Abstract:

Taussig-Bing heart is one of the conotruncal malformations. Embryologically, abnormal cardiac looping with misalignment of conotruncal septum result its complexity and great artery relationships. It was first described in 1949 by two outstanding physicians, Helen Brooke Taussig and Richard John Bing, who worked together at the John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The original “Taussig-Bing heart” may be summarized as a double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) with semilunar valves side-by-side and approximately at the same height, bilateral conus, and a subpulmonary VSD. This original description has been broadened to include all kinds of double-outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary VSD. The evolution of surgical repair for the Taussig-Bing anomaly has progressed from atrial baffle procedures to arterial switch with VSD closure and intraventricular repair. For patients with Taussig-Bing type of DORV, the “arterial switch” operation, first reported in 1981, still appears to be the procedure of choice and can be performed in the neonatal period and also in patients with all types of great artery anatomy without ventriculotomy.

Abstract:

Chronic heart failure is defined as decreased ability of heart due to variousreasons.Despite improvements in pharmacologic treatment, many patients with heart failure have severe and persistent symptoms, and their prognosis remains poor. The objectives of nutrition therapy in heart failure are to prevent from water retention and edema, to avoid from hard digestion and to offer a balanced diet. To avoid fluid retention and edema, daily sodium and fluid intake must be monitored carefully. Main dilemma of the heart failure patients is the obesity-cachexia dilemma. Since one of the main reasons of heart failure is cardiovascular diseases, in first phase, the patient may be obese. In the later phases, cachexia may show up. It was shown that cachexia is associated with mortality. Within this period, patients should not be over-fed and the patient should pass from catabolic state to anabolic state slowly. If the gastrointestinal track is functional oral/enteral feeding must be preferred. Large, controlled and well-designed studies must be conducted to evaluate the benefits of nutritional practices such as nutritional assessment, enteral feeding and nutrient supports in heart failure patients.

Title: The pyrexia temperature never damage the cells of brain or harm the body.
Speaker
Biography:

K. M. Yacob  practicing physician in the field of healthcare in the state of Kerala in India for the last 30 years and very much interested in basic research. My interest is spread across the fever , inflammation and  back pain,. I am a writer. I already printed and published nine books in these subjects. I wrote hundreds of articles in various magazines.After scientific studies we have developed 8000 affirmative cross checking questions. It  can explain all queries related with fever.

Abstract:

All treatments for fever are based on the belief  that  fits is the result of  41 degree Celsius temperature and  it  damages cells of  brain and body. At the same time there is no evidence based   tests or concrete  diagnosing  methods  to the  belief  that  fits and brain damage  is the result of  pyrexia [1].Necessary ingredients to destroy brain cells  and fits cannot be seen  in fever.In pyrexia or absence of fever  a fainted  patient fell on the floor with unconscious state and destroy cells of brain, and necessary ingredients to  become conscious are same.When disease increases essential blood circulation and energy level also decreases. The vertical height between heart and brain is more than one feet. When the disease becomes severe, ability to pump the  blood to the brain decreases. As a result of this   brain cells are damaged. so the patient might be paralyzed or may even die.In pyrexia or absence of fever,  when blood flow to the brain decreases and fits are formed. There is no other  way than  this  to increase  blood circulation  to the brain.It is  a sensible and discreet  action of brain to protect the  life or organ. 

Recovery from  Fits.The patient become conscious before the time to get decreasing the temperature of fever. When the fainted patient lie on the floor, the vertical height between heart and brain is decreased, blood circulation increased to brain.

 Self checking  methods.When the fainted patient lie on the floor,The patient can stand straight and lie on bed alternatively.Then the patient can experience  himself the intensity of blood circulation.T he patient can experience when he stand  his blood circulation decreases and when lie on the bed the blood circulation decreases.Besides that he can also experience increased blood circulation when lie on the bed raise the foot higher than head.

Title: Use of cardiovascular drugs in the compliance of secondary prevention of coronary artery disease- Hospital based multicentric cross sectional survey

Time : 3.30-4.30

Biography:

Dr. Remya Sudevan is pursuing her PHD in Preventive cardiology at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi .She is currently in the 4th year of her PhD program. She has completed her MBBS and post graduate diploma in Developmental paediatrics from Government Medical college, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. She has diploma in Diabetology. She is trained in clinical research from Mc Master University, Hamilton, Canada. She has Masters in Public health from Sree Chitra Tirunal  Institute of  Medical sciences and technology, Thiruvananthapuram. She has 6 years experience as Clinical epidemiologist. She has more than 50 publications including abstracts.     

Abstract:

Among the mandatory targets to be achieved in the compliance of secondary prevention of coronary artery disease, cardiovascular drug use has a pivotal role.  There exists scarcity of data regarding the use of these drugs in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients from resource limited settings. Existing guidelines recommend drug therapy using antiplatelet, lipid lowering drugs, renin angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors, betablockers, insulin and oral hypoglycaemic agents in diabetics for secondary prevention of CAD. A multi centric hospital based cross sectional survey was done in a total of 1206 patients with confirmed CAD diagnosed during the time period January 2012-December 2018.The objective was to estimate the proportion of compliance to use of cardiovascular drugs. The mean age of the study population was 61.27(9.59) years. In the study population, 879(72.9%) were male patients. The socio economic status was predominantly in the middle (48.1%) and low (48.9%) levels. In the study population, 43% had a family history of heart attack, 64.2% had hypertension, 54.1% had diabetes mellitus, 52% had dyslipidemia, 5.8% had smoking/use of tobacco and 2.8% consumed alcohol. The treatment strategies adopted were medical therapy (44.8%), angioplasty (47.8%) and coronary artery bypass grafting (12.9%). The proportion of patients on cardiovascular drugs were 96.02% on antiplatelets, 89.4% statins, 37.72% on RAAS, 68.2% on betablockers, 22% on insulin and 81.28% on oral hypoglycaemic agents(Table 1). Use of cardiovascular drugs in secondary prevention of CAD patients in resource limited setting appears to be satisfactory.
