Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Exploring Approaches
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension is a rare, progressive disorder where there is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lung. Symptoms like shortness of breath, fainting, chest pain, swelling of legs and fast heartbeat can be seen. Today our guest speaker is going to deep dive-in more about Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Hepatic Regeneration After Hepatectomy
Hepatic regeneration after hepatectomy is a dynamic process where the liver rapidly repairs and regenerates its tissue by activating hepatocytes and liver progenitor cells. This regenerative ability is essential for restoring liver function and maintaining homeostasis following partial liver resection or injury.
Fluorescence Guided Breast Cancer Surgery
Fluorescence-guided breast cancer surgery uses fluorescent dyes, such as indocyanine green (ICG), to illuminate cancerous tissues and lymph nodes, aiding surgeons in precisely identifying and removing tumors. This technique improves surgical outcomes by enhancing the visualization of cancerous areas, reducing the chances of leaving residual cancer cells behind.
Approach to Small Vessel Vasculitis
The approach to small vessel vasculitis involves a comprehensive assessment, including clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and imaging studies to confirm the diagnosis and identify underlying causes. Treatment typically focuses on immunosuppressive therapies, such as corticosteroids and cytotoxic agents, to control inflammation and prevent organ damage. In some cases, targeted biologic therapies may be considered. Early detection and intervention are crucial to prevent complications and improve long-term outcomes.
