ECG Changes in various Heart diseases

Right Atrial Overload -
Leads to Increase in P wave amplitute (>2.5 mm)

Left Atrial Overload -
Produces biphasic P wave in V1 with a broad negative component or a broad notched P wave in 1 or more limb leads.(This pattern may also occur in left atrial conduction delays.)

Right ventricular Pressure overload -
Characterised by tall R wave in V1 with right axis deviation.St depression and T wave inversion in right to mideprecordial leads (Ventricular strain pattern : attributed to repolarisation abnormalities in hypertrophied muscle.) are also often present.There may be qR pattern in V1 or V3R

Right Ventricular Volume overload -
is associated with complete or incomplete right bundle branch block with rightward QRS axis deviation.

Acute Cor Pulmonale -
Most commonly due to pulmonary embolism.
QRS axis shifts to right.S1Q3T3 pattern (prominence of S wave in lead 1, Q wave in lead 3 and inversion of T wave in lead 3.

Chronic Cor Pulmonale -
Mostly due to pbstructive lung disease.
Does not ptoduce classic ECG pattern of right ventricular hypertrophy.Small R waves (poor R wave prograssion) is due to downward displacement of diaphragm and heart.

Left Ventricular hypertrophy -
Tall R waves, deep right S waves are seen.RV5 or RV6 > 25 mm
SV1+RV5 (or RV6) > 35 mm
Repolarisation abnormality - ST depresion and T wave inversion (left ventricular strain pattern) is seen.

Story of Vitamin B17/Amygdalin/Laetrile/ and Cancer

Amygdalin is a compound found in seeds of all fruits except those of citrus fruits. It is found in high amounts in Apricot kernels and Almonds.  Anti-tumor properties of Amygdalin have been discussed and argued over and over through out the cancer research circles. A quick google search of 'Amygdalin' will tell you that it is a 'quack medicine', that it has no action on cancer cells and that it is dangerously poisonous substance. Laetrile is the name of semi-synthetic (drug- tablet and injection) form of amygdalin available in the market.  Let me present the readers with PubMed articles - published data in prestigious peer reviewed journals, regarding the anti-tumor properties of Amygdalin. Links will be provided with each statement. Amygdalin has anti-tumor tumor properties. It has antitussive and antiasthamatic effects. It has apoptotic effect on Renal Fibroblasts- helpful in chronic kidney disease. It stimulates the immune system and acts as an analg...

FDA approves experimental Genetically Modified Salmon for human consumption without Safety Trials/Studies

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has brazenly betrayed the public's trust by approving the world's first genetically modified (GM) animal in direct defiance of science – a transgenic salmon branded "AquAdvantage" that has never been proven safe for human consumption or the natural environment. The New York Times (NYT) reports that AquAdvantage, a product of AquaBounty Technologies, has received official FDA approval after years of fierce lobbying by its manufacturer in favor of open approval. Despite repeated warnings from detractors that AquAdvantage poses serious threats to aquatic ecosystems and humans, the FDA has determined that this GM fish is completely safe for everything and everyone on the planet.  Many of the claims made about AquAdvantage by its manufacturer have been debunked, including the lie that this "Frankenfish" grows more quickly than natural salmon and is less prone to disease – both of which claims are patently false. ...

Mr. Drosten's strange relationship to freedom of expression

  Christian Drosten This is Christian Drosten , who is responsible for the Covid PCR protocol that bypassed the peer review process. There most likely wouldn't have been any pandemic if he hadn't committed scientific fraud. The irony is that he now appears to be advocating for the restriction of scientific freedom in favor of health policy, a notion that's completely unconstitutional. During a discussion at the "World Health Summit" in October, Drosten emphasized the rise in misinformation online, especially during the COVID-19 'pandemic', and urged media and fellow scientists to correct false information. He suggested that scientific institutions should select and spotlight individuals who are 'true experts' in their fields to combat misinformation. The concern arises as to who gets to decide who these "true experts" are. Is Drosten volunteering himself for this role? His past statements might suggest so. Drosten, in a previous interview...
