Stroke prevention
Stroke is a major health problem that is largely preventable through lifestyle modifications and treatment of risk factors. Primary prevention focuses on treatment of risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol through medications and lifestyle changes. Secondary prevention for those who have had a stroke centers around the mnemonic ABCDE - antiplatelets, blood pressure control, smoking cessation, diet and exercise. Transient ischemic attacks also require urgent evaluation and treatment to prevent future strokes, with over 10% risk of stroke within 3 months. Risk stratification tools like ABCD2 score can help determine need for hospital admission and guide management.
Stroke
A stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is caused by disrupted blood flow to the brain resulting in ischemia or hemorrhage. Risk factors include advanced age, male gender, family history, hypertension, heart disease, hyperlipidemia, obesity, smoking, and diabetes. Strokes are classified as ischemic (caused by blood clots) or hemorrhagic (caused by ruptured blood vessels). Symptoms include numbness, confusion, speech problems, vision issues, and headaches. Diagnostic tests include CT scans, MRIs, and angiograms. Medical management focuses on thrombolysis for ischemic strokes and anticoagulation therapy. Nursing assessments evaluate risk factors, symptoms, and management of

A comprehensive program includes assessment, counseling for nutrition/weight management, blood pressure/lipid/diabetes management, tobacco cessation, exercise training, and psychosocial support. Exercise training in cardiac rehabilitation increases aerobic capacity and reverses atherosclerosis progression. Home-based high-intensity interval training can be as effective as hospital-based programs in improving peak oxygen uptake.
Stroke Awareness
This document discusses stroke, its causes, symptoms, treatments, and importance of early intervention. Stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying the brain is blocked by a clot or ruptures, depriving brain tissue of oxygen. Early recognition of stroke symptoms using the FAST test and immediate medical treatment are crucial, as every minute of delay causes further brain damage. Specialized stroke units and clot-busting drugs within 4.5 hours of symptoms can significantly improve outcomes. Rehabilitation is also important for recovery. Lifestyle changes can help prevent additional strokes. Public awareness and advocacy are needed to improve stroke care worldwide.
Sudden cardiac death
Sudden cardiac death is the sudden, unexpected death caused by loss of heart function, most often due to abnormal heart rhythms. It accounts for about half of heart disease deaths and can result from structural heart issues or heart attacks. While generally unpredictable, factors like high blood pressure, smoking, inactivity, and family history can increase risk. For those at high risk, screening and interventions like Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators may help reduce risk or treat abnormal heart rhythms. Lifestyle changes to reduce risk factors and treatment of underlying conditions may also help decrease risk of sudden cardiac death.

3) Treatment for ischemic stroke includes antiplatelet drugs, treatment for underlying conditions, and rehabilitation. Treatment for hemorrhagic stroke focuses on supportive care and sometimes surgery to remove blood from the brain. With treatment, 30-40% of patients recover, 30% remain
Heart Attack
A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked, damaging the heart muscle. It is typically caused by coronary heart disease, which is related to risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity. Symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain or discomfort. Diagnosis involves electrocardiograms, blood tests for cardiac enzymes, echocardiograms, and sometimes cardiac catheterization. Prevention focuses on not smoking, regular exercise, a healthy diet, weight control, and managing conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol.
transient ischemic attacks- advances in diagnosis & mx
This document discusses advances in the diagnosis and management of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) in the emergency department. Some key points:
- The definition of a TIA has evolved to be "transient episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by focal brain, spinal cord, or retinal ischemia, without acute infarction."
- MRI is more sensitive than CT for detecting early signs of infarction and should be used within 24 hours. Up to 30% of previous TIAs may have actually caused small brain infarcts.
- Risk of stroke is highest in the first 90 days after a TIA, so rapid diagnosis and treatment are important. Treatment involves antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulants for atrial fib
Brain Attackdefinitionandidofstrokepresentaiton
The document defines stroke and provides statistics about its prevalence. It discusses the two main types of strokes - ischemic and hemorrhagic - and their causes. Transient ischemic attacks are described as temporary stroke-like symptoms. Risk factors for stroke are outlined such as age, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and family history. Signs and symptoms of stroke are listed. The importance of rapid treatment is stressed as time lost can cause greater brain damage.
Neuropsychiatric aspects of Cerebrovascular Disorders
The association of neuropsychiatric disorders with cerebrovascular disease has been recognized by clinicians for over 100 years. Disease of the vascular system contribute greatly to the sum total of psychiatric disability, chiefly in the elderly population, mainly as a result of stroke, cerebrovascular accidents & subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Myocarditis & Cardiomyopathy.pptx
Heart muscle disease, is a type of progressive heart disease in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, thickened, and/or stiffened. As a result, the heart muscle's ability to pump blood is less efficient, often causing heart failure and the backup of blood into the lungs or rest of the body.

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.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
