Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. Kaposi sarcoma was
first described as
‘idiopathic multiple
pigmented sarcoma of
the skin’ by the
Hungarian dermatologist
Moritz Kaposi in 1872.
3. From that time until the HIV disease epidemic
identified with AIDS, KS remained a rare tumor.
It became more widely known as one of the
AIDS-defining illnesses in the 1980s.
4. Causative agent
KSHV was discovered as a causative agent in
1994.
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a multifocal, endothelial
proliferation caused by human herpesvirus 8
(HHV‐8)
The disease is multifocal, with a course ranging
from indolent, with only skin manifestations to
fulminant, with extensive visceral involvement.
5. • Although HHV‐8 is considered the causative
agent, it is insufficient to cause KS alone.
• Multiple co‐factors are required, the most
powerful of which is HIV co‐infection, which
elevates the risk up to 20,000‐fold.
6. There are four distinct clinicopathological
subtypes:
➤ Classic (Sporadic KS)
➤ Endemic (sub-Saharan Africa)
➤ Iatrogenic (transplant recipients)
➤ AIDS associated (Epidemic KS)
7. KS in MSM without HIV infection is increasingly
being recognized as a possible distinct fifth form
of KS
8. • Incidence varies dramatically from less than
1 per 100,000 in western Europe and North
America to over 22 per 100,000 in central
Africa where the disease occurs in its
endemic form and HIV infection is rampant.
9.
10.
11. Classic KS occurs mostly in elderly men of
Mediterranean or Jewish ancestry
10-15 times more common in men than women.
Chronic lymphedema is a frequent association.
Classic KS
12. It typically shows an indolent, protracted clinical
course and primarily affects skin on the legs,
though lymph nodes & visceral mucosa may also
be involved.
Slow progression with good prognosis.
Occasionally an aggressive type of Kaposi’s
sarcoma occurred in young adults or children
with early lymph node involvement.
13. African / Endemic KS
Presents in young adults median age 37.
Males > Females
Accounts for up to 9% of all reported cancers in
equatorial Africa.
Poor prognosis
14. • In South Africa, it has been estimated that
Kaposi’s sarcoma is ten times more common in
blacks than whites.
• In Africans, the disease can run a similar course
as in Classic KS, but a higher proportion of
young people are affected, with a more
aggressive disease manifestation.
15. • Most cases in children, with or without HIV
infection, are of the lymphadenopathic type and
are rapidly fatal due to visceral dissemination.
16. 4 clinical patterns
Nodular type: benign course & resembles
classic KS.
Florid / Vegetating type: More aggressive,
extend deeply into the subcutis, muscle & bone.
Infiltrative type: More aggressive. Has
mucocutaneous & visceral involvement.
Lymphadenopathic type: Seen in children
(male:female = 3:1) & young adults. Viscera &
massive LN involvement. Early death.
19. Iatrogenic KS
Most common in solid organ transplant
recipients.
Chronic use of immunosupressive drugs.
Cyclosporine is associated with a higher
incidence and more rapid onset of disease.
Resolves on cessation of immunosupression.
20. Incidence of KS is reported to currently be
~200- fold higher in recipients of solid-organ
transplants (that is, in iatrogenic KS) than in the
general population
No sex predilection.
21. HIV associated KS
Risk 20,000 times more in AIDS patient
compared to general population.
Common in homosexual men.
Visceral involvement may be present without any
skin lesions
23. Disseminated AIDS-related KS in a 36-year-old
man. Nodular violaceous involvement of the tongue
base & soft and hard palates.
24. Multifocal involvement of respiratory system can
be asymptomatic or lead to dyspnea, cough,
hemoptysis and/or chest pain.
GI complications include ulceration, massive
haemorrhage, perforation and ileus. Small
intestine is the most common location.
25. KS of bowel and/or lungs is responsible for
numerous deaths.
HIV-associated KS is an aggressive tumor that
results in a median survival time of 18 months
without treatment.
26. Diagnosis
• Dermoscopy - Dermoscopic examination
reveals
➤ bluish-reddish coloration
➤ areas showing various colours of the
rainbow spectrum
➤ scaly surface
• Skin biopsy – Vascular channels lined by
atypical endothelial cells. Extravasated
erythrocytes with hemosiderin deposition.
33. The histopathological changes of KS typically
parallel the clinical progression of patch, plaque
and nodular stages.
34. Patch stage KS
• Clinical lesions consist of violaceous to brown erythematous
patches and plaques, most often involving the feet in classic
KS and often involving the face in AIDS‐associated KS
35. Histopathology – Patch stage
Promontary
sign-
Normal adnexal
structures and
preexisting
blood vessels
often protrude
into newly
formed blood
vessels
36. • horizontally arranged, irregular vessels that dissect in between
collagen bundles and around adnexae, vessels lined by
hyperchromatic plump endothelial cells, with areas of
erythrocyte extravasation & hemosiderin deposition.
38. In the reticular
dermis-
spindle cell
vascular
proliferation
characterized
by slit-like
vascular
spaces with
extravasated
erythrocytes
Plaque stage
46. The blood vessels of
normal granulation tissue
(top) overlying an
ulcerated KS tumour
(bottom) are more
strongly immunoreactive
for CD31 than are KS
tumour cells.
47. nodular stage KS positive for CD31 is slightly less
than that of patch/plaque–stage KS, suggesting that
there may be subtle differences in the staining
patterns for endothelial markers between the
different histologic stages of KS.
60. • INF-α2b can be used in management of AIDS-
associated Kaposi sarcoma.
• Dosing - 30 million IU/m2 subcutaneously or IM 3
times/week until disease progression or maximal
response has been achieved after 16 weeks.
