Electrical cardiac pacing for the management of bradyarrhythmias
was first described in 1952, and permanent transvenous pacing
devices were introduced into clinical practice in the early 1960s.
A basic note on pacemaker that will be usefull to undergraduate students to attain a brief and basic knowledge on pacemaker. when the natural pacemaker of the heart becomes unrelyable , an artificial pacemaker needs to be implanted in the which will cause contraction of the myocardium by initiating electrical activity of the heart.
This is a brief description of how defibrillator work. It is especially talking about AED (automatic external defibrillator). It explains how it works and mechanism behind its easy but effective result.
Defibrillator machine: it is a machine which provides shock to patient directly to the heart or externally when patient encounter with cardiac emergencies such as cardiac arrythmias, irregular heart beats .etc.
It helps in to regularise the irregular heart beats.
Left atrial appendage closure device involves a procedure that reduces the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation patients. It also reduces the risk of bleeding that comes with a long-term use of oral anticoagulants. The WATCHMAN Device is permanently implanted at the site or slightly distal to the ostium of the LAA (the source of more than 90% of stroke-causing bloods clots in atrial fibrillation patients).
It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound with an EBUS bronchoscope (thin, long flexible tube with a camera on an end) to see the airway wall and the adjacent structures.
Bronchoscopy is an endoscopic procedure that involves inserting a bronchoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a small camera at one end) inside the lung to diagnose and treat lung diseases.
Retroperitoneoscopic surgery reduces the risks associated with transabdominal surgeries. It can be used for surgeries related to the kidney, adrenal glands, and ureter.

Pacemaker | Implantable Cardiac Devices For Heart FailuresYashodaHospitals
Implantable cardiac devices are electronic, battery-operated medical devices that are implanted to restore the heart's normal rhythm and prevent sudden cardiac death. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, Pacemaker and LAVD are such devices that help to maintain rhythm and pumping. A pacemaker is a small implantable cardiac device that is placed under the skin in the chest to help control the heartbeat, improve quality of life and for longevity. It is used to help the heart beat more regularly for irregular heartbeat also known as arrhythmia.
What does it help with?
Pacemaker helps in controlling the rhythm and of the heart by either:
Resynchronizing the rhythm
Correcting the rhythm
Facilitating adequate circulation to support a failing heart

Breast Conserving Surgery in Hyderabad | Breast Cancer Treatment in HyderabadYashodaHospitals
Breast-conserving Surgery is also known as lumpectomy or partial lumpectomy, it is a procedure to remove the cancer from the breast and some normal tissue. BCS involves only the part of the breast that has cancer to be removed. BCS is a good option for many women with early-stage cancers. Usually after BCS, radiation therapy is given to destroy cancer cells that may not have been removed during surgery. In some cases, chemotherapy and radiation are both given after BCS.
Who is BCS recommended for?
Not all women with breast cancer are candidates for BCS. However, speak to a doctor to find out whether BCS is an option for you.
BCS might be a good option for the below reason:
1. If the tumor is small and localized.
2. If you are eligible for radiation therapy
3. Do not have inflammatory breast cancer
4. Are not pregnant or, if pregnant, will not need radiation therapy immediately.
5. Do not have a mutation linked to breast cancer.
6. Do not have serious connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma or lupus.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

2. What Is An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator?
• It is a small battery-powered
device placed onto the chest
wall to monitor heart rhythm
and detect irregular heartbeats.
• If required, it can deliver
electric impulses to the
heart to restore normal rhythm.
3. Who Requires ICDs?
Patients with following conditions may
require ICD placement:
• Ventricular arrhythmia
• Long QT syndrome
• Congenital heart disease
• History of sudden cardiac arrest
• Brugada syndrome
• History of heart attack
• Cardiomyopathy (diseased heart
muscles)
10. • The ICD constantly monitors the heart
rhythm through the electrodes.
• If the heartbeat is irregular, the signals
are transmitted to the ICD through the
electrodes.
• The ICD then sends electrical
impulses to the left ventricle
to regulate the heartbeat .
• ICD can be programmed for
low-energy pacing or providing
• high-energy shock .
How Does An ICD Work?
11. Short-term Precautions After The Surgery
Performing
exercises or activities
that engage shoulder
muscles
For four-weeks after the surgery, avoid:
Lifting
heavy weights
Playing
contact sports
Playing intense
sports such as
tennis, bowling,
or golf
