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.

Story of Vitamin B17/Amygdalin/Laetrile/ and Cancer

By Dr. Ahmed
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

By Dr. Ahmed
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

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...
