Congenital heart disease is a major concern for pediatricians. It affects around 8 in 1000 live births, with 3 in 1000 considered "critical" cases requiring early intervention. Life-threatening forms may not present obvious symptoms initially, making diagnosis difficult. Early recognition through a high index of suspicion is key to reducing mortality and morbidity. Certain heart defects can cause cardiovascular collapse if not treated emergently in the neonatal period. The diagnosis and management of ductus-dependent heart disease is especially challenging.
Congenital heart disease is one or more problems with the heart's structure that exist since birth. Congenital means that you're born with the defect. Congenital heart disease, also called congenital heart defect, can change the way blood flows through your heart. IF YOU LIKE GIVE YOUR LIKES AND FOLLOW THIS LINK

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
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

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.
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

Clinical manifestations
Dyspnea
• Lung or heart problems?
• Large shunt lesions:dyspnea, tachypnea, feeding
difficulty, irritability and distress.
• Ventilator weaning can be difficult in premature infants
with large left to right cardiac shunts.
Cyanosis with markedly reduced pulmonary
blood flow usually leads to "quiet tachypnea”,
without significant respiratory distress.

Diagnosis
Chest x ray
• Usually performed to rule out pulmonary disease as
well as to evaluate pulmonary vascular marking and
cardiomegaly.
• Some CHD has characteristic features
• Most of the serious CHD have no specific findings
except vague cardiomegaly, change of pulmonary
vascular marking and subtle finding of pulmonary
venous congestion.

Diagnosis
Electrocardiography
EKG has been considered a useful tool in the diagnosis of
CHD,especially if echocardiogram is not easily available.
Ventricular maturation and associated ECG changes
• The fetal heart is right-side dominant
• Right axis deviation and R wave dominance in lead V1 and S wave
dominance in lead V6.
• At 3 e 6 months the classical left ventricular dominance pattern of
adulthood is established as ventricular hypertrophy occurs in
response to increased systemic vascular resistance.

Echocardiography
Echocardiogram is the most valuable
method in the diagnosis of CHD.

Identification of cardiac anatomy
Assessment of systolic ventricular function
Measurement of chamber dimensions and wall thickness
Assess the pressure gradients across the stenotic or regurgitation flow
through the valves
Assess abnormal cardiac physiology
Flow in the descending aorta
Estimation of pulmonary arterial pressure

Diagnosis
Cardiac Catheterization
• The diagnostic frequency of cardiac catheterization is
relatively decreasing especially in the neonate.
• It is still the key in defining certain anatomic variants
difficult to be delineated by echocardiography alone
• Therapeutic catheterizations are considered as one of
the life savingmodalities in some fields.

Clinical Presentation
• peak incidence age: 3 to 6 months
• often in the morning, can be precipitated by crying,
feeding or defecation
• severe cyanosis, hyperpnoea, metabolic acidosis
• in severe cases, may lead to syncope, seizure, stroke or
death
• there is a reduced intensity of systolic murmur during spell

Management
• treat this as a medical emergency
• knee-chest/squatting position:
- place the baby on the mother’s shoulder with the knees tucked up
underneath.
- this provides a calming effect, reduces systemic venous return
and increases systemic vascular resistance
• administer 100% oxygen
• give IV/IM/SC morphine 0.1 – 0.2 mg/kg to reduce
distress and hyperpnoea

Management
• IV Propranolol 0.05 – 0.1 mg/kg
• IV Esmolol 0.5 mg/kg slow bolus over 1 min,
followed by 0.05 mg/kg/min for 4 mins.
• volume expander, crystalloid, 20 ml/kg rapid IV push to
increase preload
• give IV sodium bicarbonate 1 mEq/kg to correct metabolic
acidosis
• heavy sedation, intubation and mechanical ventilation

• a single episode of hypercyanotic spell is an
indication for early surgical referral
(either total repair or Blalock Taussig shunt)
• oral propranolol 0.2 – 1 mg/kg/dose 8 to 12 hourly
should be started soon after stabilization while
waiting for surgical intervention.

•Routine neonatal examination fails to detect more than
half of babies with heart disease
•High index of suspicion is essential to decision making
•“not doing well”
•Any neonate in shock that does not respond to fluids or
pressors has LV outflow obstruction until proven otherwise
•If you think you have a ductal dependent lesion
PGE1 must be started immediately
(don’t be afraid of prostin)
