Hematology cell book
This document discusses the key characteristics of four types of white blood cells (WBCs): neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. Neutrophils have a segmented nucleus that stains dark purple and a coarse, clumped appearance. Lymphocytes are the smallest WBC with a smooth, round or oval nucleus and large, dark staining nucleus. Monocytes are the largest circulating WBC with an oval, indented, or horseshoe shaped nucleus. Eosinophils have a nucleus usually divided into two or three lobes that stains purple with bright reddish-orange granules.
Presentation 1 exfoliation and uveitis
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome was first described in 1917 and is characterized by the deposition of pseudoexfoliative material on ocular tissues. It is prevalent worldwide, affecting approximately 5% of populations in Europe and South Africa. The deposits can be seen on the lens capsule, ciliary body, iris, and trabecular meshwork. Pseudoexfoliation syndrome increases the risk of developing glaucoma and cataracts. Cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome can be challenging due to the increased risk of complications like iris inflammation, posterior synechiae formation, and intraoperative miosis.
intracranial space occupying lession (pediatrics)
This document discusses intracranial space occupying lesions (ICSOL) in children, including their causes, signs and symptoms, and clinical features. ICSOLs put pressure on the brain and cause damage by disrupting nearby structures, raising intracranial pressure, and causing electrical disturbances. Common causes include tumors, infections like abscesses and cysticercosis, and vascular lesions. Signs and symptoms vary depending on the location of the lesion but can include headaches, vomiting, seizures, cranial nerve palsies, and neurological deficits. Diagnosis is typically made using imaging tests like CT or MRI scans. Treatment involves managing increased intracranial pressure, addressing the underlying cause, and sometimes surgery.
Cortical dysplasia
Cortical dysplasia is a malformation of cortical development caused by abnormal neuronal migration or organization during brain development. It can cause intractable epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism. The lecture discusses normal brain development and corticogenesis. It then covers specific malformations including focal cortical dysplasia, describing their histopathology and clinical correlates. Recent research suggests focal disruptions of cortical layering found in children with autism may represent early cortical dysplasia, providing insight into a potential cause of autism.

Surgical approach for tumors in the lateral and third ventricle
Professor Sherif Elwatidy explains in this lecture the approach to the lateral and third ventricle with emphasis on the anatomy of the region and through the trajectory.
Anatomy of the retina
The retina is the innermost layer of the eyeball and consists of two main layers - the outer retinal pigment epithelium and the inner neurosensory layer. The retinal pigment epithelium is a single layer of hexagonal cells that absorbs light and supports the photoreceptor cells. The neurosensory layer contains the photoreceptor cells (rods and cones), bipolar cells, ganglion cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells, and Muller cells arranged into 10 distinct layers. The retina receives its blood supply from both the choroidal capillaries and the central retinal artery and vein.

Retinal anatomy lecture 11
The retina is a thin, multilayered neural tissue that lines the inner posterior wall of the eyeball. It extends from the ciliary body anteriorly to the ora serrata, with its outer surface attached to the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid. The inner surface is attached to the vitreous humor. The retina receives its blood supply from the choriocapillaris in the outer third and branches of the central retinal artery in the inner two-thirds, with the fovea supplied solely by the choriocapillaris. It has multiple layers and contains rod and cone photoreceptor cells.
ocular diff diagnosis2
This document discusses headaches from a clinical optometry perspective. It defines headaches, notes that the majority are benign but some can be caused by serious underlying conditions. It describes pain-sensitive structures in the head, mechanisms of head pain, and the International Headache Society's classification of primary and secondary headaches. The document stresses the importance of a thorough case history and examination, including external eye exam, motility, visual fields and acuity tests, and cranial nerve assessment to determine the cause and appropriate management of headaches. It lists some red flag danger signs that could indicate a serious underlying condition.
Retina preliminary
The document summarizes key aspects of retinal anatomy and physiology:
- The retina is the innermost layer of the eyeball and is divided into the posterior pole and peripheral retina. It contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones), bipolar cells, ganglion cells, and other supporting cells.
- The macula and fovea are specialized regions for high acuity central vision. The fovea contains a high concentration of cones and allows for the sharpest vision.
- Photoreceptor cells contain light-sensitive visual pigments and undergo a process of phototransduction to convert light signals to electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted through the retinal layers and optic nerve to the
RETINA - anatomy & physiology
The document summarizes the anatomy and physiology of the retina. It describes the three main regions of the retina - optic disc, macula lutea, and peripheral retina. It details the microscopic layers of the retina and the cells within each layer. It discusses the visual pigments rhodopsin and cone pigments, and how light induces photochemical changes in these pigments to initiate the visual process. Finally, it briefly outlines the pathway of visual signal transmission from the retina to the visual cortex.
Blood Supply Of Eye and Optic Nerve
The document summarizes the blood and nerve supply of the eye and optic nerve. It discusses the arterial supply which comes from branches of the internal and external carotid arteries. It then describes the specific branches like the central retinal artery and posterior ciliary arteries. It provides details on the venous drainage and nerve supply including the trigeminal, oculomotor, trochlear and abducent cranial nerves. In summary, it provides an overview of the arterial blood supply, venous drainage and cranial nerve innervation of the eye and optic nerve.
HEADACHE - CLASSIFICATION
The document outlines the classification of headaches according to the International Headache Society. It discusses the primary and secondary headaches, listing the specific types under each category. For the primary headaches, it describes the characteristics of migraine, tension-type headache, and cluster headaches. It also discusses the symptoms, locations, intensities, modes of onset and durations of different headache types to help with diagnosis. The document provides details on pain-sensitive and insensitive cranial structures and the pathways involved in headache pain. It explains the concept of referred pain from structures innervated by the trigeminal, cervical and other cranial nerves.
Retina and layers
The retina has 10 layers and contains photoreceptors that convert light into neural signals. The macula contains the highest density of cones and allows for sharp central vision. The fovea within the macula contains only cones laid out single file, allowing for the highest visual acuity. Photoreceptors synapse with bipolar and horizontal cells in the outer plexiform layer. The retinal pigment epithelium supports the photoreceptors and forms the blood-retina barrier.

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.
