Role of Imaging in Neurosciences
Imaging plays a pivotal role in neurosciences by providing non-invasive, detailed insights into the structure and function of the nervous system. Techniques like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Functional MRI (fMRI), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) allow for the visualization of brain anatomy, the mapping of neural activity, and the observation of biochemical processes, respectively. These imaging modalities have revolutionized the understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders by enabling the identification of structural abnormalities, functional impairments, and neurochemical imbalances. Advanced imaging techniques, such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), further facilitate the study of white matter integrity and neural connectivity, offering valuable information about the brain's communication pathways. Imaging is also critical in pre-surgical planning, guiding interventions, and monitoring disease progression or response to treatment. Overall, the integration of various imaging technologies has significantly advanced both research and clinical practice in neurosciences, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, therapeutic strategies, and our fundamental understanding of brain function and dysfunction.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer
Join us for a special webinar on World Ovarian Cancer Day, titled "Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer." This expert-led session will delve into the latest advancements in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and evidence-based management of ovarian cancer. Tailored for gynecologists and healthcare professionals, the session will also explore real-world case discussions and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Let’s come together to raise awareness and empower clinicians in the fight against this silent but deadly disease
Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
Sleep Disorder Breathing is a term for a group of conditions with abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. This affects everyday functioning and well being.There are few types of SDB which include upper airways resistance, hypopnea, apnea, catathrenia and heavy snoring. People suffering with SDB can have daytime symptoms that result in poor sleep also. There can also be sleepiness, depressed mood, irritability and cognitive dysfunction.
