Of all the various techniques used for imaging just water and fat, the most common one is based on selective frequency excitation of water and fat tissues. This technique is known as Fat Saturation. Esaote’s continuous research for more specialized sequences together with high-speed acquisition, has consequently led to developing a technique for separating water and fat in a single scanning, combined with an appropriately optimized correction of the static magnetic field inhomogeneity. This sequence has been called XBone.

White Paper, Esaote VNAV in Endocrinology
In the last decade, there has been a rapid refinement of the diagnosis of neck thyroid lesions, especially in the field of thyroid disease. Ultrasound plays a fundamental role in the management of thyroid nodules and tumors and in the approach to recurring neck problems after thyroidectomy. Specifically, ultrasound examination is the main tool for the indication of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) of thyroid lesions, suspicious cervical lymph nodes and parathyroid glands. Moreover, besides its diagnostic role, ultrasound is currently used as a guidance procedure for ablative treatment of benign and malignant cervical lesions.
Peripheral nerve ultrasonography in patients with transthyretin amyloidosis
Objective: To systematically study peripheral nerve morphology in patients with transthyretin (TTR)
amyloidosis and TTR gene mutation carriers using high-resolution ultrasonography (US).
Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study we took a structured history, performed neurological
examination, and measured peripheral nerve cross-sectional areas (CSAs) bilaterally at 28 standard locations
using US. Demographic and US findings were compared to controls.
Results: Peripheral nerve CSAs were significantly larger in 33 patients with familial amyloid polyneuropathy
(FAP) compared to 50 controls, most dramatically at the common entrapment sites (median
nerve at the wrist, ulnar nerve at the elbow), and in the proximal nerve segments (median nerve in
the upper arm, sciatic nerve in the thigh). Findings in 21 asymptomatic TTR gene mutation carriers were
less marked compared to controls, with CSAs being larger only in the median nerve in the upper arm.
Nerve CSAs correlated with abnormalities on nerve conduction studies.
Conclusion: Using US, we confirmed previous pathohistological and imaging reports in FAP of the most
pronounced peripheral nerve thickening in the proximal limb segments.
Significance: Similar to US findings in diabetic and vasculitic neuropathies these predominantly proximal
locations of nerve thickening may be attributed to ischaemic nerve damage caused by poor perfusion in
the watershed zones along proximal limb segments.

Vascular Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Risk Prediction & Radiofrequency-based ...
Role of Vascular Biomarkers in
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
The use of cardiovascular biomarkers in conjunction with risk scores
is expected to refine the risk stratification of an individual subject and
to guide his therapy. Biomarker is a characteristic that is objectively
measured and that reflects early functional and structural changes
in cardiovascular system, before overt disease manifestation. Vascular
biomarkers may be particularly informative, as they detect organ
damage in different parts of vascular bed, are measurable in a noninvasive
way, and reflect both aging process and adverse impact of
established cardiovascular risk factors, like plasma lipids, smoking,
high blood pressure, diabetes, inflammation1-2.
Nowadays, several vascular biomarkers have been proposed. According
to a position paper from the European Society of Cardiology
Working Group on peripheral circulation, the choice of vascular
biomarker or a combination depends on the clinical setting and
present comorbidities, and may differ for each individual patient3.
An insight in Eacvi-Ase-Industry Initiative to Standardize Deformation Imaging
Deformation imaging, based on Speckle Tracking techniques, is
a promising technology for the evaluation and quantification of
cardiac mechanics. In particular, during the last decade , a growing
body of scientific evidences has shown that this technology,
can provide incremental information in many clinical settings1,2,3.
However, still the main drawback for a fully clinical exploitation
of the technique is nowadays represented by the perception that
global strain measurements differ between vendors. Reasons for
this potential difference could be found in the different tracking
algorithms, differences in values definition as well as the underestimation
of the impact that some imaging acquisition parameters,
such as the images acquisition FR, Telediastolic triggering
frame positioning, may have on the final results.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnataka
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

ACUTE SCROTUM.....pdf. ACUTE SCROTAL CONDITIOND
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

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.

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

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
