Ventilation and Perfusion in different zones of lungs.Gyaltsen Gurung
This powerpoint presentation will make you explore about the Perfusion and Ventilation in different zones of lungs with its co-relation with pulmonary tuberculosis.
Following induction of anesthesia, factors such as decreased functional residual capacity, increased ventilation/perfusion mismatching, and development of atelectasis can increase venous admixture from 1% to around 10%. Anesthetic agents also suppress hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and decrease cardiac output, reducing oxygen delivery. However, anesthesia and artificial ventilation lower oxygen requirements by around 15-21% due to decreased metabolism and work of breathing. Oxygen is transported in the blood bound to hemoglobin or dissolved in plasma, and the oxygen dissociation curve illustrates hemoglobin's changing affinity for oxygen at different partial pressures. Multiple factors can shift this curve, facilitating either oxygen loading or unloading as needed.
Compliance Resistance & Work Of Breathing Zareer Tafadar
This document discusses the mechanics of respiration and resistance to breathing. It covers:
1. Elastic resistance makes up around 65% of total resistance and is due to the elastic recoil of lung tissue and surface tension forces. Lung compliance measures a lung's elastic resistance.
2. Non-elastic resistance accounts for the remaining 35% and includes airway resistance. Dynamic compliance is lower than static compliance due to factors like airway obstruction.
3. Several lung diseases can decrease compliance by increasing elastic or non-elastic resistance, requiring more work from respiratory muscles. Surfactant reduces surface tension forces and the work of breathing.
This document discusses oxygen transport and delivery in the body. It covers:
1. Oxygen is transported bound to hemoglobin (97%) and dissolved in plasma (3%). Oxygen diffuses from alveoli into plasma and binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells.
2. Arterial oxygen content is determined by dissolved oxygen and oxygen bound to hemoglobin. Normal arterial content is 20 ml O2/100ml blood. Venous content is normally 15 ml O2/100ml blood.
3. Oxygen delivery depends on cardiac output and arterial oxygen content. Normal delivery is 1000 ml O2/min. Oxygen uptake by tissues is normally 250 ml O2/min.

Dr. Nilesh Kate's document discusses the transport of carbon dioxide in the body. It describes how CO2 moves from cells to blood through diffusion down a partial pressure gradient, and is transported in the blood in three forms: dissolved, bicarbonate, and carbamino compounds. The document outlines the roles of hemoglobin, oxygen levels, and temperature in facilitating CO2 transport from tissues to the lungs, where it diffuses into the alveolar air and is exhaled. Key factors like pH regulation and the respiratory quotient are also briefly covered.

