Emphysema is an obstructive lung disease characterized by permanent enlargement of the air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles without significant fibrosis. There are three main types: centriacinar, panacinar, and paraseptal emphysema. The predominant symptoms are dyspnea and cough. Emphysema is usually caused by cigarette smoking and air pollution and presents in older adults. Treatment focuses on smoking cessation, medications, oxygen therapy, surgery, and replacement therapies. The main causes of death relate to respiratory failure and heart disease.

STAGES OF PROGRESSION OF TUBERCULOUS LYMPHADENITIS
The mucose membrane lining of gastrointestinal tract is stratified squamous epithelium at the esophagus which slowly convert into simple columnar epithelium at the stomach until the anus it converts back into the stratified squamous epithelium at the lower half of the anal canal. The stratified epithelium is a wear and tear epithelium.
As it passes down from the small to large intestine, goblet cells increase because as it passes down water was absorb, goblet cells function to produce mucous.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
3. CLINICAL
Emphysema is one of the “obstructive lung diseases” that include:
• Chronic bronchitis
• Bronchiectasis
• Small-airway disease “bronchiolitis”
• Asthma
4. CLINICAL
Obstructive airway disease Restrictive airway disease
General features Increase in resistance to
airflow due to obstruction at
any level
Reduced expansion of lung
parenchyma
Total lung capacity (TLC) Increased Reduced
Forced Expiratory Volume in
one second (FEV1)
Reduced Normal
5. CLINICAL
• Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are often clinically grouped together
and referred to as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• COPD is the 3rd leading cause of global death
• Usually due to cigarette smoking and air pollution
• Usually present in adults (> 45 years old) and more common in males
• Main symptom are dyspnea and cough
6. CLINICAL
Predominant Chronic Bronchitis Predominant Emphysema
Age 40 – 45 years old 50 – 75 years old
Appearance Blue Bloater Pink Buffer
Dyspnea Mild, Late Early, Severe
Cough Early
Copious sputum
Late
Scanty sputum
Infections Common Occasional
Respiratory Insufficiency Repeated Terminal
Cor pulmonale Common Rare, Terminal
Radiology Prominent vessels
Large heart
Hyperinflation
Small heart
Airway Resistance Increased Normal or slightly increased
Elastic Recoil Normal Low
7. CLINICAL
• Emphysema is:
– Permanent enlargement of air spaces
– Distal to the terminal bronchioles (= Acini)
– Due to destruction of the alveolar septa
– Without fibrosis
• Three main types:
Centriacinar Panacinar Paraseptal
% 97% 1% 2%
Affected
segment
Proximal parts of acini
“Respiratory bronchioles = RB”
Entire acini
“RB + alveolar duct + alveoli”
Distal parts of acini
“near septa/pleura”
Lobe Mainly upper lobes Mainly lower lobes Mainly sub-pleura
Cause Smoking α1-antitrypsin deficiency Fibrosis, atelectasis
8. CLINICAL
• Centriacinar emphysema can be seen also in coal workers
pneumoconiosis
• Panacinar emphysema can be seen also in talc IV drug abuse
and in Ritalin use
9. CLINICAL
Lines of treatment:
• Smoking cessation
• Medications (Bronchodilators, Steroids)
• Oxygen therapy and Ventilatory support
• Surgical (Lung volume reduction surgery, Lung transplant)
• Replacement therapy (for alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency)
Main causes of death:
• Coronary artery disease
• Respiratory failure
• Right-sided heart failure
• Massive lung collapse “secondary to pneumothorax”
10. PATHOGENESIS
• Inflammatory mediators
– Smoking stimulate inflammation & inflammatory mediators
• Protease / antiprotease imbalance ( = loss of elastin)
– Smoking increases elastase “protease”
• released from neutrophils
– Smoking decrease of protective antiproteases
– Alpha – 1 antitrypsin deficiency deficiency of antiproteases
• Oxidative stress
– Oxidants are released by smoke substance, damaged tissue, and inflammatory
cells more tissue damage
• Genetic predisposition
– Some people are genetically more susceptible to these factors than others
11. GROSS
• Increased weight and size of lungs
– Overlap “hide” the heart in situ
• Outer surface
– Blebs (< 1 cm) or bullae (> 1 cm)
may be seen
• Cut section
– Large, cystic alveoli
– Anthracosis
• especially in centriacinar type
12. GROSS
• Centriacinar type:
Both emphysematous (E) and normal airspaces
exist within the same acinus and lobule
• Panacinar type:
All airspaces within acini are evenly enlarged
• Paraseptal type:
Subpleural airspaces is mainly affected
14. MICROSCOPY
Histological landmarks of lung acinus:
• Bronchovascular bundle “terminal bronchiole and arteriole”
– In the center of acinus
• Connective tissue septa "secondary lobule of Millar"
– At the periphery of acinus
– Often ambiguous in less inflamed lung
• Helpful to determine emphysema types
– Upper pic Centriacinar
– Lower pic Panacinar
15. MICROSCOPY
Emphysema is characterized by:
• Abnormal enlargement of airspaces
• “Floating” alveolar walls fragments within enlarged airspace
• No or little fibrosis
• Any degrees of chronic inflammation
The pores of Kohn are so large that septa
appear to be floating or protrude blindly
into alveolar spaces with a clubshaped end
17. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Other types of emphysema:
• Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE)
– Coexistence of interstitial fibrosis and emphysema of unknown causes
– Poor prognosis in comparison to pure emphysema or pure lung fibrosis
• Interstitial emphysema
– Air gains access to the pulmonary interstitium to cause air leak and
pneumothorax
– Common in premature infants
• Bullous emphysema
– Formation of multiple bullae > 1 cm with thin wall to cause pneumothorax
18. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Other types of emphysema:
• Senile emphysema
– Due to age related alteration of acini
• Irregular emphysema
– Occurs in relation to scars
• Congenital lobar emphysema
– Hyperinflation of one or more lobes due to malformation of bronchioles
– Causes respiratory distress
20. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
O t h e r c o n g e n i t a l / c y s t i c l u n g d i s e a s e s :
• Congenital:
– Bronchogenic cysts
– Congenital pulmonary cysts
– Congenital pulmonary airway malformation
– Congenital lobar emphysema
– Pulmonary sequestration
• Acquired:
– Healed abscess
– Honeycombing
• Mixed:
– Cystic fibrosis
No destruction of alveoli
Fibrosis
21. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Autolysis and inadequate fixation
• Similar gross and microscopic appearance can be seen due to
inadequate inflation or fixation of the specimen with formalin
– Clinical history
– Other smoking-associated conditions
Favor emphysema
22. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Vs Emphysema?
• Women of reproductive age
• Multiple cysts and blebs of the lung
– Mural thickening around some cystic spaces
– Chylous pleural effusion
• Interstitial proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells around airways and
blood vessels
– Tumor cells are positive for HMB45
• Other Tuberous Sclerosis-Associated lesions (e.g. PEComas)
23. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Placental transmogrification of the lung
• Very rare disease
• Mainly seen in middle-aged males
• Historically considered a microscopic variant
of emphysema
• Solitary giant bullous
– With/without solid nodules
• Papillary/villous structures resembling chorionic villi within cystic space
– Villi cores contain fat cells and primitive mesenchymal clear cells
• Can be associated with pulmonary fibrochondromatous hamartomas
