Tasleem Akhtar, a 50-year old female, presented with post-prandial vomiting, abdominal pain, and constipation. Imaging showed signs of intestinal obstruction. She underwent exploratory laparotomy, which found a stricture in the sigmoid colon due to a hard mass. A segment of the sigmoid colon was resected along with the mass. Histopathology revealed colorectal cancer. She was diagnosed with colorectal cancer affecting the sigmoid colon.
A multidisciplinary approach that includes surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology is required for optimal treatment of patients with rectal cancer
In this PPT presentation I try to teach many causes of Abdominal pain in various quadrants of the abdomen. Since it is individual case based teaching i concentrate only in the essential minimum an undergraduate medical student should know and you will have immersive learning experience.

Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age

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.
Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
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

and large gut seen
21. On 13th jan, her exploratory laparotomy was
performed. Her per-op findings were:
An Omental band near ileocecal junction
Sigmoid stricuture and a hard fixed mass
involving sigmoid colon
Enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes
22. Omental band was released
Tumor identified and 8-10cm of sigmoid colon was
resected along with it and sample was sent for
histopathology
Proximal end was brought out as end colostomy and
dital stump was closed using silk suture (Hartman’s
Procedure)
1 pelvic drain was placed
Haemostasis secured and patient was sent back to
ward
23.
24. The large intestine
is approximately
1.5 mlong
The large intestine
begins at the
ileocaecal valve and
extends to the
anus.
25. Cancer effecting:
Caecum
Colon
Rectum
Anal canal and appendix are not considered
in the definition, and are treated as separate
entities
26. Epidemiology
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause
of cancer-related deaths after lung cancer
5-year survival rate : 55%.
The most lethal GI malignant diseases in the
Western world.
Is preventable and is highly curable if
detected early
27.
28. Early stages of colorectal cancer may have NO
signs or symptoms.
If signs and symptoms are present, they may
include:
Bleeding from the rectum or blood in the
stool
Marked change in bowel habits
Abdominal mass
Abdominal cramps or pain
Iron deficiency anemia that is not due to
other conditions
34. Tumor markers:
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)
CA 19-9
Can also be raised in
Not used to diagnose or screen colorectal
carcinoma. They’re rather used in pre-
diagnosed pts along with other investigations
Can also be used to monitor response to
treatment
37. If there is a
suspiscion of
colorectal carcinoma,
Biospy is taken
during colonoscopy
or flexible
simoidoscopy and
specimen is sent for
histopathalogy
38. Chest X-ray: Mets in lungs
Ultrasonography
Contrast enhaced CT-Scan and MRI Scan
These investigations are helpful to identify
if tumor has spread into surrounding
structures and into distant abdominal visceras
39.
40.
41. Dukes’ staging for colorectal cancer
●● A: invasion of but not breaching the muscularis
propria
●● B: breaching the muscularis propria but not
involving lymph nodes
●● C: lymph nodes involved.
D: Distant mets
42. Surgery is mainstay treatment of both palliative
and curative management of ca colon
It is necessary that tumor and 2 cm tumor free
margins should be resected
Following are various types of resections
depending upon the location of tumor:
43. For carcinoma of
cecum and ascending
colon
Cecum, ascending
colon, hepatic
flexure, proximal 3rd
of transverse colon is
resected
Anastomosis is made
between ileum and
transverse colon
44. Done for Ca of
hepatic flexure and
transverse colon
Rt. Hemicolectomy+
whole of transverse
colon and splenic
flexure
Anastomosis is made
between ileum and
descending colon
45. Splenic flexure,
Descending colon and
sigmoid colon
Distal 2/3rd of
transverse colon,
descending colon and
sigmoid colon are
removed and colorectal
anastomosis is created
46. Tumor of upper 2/3rd is treated with Anterior
resection
Tumor of distal 3rd is treated with
Abdominoperineal resection
HARTMAN’S PROCEDURE: In this procedure
rectum is excised, distal stump is closed and
proximal stump is brought out as End
colostomy
47. Advanced carcinoma of rectum which is fixed
and un-resectable is managed by palliative
procedures such as Colostomy to relieve the
obstruction and chemo/radiotherapy to
shrink the tumor
48. Given in stage III and IV patients
It has no survival benefits in stage 1 and II
5-Fluorouracil in combination with Folinic
acid is most frequently used
Neo adjuvant chemo is sometimes used in
non-operable cases to shrink the size of
tumor and make them operable
49. Limited role in colorectal carcinoma
Can be given pre-operatively or post op. to
reduce risk of local recurrence
Has also some role in combination therapy
with chemo as neo-adjuvant. Used to shrink
size of tumor preoperatively
