Cardiomyopathy, or heart muscle disease, is a type of progressive heart disease in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, thickened, and/or stiffened. As a result, the heart muscle's ability to pump blood is less efficient, often causing heart failure and the backup of blood into the lungs or rest of the body. The disease can also cause abnormal heart rhythms.
Rheumatic heart disease is a condition in which the heart valves have been permanently damaged by rheumatic fever. The heart valve damage may start shortly after untreated or under-treated streptococcal infection such as strep throat or scarlet fever.

Polices for intensive care units / critical care units ANILKUMAR BR
What is a Policy?
A Policy is a statement, verbal, written or implied, of those principles and rules that are set by Board of Directors as guidelines on organizations actions.
There should be written polices for the intensive care units or critical care units which will guide the personnel working there.
The polices making body, there should be representation from administrative team, medical team and the nursing team.
ADMISSION POLICES: This should specify whether the patients can be admitted directly to CCU /ICU or through the casualty department.
There should be polices regarding the admission of medico-legal cases.
RESUSCIATION EQUIPMENTS IN INTENSISIVE CARE UNITSANILKUMAR BR
Intensive care unit (ICU) equipment includes patient monitoring, respiratory and cardiac support, pain management, emergency resuscitation devices, and other life support equipment .
They are designed to care for patients who are seriously injured, have a critical or life-threatening illness, or have undergone a major surgical procedure thereby requiring 24-hour care and monitoring.
Intensive care unit equipment includes
Patient monitoring devices
Life support and emergency resuscitation devices, and
Diagnostic devices.
Nursing management of critically ill patient in intensive care unitsANILKUMAR BR
Critical care nursing: it is the field of nursing with a focus on the utmost care of the critically ill (or) unstable patients.
Critically ill patients : critically ill patients are those who are at risk for actual (or) potential life threatening health problems.
Admission QGeneral appearance (consciousness)
Airway: Patency Position of artificial airway (if present)

Circulation and Cerebral Perfusion: ECG (rate, rhythm, and presence of ectopy) Blood pressure Peripheral pulses and capillary refill Skin, color, temperature, moisture Presence of bleeding Level of consciousness, responsiveness.
quick Check Assessment in CCU.
Infection control protocols in intensive care unitsANILKUMAR BR
Hospital acquired infections (HAIs) are common in intensive care unit (ICU) patient and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
The main reason being severity of illness, interruption of normal defense mechanism (e.g. mechanical ventilation), malnutrition & inability to ambulate make it more susceptible to multi drug resistant organism (MDRO).
The most frequent mode of transmission is Contact transmission, this may be direct or indirect other modes include droplet transmission, airborne transmission, common vehicle such as ventilator etc.
Abnormal development or deformities of the ear anatomy can cause a range of complications, from cosmetic issues to hearing and development problems.
An estimated 6 to 45 percent of children are born with some sort of congenital ear deformity.
Normally, the pleural space contains a small amount of fluid (5 to 15 mL), which acts as a lubricant that allows the pleural surfaces to move without friction.
But if fluid builds up from either increased production or inadequate removal pleural effusion results.
Pleural effusion B/L or unilateral (parapneumonic process)
Refers to any significant collection of fluid within pleural space.
Any imbalance in formation, absorption lead accumulation of pleural fluid. Common condition:
CHF
Bacterial pneumonia
Malignancy(chest tumor)
Pulmonary embolism
Pleura effusion is a condition refers to a collection of fluid in the pleural space. It is almost secondary to other conditions.
Hearing is one of our primary modes of communication. 360 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss.
Hearing loss may result from genetic causes, complications at birth, certain infectious diseases, chronic ear infections, the use of particular drugs, exposure to excessive noise and ageing.
Hearing loss may be mild, moderate, severe or profound.
It can affect one ear or both ears, and leads to difficulty in hearing conversational speech or loud sounds. it may occur in one or both ear.

There are many types of cancer treatment. The types of treatment that patient receive will depend on the type of cancer, stage of cancer and how advanced it is.
Some people with cancer will have only one treatment. But most people have a combination of treatments, such as surgery with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
Prostate cancer or tumor is the most common cancer in men other than non-melanoma skin cancer.
The majority (more than 75%) of cases occur in men over age 65.
Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor of the prostate gland.
Nursing management of patients with oncological conditionsANILKUMAR BR
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells.
Cancer is caused by external factors and internal factors which may act together to initiate or promote carcinogenesis.
External Factors - chemicals, radiation, viruses, and lifestyle.
Internal Factors – hormones, immune condition, and inherited mutations.
Oncology branch of medicine deals with etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer.
Onco - is a Greek word meaning tumor .
A group of eye disorders, glaucoma is characterized by high intraocular pressure (IOP) that damages the optic nerve.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world and is the leading cause of blindness among adults in the United States.
Glaucoma may occur as primary or congenital disease or secondary to other causes, such as injury, infection, surgery, or prolonged use of topical corticosteroids.
Primary glaucoma has mainly two forms :
1. Open angle glaucoma ( chronic, simple, or wide angle glaucoma)
2. Angle –closure glaucoma( Acute or narrow angle glaucoma)
Angle –closure glaucoma occurs suddenly and may cause permanent or irreversible vision loss in 48 to 72 hours.
An inflammation of the conjunctiva commonly known as pink eye. Conjunctivitis is usually acute condition and self- limiting.
Conjunctivitis may be unilateral or bilateral.
It may also be chronic, possibly indicating degenerative changes or damage from repeated attacks.

