PET Scan: A Case Study
A PET (positron emission tomography) scan is a type of imaging test. It uses a radioactive substance called a tracer to identify diseases in the body. By identifying the cellular level changes, PET may detect the early onset of diseases before other imaging tests identify them.PET scan is mainly used to evaluate organs such as brain and heart, most commonly PET scan is used to detect Cancer and evaluation of Cancer treatments. This session with Dr Prafful, Consultant & Head, Dept of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Medicine gave interesting pointers on PET scan with a detailed Case based review.

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.
