Menstrual cycle and its phase

Menstrual cycle and its phase Hello students and friends, today we are going to learn what is the menstrual cycle, its phase, symptoms, complications, and how the uterine changes occur. So, let's start with what is puberty? Puberty is the stage of life when childhood converts into adulthood. At this stage of life, the body will grow faster than at any other time. Development of secondary sexual characteristics. Male: 12-16 years Female: 10-16 years. There are five signs of puberty, given by Thanners and Marshal(scientists)- Thelarchae- Development of breast Adrenarche- Development of axillary hair(underarm hair) Pubarchae- Pubic hair Increase in height Menarche- In girls starting of the menstrual cycle(1st menses). There are 2 types of puberty- Precocious- there is the development of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 10 years. Delayed- puberty comes after the age of 16 years. What is the menstrual cycle? In the female reproductive system, natural changes occur in a

Physiology of heart and its abnormalities with medications 

Let's discuss the physiology of the heart, here we Include some topics related to the heart.
Here I'm also including a basic definition of all the medical terms used.
Firstly we have to know about systole and diastole, so at first, we discuss systole and diastole.

What is systole and what is diastole?
⟩ Systole occurs when there is a contraction of the heart and blood pumps out, diastole occurs when there is the relaxation of the heart after contraction.

CARDIAC CYCLE:

The cardiac cycle is defined as the sequence of events that occurs when the heart beats. In the cardiac cycle, there are four phases.

PHASES OF CARDIAC CYCLE:
1)Atrial systole
2)Atrial diastole
3)Ventricular systole
4)Ventricular diastole

Ventricular Systole= 0.3 seconds
Atrial Systole= 0.1 seconds
Atrial Diastole= 0.1 second
Ventricular Diastole = 0.3seconds
Total cardiac cycle = 0.8 seconds


CARDIAC OUTPUT:

~Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per unit per time.
Cardiac output = Stroke volume× Heart rate
                            = 70 ml/beat × 75 beats/ min
                            = 5.25 L/min.
"Stroke volume is defined as the vol. of blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart during each systolic cardiac contraction".

Blood Pressure:

According to age:
~18 years of age :
Male: 120/80
Female: 120/80
~19-24 years of age :
Male: 120/79
Female: 120/79
~60+ age
Male:135/88
Female: 134/84
~Written in SBP/DBP.

Systolic blood pressure:

•Systolic blood pressure is the amount of pressure or force generated by left ventricle to distribute blood into the aorta with each contraction of the heart.

~90-135mmHg (120).

•Affected by carbon dioxide and atrial distension.


Diastolic blood pressure:
Diastolic blood pressure is the amount of pressure or force taken by the artery during the relaxation phase of the heart.
•DBP. is the ability of the heart to rest while filling with blood.
•Affected by peripheral vascular resistance.
•Between 60 to 85 mmHg (80).

Mean B.P= D.B.P + ⅓ P.P
Pulse pressure(P.P.)= S.B.P – D.B.P
D.B.P= diastolic blood pressure
B.P= blood pressure
P.P= pulse pressure
S.B.P = systolic blood pressure

HYPERTENSION:

Hypertension is a condition in which the force of the blood is high against the artery walls.
STAGE1- 130-139 mmHg of systolic B.P. and 80-89 mmHg of Diastolic B.P.
STAGE2- ≥140 mmHg of systolic B.P. and  ≥90 mmHg of Diastolic B.P.

Cardiac auscultation heart sound:

•Heart sound is produced from the turbulence of blood caused by the closing of the heart valves.
• S1– atrioventricular valve closure (LUB)
• S2– semilunar valve closure (DUB)
• S3– rapid ventricular filling
• S4–atrial systole
~S3 may be heard pathologically.
~S4 is usually produced in case of uncontrolled hypertension. It is late the diastolic sound associated with diastolic contraction.

HEART ABNORMALITIES ABD ITS MEDICATIONS

  • Heart failure- Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE), Beta-blockers, Nitrates
  • High Blood Pressure - Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), Beta-blockers, Calcium channel blockers
  • Congestive heart failure - Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs)
  • Chest pain(Angina pectoris)-Beta- blockers, Calcium channel blockers, Nitrates
  • Arrhythmia- Beta-blockers, Calcium channel blockers
  • Heart cholesterol level increases - Cholesterol-lowering medications are given
  • Plaque buildup in the arteries- Antiplatelet agents
  • Atrial fibrillation- Antiplatelet agents

Lung anatomy, lobes, and fissures

By
Lung anatomy, lobes, and fissures Hello students and friends, today we are going to discuss lung anatomy , here we also learn what are bronchopulmonary segments, lobes of the lungs, fissures of the lungs, and also about its covering (pleura).  Tests, treatment, and conditions are also included in today’s topic. So let us start with its gross anatomy. Gross anatomy >Lungs are located in the chest on both sides of the heart in the rib cage(thoracic cavity). >They are conical in shape. >They are narrowly rounded – Apex at the top. >They have a broad base – rest on the diaphragm (matching its concavity) >The apex of the lung extends into the root of the neck and reaches shortly above the level of the sternal end of the 1st rib. >The medial surface of the lungs faces towards the center of the chest and lies against the heart, great vessels, and the carneae. Great vessels [IVC(Inferior vena cava), pulmonary artery, PV(pulmonary vein), SVC(superior vena cava), and aorta] w

Rheumatoid arthritis

By
Rheumatoid arthritis  Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition characterized by chronic inflammation, granulosa tissue formation, and joint destruction. Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common persistent inflammatory arthritis. The earliest change is swelling and congestion of the synovial membrane. MALE: FEMALE RATIO= 1:3. Up to 50% of genetic susceptibility is due to genes in the HLA region(particularly HLA-DR4). TNF(Tumor Necrosis Factor) plays a central role in triggering local inflammation and regulating cytokines responsible for the systemic effect of rheumatoid arthritis. Hypertrophy of the synovial membrane occurs, and inflammatory granulation tissue spreads over and under the articular cartilage, causing progressive cartilage destruction. CLINICAL FEATURES  INVOLVEMENT OF JOINTS -Most common joints   SMALL JOINTS 1) Metacarpophalangeal joints 2) Proximal interphalangeal joints 3)The most common presentation is with gradual onset of symmetrical arthralgia (joint pain) an

EMPHYSEMA

By
EMPHYSEMA Emphysema ( Greek : emphysan : inflate Itself composed of en meaning in and physan   meaning breath, blast)  Emphysema means swelling. Emphysema is included in a group of the disease called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is often caused by long term exposure to air pollution or smoking. Emphysema causes dilation of air spaces by the destruction of the alveolar wall, leading to the collapse of alveoli during expiration. Emphysema is a long-term progressive disease of the lungs that primarily causes shortness of breath. There is the destruction of lung tissue around smaller sacs, called alveoli, which makes their air sacs unable to hold their functional shape upon exhalation. That is why it is called obstructive lung disease. ETIOLOGY 1)Tobacco smoking 2) Atmospheric pollution 3) Infections 4) Genetic factor 5) Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency 6) Inherited diseases (rare) [ Marfan syndrome, Menke's syndrome] 7) Severe cases of Alpha I antitrypsin
