Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

MD7097 Cardiovascular Disease.docx
1. MD7097 Cardiovascular Disease
Answer:
Summary
Cardiovascular disease or CVD accounts for the maximum number of deaths all around the
globe. The phrase refers to a collection of ailments that involves conditions like coronary
artery disease, heart attack, stroke, and congestive heart failure. A person's predisposition
to CVD can be increased by both changeable and non-modifiable threat variables. Ethnicity,
if there is a medical background of CVD in the family, gender, and age are non-modifiable
risk factors (1). This is a clinical discussion about a patient who has an acute myocardial
infarction. There is a discussion of the clinical signs and symptoms. The options at every
phase ECG, the angiogram, and the observations done for the purpose of treatment are all
thoroughly discussed. The differential diagnosis of the symptoms presented by the patient
is also mentioned. ECG localization of myocardial infarction, acute coronary occlusion
management, and all clinical aspects of myocardial infarction monitoring are enclosed. The
outcome and next steps are also discussed.
Background
Myocardial infarction is caused due to restricted inflow of blood to the heart muscle. The
heart muscles that are affected start to die as a result of it. Pain in the chest is one of the
most prevalent purposes for trying to seek emergency treatment, and it
becomes complicated between cases of non-emergency and those with increased deaths
and morbidity rates, like acute coronary syndrome (ACS), aortic dissection, and pulmonary
thromboembolism (11). There are 3 main specifications for managing acute pain in
the chest: physiological examination and medical document, electrocardiogram (ECG), and
markers of atrophy of the myocardium. They must be analyzed together to get a secure
strategy for the patient, particularly when starting out ACS is required. Radiography of the
2. chest, computed tomography angiography (CTA), echocardiography, as well as other exams
may be helpful in making a diagnosis. Acute coronary syndrome is identified in roughly 15-
25 percent of patients who come to the ER with pain in the chest, and it, therefore, is its
most common clinical symptom (12). As a result, the existence of angina is the most
important determining factor of an ischemic etiology in the first phase of the assessment,
which also is the clinical investigation (2).
Angina is frequently characterized as a feeling which can be termed as burning or
pressurizing and breathing problems in the precordial area or any other area of the chest
region, emanating to the neck, shoulder, and left arm. It generally worsens in less than
minutes and is preceded by health problems such as nausea and perspiring. It is provoked
by physical or psychological exertion and is alleviated by rest or the use of nitrates. It must
also be noted that ACS can take place without evident precipitating variables, be symptom-
free, or reveal as an ischemic equivalent, particularly in the older and patients with diabetes
with neurological impairment (6). The patient in this case scenario presented with
extended pain in the chest, which does not govern out acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but
does elevate the risk of a situation linked with this coronary portrait, also including
pericarditis or mechanical abnormalities (7). Dyslipidaemia, diabetes, high blood pressure,
male gender, advanced age, obesity/metabolic disorder, cigarettes, reduced physical
activity, chronic kidney disease, anxiety, and strain are some of the most crucial risk factors
for atherosclerotic disease. Age, male sex, high blood pressure, and smoking were all
vulnerability variables in this patient's advancement of coronary artery disease. Patients
with pain in the chest and ACS frequently have a vaguely defined medical assessment, with
very little than 20% demonstrating substantial changes in the clinical assessment. This is
useful in detecting differential diagnoses (for example, pericardial friction rubs in
pericarditis) or implying the existence of risk variables for coronary artery disease. This is
an essential subject since the majority of the mortality due to myocardial infarction occurs
within the first 60 minutes of the onset of the disease, with 40-65 percent happening inside
of the first hour and roughly 80 percent happeningwithin the first 24 hours (7).
Case Presentation
A 66-year-old man went to the emergency room for treatment after experiencing
intense pain in the chest for 24 hours. The patient was conscious that he was hypertensive
and that he smoked. The patient appeared to be fine until 3 hours ago when he abruptly felt
an ambiguous pain in the chest in the centre of his chest. The pain started in the substernal
area and spread to the shoulder on the right side. The suffering was dull and aching, and it
was becoming more severe over the course of a few hours. Exertion agitated the pain in
the chest. Even when he rested, the pain did not go away. There was excessive sweating
3. linked with the pain in the chest, as well as a feeling of upcoming demise or fatality. There
was some slight dyspnoea and palpitation with pain in the chest. The pain in chest was
widespread rather than localised. There is no link between the pain in the chest and the
amount of food consumed. There was no accompanying vomiting or hematemesis. There
had been no history of abuse or mental conditions in the past. There had been no record of
dizziness, syncope, or seizures. There had been no previous fever, sniffle, or production
of sputum. There was no background of significantly reduced urine output, either now or
previously. It was common to conduct an evaluation of other systems. The patient has no
history of diabetes or hypertension. There was no prior knowledge of exertional angina or
dyspnoea. There had been no previous surgical history. There are no medications being
taken by the patient. For the past 15 years, the patient has followed a high-fat diet and
smoked one packet of cigarettes per day. There was no background of alleged drinking or
potentially illegal substance abuse. He lives alone in a sanitary environment. Provided his
father's untimely death at the age of 52 because of the "heart problems," he admits to being
concerned about his own health and quality of life. Every night, he consumes 2-3 cocktails to
"calm his anxiety"(7).
