The primary goal is to make mindfulness about the resting issue and to recognize it with a basic instrument that records the cerebrum floods of the human. Dozing issues are the normal drawbacks for some individuals despite the fact that sleep is one of the most significant elements for keeping up both the psychological and physical wellbeing in great parity. Sleep apnea patients show side effects like boisterous wheezing, diminished drive, evening time perspiring, morning cerebral pain and right now are going to take an individual's mind waves utilizing EEG sensor, and we will anticipate in the event that he is experiencing rest apnea or not.

B RONCHIECTASIS should not be considered a single diagnostic entity. Rather, it should be treated as a morphologic abnormality representing the final common pathway of a variety of conditions that cause long-standing inflammation or infection of the bronchial tree.1 Pathologically, bronchiectasis is manifest as dilation of one or more branches of the bronchial tree; usually the dilation is such that multiple bronchi can be followed to within 1 cm of the pleural surface (as opposed to normal bronchi, which usually cannot be seen grossly within 2 cm of the pleura). 2 Historically the gross appearance of bronchiectatic airways has been divided into three different categories: cylindrical, saccular, and varicose (Fig 1). 3 Cylindrical bronchiectasis represents relatively uniform dilation of segments of the bronchial tree, usually involving sixthto eighthgeneration branches. Saccular bronchiectasis indicates balloon-like dilation of bronchial branches and usually involves thirdto fourth-generation branches. Finally, varicose bronchiectasis indicates an intermediate form between cylindrical and saccular bronchiectasis in which focally dilated bronchial segments are interposed between normal or narrowed bronchial segments. The dilation of the bronchial tree seen in bronchiectasis is essentially due to the destruction of the elastic and muscular layers of the bronchial wall. Occasionally a single prolonged infection, in conjunction with the severe inflammatory response that it elicits, may be sufficient to cause the bronchial injury necessary to elicit bronchiectasis. More typically, however, bronchiectasis is caused by a vicious cycle of recurrent infection and chronic inflammation. 4 The pathway to bronchiectasis classically begins in a host with impaired pulmonary clearance mechanisms; this impairment may be in-born and generalized as in patients with cystic fibrosis, or focal and acquired as in patients with bronchial obstruction. The subsequent stagnation of secretions within the tracheobronchial tree increases endoluminal pressure and predisposes to infection. Once an endobronchial infection begins, pathogens tend to remain within the bronchial tree for prolonged periods of time, leading to an exaggerated inflammatory response. The combination of prolonged infection and inflammation initially leads to destruction of the ciliated respiratory epithelium and submucosa before the infection is cleared. This mucosal and submucosal injury increases the risk of the host for future infection; thus the entire cycle will usually repeat itself, causing subsequent destruction of the elastic, muscular, and cartilaginous layers of the bronchial tree. This progressive bronchial injury eventually leads to bronchial dilation. 5 Table 1 lists selected predisposing factors for bronchiectasis. Although the list is long, it is far from comprehensive. However, the most common causes of bronchiectasis can be easily remembered through a systematic approach. The best method for approaching the differential diagnosis for bronchiectasis separates the list into two basic categories: causes of focal bronchiectasis and causes of diffuse bronchiectasis. The primary cause of focal bronchiectasis, especially in developing countries and among the disadvantaged in the United States, remains recurrent childhood infections. This includes undertreated bacterial infections as well as viral pneumonias caused by viral organisms, such as adenovirus and respiratory syncystial virus. Measles, whooping cough, and tuberculosis, although historically common causes of bronchiectasis, have decreased in importance with the advent of immunizations and chemoprophylaxis (Fig 2). 6 After childhood infection, endobronchial obstruction is probably the next most frequent cause of focal bronchiectasis on a worldwide basis. This includes obstruction from an endobronchial mass, such as a carcinoid or foreign body, intrinsic obstruction due to an airway stenosis or congenital defect, and extrinsic compression of the airway due to adenopathy or a large lung mass. 7 Aspiration should also be considered whenever one identifies focal bronchiectasis, especially if obstruction and childhood infection have been ruled out. On the other hand, diffuse bronchiectasis is usually due to a congenital or acquired deficiency

The rapid evolution of the treatment of breast cancer has been paralleled by a similar rapid improvement in the imaging of breast cancer. High-resolution contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the breast has recently emerged as a sensitive instrument for the detection of breast cancer. The sensitivity of MR imaging makes it an excellent tool in specific clinical situations, such as the detection of local recurrence in patients who have received breast-conservation therapy. Furthermore, MR imaging of the breast has the potential to be a powerful aid in presurgical planning and to be a useful adjunct to mammography in selected patients. MR imaging, however, has a significant false-positive rate, is not readily available in all areas, and is more expensive than mammography and sonography. It also remains unclear if alterations of management plans based on MR imaging findings actually benefit affected patients. Therefore rigorous clinical trials are needed to define precisely the exact role that MR imaging should play in the diagnosis and management of breast cancer patients.

Our objective was to determine the typical distribution of thrombi in acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis as a means of evaluating the validity of imaging techniques that only include the common femoral and popliteal veins, but not the superficial femoral vein.The results of 2704 lower extremity venous sonograms, obtained in 2026 consecutive patients over a 4-year interval, were reviewed retrospectively. The distribution of acute deep venous thromboses across various lower extremity venous segments was analyzed for this population, which consisted of both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.Of 2704 lower extremities studied with duplex sonography, acute deep venous thrombosis was identified in 269 (9.9%). Of these 269 cases, acute deep venous thrombosis was isolated to the superficial femoral vein in 60 (22.3%). The remaining 209 cases (77.7%) showed thrombus that extended into the common femoral or popliteal veins (or both).An abbreviated imaging study that evaluates only the common femoral and popliteal veins would fail to identify more than 20% of lower extremity acute deep venous thromboses in a population like ours. Although evaluation of the superficial femoral vein requires additional time and resources, evaluation of this segment may prevent a substantial number of thrombi from being missed.
