The goal of surgical therapy in pulmonary hydatid disease is to remove the cyst while preserving as much lung tissue as possible. The surgical method may be different in the intact (simple) and ruptured (complicated) cysts. The operation has two steps: a) removal of the germinative layer, b) management of the residual pulmonary cavity. Simple cysts are generally removed after needle aspiration or enucleation without needle aspiration.
General principles of the operationThe aim of surgery in pulmonary hydatid cyst is to remove the cyst completely while preserving the lung tissue as much as possible . Lung resection is performed only if there is an irreversible and disseminated pulmonary destruction. Careful manipulation of the cyst and adherence to the precaution to avoid the contamination of the operative field with the cyst content is the imperative part of the operation.

Improving patient comfort by reducing pain is one of the concerns of a cardiac surgeon. Making the procedure less invasive is one of the ways bys which surgeons aim to achieve this.
Minimally invasive surgery is performed through a small incision, often using specialized surgical instruments. The incision is about three to four inches instead of the six to eight inch incision required for traditional surgery.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Introduction
• Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, used to diagnose
and treat illness or injury to the lungs and other organs in the thorax
• VATS has revolutionized the approach and management of many pulmonary and cardiac diseases
over the past 2 decades’
• It was first performed by Swedish physician Jacobeaus.
• Before this technique, the standard approach to a thoracic pathology was a thoracotomy.
• VATS has multiple advantage over traditional thoracotomy including less postoperative pain,
shorter hospital length of stay, earlier recovery of respiratory function(COPD and elderly) and
overall reduced cost.
3. Contd..
• In VATS procedure, surgeons operate through 2-4 tiny openings between the ribs. Each opening is
less than 1 inch in diameter whereas 6-10 inch incisions are common in open thoracotomy.
• All VATS procedure generally start with the same way.
• Patients are placed under general anaesthesia and are typically positioned on their sides.
• Using a trocar, the surgeon gains access into the chest cavity through a space between the ribs.
• An endoscope is inserted through the trocar, giving the surgeon a magnified view of the patient’s
internal organs on a monitor.

5. Indications for video assisted thoracic surgery
Diagnostic
• Midiastinal lymph node biopsy
• Pleuroscopy/ pleural biopsy.
• Tissue/lymph node biopsy
• Chest wall biopsy
• Cancer staging
Therapeutic
• Pulmonary resection (most commonly for lung
cancer)
• Pulmonary bleb/ bullae resection
• Pleural drainage(pneumothorax ,
hemithorax,empyema)
• Pericardial effusion drainage
• Mechanical/chemical pleurodesis.
• Excision/biopsy of mediastinal masses and
nodules
• Excision of esophageal
diverticulum/esophagectomy
• Thoracic duct ligation
6. Equipments
• Thoracoscope , high resolution video camera.
• A light source and cable
• Camera
• Image processor
• Monitors
• Scissors
• Hook
• Trocar
7. For affective VATS operations, several basic principles should be applied.
• Place trocar sites and thoracoscope at a distance from the lesion to achieve a panoramic view.
• Avoid instrument crowding which may result in fencing.
• Avoid mirror imaging by positioning instruments and thoracoscope within the same 180 degree
arc.
• Instruments should be manipulated only when seen directly through the thoracoscope.
• Work together with anesthesiologist to ensure adequate lung isolation.
• Utilize both hands to manipulate the instruments in coordinated fashion.
• Understand that conversion to thoracotomy is not a failure but an appropriate option when the
performance of VATS is limited by availability of equipment, technical difficulty or clinical
condition of the patient.
8. Patient positioning
• VATS requires most patients to be in a lateral decubitus position.
• This is accompanied by arching the table which helps to separate the ribs for better surgical access.
• This also helps by to relieve any pressure on the intercostal nerves.
• The lateral decubitus position provides adequate access to most thoracic structures which include
the lungs, pleura, esophagus, pericardium amongst other mediastinal structures.
• Care must be taken at all times to avoid nerve injury by adequately padding pressure points.
9.
10. Surgical technique
• The patient is administered anesthesia in supine position and a DLT is the airway device of choice
for most procedures.
• After DLT placement, the position of the tube is confirmed.
• The patient is positioned in lateral decubitus position with the arm over the hand.
• Arching of table is done to allow adequate exposure. The position of DLT is again rechecked.
• Three incisions are made and together they form a triangular configuration with the utility incision
at the apex of the triangle.
• The camera is inserted through this incision for the creation of other entry ports.
• After the creation of 3 ports, assessment is done using the thoracoscope.
• Further steps of the surgery are usually guided by the specific procedure to be performed.

13. Approaches to various thoracic surgical problems
Wedge resection of peripheral pulmonary nodules and closed lung biopsy
• We initiate a closed lung biopsy procedure by introducing the thoracoscope at the 6th or 7th ICS in
the midaxillary to posterior axillary line.
• After thoracoscopic exploration, a second access site is chosen in the 5th ICS along the anterior
axillary line.
• This alignment facilitates exposure and manipulation of most areas of lobar pathology and also
allows the application of the endoscopic stapler to different parts of the lungs for potential wedge
resection of infiltrative lung disease.
14. Apical bullous disease
• Other techniques like laser ablation and endoscopic ligation of the apical bullae can cause
spontaneous pneumothoraces.
• In this procedure, thoracoscopic camera is positioned through the 6th ICS along midaxillary line.
Endoscopic stapler through the posterolateral 4th and 5th ICS.
• A grasping instrument is placed through a small stab wound at the lateral border of pectoralis
muscle in the 4th ICS.
15. Pericardiectomy
• It is an another useful application of thoracoscopic surgery.
• Left sided thoracic approach is usually used but right sided approach can be used if a left sides
thoracotomy has been already performed or if a large right sided pleural effusion is present.
• We approach the pericardium from slightly posterior and lateral 5th, 7th and 9th ICS positions.
• Injury to phrenic nerve can occur if care is not taken.
16. Contraindications
• Patient unable to tolerate lung isolation/dependence on bilateral ventilation
• Intraluminal airway mass (making double lumen tube (DLT) placement difficult)
• Severe adhesions in the pleural cavity/pleural symphysis
• Coagulopathy
• Hemodynamic instability
• Severe hypoxia
• Severe COPD
• Severe pulmonary hypertension
17. Advantages of VATS
• Reduced acute pain
• Reduce use of intravenous narcotics
• Reduced length of hospitalization
• Reduced time to return to regular activities.
• Reduced overall cost.
• Operative time is faster or equivalent
• Blood loss is less.
• Lower incidence of post-thoracotomy pain.
