Here is the complete pdf lecture of CVS pathology by Dr. Tahir Malik  Overview of Cardiovascular Pathology Cardiovascular pathology focuses on diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels. It is a critical subject in medicine as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding the underlying mechanisms, structural changes, and clinical implications of cardiovascular pathology is essential for medical students, pathologists, and clinicians. Atherosclerosis and Arteriosclerosis Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the deposition of lipids, inflammatory cells, and fibrous tissue within the arterial walls. Pathogenesis: Endothelial Injury: Caused by hypertension, smoking, hyperlipidemia. Lipoprotein Deposition: LDL cholesterol accumulates in the intima. Inflammation and Foam Cell Formation: Macrophages engulf oxidized LDL, forming foam cells. Fibrous Plaque Formation: Smooth...

DIMS Lectures Respiratory Pathology PDF

Kindly scroll down for the complete pdf lecture of respiratory pathology , Summary  1. Obstructive Lung Diseases Obstructive lung diseases are characterized by airway obstruction leading to difficulty in exhalation. A. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) COPD is a progressive and irreversible lung disease caused by long-term exposure to irritants like smoking and pollution. Pathophysiology: Chronic inflammation leads to narrowing of airways. Mucus hypersecretion causes bronchial obstruction. Destruction of alveoli leads to reduced gas exchange. Key Features: Chronic cough with sputum production. Dyspnea (shortness of breath). Prolonged expiration with wheezing. Clinical Correlation: Spirometry shows decreased FEV1/FVC ratio. Patients present with barrel chest due to air trapping. B. Asthma Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes episodic airway constriction. Pathophysiology: Bronchial hyperreactivity leads to airway narrowing. Histamine release triggers bronch...

DIMS Lectures Renal Patho - Physiology PDF

Kindly scroll down for the complete pdf lecture of renal patho-physiology  by Dr. Tahir Malik . Summary : The kidneys are vital organs that play a crucial role in maintaining overall health. They filter waste, regulate electrolytes, and balance fluids in the body. However, kidney diseases can disrupt these functions, leading to serious health issues. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore renal pathophysiology-the study of kidney function and disease-covering everything from anatomy, histology and physiology to common disorders, diagnosis, and treatment. 1. Anatomy of the Kidneys Location and Size The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine, just below the rib cage. The right kidney is slightly lower than the left due to the liver’s presence. Each kidney is about 10-12 cm long, 6 cm wide, and 3 cm thick Internal Structure - Cortex: The outer layer containing filtering units called glomeruli. - Medulla: The inner region with structures called rena...
