This document provides guidance on performing a thorough history and physical examination for pediatric patients with suspected cardiovascular disease. Key aspects to assess include symptoms, timing of onset, family history, pre/postnatal history, examination of pulse, blood pressure, jugular venous pressure, precordial examination including auscultation of heart sounds and murmurs. Specific congenital heart defects should be considered based on findings. Investigations may be needed to confirm diagnoses suggested on examination. A careful and comprehensive physical exam is essential for evaluating pediatric cardiac patients.
This file was made while my course of studying pediatrics at college,intednded to make the cardiology lessons more organized and easier to study and memorize. And I do hope it will be useful to the other medical students who read it.

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.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Expiration has the opposite effect
85. Valsalva manouvre:
It is an attempted forced expiration in closed
glottis, when both the mouth and nose are closed.
It increases the intrathoracic pressure
Murmur of MVP becomes louder
Systolic murmur of HOCM become louder
ESM of AS will be decreases
86. Standing to squatting:
It increases blood return and systemic vascular
resistance.
HOCM becomes soft due to increased diastolic
volume.
Isometric hand grip:
Increases systemic circulation
Murmurs of regurgitation ( MR,VSD) become louder
due to back pressure
Murmurs of AS become softer due to decreased
gradient across the valve.
