During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), there is a need to balance anticoagulation to prevent clots on the bypass circuit and restore hemostasis after surgery. The activated clotting time (ACT) is used to monitor the effects of heparin anticoagulation during CPB. Protamine is administered after CPB to neutralize heparin and restore normal coagulation, but can cause hypotension in some patients. Careful monitoring of anticoagulation and hemostasis is important during cardiac surgery requiring CPB.

Brief overview of Haematostasis & its players. Haemostasis is divided into 4 different stages. The first 2 stages are called Primary Haemostasis & Secondary Haemostasis, and the third stage is the natural anticoagulants at its work to stop the propagation of thrombosis and final stage is Fibrinolysis.

The Norwood procedure is the first of three surgeries required to treat single-ventricle conditions such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Because the left side of the heart can’t be fixed, the series of surgeries rebuilds other parts of the heart.
The Norwood procedure is performed in the baby’s first or second week of life.to redirect the blood flow.
Three goals for the Norwood procedure:
1, Build a new aorta.
2, Direct blood from the right ventricle through the new aorta and on to the rest of the body.
3, Direct the right ventricle to pump blood to the lungs until the next surgery.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. Introduction
• The hemostatic management of patients undergoing
cardiac surgery is a complex issue because there exists
the need to maintain a delicate balance between
• Anticoagulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
• Hemostasis after CPB.
• These two opposing goals must be managed carefully
and modified with respect to the patient’s initial
hematologic status, specific timing during cardiac
surgery, and desired hemostatic outcome.
3. Introduction
• During CPB, optimal anticoagulation dictates
that coagulation be antagonized and platelets
be prevented from activating so that
microvascular clots do not form on the
extracorporeal circuit.
• After surgery, coagulation abnormalities,
platelet dysfunction, and fibrinolysis can
occur, creating a situation whereby hemostatic
integrity must be restored.
4. Normal coagulation pathway
• The various coagulation factors participate in a
series of activating reactions that end with the
formation of an insoluble clot.
• The whole process of clot formation can be
divided into
Contact phase
Intrinsic pathway
Extrinsic pathway
Common pathway
5. Contact phase
• The damaged vascular surface exposes the
collegen matrix which initiates the surface
activation of coagulation proteins
• Factor XII binds with negatively charged collagen
material and is autoactivated to factor XIIa.
• High molecular weight kininogen ( HMWK) binds
prekallikrein and factor XI to surface.
• Factor XIIa splits factor XI to form factor XIa and
prekallikrein to form kallikrein.
6. Intrinsic pathway
• The net result of intrinsic pathway is
formation of factor Xa from product of surface
activation.
• Factor XIa converts factor IX to form factor IXa
in presence of Ca++.
• Factor IXa then activates factor X in presence
of Ca++ and factor VIIIa.
7. Extrinsic pathway
• Activation of factor X can also be achieved
independently by substances extrinsic to the
vasculature.
• Thromboplastin released from the tissues act
as a cofactor to activate factor X by factor VII,
Ca++ is also required for this process.
8. Common pathway
• Factor Xa split prothrombin to thrombin, Ca++
and factor Va are required for this process.
• Thrombin split the fibrinogen molecule to
form soluble fibrin monomer.
• Factor XIII, activated thrombin, crosslinks
these fibrin strands to form a clot.
9. Fibrinolysis
• Fibrinolysis is dissolution of fibrin.
• It occurs in the proximity of clot and dissolves it
when endothelial healing occurs.
• It is mediated by the serine protease plasmin,
which is prouced from the plasminogen with the
help of tissue plasminogen activator ( t- PA).
• Fibrinolysis is normal response to clot formation
and represent pathological condition, when it
occures systemically.
11. Heparin
• Glucosaminoglycan (polysaccharide)
• Found most commonly in mast cells
• Strongest macromolecular acid in the body Half
life of heparin is dose dependent.
