Chyluria is a condition characterized by the presence of chyle or fatty lymph in the urine, causing it to appear milky white. It is most commonly caused by filarial infections in parts of Africa and India. The condition results from obstruction or insufficiency of the lymphatic system, causing retrograde flow of lymph into the urinary tract. Diagnosis involves urine tests to detect triglycerides and lymph. Treatment options include medication to treat underlying causes, sclerotherapy to scar lymphatic vessels, and surgery such as lymphatic disconnection or lymph node-vein anastomosis if more conservative treatments fail.

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.

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.

2. Def:- Chyluria is recognized as a urological manifestation of
lymphatic system abnormality characterized by presence
of chyle in urine which results white appearing urine.
Epidemiology-
• Prevalent among of Africa& Indian subcontinent.
• Mostly due to filariasis.
• Rare in Western countries and mostly due to post-
operative.
• Common age group- 2nd or 3rd decade of life.
• Male: female- 6: 1.
• Left sided kidney is mostly affected.
3. History of hypothesis-
• Prout (1841)-secretion of fat from blood through
kidney.
• Ackerman (1863)- Blockage of major lymphatics
or thoracic duct- retrograde flow of lymph from
gut into lumen of urinary tract.
• Wucherer (1869)- Presence of microfilaria in
blood and urine.
• Manson-Bahr (1954)-Rapture of lymph varix
anywhere in urinary tract leading to escape of
lymph in urine.
6. • It is basically a disease of lymphatic system.
• Sceondarily involves Urinary system.
• Obstruction or insufficiency of vulvular system
> retrograde flow of lymph >vericosities >
rapture of lymphatic channel to pyelocaleceal
system.
7. Etiology
Classification of chyluria based on
etiological factors
Parasitic (primary-tropical)
• Wuchereria bancrofti (90%)
• Taenia echinococcus
• Taenia nana
• Ankylostomiasis
• Trichiniasis
• Malarial parasites
10. Grading
1. Mild chyluria- Intermittent milky urine.
-No clot colic/ AUR/ wt. loss.
-Involvment of single calyx on RGP.
2.Moderate chyluria-Intermittent milky urine.
-occasional clot colic/no AUR or wt.loss.
-Involvment of 2or more calyx on RGP.
3.Severe chyluria- Continuous milky urine.
-presence of clot colic/AUR/wt. loss.
-Involvment of most of calyx with or without
involvment of ureter on RGP.
11. INVESTIGATION
• Aims- Confirmation of presence of chyle in urine.
-Identification of communication.
-Findout the etiology.
Modalities: 1.urine examination.
2.blood examination.
3.cystourethroscopy.
4.RGP.
5.lymphangiography.
6.lymphangioscintigraphy.
7.USG/IVU/CT scan/ MRI.
12. • Urine:
Macroscopic- milky white in colour.
-on standing- 3 layers, upper
fat,middle fibrin,lower cells.
-Ether test- positive.
-Sudan 3 test- positive.
Microscopic- To exclude pyeuria
,tuberculosis(AFB),phosphaturia.
Biochemical- presence of triglycerides: confirm
-Albuminuria
13. • BLOOD: eosinophilia
: TLC-raised
:ELISA- for detection of filarial
antibodies.
:LFT-hypo albuminemia.
14. • CYSTOURETHROSCOPY:
-help to localize the side of lesion.
-ureteric catheterization and split urinanalysis
may be done.
-Rarely chylous efflux may be seen from
bladder or post. Urethra.
15. • RGP:
-Help to demonstrate pyelo-lymphatic back
flow.
-ureteric catheterization upto pelvis should be
done.
-spot film should be taken.
-patient is placed in head down position.
-Gravity propagated contrast instillation should
be done.
16. • LYMPHANGIOGRAPHY:
-previously it was the investigation of choice.
-At present it is not done routinely as it is time
consuming & invasive.
LYMPHANGIOSCINTIGRAPHY:
-It is useful, noninvasive,safe procedure.
-Localizes communication site.
-Indicated when RGP fails to demonstrate.
17. • USG/ IVU/ CT SCAN/ MRI:
-Not routinely recommended.
-MR urography recommended in low down
fistula (lower ureter/bladder/urethra)

24. MANAGMENT
• Chyluria should be considered as filarial cause untill prove
otherwise.
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT:
-Bed rest
-Dietary Modification
-Nutritional support if required
-Analgesic & antipyretic if needed
-Antifilarial drugs: DEC-6mg/kg-14d
:Ivermectin-400micgm/kg
:Albendazole-400mg
-Usage of abdominal belt
Spontaneous remission occurs within 6 months- mostly
27. • PROCEDURE:
- Cystoscopy with ureteric catheterization.
- Catheter must reach renal pelvis.
-Should be done aseptically with antibiotic coverage.
- Patient should be placed head down position.
- Gravity propagated instillation of sclerosant should be
done.
- Catheter is clamped for 45 min.and then released.
- Patient should be monitored closely.
- Done 8 hourly for 3 days.
31. Lympho-venous anastomosis
This is the most physiological method of surgical correction for
recurrent chyluria.
• The procedure increases the drainage of lymph into venous
system, which rapidly decreases the intralymphatic pressure.
Thus facilitating the healing of pyelo-lymphatic fistulae.
• The procedure is technically cumbersome as lymphatics are
difficult to identify, lymphatic channels are thin, brittle and
liable to collapse, which requires microsurgical expertise.
Retro-peritoneal lympho-venous anastomosis
The technique was described by Cockett and Goodwin
Trans-inguinal spermatic lympho-venous anastomosis
Xu et al shows 60% while Zhao et al reported 76.3% success
rate.
32.
33. Inguinal lymph node-saphenous vein
anastomosis
lymphnodo-venous anastomoses is made according to the
principles of lymphovenous shunt.
• A conical tissue of lymph node close to the greater
saphenous vein in the inguinal region is removed and the
remaining tunnel-shaped node is anastomosed to the vein to
drain the lymph into the venous system.
• Hou et al 85.7% effective rate.
• This operation avoids damage to both the afferent and
efferent lymphatic vessels and affords a large anastomotic
stoma for free passage of the lymph into the vein.