Ventilation perfusion ratio (The guyton and hall physiology)Maryam Fida
Ventilation perfusion ratio is :
“The ratio of alveolar ventilation and the amount of blood that perfuse the alveoli”.
FORMULA
It is expressed as VA/Q.
VA is alveolar ventilation
Q is the blood flow (perfusion)
Normal value of ventilation perfusion ratio is about
0.8
VA is 4.2 L /min
Q is 5.5 L/min (Same as Cardiac output)
So VA/Q = 4.2/5.5 = 0.8
If VA becomes zero ratio becomes zero
If Q becomes zero ratio becomes infinite.
If ratio becomes zero or infinite then there is no gaseous exchange. So this ratio indicates the efficiency of gaseous exchange in lungs.
In standing or sitting position this ratio is not uniform in all parts of the lungs.
In standing position, in upper parts of lungs there is almost no blood flow so normally in upper parts of lungs the ratio is higher may be near 3.
In lower part of lungs, there is more blood flow so the ratio is decreased may be 0.6.
In certain diseases the VA/Q ratio is higher which means perfusion is inadequate i.e. in some parts of lungs the alveoli are non functional or partially functional. This is seen in cases of pulmonary thrombosis or embolism.
When there is higher VA/Q ratio, PO2 and PCO2 in the alveolar air resembles the values in the inspired air.
When exchange is not occurring because of lack of perfusion, inspired air goes to alveoli, as there is no exchange occurring so the same values of PCO2 and PO2 as in inspired air.
The document discusses lung elastance, compliance, and work of breathing. It defines key terms like elastance, compliance, and surface tension. It describes the elastance of the thoracic cage and lungs, the role of pulmonary surfactant in reducing surface tension, and how compliance is measured. It also explains the different components of work of breathing, including overcoming elastic, viscous, and airway resistance, and how work of breathing is affected in restrictive and obstructive lung diseases.
The document summarizes the chemical control of respiration through respiratory chemoreceptors. There are three types of chemoreceptors: peripheral chemoreceptors located in the carotid bodies and aortic bodies that detect changes in arterial pCO2, pO2, and pH; central or medullary chemoreceptors located in the brainstem that are stimulated by increased hydrogen ion concentration in cerebrospinal fluid; and both peripheral and central chemoreceptors work together to maintain homeostasis and stimulate respiration in response to changes in oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen ion levels in order to regulate respiration.
The document discusses the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve, which plots the percentage of hemoglobin in its oxygen-saturated form against the partial pressure of oxygen. It shows how hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it in tissues. The curve has a plateau section in the lungs where oxygen binding is not greatly affected by changes in pressure, and a steep section in tissues where small pressure drops release large amounts of oxygen. The P50 value indicates the partial pressure at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated and can shift based on conditions affecting hemoglobin's oxygen affinity.
Bohr’s effect- The Bohr effect is a physiological phenomenon first described by Danish physiological Christian Bohr, stating that the “oxygen binding affinity of hemoglobin is inversely related to the concentration of carbon dioxide and hydrogen ion.
#An increase in blood CO2 concentration which leads to decrease in blood pH will results in hemoglobin proteins releasing their oxygen load.
#One of the factor that Bohr discovered was pH. He found that if the pH is lower than the normal, then hemoglobin does not bind oxygen.
#And this effect of CO2 on oxygen dissociation curve is known as Bohr effect.
Haldane effect- The Haldane effect is first discovered by John Scott Haldane.
#The Haldane effect describe the phenomenon by which binding of oxygen to hemoglobin promotes the release of carbon dioxide.
#Haldane effect is the mirror image of Bohr effect.
#The decrease in carbon dioxide leads to increase in the pH, which result in hemoglobin picking up more oxygen.
#This is a helpful biochemical feature which facilitates exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen in the pulmonary and peripheral circulations.
Cardiac reflexes involve afferent and efferent nerve pathways between the heart and central nervous system that help regulate cardiac function and homeostasis. Key reflexes discussed include the baroreceptor reflex, which helps maintain blood pressure, and the Bezold-Jarisch reflex, which causes hypotension, bradycardia, and coronary artery dilation in response to ventricular stimuli. Preventing or treating reflex cardiovascular changes during surgery may involve atropine, local anesthesia, lignocaine infusion, or adjusting anesthesia depth.
This document discusses the history and evolution of anesthesia monitoring standards from the early days of visual monitoring through the development of electronic monitors. It outlines key events that improved safety such as the establishment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation in 1985 and the development of monitoring standards in 1985 and 1986. The standards require continual evaluation of oxygenation, ventilation, circulation and temperature during all anesthetics using minimum monitoring equipment including pulse oximetry, capnography and ECG. The techniques and limitations of various monitors are reviewed.
This document defines key terms related to gas exchange and ventilation in the lungs. It discusses functional residual capacity, residual volume, vital capacity, and inspiratory capacity. It defines serial and physiological dead space and how they are measured. It describes how to calculate alveolar ventilation rate given pulmonary ventilation rate, dead space volume, and respiratory rate. It explains the processes of ventilation, perfusion, and the ventilation/perfusion ratio in the lungs.
The document discusses several cardiac reflexes that contribute to regulating cardiac function and maintaining homeostasis. It describes the baroreceptor reflex, which senses changes in blood pressure via stretch receptors in the carotid sinus and aortic arch. When pressure is high, it decreases heart rate and contractility. The chemoreceptor reflex senses low oxygen or acidosis via carotid and aortic bodies and increases ventilation and heart rate. Other reflexes discussed include the Brainstem reflex, Bezold-Jarisch reflex, Valsalva maneuver, Cushing reflex, and occulocardiac reflex.
This document defines and describes the different types of dead space in the lungs, including anatomical, physiological, alveolar, and apparatus dead space. It explains that physiological dead space is greater than anatomical dead space due to the inclusion of alveolar dead space. The document also outlines methods to measure anatomical and physiological dead space, such as Fowler's method and Bohr's equation. Factors that can influence the amounts of anatomical and alveolar dead space are also discussed.
Anatomy & physiology of neuromuscular junction & monitoringhavalprit
The document summarizes key aspects of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). It discusses how the NMJ functions as a synapse to transmit signals from motor neurons to muscles.