• And Highly variable between patients
Source of Heparin
• First isolated from liver extract (hepatic)
• Porcine intestinal mucosa
• Bovine lung
12. • Heterogeneous mixture of molecules from 3,000
to 40,000 daltons (mean ~ 15,000)
• Batch to batch heparin preparations may have
different activity levels per milligram
• standardized activity levels reported in units
• 100 units = 1 mg
13. Sources of Heparin
• First isolated from liver
extract (hepatic)
• Porcine intestinal
mucosa
• Bovine lung
14. Heparin
• Lower molecular weight
• More cross linked structure
• Longer lasting
• Higher content of binding sites
for ATIII
• Higher doses needed for CPB
• 25-30% less protamine needed
• Higher incidence of delayed
hemorrhage
• Lower incidence of Heparin
indused thrombocytopenia
• Higher molecular weight
• Less cross linking
• Shorter
• Lower content of ATIII
• binding sites
• Lower doses needed
• May need more protamine
• to neutralize
• Lower incidence of heparin
rebound
Bovine spongiform
• encephalopathy
• transmission (mad cow
• disease)
Porcine Bovine
15. Mechnism of action of Heparin
• Heparin Acts as a catalyst for antithrombin III (ATIII) to accelerate the
neutralization of
– Thrombin
– Xa
– IXa
– XIa
– XIIa
– VIIa/TF complex
Dosage of Heparin
Initial dose for 200 to 400 units/kg
• Maintenance dose 50 to 100 units/kg (administered any where b/w
30 min to 2hour)
• The extracorporeal circulation was primed with bank blood that was
heparinised in the dose of 2500 to 5000 units/unit of blood.
16. Monitoring Heparin Effect
• The anticoagulant effect of heparin should be
monitored functionally before instituting CPB.
• The administration of heparin does not
guarantee that all patients will be adequately
anticoagulated because there are differences
in levels of circulating co-factors and inhibitors
that can alter the pharmacokinetics and
pharmacodynamics of the drug.
17. Dosage during CPB
• Initial dose for 200 to 400 units/kg
• Maintenance dose 50 to 100 units/kg
• (administered any where b/w 30 min to 2hour)
• The extracorporeal circulation was primed with
• bank blood that was heparinised in the dose of
• 2500 to 5000 units/unit of blood
18. Activated clotting time
• Functional tests of heparin activity are related to
the whole blood clotting time.
• The whole blood clotting time required that
whole blood placed in a glass tube, maintained at
37ºC, and manually tilted until blood fluidity was
no longer detected.
• Glass tube containing diatomaceous earth
(celite), kaolin, or a combination of activators.
• The presence of an activator augments the
contact activation phase of coagulation, which
stimulates the intrinsic coagulation pathway.
19. • Detection of ACT values can be performed
manually but is more commonly by
automated method, as in Hemochron and
Hemotec systems
20. Monitoring of ACT
• Bull et al (1975) recommended structured
approach using ACT monitoring.
• They adopted ACT of 480 sec as safe value,
ACT below 180 sec - life threatening
b/w 180 to 300 sec - questionable
≥ 600 - unwise
21. Current Practice
• Gravlee et al have selected following CPB heparin
management protocol
1. Administer heparine 300 units/kg IV
2. Draw an arterial sample for ACT in 3 to 5 min.
3. Give additional heparin to achieve ACT>300 sec during
normothermic CPB & >400 sec for hypothermic <30ºC.
4. Prime extracorporial circuit with 3 units/ml heparin
5. Monitor ACT every 30 min. during CPB.
6. If ACT decreses below desired min. value, doses of 50 to
100 units/kg given.
22. Limitation of ACT
• ACT values may prolonged by following factors
• Hypothermia
• Haemodilutation
• Apotinin : a serine protease inhibitor, is used
for blood conservation during open heart
surgery. Maintain ACT value >750 when
apotinin is used
23. Heparin Resistance
• Heparin resistance is documented by an inability
to raise the ACT to expected levels despite an
adequate dose and plasma concentration of
heparin.
