This document discusses arterial aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). It defines aneurysms as abnormal focal dilations of vessels over 50% in diameter from adjacent vessels. The main danger of aneurysms is rupture leading to uncontrolled hemorrhage. Aneurysms are classified based on structure, morphology, and anatomy. Abdominal aortic aneurysms are the most common type and their risk of rupture increases with size. Treatment depends on symptoms, size, location and complications. AVMs are direct connections between arteries and veins bypassing capillaries, which can cause hemorrhage, ischemia, and increased intracranial pressure. Investigation involves imaging modalities and management includes surgical resection or embolization.

Diagnosis and radiological management of varicose veinsarfraj Ahmad
Varicose veins are abnormally dilated and twisted veins, most commonly occurring in the legs. They are caused by valve incompetence in the veins allowing blood to pool. Duplex ultrasound is the primary imaging method used to evaluate varicose veins and assess reflux. Endovenous ablation techniques like radiofrequency and laser ablation are now preferred over traditional surgical stripping and ligation due to lower risk of complications. These ablative procedures involve inserting a catheter under ultrasound guidance and using heat energy to seal the vein.
The retropharyngeal space is a potential space located posterior to the pharynx that contains areolar fat and lymph nodes. It allows for movement of the pharynx during swallowing and respiration. Lesions and fluid collections like abscesses or hematomas can develop in this space. Imaging like CT scans are useful for evaluating these conditions. Retropharyngeal abscesses require prompt treatment with antibiotics and drainage to prevent airway complications. Lymph nodes in this region can metastasize early from cancers like nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec

How to find heart rhytm of the heart?
Regular rhytm:
Irregular rhytm:
More than or less than 4
How to find heart rate using ECG?
If heart Rhytm is Regular :
Heart rate =
300/No.of large b/w 2 QRS complex
= 300/4
=75 beats/mins
How to find heart rate using ECG?
If heart Rhytm is irregular:
Heart rate = 10×No.of QRS complex in 6 sec 5large box = 1sec
5×6=30
10×7 = 70 Beats/min
Abnormalities of ECG:
Cardiac Arrythmias:
1.Tachycardia
Heart Rate more than 100 beats/min

Digital Health in India_Health Informatics Trained Manpower _DrDevTaneja_15.0...DrDevTaneja1
Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.
