Myocarditis
Myocarditis is defined as inflammation of the myocardium that is characterized by inflammatory cell infiltrates and myocyte degeneration or necrosis. It is most often caused by viruses, which can damage the myocardium in three phases: acute viral replication, autoimmune injury, and a chronic dilated cardiomyopathy phase. Symptoms range from being asymptomatic to acute cardiogenic shock and sudden death, and may include fever, respiratory distress, chest discomfort, and signs of heart failure. Diagnosis involves electrocardiogram changes, chest x-ray showing cardiomegaly, echocardiogram demonstrating reduced systolic function, and endomyocardial biopsy identifying inflammation. Treatment is supportive with medications like ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers
Introduction to internal medicine

Myocarditis
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle that can be caused by infectious or non-infectious triggers. It has a variable clinical presentation ranging from mild symptoms to life-threatening conditions. The diagnosis is challenging due to the heterogeneity of symptoms but can involve electrocardiogram, cardiac biomarkers, echocardiogram, cardiac MRI and endomyocardial biopsy. About half of acute cases resolve in 2-4 weeks but some develop heart failure or arrhythmias. Treatment focuses on supporting heart function and managing symptoms while the disease runs its course.

Screening in colorectal cancers dr. ashutosh
Colorectal cancer screening provides benefits but also faces challenges. Effective screening requires tests that are sensitive, specific, reliable, reasonably cost, and low risk. Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard test due to its ability to detect polyps early and prevent cancer through removal. Guidelines from different organizations generally agree that average risk individuals should begin screening at age 50, but recommend different screening modalities and intervals.
What Their Poo Can Tell You: How FIT (iFOBT) Fits Your Colorectal Cancer Algo...
Everyone needs a colonoscopy at 50 for colorectal cancer prevention, but what if…they simply refuse? They can’t afford it due to insurance issues? We seem to have forgotten that the updated ACG guidelines of 2009 for first time recommend use of annual stool FIT testing as “the preferred cancer detection test” if colonoscopy was not available or refused. How does FIT differ from our venerable stool guaiac testing? And is it finally time to discard gFOBT (AKA guaiac testing) as an insensitive and nonspecific diagnostic tool? Join our conversation and see how FIT testing fits our current screening guidelines, your patients’ financial limitations, and your excellent medical care.

The document provides statistics and information on risks, screening guidelines, and programs for the most common cancers in African Americans - prostate cancer in men, breast cancer in women, and lung cancer. It aims to educate medical providers on discussing screening and addressing fears/mistrust patients may have regarding cancer screenings.
Screening, Surveillance And Diagnosis Of Colorectal Cancer
Screening and surveillance for colorectal cancer involves assessing risk based on family history and personal medical history to determine appropriate screening methods and schedules. The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program in Australia uses fecal immunochemical testing every 2 years for average risk individuals aged 50-74, with colonoscopy for positive tests. Participation rates are around 40-50% and cancer detection rates are around 5% for those undergoing colonoscopy. Ongoing evaluation aims to improve participation and outcomes.
Oncology step3
This document provides guidelines for various cancer screening tests including mammography, pap smear, colonoscopy, and flexible sigmoidoscopy. It outlines the starting age, frequency, and ending age for each test. A case study is presented regarding a 66 year old woman found to have a breast mass. Screening protocols and efficacy for colonoscopy in detecting colon cancer are discussed. Risk factors, staging, and treatments for colon and breast cancer are also summarized.
COLONPREV
The COLONPREV trial compared fecal immunochemical testing every 2 years to a one-time colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening in asymptomatic adults ages 50-69. An interim analysis found that FIT was non-inferior to colonoscopy for detecting colon cancer, though colonoscopy identified more adenomas. The main criticism is that the study is not yet completed, with mortality data to be collected through 2021. A limitation of FIT is that it cannot identify adenomas like colonoscopy can.

Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality varies globally, making it the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and second in females. Age is a major risk factor, with risk increasing significantly after age 40. Genetic factors like FAP and Lynch syndrome increase risk. Protective factors include physical activity, high fiber diet, calcium, and NSAIDs. Colonoscopy is the preferred screening method, recommended every 10 years starting at age 40-50 for average risk, or earlier/more often for those with family history of colorectal cancer or polyps.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Maryland. In 2008, it was estimated that 2,920 individuals in Maryland developed colorectal cancer and 940 died from it. Screening is important because early stages often have no symptoms. Screening tests include colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and fecal occult blood test for those ages 50 and over or with personal or family risk factors. Lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, eating fruits and vegetables, and avoiding tobacco can help reduce colorectal cancer risk.
Cancer Prevention
The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer through research, education, advocacy, and service. It helps people stay well through prevention education, helps people get well by providing informational and practical support services, and funds cancer research. The organization encourages lawmakers to continue funding cancer research and creating policies to fight cancer. It provides a cancer resource network to help cancer patients access information and resources through various programs and services.
Colon Cancer
Colon cancer develops slowly over many years, usually beginning as a non-cancerous polyp in the colon or rectum. Regular screening through tests such as fecal occult blood tests, flexible sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy can find polyps before they become cancerous. Finding and removing polyps can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 60-90%. If colon cancer is detected early through screening, it is often highly curable. The document recommends regular screening beginning at age 50 or earlier for those with risk factors like family history of colon cancer.
Defeating colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the Philippines. Screening is important for detecting colorectal cancer early, as the 5-year survival rates decrease with advanced stages. Risk factors include age over 50, family history, diet, obesity, smoking, and inflammatory bowel disease. Screening tools like fecal occult blood tests, sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy can find precancerous polyps before they develop into cancer. Regular screening is key to preventing colorectal cancer and decreasing mortality.
Primary care screening tests in adults geriatrics
The document summarizes guidelines for preventive health screenings from organizations like the US Preventive Services Task Force. It discusses screening recommendations for conditions like high blood pressure, obesity, breast cancer, cervical cancer, sexually transmitted infections, hepatitis C, colorectal cancer, and lipid disorders. The recommendations include screening age ranges and time intervals, accepted screening tests, and risk factors to consider for more frequent screening. The document emphasizes the importance of early preventive interventions to decrease mortality rates from leading causes of death.
Health Screening Schedules For Men & Women Aged 40+
The document provides screening guidelines for various health conditions for men and women aged 40 and older. It recommends that women get regular mammograms starting at age 40, have their blood pressure checked every 2 years, get cholesterol screening starting between ages 40-45, get screened for diabetes after age 45, and get osteoporosis screening and colon cancer screening depending on risk factors and age. It also provides guidelines for cervical cancer and other screenings. For men, it recommends blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and other screenings regularly beginning at various ages depending on risk factors.
Confused About Prostate Cancer Screening? Even Experts Don’t Always Agree
The four major medical organizations have differing recommendations on prostate cancer screening:
- The American Cancer Society recommends screening beginning at age 50 for average risk men, age 45 for high risk men, and age 40 for higher risk men. Screening should include a PSA test and may include a digital rectal exam.
- The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends baseline screening at ages 45-49 and annual or biannual screening beginning at age 50 depending on PSA levels. Screening should discontinue by ages 69-75 depending on PSA levels and risk factors.
- The American Urological Association does not recommend routine screening for those under age 40, ages 40-54 at average risk, or over age 70

