Aneuysms- Pathology

Image
By Dr. Ahmed
Definition: Congenital or acquired weakness of vessel wall media, resulting in a localized dilation or out pouching.
The bulge in the aneurysm may burst and death may occur any time.

1. Atherosclerotic aneurysms:
  • Weakening of media secondary to atheroma formation
  • Occur in the abdominal aorta below the real arteries
  • Associated with hypertension
  • Half of aortic aneurysms > 6cm in diameter will rupture within 10 years
2.Aortic dissecting aneurysms
  • Its due to cystic medial necrosis of tunica media.
  • Blood from the vessel lumen enters the intimal tear and dissects through the layers of media.
  • It presents with severe tearing pain.
  • It may compress and obstruct the aortic the aortic branches (eg- renal or coronary arteries)
  • HTN and Marfan syndrome are predisposing factors.
3. Syphilitic aneurysms:
  • Involves ascending aorta
  • Syphilitic (leutic) aortitis causes an obliterative endarteritis of the vasa vasoram. Leading to ischemia and smooth muscle atrophy of aortic media.
  • May dilate the aortic valve ring causing aortic insufficiency.
4. Berry aneurysm:
  • Congenital aneurysm of Circle of Willis.
5. Micro aneurysms: Small aneurysms commonly seen in HTN (hypertension) and diabetes.

6. Mycotic aneurysms: aneurysm usually due to bacterial infections.

Mr. Drosten's strange relationship to freedom of expression

By Dr. Ahmed
  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...

Pemphigus Vulgaris

By Dr. Ahmed
Pemphigus vulgaris is a blistering autoimmune skin lesion mostly seen in elderly patients.The disorder is characterised by a process called Acanthoysis (loss of cohesion between epidermal cells).Lesions are mostly flaccid blisters over the skin.These blisters burst out and the surounding skin gets denuded.In severe cases, substantial portions of the body get denuded.Manual pressue over these blisters can cause separation of epidermis.This is known as Nikolsky's sign. This finding is a characteristic feature of Pemphigus vulgaris but not the specific feature. Nikolsky's sign is also seen in Stevens Johnson Syndrome, Toxic epidermal necrolysis and few other skin conditions. Clinical Features: Sometimes the disorder starts with pruritis(itching).Lesions in Pemphigus vulgaris are usually seen over the oral mucosa, scalp, axilla, trunk, face, neck .Blisters are usually seen in the mouth first and then on other mucosa (pharyngeal, laryngeal, oesophageal, conjunctival, vulval or r...

Dr. Scott Jensen About Covid-19 policy and Vaccination Program.

By Dr. Ahmed
Minnesota Senator Dr. Jensen.  Dr. Scott Jensen is a physician and Minnesota state senator. He has announced that he will be  running for Minnesota governor . Dr. Jensen has been a vocal critic of Covid-19 policy and the vaccine. Last year he had criticized CDC's Covid-19 death certificate on live TV on Fox. For that he had to face an  investigation  for spreading 'misinformation'. Dr. Jensen expresses his frustration about how people's livelihoods are being destroyed by the lockdowns and how personal liberties and rights are being trampled since the beginning of the pandemic. He expresses concern regarding children being subjected to 'overly aggressive, unapproved, experimental vaccination program' that is causing Myocarditis in many young people. "There have been thousands and thousands of deaths since the vaccine program started, indicating a temporal relationship between the vaccine and the deaths, especially in kids. "
