Lecture6 muscle tissue
There are three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle consists of cylindrical muscle fibers that contain multiple nuclei. The fibers contain filaments called myofibrils which are made up of thick and thin filaments that give the striated appearance to skeletal muscle. Contraction occurs via the sliding filament model where the overlapping thick and thin filaments slide past each other, shortening the muscle. Calcium released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum binds to troponin, exposing actin binding sites for myosin cross-bridging and contraction.
Physiologyof Coagulation
The document summarizes the physiology of blood coagulation, including the five main components (vessels, platelets, coagulation factors, inhibitors, fibrinolysis) and how they work together in a complex system. It describes platelet activation and aggregation to form a platelet plug, coagulation factors that amplify to form a fibrin mesh to strengthen the clot, and fibrinolysis to prevent excessive clotting and allow blood to flow again. A balance is needed between coagulation and anticoagulation/fibrinolysis to control clotting.
Cavitation
Cavitation occurs when cavities form in liquid due to pressure changes and then rapidly collapse, producing shockwaves. There are two types: inertial cavitation involves rapid bubble collapse producing shockwaves, while non-inertial cavitation involves bubble oscillation due to acoustic energy. Cavitation commonly occurs in pumps, propellers, and where liquids experience pressure changes, and can cause damage through noise, vibrations and material erosion. Solutions involve redesigning systems, changing materials, reducing turbulence, and adding anti-cavitation agents.
No- scalpel vasectomy
The document summarizes the procedure for a vasectomy. A small incision is made in the scrotum using local anesthesia. A piece of vas deferens at least 1cm long is removed after clamping and the cut ends are ligated and folded away from each other. Sterility is not immediate and may take up to 30 ejaculations. Potential complications include pain, infection, and spontaneous recanalization. The document also describes the non-scalpel vasectomy procedure and post-operative care instructions.
Tonsillectomy
Tonsillectomy is commonly performed to treat recurrent throat infections. Absolute indications for tonsillectomy include recurrent infections, peritonsillar abscesses, tonsillitis causing seizures, tonsil hypertrophy causing obstruction, and suspicion of malignancy. Relative indications include being a carrier of diphtheria or streptococcus. The operation is usually done under general anesthesia with the patient in Rose's position. The tonsils are grasped, dissected from surrounding tissue, and removed using a wire snare. Post-operative care involves pain management, oral hygiene, diet progression, and antibiotics to prevent infection. Potential complications include bleeding, infection, and scarring.
Periodontal microsurgery
This document discusses microsurgery, which refers to surgery performed under magnification using microscopes or loupes. Microsurgery principles include improving motor skills, passive wound closure with exact apposition, and use of microinstruments to reduce tissue trauma. Loupes and operating microscopes provide variable magnification from 1.5x to 20x. Microsurgical instruments are 15cm long with very fine tips to allow precise manipulation. Microsurgery offers advantages like cleaner incisions and reduced hemorrhage compared to conventional surgery. It has clinical applications in periodontal, restorative, and implant procedures. The document concludes that microsurgery can improve results of various procedures and many can now be done minimally invasively.

This document discusses the anesthetic challenges of performing thyroidectomy for a patient with a large retrosternal goiter. It outlines the preoperative evaluation and planning required, including airway assessment, optimization of thyroid function, and involvement of a multidisciplinary team. Specific challenges addressed are potential for difficult intubation, intraoperative blood loss and cardiovascular compromise, postoperative tracheomalacia, and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Careful preparation and perioperative management are needed for a successful outcome in these high-risk cases.
Balloon sinuplasty-slides-091216
- Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive technique for treating sinusitis using balloon catheters to dilate sinus ostia rather than conventional endoscopic sinus surgery.
- Studies show balloon sinuplasty improves symptoms in selected patients with chronic sinusitis and is safe, with minimal adverse effects. However, longer term data is still needed to define its optimal role and indications.
- While initial data is promising for symptom relief and preservation of sinus anatomy compared to traditional FESS, balloon sinuplasty may not eliminate the need for conventional sinus surgery in all patients.