Investigations
The pulse rate was 120 beats per minute (tachycardia) with a normal rhythm. There has
been no bruit in the carotid arteries.
Blood pressure:
138/94 mmHg – Upper left – Sitting left
144/90 mmHg – Lower left – Sitting left
The jugular venous pressure (JVP) was not increased.
34/min respiratory rate, shallow accelerated breathing, abdominothoracic in nature
Temperature: Afebrile
There are no signs of kyphoscoliosis and the wall of the chest is bilaterally symmetrical. Due
to slight obesity, the apex is not observable. There have been no scars or veins that
are dilated. There is tachycardia if the first heart sound is loud in frequency and the second
heart sound is regular in frequency (normal split). There have been no extraneous sounds
or murmurs. The patient was alert and well-aware of time and place. An ECG, X-ray of the
4. chest, CBC, thorough metabolic panel, cardiovascular enzymes, lipase, and clotting studies
were performed during the patient's initial physical exam in the ED. His initial triage EKG
(Figure 1) revealed V2-V6 T wave shifts are hyperacute in a usual sinus rhythm.; his
potassium level was 4.3. With the exception of a troponin-I of 0.41, his other laboratory
tests were uninteresting.
A 1.5-hour follow-up ECG (Figure 2) revealed normal sinus rhythm with substantial
elevation in the segment of ST-segment in leads I, II, and V1 through V6, indicating an
anterolateral MI. He was noticed to get a 100-percent blockage all along the middle part of
the left anterior descending (LAD) artery during catheterization; no obstructions were
observed in the right coronary artery or the circumflex artery. Stents were implanted
throughout the LAD's first and second diagonal divisions. Numerous occurrences of
ventricular tachycardia, which settled with profound coughing, occurred during the process,
as did an incident of ventricular fibrillation, which required cardioversion to sinus rhythm.
According to the catheterization laboratory report, the patient had anterolateral apical
hypokinesia and a left ventricular function of 40%.(figure 1)
Differential Diagnosis
One differential diagnosis for this patient who is having intense pain in the chest along with
the pericardial effusion is aortic dissection. In the case of this condition the onset of pain is
very sudden and of very strong intensity from the beginning. This pain is not like the pain of
angina which comes and goes and escalates increasingly. This pain is described as
excruciating and the location of the pain reflects the site and the progression of the
dissection. The other signs such as pallor and excessive sweating are very much linked. In
this condition when the physical examination discloses hypertensive crisis, there is a
difference between the pulse of the limbs, indications of pleural and pericardial effusion,
diastolic murmur of aortic regurgitation which is different from the systolic murmur that is
observed in the case of this patient. The spread of the dissection to those certain vessels can
cause signs resembling ischemia of the organ systems that are irrigated by them, such as
haemorrhagic stroke, acute myocardial infarction, mesenteric ischemia, and so on (9).
Pulmonary embolism is some other possible diagnosis for the clinical problem. This
assumption is much less probable because there are no pulmonary symptoms, primarily
dyspnoea. It is another very frequent problem of this illness, affecting more than 78 percent
of patients. Up to 44% of patients experience unexpected chest pain, which is frequently
pleuritic. Coughing and hemoptysis are also possible. Furthermore, no reference of right
ventricular dysfunction expressions, such as jugular stasis and hypotension, was formed on
5. admission at the other service (8).
Treatment
The following medications have been administered to the patient:
T. Aspirin 75 mg OD
T. Ticagrelor 90 mg BD (after an initial loading dose of 180 mg)
T. Atorvastatin 80 mg OD HS
T. Metoprolol.
As the patients left ventricular 50 mg OD ejection fraction was 40%-45%
T. Ramipril with hypokinesia in the LAD
2.5 mg BD territory T.
Lasix + spironolactone (20/50) mg od (7).
