Hey Fru: in regards to the below comments, im working on future directions now :) also i read through the history section and it seems a lot more better :) just one mistake is the
"durng such operations there need". Ill have my edited prognosis and futures up by tonight! :) ohh and the heart! regards --[[User:Z3291423|z3291423]] 11:03, 10 September 2011 (EST)


Hey Jac i was reading the article: Review - Tetralogy of Fallot by Frederique Bailliard and Robert H Anderson ( im sure you have this one) and theres a section absed on " Anatomical variants of Tetralogy of Fallot, and associated anomalies". i believe if you could also include this section into the Pathophysiology section it would be great! Furthermore would you please do the things Mark said in regards to your sections it would be good, especially the diagnostic tests part :). Also to everyone we need to get Future Directions and especially Genetics up ASAP! thus respective people have them completed asap. --[[User:Z3291317|Z3291317]] 22:49, 9 September 2011 (EST)

Hey jaz, the prognosis sounds pretty good. maybe expand/explain how the hypoxic spells, brain abscesses etc cause death. i think in general we could expand upon most sections. off to work now guys but ill fix up my couple of sections tonight/tomorrow morn! --z3291324 08:30, 9 September 2011 (EST)


Thanks Fru! I will definitely crack onto those suggestions, I'm going to first email the owner of the children's hospital video on youtube to get permission for using the video, and then ill put it up in my section. ALSO, I've nearly done the picture! I've got an outline and as your reading this, i should have it coloured, labelled and ready for upload! :D

have a great weekend guys!

Reagards --z3291423 23:29, 8 September 2011 (EST)

Hey jaz just read your prognosis section. You made it well, however,i picked up 2 things you could do and it woould be good if you do them: 1. The causes of death after no surgery has done; if you can explain how these 'causes of death' occur due to TOF, it will portray the role TOF has in these problems. 2. You should talk about any complications that could arise in both patients that dont have corrected TOF and the ones who do have the surgery (i.e. any conditions that could develop after having the surgery or not, not just the death of the patient if they dont correct their heart). Other than that great work! :) --Z3291317 23:17, 8 September 2011 (EST)

Ye Jaz, thanks for the pic. Aswell ive attached a reviewed file of the treatment section on an email i sent to you. Maybe the youtube cideo based on the TOF fix up can now be put under this section as an embedded video... --Z3291317 22:19, 8 September 2011 (EST)

hey jaz, the treatment section is much better, much easier to read. thanks for the heart pic! im pretty sure my section is he one that is too "verbose" so anyone feel free to fix it up--z3291324 19:47, 8 September 2011 (EST)

Hey Guys! sorry prognosis took me a bit longer to do, but It will be up by tonight :) and ill upload the heart pic as well :) which took forever to make! regards --z3291423 16:05, 8 September 2011 (EST)

hey guys just put up some diagnosis, let me know if you want me to add anything to it. furkan, glossary looks good! rommel, how are you going with the genetics do you need any help? and jaz are you able to post up the prognosis? once they are all up we should go through and edit them all together and fix up the wording. --z3291324 15:50, 8 September 2011 (EST)


Hey peoples...im going to start constucting the glossary wordbank as i read the entire document. Please add words yous think i missed out on... Also i found a pic of Mr Fallot but i think theres copyright rights on it. i think i gotta clear it somehow...--Z3291317 19:19, 7 September 2011 (EST)


hey jaz, i think the treamtment section is alright. maybe reword the first bit into sentences (i think it was the bit on how severe the cyanosis is) so its a bit clearer. but otherwise good :) what do you think about pathophys?--z3291324 12:40, 7 September 2011 (EST)


hey guys, i cant tell if this pic has copyright or not. can someone please have a look for me? http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/tof/ thanks!--z3291324 09:49, 6 September 2011 (EST) --> REPLY: I looked at the pic and looks great. however, i couldnt see if it was copyright or not. HOWEVER, it is found on a public government website, and from what i remember Mark said we can use these materials. To make sure just please check it with him aswell. Also, im going to format your pathophysioligy section now so it looks prettier :)--Z3291317 19:19, 7 September 2011 (EST)

Hey guys, i Just finished the Treatment part, I've got palliative in this heading to still complete but Its very brief so i thought id get cracking on getting that drawing done and also the prognosis will be up by tomorrow! also check this out! http://www.nemours.org/content/dam/nemours/www/filebox/service/medical/cardiology/defect/tof.swf --z3291423 23:57, 5 September 2011 (EST) -->REPLY: Cool animation. Would we use an external link to this animation due to copyright restrictions?--Z3291317 19:19, 7 September 2011 (EST)

Hey Peepz

I just finished the sections of History, Signs and symptoms and Epidemiology

just please check these sections, especially the epidemiology one, do yous want it more detailed or is it enough?

z3291324 your section seems alright so far, show us your edited version so we can fully critic it then.

p.s. the post below my one i dont really understand itl who is speking to who and what are yous refering to? lol