• Clinical conditions associated with heparin
resistance,
• Familial AT-III deficiency
• Ongoing heparin therapy
• Extreme thrombocytosis ( >7,00,00/mm³)
• Septicaemia
24. Adverse Effects of Heparin
• Bleeding
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Heparin indused hyperkalaemia
• Heparin indused thrombocytopenia : it
develops 7 to 14 days after initiation of
heparin, but may develop within 1 or 2 day in
pt with previous exposure to heparin.
• It is likely to be immune mediated (antibody
formed against PF 4/ heparin complex)
25. Alternative to Heparin
• Low molecular weight heparin(LMWH) : Less
capable of inhibiting thrombin, but potent
inhibitors of factor Xa.
• Inhibition of factor Xa prevents thrombos
formation without impairing haemostasis.
• Thus prophylaxis against deep vein thrombosis
can occur with lower incidence of bleeding
complication.
26. • Dematan sulfate : It accelerates the inhibition of
thrombosis by heparin cofactor II.
• Hirudin : isolated from medicinal leeches & inhibits
thrombin without requiring AT III.
• Used in pt with HIT
• Defibrinogenating agents
Ancrod : It lyses fibrinogen thus preventing formation
of fibrin polymers.
Streptokinase and Urokinase : these thrombolytic
agents are capable of producing defibrinogenation,
increased plasmin formation can lead to
hyperfibrinolysis.
27. Heparin Coated Surfaces
• Binding of heparin to the internal surface of
CPB circuit, the need for systemic
heparinisation during CPB may be reduced.
• The use of heparin coated circuit in
combination with full systemic heparinisation
has been shown to better then uncoated
circuit in terms of platelet preservation and
postoperative bleeding
28. Hemostasis
• Hemostasis is the body’s response to vascular
injury.
• The three major components of hemostasis
include
• Vascular endothelium
• Platelets, which determine primary
hemostasis, and
• The coagulation cascade glycoproteins, which
determine secondary hemostasis
29. Protamine
• Protamine has been mainstay of heparin
neutralization for more then 3 decades.
• It is derived from the sperms of salmon fish
• A polycationic protein
• Bind with heparin to produce stable
precipitate which has no anticoagulant
property.
• It has mild anticoagulant effect independent
of heparin.
30. Dosage of Protamine
• At the end of CPB, the remaining heparin in
circulation should be neutralized in order to
restore normal coagulation.
• 1 to 1.3 mg of protamine is administered for each
100 units of heparin.
• The amount of heparin neutralized is taken as the
total dose of heparin administered during CPB or
initial dose of heparin.
• Simple & no need of ACT measurment.
• Disadvantage - excessive or under neutralization
of heparin.
31. Protamine Reaction
• Haemodynamic compromise following protamine
administration during cardiac surgery is well known &
documented.
• Characterised by
Increase in PA & CVP
Decrease in left atrial & systemic arterial pressure.
• Possible causes are
Pharmacologial histamin release
Anaphylactoid reaction
True anaphylaxis mediated by specific antiprotamine
Ig.
32. • Protamine should not administered faster then 5
mg/min.
• Or average dose not >200mg in 40 min.
• Most anaesthesiologists prefer to give a bolus of 25 to
50mg & then carefully observe haemodynamics for
short period of time.
• If no change is observed, another bolus is
administered.
• The site of administration should be left side of
circulation (LA,aorta) or peripheral vein with
subsequent dilution.
• Pt with know food allergy to fish avoid protamine.
33. Other Agent
• Platelet factor 4 : neutralized heparin’s inhibition of factor Xa & thrombin.
• Recombinant PF4 has effectively neutralise heparin effect & useful
alternative to protanime.
• Aprotinin : serine protease & kallikrein inhibitor with ability to preserve
platelet function & inhibit fibrinolysis.
• Desmopressin acetate : releases coagulation system mediators from
vascular endothelium ( eg factor VIII,factor XII,prostacyclin & t-PA).
• Dose of 0.3 µg/kg by IV, IM or subcutaneous route.
• Epsillon aninocapnoic acid & tranexamic acid: these are antifibrinolytic
agent.
• EACA is used to treat excessive bleeding after CPB.
• TA has also show reduced chest drainage & blood transfusion requirment.