OIU review article
This document summarizes developments in direct visual internal urethrotomy (DVIU) for treating urethral strictures. It discusses techniques for DVIU, factors that influence outcomes, and the long-term efficacy of DVIU. While initial studies reported high success rates of around 80%, more recent long-term studies have found much lower success rates of only around 8-30%. Recurrence rates are higher for longer strictures, greater spongiofibrosis, distal strictures, and when DVIU is repeated for recurrent strictures. Overall, DVIU has relatively poor long-term outcomes for treating urethral strictures.
Tonsillectomy
Tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the palatine tonsils. It is indicated for recurrent throat infections, tonsillitis causing medical issues, or enlarged tonsils obstructing breathing.
Pre-operative assessment involves evaluating the patient's medical history, examining the throat, and in some cases checking coagulation or doing a sleep study. Certain conditions like bleeding disorders or Down syndrome require special pre-operative management.
The surgery involves using various techniques like dissection and snare to separate the tonsils from surrounding tissue and remove them. Post-operative care focuses on pain management, diet, hygiene and watching for potential complications like bleeding or infection. Newer techniques aim to reduce morbidity through less invasive procedures

This document discusses airway management in anesthesia. It provides statistics on the use of different airway devices in the UK. It then discusses predictors of difficult intubation and grades of laryngeal views. Alternative airway devices that can be used for difficult intubation are presented such as the Airtraq, LMAs, and intubating LMA. Failure rates for different airway procedures in routine and emergency cases are summarized. It emphasizes that in difficult cases, changing the approach rather than repeated attempts at the same technique is important. The document stresses having an explicit strategy rather than just a plan for managing difficult airways and airway emergencies. It concludes by noting the importance of airway management training to reduce complications.
Combined Spinal Epidural Anesthesia
The document describes combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA). It discusses the anatomy related to CSEA, including the spinal cord, subarachnoid space, epidural space, and bony landmarks. It also covers the physiology of regional anesthesia, advantages of CSEA over other techniques, indications for CSEA, prerequisites, contraindications, problems that can occur, and techniques for performing CSEA.
Endolymphatic Hydrops Surgery talk NOTSA 2022 (FINAL) .pptx
Endolymphatic hydrops, or excess fluid buildup in the inner ear, can cause Meniere's disease which features episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Surgical interventions aim to reduce these symptoms by addressing the endolymphatic sac, but their efficacy compared to placebo is unclear due to the natural fluctuations of the disease. A landmark 1981 sham study found that a simple mastoidectomy was as effective as endolymphatic sac surgery, casting doubt on surgeries' benefits. However, advocates argue surgeries still help when medical options fail, though more research is needed to prove their efficacy while avoiding harm.
Management of iatrogenic bilateral vocal cord
This document reports on two cases of patients with iatrogenic bilateral vocal cord paralysis treated successfully with endoscopic transoral CO2 laser surgery. Both patients developed severe breathing problems after thyroid surgery that paralyzed both vocal cords. Laser posterior cordectomy and partial arytenoidectomy was performed to create a glottic opening while preserving voice quality and preventing aspiration. Both patients experienced significant symptomatic relief after surgery and were discharged within two days. The CO2 laser procedure allows for increased precision, hemostasis and minimal tissue handling in managing this condition.

The document compares laparoscopic appendectomy and open appendectomy for treating pediatric appendicitis. 260 patients were randomly assigned to either laparoscopic or open appendectomy. Results showed laparoscopic appendectomy had shorter incision lengths, less blood loss, shorter operation time, earlier time to leave bed and eat, and lower incidence of complications like infection. The conclusion is that laparoscopic appendectomy results in less trauma and faster recovery than open appendectomy for pediatric appendicitis patients.RCT on Base tie in laparoscopic appendecomy (Journal Club).pptx

July 2013 audit presentation ga and lrti
This document discusses the case of an 83-year old man who underwent brain surgery for a meningioma despite having significant medical comorbidities and an active chest infection. He developed severe postoperative respiratory complications requiring a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit. The case highlights the importance of thoroughly assessing high-risk patients preoperatively, acting on abnormal findings, and documenting key details. Literature suggests active chest infections significantly increase the risk of postoperative pneumonia, so delaying this man's surgery may have prevented his complications. Poor documentation and assessment were issues in this preventable case.