Nursing assessment and management of patients with hepatic disordersANILKUMAR BR
Liver or Hepatic disorders are common and may result from a virus or exposure to toxic substances such as alcohol.
Another liver disorder is cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma is a highly malignant tumor that is difficult to treat and often fatal.
Liver function is complex, and liver dysfunction affects all body systems.
For this reason, the nurse must understand how the liver functions and must have expert assessment and clinical management skills to care for patients undergoing complex diagnostic and treatment procedures.
The liver plays additional roles in detoxification of chemicals and synthesis and storage of important nutrients and The liver is especially important in the regulation of glucose and protein metabolism .
Ototoxicity is, quite simply, ear poisoning (oto = ear, toxicity = poisoning), which results from exposure to drugs or chemicals that damage the inner ear or the vestibulo-cochlear nerve (the nerve sending balance and hearing information from the inner ear to the brain).
Nursing assessment and Management clients with Pancreatic disordersANILKUMAR BR
The pancreas, located in the upper abdomen, has endocrine as well as exocrine functions .
The secretion of pancreatic enzymes into the gastrointestinal tract through the pancreatic duct represents its exocrine function.
The secretion of insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin directly into the bloodstream represents its endocrine function.
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) is a serious disorder. The most basic classification system used to describe or categorize the various stages and forms of pancreatitis divides the disorder into acute or chronic forms.
Acute pancreatitis can be a medical emergency associated with a high risk for life-threatening complications and mortality, whereas chronic pancreatitis often goes undetected until 80% to 90% of the exocrine and endocrine tissue is destroyed.
Acute pancreatitis does not usually lead to chronic pancreatitis unless complications develop.
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma caused by various microorganisms, including bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Pneumonitis is a more general term that describes the inflammatory process in the lung tissue that may predispose and Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma that is caused by a microbial agent.
place the patient at risk for microbial invasion.
Pneumonia is classified into four: community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), pneumonia in the immunocompromised host, and aspiration pneumonia.
Nurses are primarily involved in the administration of medication across various settings. Nurses are also involved in both dispensing and preparation of medication. Research on medical administration errors (MAEs) shows an error rate of 60%, 34 mainly in the form of wrong time, wrong rate, or wrong dose.
There are many ways to prevent medication errors and one way of which is understanding the 10 “rights” of drug administration:
Thoracentesis (thor-a-sen-tee-sis) is a procedure that is done to remove a sample of fluid from around the lung.
The lung is covered with a tissue called the pleura. The inside of the chest is also lined with pleura.
The space between these two areas is called the pleural space.
This space normally contains just a thin layer of fluid, however, some conditions such as pneumonia, some types of cancer, or congestive heart failure may cause excessive fluid to develop (pleural effusion).
Thoracentesis, also known as pleural fluid analysis, is a procedure in which a needle is inserted through the back of the chest wall into the pleural space (a space that exists between the two lungs and the anterior chest wall) to remove fluid or air.
Pleural fluid analysis is the microscopic and chemical lab analysis of the fluid obtained during thoracentesis.
IndDiagnostic: determination of pleural effusion etiology (e.g. transudative versus exudative) usually requires the removal of 50 to 100mL of pleural fluid for laboratory studies. Most new effusions require diagnostic thoracentesis, an exception being a new effusion with a clear clinical diagnosis (e.g. CHF) with no evidence for superimposed pleural space infection
Therapeutic: reduce dyspnea and respiratory compromise in patients with large pleural effusions. This is typically achieved by removing a much larger volume of fluid compared to the diagnostic thoracentesis

Nephrotic syndrome may be caused by primary (idiopathic) renal disease or by a variety of secondary causes. Patients present with marked edema, proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and often hyperlipidemia.
Nephrotic syndrome is a primary glomerular disease characterized by the following:
Marked increase in protein in the urine (proteinuria)
Decrease in albumin in the blood (hypoalbuminemia)
Edema (The swelling (edema), can be most noticeable on the face, around the eyes, around the feet and ankles, and in the belly area (or the abdomen).
High serum cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins (hyperlipidemia)
Nephrotic syndrome is a clinical disorder characterized by marked increase of protein in the urine ( proteinuria ), decrease in albumin in the blood (hypoalbuminemia ),edema, & excess lipids in the blood ( hyperlipidemia )
Pathophysiology
Nephrotic syndrome can occur with almost any intrinsic renal disease or systemic disease that affects the glomerulus.
Although generally considered a disorder of childhood, nephrotic syndrome does occur in adults, including the elderly. Causes include:
Chronic glomerulonephritis
Diabetes mellitus with intercapillary glomerulosclerosis
Amyloidosis of the kidney
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Multiple myeloma and renal vein thrombosis.