Trying to restore the flow of blood and circulation to the muscles of the heart that are
affected as soon as possible is the goal of treating myocardial infarction. This can occur
through a variety of means, varying from medication to surgery. It is very highly probable
that treatment will include a combination of the methods listed below (10).
Supplemental oxygen is frequently given to people who are having breathing difficulties or
have a low level of oxygen in blood oxygen, in addition to other heart attack treatment
options. The oxygen can be inhaled through a tube that is placed below the nose of the
patient or the oxygen mask which can be placed on top of the nose so that the mouth and
the nose can be covered. This enhances the quantity of oxygen in the blood and relieves the
pressure on the heart (13).
Anti-clotting medicines such as aspirin and other medicines that help in thinning the blood
Nitro-glycerine is a medication used to treat pain in the chest. It is also a potent vasodilator,
which means it induces blood vessels to dilate, allowing blood to flow more quickly (13).
6. Thrombolytic (clot-busting) medications: These intravenous (IV) medications disintegrate
and dissolve blood clots. These medications are typically only used within the first 12 hours
following a heart attack (8)
Anti-arrhythmia medications: Heart attacks frequently result in arrhythmias, which are
irregularities in your heart's normal beating rhythm. Some arrhythmias are potentially fatal.
These malfunctions can be stopped or prevented with anti-arrhythmia medications.
Morphine is the most commonly used pain reliever during heart attack treatment. This can
aid in the relief of chest pain (8).
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) a technique used to restore blood flow to the
concerned cardiac muscle. This operation, also known as PCI for short, involves inserting a
piece of catheter-based equipment into a significant blood vessel. The catheter is threaded
up to the obstructed artery on the heart after being implanted into the blood vessel through
a small cut. When the device attains the obstruction, the supplier will pump up a small
balloon on the extreme of the machine to broaden the blood vessel and clear the obstruction
(8).
Outcome And Follow Up
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) follow-up care is an important component of the
recovery procedure after an AMI. Family doctors, in collaboration with a cardiovascular
subspecialist, play a critical position in the subacute administration of MI. This duration can
last one to three months and starts after a revascularization process or after the choice not
to revascularize is formed (4). Diet, exercise, and cessation of smoking are all important
aspects of modifying the unhealthy habits influencing the lifestyle that should be discussed
at discharge. Dietary advice should include details about the Mediterranean diet, which has
been shown to lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality rates. Whenever the
interventions related to behavior are initiated in the hospital environment and are
integrated with one month of supportive care, smoking cessation rates improve in patients
with cardiovascular disease (5).
Discussion
7. This is a case study of a 66-year-old man, who presented to the ED with intense pain in his
chest. There was excessive sweating linked with the pain in the chest, as well as a feeling of
upcoming demise or fatality (7). Similarly, Campo (2016), presented a case study of 52 year
old suffering from myocardial infarction (MI) over many months but it went unrecognized
by her clinicians or the nurses. The author also mentions the initial signs and symptoms of
the condition. The author also mentions how crucial it is to rule out the differential
diagnosis so that current treatment can be provided to the patient which otherwise can be
fatal (3). In the case study presented above also differential diagnosis to heart attack has
been mentioned and the rationale has been presented as to why it has been ruled out. The
patient here has also been given proper treatment to prevent the condition. ECG was done
as one of the investigations. The T wave is some other aspect to deem in an ECG of a patient
complaining of pain in chest. The T wave in an ECG is a representation of the heart's
ventricles repolarizing. The large percentage of T waves must be favourable and irregular,
with a delayed upstroke and a quick downstroke. T waves in limb prospects should be less
than 5 mm, and T waves in chest prospects should be less than 10 mm. During this patient's
initial ECG, it was critical to rule out any abnormalities in T wave presentation that could
indicate underlying heart pathology (7). ( Silva, et al. (2017), presented a case study of a 41
year old female who is suffering from haemophilia and suffered pain in the chest which was
radiating from left hand. It was followed by chest tightness and breathing difficulties. In the
above and this case study it was found that cigarette smoking and obesity was one of the
prime cause of myocardial infarction. Blood pressure was high in both the cases. In the case
study by Silva, the ECG represented elevation in the ST segment in lead II, III and aVF which
led to diagnosis of MI (14).
Learning Points
· Myocardial infarction is caused due to restricted inflow of blood to the heart muscle.
· The heart muscles that are affected start to die as a result of it
· The symptoms generally include pain in the chest that radiates from left arm, nausea,
breathlessness, fatigue, excessive sweating.
· If not addressed on time can be very fatal.