Sudden Cardiac Death
Sudden cardiac death is defined as a natural death from cardiac causes within one hour of the onset of symptoms. It occurs in about 300,000 cases per year in the United States. Common causes include long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, commotio cordis, and coronary artery anomalies. Diagnosis involves electrocardiograms, cardiac imaging, and application of diagnostic criteria. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include medications, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, ablation procedures, and lifestyle modifications.
Chinle
The document provides information about the Chinle Service Unit of the Navajo Nation located in northeast Arizona. It serves approximately 34,000 patients across several facilities including the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility, Tsaile Health Center, and Pinon Health Center. Key facts about the Navajo Nation and population served are presented, including high rates of poverty and lack of infrastructure per 1990 and 2000 Census data.
Liver Failure Case
This document presents a case study of a 63-year-old male who developed fatal cholestatic liver failure. He had undergone surgery for bladder cancer and cholecystectomy. His liver function tests continued rising after surgery. Extensive testing found no clear cause of cholestasis. Liver biopsies showed features of obstruction or drug effect. He was exposed to imipramine and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, both known to cause cholestasis. Literature review found rare cases of progressive cholestasis and liver failure from these drugs. The patient's declining condition was treated supportively but he ultimately died of sepsis.
Riddler Q9
A 24-year-old former injection drug user presented with elevated blood and urine tests. Tests were positive for HIV but negative for hepatitis. Kidney ultrasound showed normal sized kidneys. A renal biopsy was performed. The most likely pattern of glomerular injury given these findings is collapsing focal and segmental glomerulonephritis, which is seen in HIV nephropathy.
Riddler Q6
A 20-year-old female in her first trimester of pregnancy is referred for progressive dyspnea. An echocardiogram shows severe pulmonary hypertension with right ventricular systolic pressure of 90 mmHg and systemic pressure of 110 mmHg. There is no evidence of pulmonary embolism or intracardiac shunt. Termination of pregnancy carries the lowest risk of maternal mortality given her new diagnosis of primary pulmonary hypertension, which carries a 30-50% risk. She should be counseled on termination and started on prostacyclin or bosentan therapy if she refuses. Anticoagulation should also be considered.
Riddler Q5
Magnesium depletion causes hypocalcemia through two main mechanisms: 1) Resistance to parathyroid hormone when magnesium levels fall below 0.8 meq/L, and 2) Decreased secretion of parathyroid hormone in patients with more severe hypomagnesemia. Severe hypermagnesemia above 6 mg/dL can also cause hypocalcemia by suppressing parathyroid hormone secretion.
Riddler Q9 Answer
The document describes a 76-year-old woman admitted with chest pain. Her medical history includes peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Her EKG shows ST-segment elevation. The question asks for medications that can lower her mortality risk in the ED and whether thrombolytics should be given if the cath lab is not available for 2 hours. Her 30-day mortality risk if reperfused within 4 hours is also asked.
Riddler Q4
The document discusses three separate topics. It mentions pericarditis presenting with diffuse ST elevations and PR depression on an ECG. It provides a historical fact that the first "White House" was a rented mansion in New York City that was later demolished for the Brooklyn Bridge. It also describes a case of a homeless man found down with hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia who had a very high blood alcohol level and low magnesium level.
Riddler Q3
The document discusses several medical cases and conditions:
1) Hypercalcemia is a systemic disease caused by increased calcitriol that can lead to kidney stones and failure.
2) Bilateral anterior uveitis is an eye inflammation that is usually treated with topical or injected steroids.
3) Erythema nodosum skin lesions and fever from sarcoidosis usually resolve within 6 weeks without treatment.
4) Persistent cough can be treated with inhaled steroids and bronchodilators.
Abd Pain ER Case Presentation
An 85-year-old man presented with 5 days of abdominal pain and worsening mental status. On exam, he had a suprapubic mass. Labs showed elevated creatinine. A renal ultrasound found right hydronephrosis. Inserting a Foley catheter drained 2500cc of urine and resolved the mass. He was diagnosed with urinary retention from an enlarged prostate and treated with catheterization, hydration, and medications for his prostate and urinary symptoms.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
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.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
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.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Acute Gout Care & Urate Lowering Therapy .pdf
