyanotic at birth, these patients often
do not survive infancy unless operation is performed quickly.
•Threat to life in the 1st year is cerebral infarction
•Brain abscess
6. SYMPTOMS:
•Asymptomatic at birth. soon after, infants become cyanosis.
•Systemic cyanosis
•Undersize child
•Clubbing of finger and toes
•Exertional dyspneoa and tiredness.
•After walking a short distance, body spontaneous desire to squat:
increase systemic vascular resistance & blood is diverted into the
pulmonary circulation with increase oxygenation.
7. INVESTIGATION
•Heart of normal size
•A systolic murmur present at 3rd & 4th intercostal space.
•X-ray: Boot-shaped with poorly developed lung vasculature.
•ECG
•Cardiac catheterization
•Selective angiocardiography
8. Fallot’s Tetralogy
Anastomotic palliative treatment:
1.Blalock’s anastomosis: performed on child of a few weeks to 5 years
Anastomosis of pulmonary artery to the left subclavian artery.
Incision: A left postero-lateral thoracotomy
through the 4th intercostal space.
2.Waterston’s anastomosis
Anastomosis of ascending aorta and
right pulmonary artery.
Incision: A right antero-lateral
thoracotomy through the 4th intercostal
space.
3.Pott’s Anastomosis
Anastomosis of ascending aorta to left pulmonary artery.
9. Fallot’s Tetralogy
Total correction:
Technique: performed btw 5 and 10 years of child age
Operation carried out through median sternotomy with help of
extracorporeal circulation
High vertical ventriculotomy perform which stop near the
pulmonary annulus through this incision ventricular septal defect
closed with dacron patch
Pulmonary vulvular and infundibular obstruction is also widened
with patch graft of dacron
Continue…
10. Fallot’s Tetralogy
Ventriculotomy closed with dacron patch, extracorporeal circulation
is stopped
Measured intracardiac pressure to confirm the right ventricular
systolic pressure reduced to less than 60 to 70% of that of left
ventricle.
This operation risk is about 10% for small children, only 2 to 5% in
older children
11. •After correction there may be alveolar edema.
•It may be necessary to prolong artificial ventilation with the
use of PEEP.
•And to wean the patient off the ventilator with the use of CPAP.
•Breathing exercise with emphasis on inspiration are
particularly important.
•Fine shaking and percussion to be helpful in the resolution of
the peripheral lung involvement.
•Discharge is btw 2 & 3 weeks, total correction is preffered
before school age.
12. •The Condition was first described by Morgagny.
•Aorta arises from Rt ventricle,
pulmonary artery arises
from Lt ventricle.
•The two circulations,
pulmonary and systolic,
instead of being in series
are in parallel.
13. •The pulmonary and systemic circulations are separated.
•Venous blood circulate round the body while oxygenated blood
circulate round the lungs.
•For the child be survive there must be a communication btw
two circulation.
•Possible communications are persistent ductus
arteriosus, arterial septal defect or ventricular septal defect.
14. SYMPTOMS:
•Deeply Cyanotic at birth(80%)
•Syncope
•Dyspneoa on exertion
•Cardiac failure
•Clubbing & Polycythemia
15. TRANSPOSITION OF GREAT VESSELS
Surgical procedure; palliative treatment:
1.Procedure is balloon septostomy
ruptured(Rashkind and Miller,1966) to create an atrial shunt.
2. Atrial septal is excised (Blalock and Hanlon,1950)
The Rt atrium and pulmonary vein are parallely incised.
A portion of the atrial septum is excised and two incisions are now
anastomosed.
16. Total anatomical correction:
Disconnecting the pulmonary artery from left ventricle and
aorta from right ventricle
Coronary artery must be implanted onto the pulmonary
artery, acting as major vessel from Lt ventricle
17. •The pulmonary venous drainage has become disconnected
from the left atrium
•And drains into the systemic venous circulation at some point
oInferior vena cava,
oSuperior vena cava,
oCoronary sinus,
oRight atrium
•There is mixing of the pulmonary circulation though a patent
foramen ovale.
18. •Occurs in the reversal of the left-to-right shunt.
•Some of conditions are:
oAtrial and ventricular septal defect,
oPatent ductus arteriosus.
•But the Rt ventricle hypertrophies and the pressure in the
pulmonary artery increases as a result of the increased flow.
•Increased pulmonary HT leads to equalization of pressure
either side of shunt, but, at some point, the right-sided pressure
will exceed and desaturated blood enters the Lt side of the
circulation
19. Symptoms:
oCyanosis
oDyspneoa
•It is irreversible diseases
•Closer of the shunt is contraindicated if pulmonary HT is
irreversible bcoz the Rt-to-Lt shunt now serves to decompress
the pulmonary circulation
20. Physiotherapy Treatment :
Pre-operative Treatment :
•Infants with cardiac problem have pulmonary hypertension
associated with excessive secretion leading to repeated chest
infection.
•So chest physiotherapy important that the lung field are clear as
possible prior to the surgery.
Percussion
Shaking and vibrations
Postural drainage
21. Post-operative Treatment :
•Carefully watch the patient’s vital signs at all times.
•As soon as the child is stable, usually use the side lying
position, with care not to disrupt line, wires or infusions.
•In some unit treatment will be on the day of operation, in
others, day after.
•Depends on the type of operation the patient may or may
not be ventilated.
•Patients should be assessed and physiotherapy given as
necessary.
22. •Percussion and vibrations should be avoided if post operative
bleeding is persistent.
•Manual hyperinflation may enhance secretion clearance and
negligible effect on oxygen saturation (Hussey et al,1996).
•Patient’s have small amount of secretions easily removed by
suction alone.
•Early mobilization is important to stimulate deep breathing
and coughing.
•Nasopharyngeal suction may be used in infants and children.
23. Specific consideration:
•Pulmonary HT crises.
Elevation of pulmonary artery pressure which restricts flow through the
lungs.
Air way suction and chest physiotherapy is indicated, inspired
oxygen should be increased & treatment time kept to a minimum.
•Delayed sternal closure
Occasionally post operative closer of sternum is impended by
pulmonary, myocardial or chest wall edema.
If child is stable and if the sternum edges feels, the child can
turned into a side lying position
Manual hyperinflation is well tolerated and gentle posterior and
posterolateral vibrations can be applied.
24. •Phrenic nerve damage
oItis a well-documented complication of pediatric cardiac
surgery(Main,1995).
oInability to wean from mechanical ventilation.
oParadoxical movement is present.
Patient is positioned head up to relive the pressure from the
abdominal viscera
