Percutaneous Transcatheter Mitral Valve ReplacementShadab Ahmad
Symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR) conveys significant morbidity and mortality. However, many patients with severe MR are not treated with surgery due to advanced age, left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, or other comorbidities. This unmet clinical need has driven the development of safer, catheter-based treatments for mitral valve disease.
Transcatheter mitral valve repair can be safe and effective in patients with suitable anatomy.

The first randomized trial on Endovascular Valve Edge-to-Edge Repair (EVEREST) to compare outcomes with MitraClip vs surgery
The field of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) for
mitral regurgitation (MR) is rapidly evolving. Besides the
well-established transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair
approach, there is also growing evidence for therapeutic
strategies targeting the mitral annulus and mitral valve
chordae. A patient-tailored approach, careful patient
selection and an experienced interventional team is crucial
in order to optimise procedural and clinical outcomes. With
further data from ongoing clinical trials to be expected,
consensus in the Heart Team is needed to address these
complexities and determine the most appropriate TMVr
therapy, either single or combined, for patients with severe
MR

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.

MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the structure and function of taste buds.
Describe the relationship between the taste threshold and taste index of common substances.
Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)

Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:

Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors

Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae
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
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Editor's Notes
Ross J Jr, Braunwald E, Morrow AG AJC 3:653-655,1959 In 1958, while working at National Institutes of Health, Eugene Braunwald was director of a cath lab, and 1st Yr Fellow was John Ross. Ross was using sizing balloons to measure atrial septal defects in the cath lab. A visiting physician from Argentina observed this procedure and asked whether Ross had considered using a needle to puncture the intact septum. Ross discussed at doiner with EB, then requested time off from the cath lab, and developed a needle device in the dog lab. This was introduced into patients via femoral cutdown. A couple of years later when the Seldinger technique was introduced, a surgical resident working with Breaunwald designed a catheter, the Brockenbrough, through which the Ross needle could be placed.