It also explains the roles of acetylcholine, acetylcholinesterase, and ion channels in the signal transmission and muscle contraction processes at the NMJ.
This document discusses cerebral blood flow and its regulation. It begins with an introduction to the components inside the skull and the Monro-Kellie doctrine. It then covers the anatomy of brain circulation discovered by Willis in 1664, including the anterior and posterior circulations and collateral pathways. Regulation of cerebral blood flow is achieved through hemodynamic autoregulation, metabolic and chemical mediators, neural control, and circulatory peptides. Clinical measurement techniques include laser Doppler flowmetry, transcranial Doppler, and imaging modalities like CT, MRI, PET, and SPECT. Factors like age, hypertension, and failure of autoregulation can impact cerebral blood flow and its regulation.
This document provides an overview of respiratory physiology, including:

3. It covers topics related to gas exchange including the roles of surfactant and preoxygenation in increasing oxygen stores in the lungs.
4. It discusses the concepts of ventilation, dead space, and the measurement of physiological dead space using the Bohr equation.
The cardiac cycle begins with an electrical impulse from the sinoatrial node that causes atrial contraction. This is followed by a delayed impulse from the atrioventricular node that causes ventricular contraction. The cycle involves electrical and mechanical events represented by the ECG. Cardiac function is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and hormones. Parasympathetic stimulation decreases heart rate while sympathetic stimulation increases it. Important cardiac reflexes maintain homeostasis by regulating heart rate and contractility in response to pressure and chemical sensors.
The document discusses capillary circulation and microcirculation. It covers the structure of capillaries including their thin endothelial cell walls allowing for exchange of nutrients, wastes, and fluid. It describes the Starling forces that govern fluid filtration and exchange between blood and tissues, including capillary pressure, plasma and interstitial fluid oncotic pressures, and other factors. It also discusses edema, the accumulation of excess fluid in tissues, which can occur intracellularly or extracellularly due to various causes that impact capillary permeability or lymph flow.
1. Factors affecting uptake and distribution of inhalational anesthetic agents include inspired concentration, alveolar concentration, blood:gas partition coefficient, cardiac output, and ventilation.
2. Factors affecting alveolar concentration include solubility, alveolar blood flow, and tissue uptake. Minute ventilation and agent solubility also impact alveolar concentration.

The document discusses the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of inhalational anesthetic agents in detail.
This document summarizes the mechanisms of oxygen and carbon dioxide transportation in the body. It explains that oxygen is transported primarily bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells (98.5%), while carbon dioxide is transported through dissolved, chemically bound, and bicarbonate ion forms. Key aspects covered include cooperative binding of oxygen to hemoglobin, the oxygen dissociation curve, and factors like pH, temperature, and carbon dioxide levels that affect oxygen unloading from hemoglobin in tissues. The roles of carbonic acid, bicarbonate ions, and carbaminohemoglobin in carbon dioxide transport are also described, as well as the interacting Bohr and Haldane effects.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
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.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.
