Portal hypertension by kiran maindale
Portal hypertension occurs when blood pressure in the portal vein system, which drains blood from the gastrointestinal tract to the liver, increases above normal levels. It is defined as a hepatic venous pressure gradient greater than 15 mmHg. Two key factors that contribute to portal hypertension are increased vascular resistance and increased blood flow. Investigation may include blood tests and imaging of the liver, portal system, and varices. Complications include variceal bleeding, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy. Treatment depends on severity but may involve medication, endoscopic procedures, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement, or surgical shunting of blood flow to reduce portal pressure.

Dr hesham elsayed hd adequacy and dose optimization
This document discusses various aspects of optimizing hemodialysis dose prescription. It notes that there is no single standardized approach that fits all patients, as flux, time, frequency, ultrafiltration rate, and markers of adequacy can all impact dose but in conflicting ways. Higher permeability membranes, prolonged sessions, and more frequent treatments can enhance solute clearance beyond traditional markers like KT/V. However, quantification of their benefits requires more research. An incremental approach adjusting dose based on residual kidney function may be preferable to fixed thrice-weekly regimens for some patients.
THYCER

Adenocarcinomaprostate
Prostate cancer is common in men in western countries. Screening methods include digital rectal exam, PSA testing, and transrectal ultrasound with biopsy. PSA levels can help determine cancer risk and likelihood of spread, but PSA is not cancer-specific. Treatment depends on cancer risk and stage, and may include radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or active surveillance. Outcomes are difficult to predict and depend on factors like PSA doubling time, Gleason score, and stage. Radiation therapy techniques aim to maximize dose to the prostate while minimizing dose to surrounding organs. Hormone therapy is an important addition for higher risk patients.

Treatment of failed roux en-y hepaticojejunostomy after post cholecystectomy ...
This study evaluated the outcomes of a multidisciplinary approach to treating failed Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (RYHJ) after post-cholecystectomy bile duct injuries. 44 patients with recurrent cholangitis or jaundice after a failed initial RYHJ underwent either revisionary surgery including repeat RYHJ or hepatectomy, or a percutaneous approach including biliary interventions or portal vein embolization. Immediate treatment with revisionary surgery or a percutaneous approach achieved a clinical success rate of 89%, with no postoperative mortality and generally mild morbidity. Delayed revisionary surgery after attempting to dilate the bile ducts through percutaneous means failed in all patients. An immediate multidis
Turp CASE FINAL.pptx
This document presents the case of a 69-year-old male with complaints of increased urinary frequency, dribbling, and incomplete bladder emptying, likely due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. It discusses his medical history, examination findings, and planned treatment of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Key points include the importance of fluid management during TURP to prevent complications like TURP syndrome. TURP syndrome is characterized by central nervous system and cardiovascular system effects due to fluid overload and electrolyte abnormalities. Close monitoring of fluid absorption and electrolytes is needed, along with measures to rapidly correct any hyponatremia that develops during the procedure.
Imaging of salivary gland lesion
This document discusses imaging of salivary gland pathologies. It begins with the anatomy of major and minor salivary glands. Common pathologies include sialolithiasis, acute and chronic sialadenitis, ranula, and various neoplasms. Imaging modalities like ultrasound, CT, MRI, and radionuclide studies are used to evaluate the glands. Ultrasound can identify stones, duct dilatation, and blood flow. CT and MRI accurately depict glandular anatomy and pathology. Sialography and MR sialography help in evaluating obstructive diseases. Both benign and malignant neoplasms can involve the salivary glands.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Role of Mukta Pishti in the Management of Hyperthyroidism
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
The Electrocardiogram - Physiologic Principles
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance
