B-scan ultrasonography provides two-dimensional images of the eye that can reveal information about the shape, location, extension, mobility, and thickness of tissues. It uses high frequency sound waves reflected off structures in the eye. The transducer sends pulses and receives echoes to build an image. B-scan is useful when the ocular media is opaque and for evaluating conditions like tumors, detachments, inflammation and measuring the eye's dimensions. Pathological features seen on B-scan include vitreous hemorrhage, asteroid hyalosis, retinoschisis, choroidal detachment, retinal detachment in various configurations, cysticercosis, choroidal melanoma and more.

ULTRA.pptxMadhuShivhare1 This document provides an overview of ultrasonography principles:
- Ultrasonography uses high-frequency sound waves to generate images and is a useful, noninvasive diagnostic tool.
- Sound waves have properties like frequency, wavelength, and velocity that affect image quality. Higher frequencies produce better surface details but poorer penetration.
- Images are produced when sound waves emitted from a transducer's piezoelectric crystals enter the body, encounter tissues, and return echoes that are converted into a visual display.
- Different transducer types and ultrasound modes like B-mode produce various image types used for diagnostic purposes. Artifacts like shadows and reverberations can occur and should be recognized to avoid diagnostic errors.

Optical aberrations
Optical aberrationsSamuel Ponraj The document discusses optical aberrations in the eye, including monochromatic and chromatic aberrations. It describes how aberrations can be measured using wavefront analysis techniques like the Shack-Hartman test. Common aberrations discussed include defocus, astigmatism, coma, and spherical aberration. The document explains how these aberrations affect image quality and discusses techniques to measure and correct for aberrations.
Wide angle viewing field systems in vr surgery
Wide angle viewing field systems in vr surgerySamuel Ponraj Wide angle viewing systems provide panoramic views of the retina during vitreous surgery. There are contact and non-contact systems. Contact systems include vitreous panfundoscopes, contact wide field lenses, advanced visual instrument systems, and reinverting operating lens systems. These provide good image resolution but require an inverter due to the inverted image and have risks of corneal trauma. Non-contact systems like the BIOM and Resight provide upright images without inversion but have poorer image quality. Newer non-contact systems aim to provide wide fields of view with upright high resolution images.
Macular hole
Macular holeSamuel Ponraj The macula is a round yellow area at the back of the eye that is responsible for central vision. A macular hole is a break or defect in the macula that can cause vision loss. Macular holes are classified into four stages based on their size and severity. Stage 1 holes are subtle with little vision impact, while stage 4 holes are large with complete detachment of the vitreous gel from the retina. Surgery involving vitrectomy and gas or oil tamponade is often used to treat more advanced macular holes and works by relieving traction on the retina. Post-operative care involves keeping face down for up to two weeks to aid in hole closure.
Nyctalopia & retinitis pigmentosa
Nyctalopia & retinitis pigmentosaSamuel Ponraj Rods contain the visual pigment rhodopsin, which consists of the protein opsin bound to the chromophore retinal. Rhodopsin absorbs blue light at 500nm and allows rods to function in low light conditions. Rods are more numerous and sensitive to light than cones, allowing vision in dim environments. When shifting from light to dark, the processes of pigment regeneration and phototransduction take place over 30 minutes to restore night vision through the visual pigment rhodopsin in rods. Nyctalopia, or night blindness, can result from vitamin A deficiency or other causes that impair rod function.
Keratoprosthesis
KeratoprosthesisSamuel Ponraj This document reviews a study of 55 keratoprosthesis insertions in 35 patients over periods ranging from 1 month to 15 years. Keratoprosthesis is a surgical procedure that replaces a severely damaged cornea with an artificial cornea to restore vision. There are two main types - Type 1 is a collar button shaped device that perforates the cornea, while Type 2 is a through-the-lid design with an anterior nub to penetrate a tarsorrhaphy. Indications for each type are described. Complications can include rejection, infections, and extrusion. The aim of the study was to review visual outcomes, retention time, and complications of keratoprosthesis surgery.

A case of atypical disc edema
A case of atypical disc edemaSamuel Ponraj This document presents a case study of a 42-year-old female who presented with sudden loss of vision in her left eye and headache for one week. Her ocular examination revealed blurry margins, peripapillary edema, and serous detachment of the macula in her left eye. A B-scan showed edema around the optic nerve head. Differential diagnoses included posterior scleritis and optic neuritis. Treatment with oral steroids and antibiotics improved her vision. She was later readmitted due to congestion from frequent steroid use.
Interpretation of fields
Interpretation of fieldsSamuel Ponraj This document provides guidance on interpreting visual field tests. It outlines the key steps which include checking patient and test data, obtaining a general impression, observing defects and curves, and reviewing statistics. Various plots and indices are described that analyze retinal sensitivity values, compare them to normal values, and evaluate for abnormalities. Global indices like mean deviation and pattern standard deviation reduce the field data into single numbers. The reliability and quality of the test are also important to evaluate. Factors like eye conditions, testing procedures, and artifacts can influence results.
Perimetry 1
Perimetry 1Samuel Ponraj The document discusses principles of perimetry, which is the measurement of visual functions across the visual field. It describes the history of automated perimeters beginning in 1970. Static perimetry uses computerized testing to determine contrast sensitivity thresholds at preset locations, while kinetic perimetry manually maps sensitivity points along meridians. Both methods are used to identify decreases in retinal sensitivity indicative of conditions like glaucoma. Automated static perimetry provides quantifiable and reproducible data but is time-consuming, while kinetic perimetry rapidly defines field contours but requires more operator skill.
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachmentSamuel Ponraj This document provides information on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment including:
- The pathogenesis which involves vitreoretinal traction from liquefaction of the vitreous gel creating a hole that allows fluid into the subretinal space.
- Symptoms include photopsia, floaters, and visual field defects.
- Signs include Marcus Gunn pupil, low intraocular pressure, retinal breaks, and mild iritis.
- Treatment options depend on factors like location and size of retinal break, state of vitreous gel, and include laser photocoagulation, cryotherapy, scleral buckling, pneumatic retinopexy, and drainage of subretinal fluid in
Angle closure glaucoma
Angle closure glaucomaSamuel Ponraj This document provides information on angle closure glaucoma, including its causes, risk factors, stages, clinical presentation, diagnostic tests, and treatment options. Angle closure glaucoma results from obstruction of the aqueous outflow pathway due to apposition or adhesion of the iris to the trabecular meshwork. It is more common in individuals with anatomically narrow anterior chamber angles and certain ethnic groups. Treatment involves lowering intraocular pressure through medications, laser procedures such as peripheral iridotomy or iridoplasty, or incisional surgeries like goniosynechialysis or trabeculectomy if needed.
Implantable collamer lens(ICL)
Implantable collamer lens(ICL)Samuel Ponraj The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a soft, flexible, posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens made of collagen-copolymer material called Collamer. Studies have shown ICL implantation is safe and effective for correcting myopia between -3 to -25 diopters and astigmatism up to -6 diopters. It provides stable refractive results with few complications over 4 years. Toric ICL models were found to be superior to LASIK in safety, efficacy, predictability and stability for high myopic astigmatism. The procedure is reversible and preserves corneal tissue, reducing risks compared to LASIK.
Neovascular glaucoma
Neovascular glaucomaSamuel Ponraj Neovascular glaucoma is a secondary glaucoma caused by the growth of new blood vessels on the iris and in the anterior chamber angle due to underlying retinal ischemia or disease. The new vessels are stimulated by hypoxic factors and can contract, pulling the iris forward and occluding the drainage angle. This leads to increased eye pressure and vision loss if not treated. Treatment options aim to reduce the stimulus for new vessel growth such as panretinal photocoagulation laser or anti-VEGF injections, lower eye pressure through filtration surgeries or cyclodestructive procedures, and manage pain.
Post operative endophthalmitis
Post operative endophthalmitisSamuel Ponraj 1. Post-operative endophthalmitis is an intraocular inflammation that can occur after eye surgery or trauma as a complication. It involves inflammation in the anterior and posterior segments of the eye.
2. It is classified as infectious or non-infectious. Infectious endophthalmitis can be exogenous from surgery or trauma, or endogenous from hematogenous spread. Acute infectious endophthalmitis typically occurs within 6 weeks of surgery.
3. Management involves medical therapy including intravitreal and systemic antibiotics, as well as vitrectomy in some cases depending on visual acuity. The Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study showed vitrectomy is beneficial for patients

Abstract
Low-grade astrocytomas are considered low-grade gliomas. Low-grade gliomas are brain tumors that grow slowly and require specialized care.
They are a group of tumors that include: fibrillary astrocytoma, protoplasmic astrocytoma and gemistocytic astrocytoma. They differ from their counterpart high-grade astrocytomas, because they have a better prognosis and longer survival, although each of them is a different disease with a different course and prognosis.As a group, they represent 26.6% of all tumors derived from glial cells in the brain.Separated by age, they represent approximately 15% of intracranial tumors in adults and 25% in children. (1 -8)
The age of presentation of these tumors in adults is around the 4th decade of life. The frontal lobe is the most frequent location, followed by the temporal and parietal lobes.
Currently, technology has increased the safety of surgical procedures, with the arrival of techniques such as neuronavigation, stereotaxy, transoperative brain mapping, transoperative ultrasound or ultrasonic aspirator; all of them in contemporary times must be used with reasoning for the greater benefit of the patient.
A craniotomy is a complex neurological procedure that involves opening the skull, performing the necessary operation, and closing the skull, securing the bone in its original position. (4 -10)
Awake craniotomy is mainly used for mapping and resection of lesions in vitally important brain areas where imaging is not sufficiently sensitive. These are most commonly speech and motor areas. In all sedation-anesthesia techniques, the patients are awake and able to speak and/or move during the mapping phase.
It is a technique used to improve perioperative outcomes, achieving a faster recovery of the patient with a reduction in the percentage of postoperative complications.

BIOMECHANICS & KINESIOLOGY OF THEHIP COMPLEX.pptx
BIOMECHANICS & KINESIOLOGY OF THEHIP COMPLEX.pptxdrnidhimnd The cuplike concave socket of the hip joint is called the acetabulum and is located on the lateral aspect of the pelvic bone (innominate or os coxa).
Until full ossification of the pelvis occurs between 20 and 25 years of age.
The periphery of the acetabulum (lunate surface) is covered with hyaline cartilage.
This horseshoe-shaped area of cartilage articulates with the head of the femur and allows for contact stress to be uniformly distributed.
The inferior aspect of the lunate surface (the base of the horseshoe) is interrupted by a deep notch called the acetabular notch.
The acetabular notch is spanned by a fibrous band, the transverse acetabular ligament, that connects the two ends of the horseshoe.
The acetabulum is deepened by the fibrocartilaginous acetabular labrum, which surrounds the periphery of the acetabulum. The acetabular fossa is non-articular; the femoral head does not contact this surface.
The acetabular fossa contains fibroelastic fat covered with synovial membrane.

Esophageal Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analy...Oleg Kshivets We analyzed data of 568 consecutive ECP (age=56.7±9 years; tumor size=5.9±3.5 cm) radically operated (R0) and monitored in 1975-2025 (m=424, f=144; esophagogastrectomies (EG) Garlock=290, EG Lewis=278, combined EG with resection of pancreas, liver, diaphragm, aorta, VCS, colon transversum, lung, trachea, pericardium, splenectomy=174; adenocarcinoma=326, squamous=232, mix=10; T1=133, T2=121, T3=186, T4=128; N0=288, N1=71, N2=209; G1=161, G2=143, G3=264; early EC=114, invasive=454; only surgery=431, adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy-AT=137: 5-FU+thymalin/taktivin+radiotherapy 45-50Gy). Multivariate Cox modeling, clustering, SEPATH, Monte Carlo, bootstrap and neural networks computing were used to determine any significant dependence.
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 1906.3±2278.4 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 53%, 10 years – 46.4%, 20 years – 33.4%, 30 years – 27.5%. 194 ECP lived more than 5 years (LS=4300.8±2503.5 days), 105 ECP – more than 10 years (LS=5860.8±2469.2 days). 232 ECP died because of EC (LS=628.8±321.8 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (60.3% vs. 43.1%) (P=0.007 by log-rank test). 5YS of ECP of upper/3 was significantly better than others (65.3% vs.50.3%) (P=0.003). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of ECP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) N0—N12 in terms of synergetics, blood cell subpopulation, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), EC cell dynamics, T, G, histology, age, localization, prothrombin index, coagulation time, residual nitrogen, chlorides (P=0.000-0.047). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and healthy cells/CC (rank=1), erythrocytes/CC (2), PT N0—N12 (3), PT early-invasive EC (4), thrombocytes/CC (5); segmented neutrophils/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), eosinophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), leucocytes/CC (10), monocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5-year survival of ECP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT “early-invasive cancer”; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) Cell Ratio Factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) EC cell dynamics; 9) EC characteristics; 10) tumor localization; 11) anthropometric data; 12) surgery type. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for EC are: 1) screening and early detection of EC; 2) availability of sufficient quantity of very experienced thoracoabdominal surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for ECP with unfavorable prognosis.

2025-ADA-SOC-Slide-Deck-all-recommendations-FINAL-12-9-24.pptxTanja Milenković The joint EASD (European Association for the Study of Diabetes) and ADA (American Diabetes Association) Consensus Report on the management of hyperglycaemia in type 2 diabetes serves as a comprehensive, evidence-based guide to help clinicians provide patient-centered care. Updated regularly, the report reflects evolving scientific evidence, advances in pharmacological therapies, and a growing emphasis on individualization of treatment.
The 2022 edition emphasizes a holistic approach to managing type 2 diabetes, integrating lifestyle interventions, glucose-lowering medications, cardiovascular and renal risk reduction, and patient preferences. The report moves beyond strict glycemic targets alone and promotes the consideration of comorbid conditions—such as cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and obesity—when choosing therapies.
The document highlights the importance of metformin as a foundational therapy but recommends early use of SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients with established cardiovascular or renal disease, regardless of HbA1c levels. These classes offer benefits beyond glucose control, including heart failure risk reduction and kidney protection.
A key feature of the consensus is its endorsement of shared decision-making, taking into account patient goals, preferences, access, and affordability. The report also discusses the role of digital health tools, continuous glucose monitoring, and team-based care in improving outcomes.
Glycemic targets are individualized, typically aiming for an HbA1c of <7%, but allowing flexibility based on age, duration of diabetes, comorbidities, and risk of hypoglycemia. The report also underscores the need for regular reassessment, treatment intensification when needed, and ongoing patient education.
Overall, the EASD-ADA consensus provides a dynamic framework that supports a multifaceted, patient-centric approach to type 2 diabetes care, aiming to reduce complications, improve quality of life, and promote long-term health outcomes.

Beyond Basics - Good Vibes Only:
—Review - Good Vibes Only:
— For me, within both Reiki and Yoga sessions the essentials boost the energy. Energy can also be called Vibrations and Frequency. So many coaches are specializing within Frequency topics. They can coach entire themes using Frequency success stories. This shows how little we think of energy? We need our coaches to boost our wisdom? To boost the vibes? For Reiki & Yoga Therapy, using ‘Props’ can assist, protect, and heal energies - faster/better. Let’s Explore more.