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

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

3. OVERVEIW
Cardiovascular disease are becoming a leading cause
of morbidity and mortality in developed countries and
they are also emerging as prominent national health
problem in developing countries.
Coronary artery disease has become the major cause of
early death and disability in the population.
4. Introduction
Normal functioning of heart is based on a
balance between adequate oxygen supply
and oxygen demand.
The function as an effective pump, the
heart muscle must be adequately supplied
with blood from the coronary arteries.
5. Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Coronary artery disease (CAD) can also be used
interchangeably with the terms atherosclerotic heart
disease or ischemic heart disease.
All of these terms imply insufficient perfusion of the
coronary arteries from an abnormal narrowing of the
vessels, leading to insufficient oxygen delivery to the
myocardial tissue.
6. CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROSIS: The most common
heart disease in the United States is atherosclerosis,
which is an abnormal accumulation of lipid, or fatty,
substances and fibrous tissue in the vessel wall.
These substances create blockages or narrow the vessel
in a way that reduces blood flow to the myocardium.
7. Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Coronary artery disease comprises a variety of clinical
problems resulting from an inadequate oxygenation of
myocardium.
For the heart function normally, it must have an
adequate blood supply.
Myocardium receives its blood supply from two
coronary arteries.
8. In Coronary heart disease atherosclerosis
develops in the coronary arteries, causing
them to be become narrowed or blocked.
When a coronary artery is narrowed or
blocked partially or completely, the blood
flow to the area of the heart supplied by
that artery is reduced.
9. If the remaining blood flow is
inadequate to meet the oxygen
demand of the heart the area may
become ischemic and injured and
further complications will be occur.
10. Definition… ….
The term coronary heart disease, also
known as coronary artery disease or
Ischemic heart disease, is a condition
refers to diseases of the heart that
result from a decrease in blood
supply to the heart muscle.
24. PATHOPHYSILOGY
Due to risk factors
Atherosclerosis primarily affects the intima
of the arterial wall and normally takes years
to develop and is a gradual process.
The continued development of
atherosclerosis involves an inflammatory
response, which begins with injury to the
vascular endothelium.
25. Continue… ..
The injury may be initiated by smoking, HTN
and other factors.
The blockage of CA when partially or completely
it will cause inadequate blood and oxygen
supply to the heart muscle. It causing the
ruptured plaque,is contributing for thrombus
formation.
The thrombus may then obstruct blood flow,
leading to sudden Cardiac death and AMI.
26. Preventions
Four modifiable risk factors—cholesterol
abnormalities, cigarette smoking (tobacco use),
hypertension, and diabetes mellitus— have been
cited as major risk factors for CAD and its consequent
complications.
27. Preventions… … …
Modified or control the major
modifiable risk factors is a major
aspects.
Normalize blood cholesterol levels
Cessation of smoking
Managing Hypertension
Maintain near normal blood glucose
levels.
29. Improve physical activity
Physical Activity. Regular, moderate physical
activity increases HDL levels and reduces
triglyceride levels.
The goal for the average person is a total of 30
minutes of exercise, three to four times per week.
30. Medications
Medications are used in some instances to control
cholesterol levels.
If diet alone cannot normalize serum cholesterol levels,
several medications have a synergistic effect with the
prescribed diet.
31. Clinical manifestations… … .
CAD or atherosclerosis produces
symptoms and complications according
to the location and degree of narrowing
of the coronary arteries, level of
thrombus formation and obstruction of
the bloodflow to the myocardium.
33. Assessment and diagnostic
findings
History collection ( Family history
of CAD, any history of HTN , DM and
nutritional history.)
Complete physical examination
ECG
Ecocardiogram
Cardiac stress test
Cardiac catheterization
34. Medical management… … .
The primary goals of management
patients with CAD are reducing and
controlling risk factors and restoring
blood supply to the myocardium.
35. Reducing the risk factors
Primary prevention.
1. Healthy lifestyle.
2. Education.
3. Smoking cessation.
4. Dietary habits changes
5. Physical exercise.
6. Periodic health check up and Etc
36. Restore blood
supply… ..
Various techniques have been developed
to open the vessels and restore blood
flow through the coronary arteries.
PCI (Percutaneous coronary interventions.
37. PCI (Percutaneous coronary
interventions)
It is a Invasive intetventional procedure to
treat angina and CAD include:
1. PTCA ( Percutaneous translumenal
coronary angioplasty)
2. Intracoronary Stent implantation
3. Atherectomy and brachytherapy
4. CABG ( Coronary artery bypass graft)
38. Pharmacologic therapy
Organic nitrates (isosorbide,
Mononitriate and denigrate.)
Beta blockers (reducing Cardiac work load
and oxygen demand.
( e.g propranolol, Amano lol
and timolol)
39. Pharmacologic therapy continue.
Calcium channel blockers (reduce the
total coronary flow by blocking beta2
receptors. (nifedipine, amlodipine)
Aspirin or antiplatelet (improve the rate of
survival in patients with AMI and reduce
risk of MI in patients with AP and after
recovery from MI.
42. Atherectomy
Atherectomy is an Invasive
intetventional procedure that involves
the removal of the atheroma or
plaque, from a coronary artery by
cutting, shaving, or grinding.
