This document provides an outline and overview of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It defines NCDs as non-infectious and non-transmissible medical conditions. NCDs are characterized by complex causality, long development periods that may be asymptomatic, functional impairment or disability, and need for long-term treatment. Risk factors include behaviors like tobacco use and diet as well as genetic and age-related factors. The document examines NCDs that affect major body systems like the cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous systems. It provides examples of diseases for each system, like hypertension in the cardiovascular system and peptic ulcers in the digestive system.
This document discusses hypertension (high blood pressure) and its management through diet and lifestyle changes or medications. It defines hypertension and classifies it by severity. It describes secondary causes of hypertension like kidney disease or tumors and essential (primary) hypertension which is idiopathic. Uncontrolled hypertension can damage organs over time. Management includes weight loss, reducing sodium intake, increasing potassium/calcium/magnesium, reducing alcohol and managing stress. For mild cases, lifestyle changes may control blood pressure but medications are often needed if goals are not met. Early treatment can reduce heart disease and stroke risks.
This document discusses the pharmacotherapy of hypertension. It defines hypertension as increased arterial blood pressure above normal. It divides hypertension into two types: primary hypertension, which can be caused by factors like sodium intake, nitric oxide levels, heredity, and age, and secondary hypertension, which is caused by underlying conditions like endocrine disorders, kidney disorders, vascular disorders, and smoking. The document also mentions the pathophysiology and physiological mechanisms that regulate blood pressure, such as the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and neurological regulation.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is defined as a systolic blood pressure above 140 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure above 90 mmHg. It can be caused by primary or secondary factors. Primary hypertension accounts for 90-95% of cases and its cause is unknown. Secondary hypertension is caused by an underlying condition such as kidney disease. Treatment involves lifestyle modifications and medication to prevent target organ damage from severely high blood pressure.
This document discusses hypertensive urgency, which is defined as a marked elevation in blood pressure without evidence of target organ damage. It covers the etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, evaluation, treatment, differential diagnosis, and management of hypertensive urgency. The key points are that treatment focuses on ensuring long-term blood pressure control and follow-up rather than rapidly lowering blood pressure, as this may do more harm than good for patients without organ damage. An interprofessional team approach is best to educate patients on medication compliance.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, can happen for different reasons. Sometimes it's because of the food we eat or if we don't exercise enough. Sometimes it can be because of our family genes. Stress can also make it happen. It's important to eat healthy and stay calm to keep our blood pressure just right!

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Disorders of the endocrine
system, including primary
hyperaldosteronism and
Cushing's syndrome, are
significant contributors to
secondary hypertension in
this demographic.
Medication-Related
Causes
Certain medications, including
oral contraceptives, over-the-
counter pain relievers, and
some antidepressants, can
induce secondary
hypertension in young adults.
4. Renal Causes of Secondary Hypertension
1 Renal Artery Stenosis
This condition involves the narrowing of
the arteries that supply blood to the
kidneys, resulting in increased blood
pressure due to reduced blood flow to the
kidneys.
2 Chronic Kidney Disease
Individuals with impaired kidney function
are at an increased risk of developing
secondary hypertension, as the kidneys
play a vital role in blood pressure
regulation.
5. Endocrine Causes of Secondary
Hypertension
Primary Hyperaldosteronism
Excessive production of aldosterone by
the adrenal glands can lead to sodium
retention, potassium excretion, and
subsequent elevation in blood
pressure.
Cushing's Syndrome
Abnormal cortisol levels associated
with Cushing's syndrome can
contribute to hypertension by altering
the body's response to stress and
sodium balance.
6. Medications and Substances that Can
Cause Secondary Hypertension
1
Oral Contraceptives
2
Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers
3
Antidepressants
7. Other Less Common Causes of
Secondary Hypertension in Young
Adults
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sleep-disordered breathing has been associated with secondary
hypertension, particularly in younger individuals.
Coarctation of the Aorta
A congenital heart defect characterized by a narrowing of the aorta, leading to
elevated blood pressure in the arms compared to the legs.
8. Conclusion and Summary of Key Points
1 Educational Awareness
Enhancing awareness about the potential causes and risk factors of secondary
hypertension is crucial in facilitating early detection and optimal management.
2 Multidisciplinary Approach
A comprehensive management strategy involving healthcare providers from various
specialties is essential for addressing secondary hypertension in young adults.
3 Patient Empowerment
Empowering young adults with knowledge about hypertension and its underlying
causes can encourage proactive engagement in preventive measures and treatment
adherence.