Clear Your Energy Pt 1…(See Presentation)
Clear Your Energy - Pt 2
I know we operate busy schedules. Sometimes I will yoga stretch, do warm ups, Fuse Qigong, and clear my chakras. It can be therapy or for energy boosts. So many things within our activities will leave behind energy. This can be positive or negative. We assume these energies naturally drop off. But, not always the case. Some energies latch on longterm. This all depends on your moods, emotions, and lifestyle. Hope it makes sense. We have to monitor our energy intake/out-take.
Repost:
Taking breaks, pausing, relaxing, are common things ppl struggle with. Including at times, myself. Reiki requires chill hours or meditations. We often believe our schedules are badges to display for social/approval? This is a generational society belief. It takes courage to bold/quietly declare - the opposite.

Energy Monitoring-The Media/News
A Perm bonus section I wanted to keep. This is about The media and news. Now, I understand it’s hard to avoid all news. Especially when we need our global, local, weather, and economic updates. Some news are important while others are extremely negative. Anything hosting bad vibes can be draining. I have seen this occur within distant/visual updates like news or gossip. We have to keep what we need. Then leave behind what we don’t. The intuitive coaching/Tarot rules.
There’s a lot going on for every country. So now is the time to practice calming methods for daily life or emergencies.

Protect Your Energy Pt 1…(See Presentation)
Protect Your Energy - Pt 2
We love doing what feels good right? This can be good social, comfort foods, and chill time.
It’s all good but caution. Make sure to monitor who you chill with? Who you tell your future goals and secrets too? They could be causing you evil eye attacks. These things appear as bad luck or curses. Sometimes an entire social network will cause psychic attacks alone. Not to scare anyone but it’s getting worse. Be alert to what is shared. Guard Yourselves.
Reiki Fusions The Benefits:
I swear lol, Some love ASMR while others think its weird lol, I saw Ariana Grande did successful ASMR for a Wicked Promo. But got irritated in another session. So it does take practice lol. Nonetheless, anything holistic wellness to artsy can be added to Reiki and Remote healing.

- 1. B SCAN USG Presenter : Dr Samuel Ponraj
- 2. • B-scan or brightness modulation scan provides two dimensional images of a series of dots and lines. • B-scan provides the topographic information of shape, location, extension,mobility, and gross estimation of thickness of the tissue.
- 4. FREQUENCIES • 1-2 MHZ : ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND • 8-10 MHZ : OPHTHALMIC ULTRASOUND (B SCAN) BEST FOR POSTERIOR SEGMENT • 35- 80 MHZ : ULTRASOUND BIOMICROSCOPY BEST FOR CORNEA & ANTERIOR SEGMENT
- 5. PULSE ECHO SYSTEM • TRANSDUCER • AMPLIFIER • DISPLAY MONITOR
- 7. TRANSDUCER • Device which converts Electrical to Sound energy [pulse ] and Sound to Electrical energy [Echo] • Basic Components – Piezoelectric plate Backing layer Acoustic Matching layer Acoustic lens
- 8. • Piezoelectric Element : essential part generates ultrasonic waves . Coated on both sides with electrodes to which a Voltage is applied. Oscillation of Element with repeat expanding and contraction generates a sound wave. • Most common: Piezoelectric ceramic ( Lead zirconate titanate).
- 9. • Backing layer : located behind the piezoelectric element which dampens excessive vibrations from probe thereby improves image resolution • Acoustic matching layer : located in front of piezoelectric element which reduces the reflections from acoustic impedance between probe and object thereby improves trasmission.
- 10. • Acoustic Lens : gray coloured rubber on tip helps in focussing the ultrasonic waves as a slit beam.
- 15. Frequency Resolution Penetration Possible Scanning depth High Fine Weak Shallow Low Rough Strong Deep
- 16. IMMERSION B SCAN CONTACT B SCAN