Regards --Z3291317 23:44, 4 September 2011 (EST)


j: the article on future treatment directions sounds good. i might add some of the info in to the pathophysiology section because it links in well with the pulmonary stenosis and right ventricular hypertrophy. --z3291324 13:47, 2 September 2011 (EST) I think this article makes some good points which could be added into the treatment section (eg discuss treatment/surgery after birth and also follow up treatments in adulthood- pulmonary valve replacement etc due to valvular incompetence and regurgitation because of the growing heart)


pathophysiology

hey guys. ive written some basic notes (UNEDITED) for pathophysiology. Just want to get an idea of how much detail i should go into before i start adding links to journal articles etc. can someone please have a quick look through and give me an idea of how much more detail is needed. thanks :)

The four features of tetralogy of fallot are pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta, ventricular spetal defect and right ventricular hypertrophy. These features result from the anterosuperior displacement of the infundibular septum. The severity of symtpoms is determined by the extent of right ventricular outflow obstruction.

Pulmonary stenosis (Symptoms include cyanosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, hepatomegaly and peripheral oedema (of the legs). More mild symptoms include sudden fainting and dizziness from exercise. )

Valvular or infundibular stenosis (narrowing of the outflow tract of the right ventricle). Obstructs the outflow of blood from the right ventricle reducing pulmonary flow. If the pulmonary stenosis is mild, a left to right shunt (with no cyanosis) will form, due to the higher pressure in the left ventricle. However, significant pulmonary stenosis can raise right ventricular pressure above the left ventricular pressure and cause a right to left shunt (cyanosis etc). The pathophysiology of pulmonary stenosis usually worsens with age because the pulmonary orifice stays the same size despite an increase in the size of the heart.

Overriding aorta The aortic valve has a biventricular connection. Instead of being positioned over the left ventricle, the aortic valve is located above the interventricular spetal defect allowing blood from both the right and left ventricles to pass through the aortic valve. The degree to which the overriding aorta is continuous with the right ventricle determines the severity of symptoms. Because the right ventricle receieves deoxygenated blood from the systemic circulation, the percent oxygenation of bloood entering the aorta and hence back into the systemic circulation is decreased.

Ventricular septal defect The interventricular septum dividing the left and right ventricles is incomplete at its superior, membranous end. During ventricular contraction, blood from the left ventricle passes into the right ventricle and then re-enters the pulmonary circulation. Leakage of blood from the left to right ventricle raises the right ventricular volume and pressure resulting in pulmonary hypertension. (Shortness of breath, dizziness and fainting) If the right ventricular pressure exceeds that of the left, the left to right shunt is reversed and the patient will experience cyanosis and deoxygenated blood is by-passing the lungs and entring the systemic circulation. (also breathlessness, poor feeding and failure to thrive in infancy.)

Rigth ventricular hypertrophy Compensatory response to pulmonary stenosis ...to be contined.

hey guys, this is the link to tetralogy of fallot in robbins pathology --z3291324 13:05, 2 September 2011 (EST)

More genetics and Surgery

Hey Peeps, i forund another article in regards to Genetics as it does an genotype-phenotype anaylis os TOF Patients. Have a read and see if it can help in the assignment subsection. if you cant get the full article tell me and ill give you the pdf of it.

Article: PMID: 19948535


And Regards to surgery and its prognosis post-operation i found these articles that may be helpful for 3291423. Again if yous cant find the pdf tell me and i'll send yous the pdf articles of these.

Articles: PMID: 20091166 ; PMID: 21769263 ; PMID: 21566339 (hey 3291423 this is the article i showed you in the lab and you wanted it from me)

Anyways peeps i hope all the assignments are coming along well

Regards --Z3291317 19:03, 1 September 2011 (EST)

REPLY: Thanks z3291317, I had a look through the files and am using them now for summarising :) also, can you send through the picture of what you want the abnormal TOF heart to look like and ill get cracking on it to produce/draw it :)

Thanks for typing them up. I'm going to research Pathophysiology and abnormalities and diagnostic tests. --z3291324 15:40, 24 August 2011 (EST)

Hey Group 6

From the Meeting on Tuesday after the Embryo lecture, we had concluded that we are going to divide the group project of TOF into the following sub-sections (if i am not mistaken):


  • Introduction
  • History
  • Epidemiology
  • Signs and Symptoms
  • Genetics/Aetiology
  • Pathopgysiology and Abnormalities
  • Diagnostic Tests
  • Treatment/Management
  • Prognosis
  • Future Directions
  • Glossary
  • References


From these subsections, I (z3291317) will research the History, Epidemiology and Signs & Symptoms subsections of the group Project.

Just wanted to put forward my part for the group project :)

Hey guys, I like the disease that Furkan found (tetralogy of fallot)! What does everyone think?

These are the two articles I found. The review article gives a pretty good description of the disease, symptoms, treatment and complications etc. The research article looks at some of the genetic causes.