Management of iatrogenic bilateral vocal cord paralysis by endoscopic transor...
Bilateral vocal fold paralysis is a rare condition. The commonest cause identified is mostly iatrogenic. It can be extremely debilitating for the patient who usually suffers from severe breathlessness on slightest exertion. Many of them requires a tracheostomy to maintain airway. The treatment of bilateral vocal cord palsy is a balance between phonation, airway and swallowing. Several surgical modalities have been described for cases which doesn’t improve with conservative management. However transoral CO2 laser endoscopic aryte-noidectomy has become the standard of management today for this condition. CO2 laser is arguably the most appropriate tool for cordectomy with the advantage of increased pre-cision, better hemostasis and minimal tissue handling. We describe the procedure of posterior cordectomy with partial arytenoidectomy using transoral CO2 laser in two pa-
tients who were successfully managed for this condition in our centre.

1) Such cases pose airway management challenges such as difficult intubation and potential for airway obstruction or cardiovascular compromise.
2) Thorough preoperative evaluation and optimization is important including imaging to assess tracheal compression and deviation.
3) A multidisciplinary team approach is needed and various techniques may be used to secure the airway including awake fiberoptic intubation or potential for emergency tracheostomy.
4) Close perioperative monitoring is required and postoperative complications like tracheomalacia must be watched for.
Endovenous or surgical treatment of cvi
This document discusses various treatment options for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), including endovenous ablation techniques (radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and endovenous laser ablation (EVLA)) and surgical treatment. It provides data on the increasing use of RFA and EVLA compared to surgery based on number of procedures performed in the US from 2002-2008. It summarizes evidence that RFA and EVLA provide similar clinical results as surgery with less post-operative pain, faster recovery times, and earlier return to normal activities. However, long-term data on recurrence rates beyond 3 years is still limited.
Weaning: The art and science
Dr. Sujay Halkur Shankar presented on the topic of weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. The presentation covered assessing patient readiness, different weaning methods like spontaneous breathing trials, factors that can cause difficulty weaning like respiratory, cardiac and neuromuscular issues, and post-extubation care. Spontaneous breathing trials are the preferred method of weaning and have higher rates of success than pressure support or intermittent mandatory ventilation. Factors that can contribute to weaning failure include increased respiratory load or drive, decreased respiratory muscle strength, and cardiac dysfunction induced by weaning.

Aro2004 Jasko
The study investigated how optic flow in the central and peripheral visual fields influences upright posture. Twenty subjects were exposed to visual stimuli moving at different frequencies in the central and peripheral regions. There was significantly more sway in response to the peripheral stimulus compared to the central stimulus, suggesting the postural system is more sensitive to motion in the peripheral visual field. Within most test conditions, sway normalized to quiet stance was also greater for the peripheral frequency compared to the central frequency. The findings indicate that peripheral visual cues have a stronger influence on postural control than central cues.

The document discusses using wavelet time-frequency analysis to analyze transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) in order to accurately estimate the relationship between TEOAE latency and cochlear frequency tuning. One-dimensional transmission line cochlear models predict that the TEOAE latency-frequency relation depends on whether or not scale-invariance holds in the cochlea. The latency of a given frequency component can be separated into parts, one of which depends on cochlear quality factor Q(f), allowing an objective estimate of cochlear tuning. Coherent reflection filtering theory relates the spontaneous otoacoustic emission (SOAE) minimum spacing to cochlear tuning as measured by Q

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.
