This document provides an overview of rotator cuff disorders and evidence related to diagnosis and management. Key points include:
- Rotator cuff tears can be caused by mechanical or degenerative factors and progress from tendinosis to partial or full thickness tears.
- Physical exams have low diagnostic accuracy for tears but clusters of tests may help. Investigations like ultrasound and MRI can better identify soft tissue pathology.
- Factors like age, tear size, tendon retraction and fatty infiltration affect outcomes, with larger/retracted tears and more fatty changes correlating to poorer prognosis.
- Initial management focuses on rest, analgesics and physiotherapy, with surgery for failed non-operative treatment. Surgical techniques like
Total Hip Arthroplasty involves replacing the hip joint with prosthetic components. The history of hip replacement began in the early 20th century using biological materials to resurface joints. Professor John Charnley pioneered modern hip replacement in the 1960s using a femoral stem and acetabular cup. Successful hip replacement requires restoring the biomechanics of the hip with appropriate implant fixation and stress transfer to bone. Complications can include dislocation, infection, loosening and osteolysis.
Basal joint arthritis, or arthritis of the thumb carpometacarpal joint, is a common condition affecting women in particular. It has multiple treatment options depending on the stage of arthritis. For early stage arthritis with instability, volar ligament reconstruction is recommended. For more advanced arthritis, options include ligament reconstruction with tendon interposition, trapezium excision with tendon interposition, or arthrodesis (fusion) of the joint, with the choice depending on patient age, demands, and severity of arthritis. Surgical treatment aims to relieve pain while maintaining function and stability.
The document provides information on recurrent patellar dislocation, including:
- Anatomy of the patella and its attachments
- Static and dynamic stabilizers of the patella
- Causes of patellar instability such as trochlear dysplasia, patella alta, increased Q angle
- Mechanisms of injury for acute vs recurrent dislocations
- Evaluation methods like the apprehension test, patellar glide test, and imaging views
Carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis most commonly affects the thumb joint, causing pain and loss of motion. It involves wear and tearing of cartilage at the saddle joint between the thumb metacarpal and trapezium bones. Non-surgical treatments include splinting and injections, while surgical options range from joint preserving procedures like osteotomy to joint replacement or fusion depending on severity. Outcomes of different procedures include reduced pain and improved function.
This document provides an overview of Lisfranc injuries, which involve the tarsometatarsal joint complex connecting the midfoot and forefoot. It describes the relevant anatomy, including the key Lisfranc ligament. Common mechanisms of injury are sports-related or high-energy trauma causing hyperextension or plantarflexion. Clinical presentation involves midfoot pain and swelling. Diagnosis relies on imaging like x-rays showing bone displacement. Injuries are classified based on the direction of metatarsal displacement. Treatment options include closed reduction for minor injuries or open reduction with internal fixation for severe fractures or dislocations.
Soft Tissue Balancing in Primary Total Knee ArthroplastyIhab El-Desouky
The document discusses principles of soft tissue balancing during primary total knee replacement, including defining soft tissue stabilizers of the knee, techniques for soft tissue balancing like measured resection and gap balancing, and how to manage coronal plane deformities like varus and valgus knees through staged releases of tight soft tissues and bone cuts that create symmetrical flexion and extension gaps.
This document summarizes classifications for Legg Calve Perthes disease. It describes the four stages of the disease based on Waldenstrom's 1922 pathology classification. It also discusses several classification systems used to stage the disease, predict outcomes, and define end results. These include Catterall, Salter Thompson, Herring, Modified Elizabethtown, Stulberg, and Mose classifications. Radiographic features and measurements like the CE angle are important factors in these classifications. The classifications aim to understand the natural history of the disease, prognosticate functional outcomes, and guide treatment decisions.
The document discusses meniscal injuries and pathology. It provides information on the anatomy and function of the menisci, as well as types of meniscal tears. The diagnosis of meniscal tears involves taking a history of the injury and examining for symptoms like joint line tenderness, effusion, and a locking sensation. Investigations may include x-rays, MRI, arthrography and arthroscopy. Treatment options discussed include non-surgical management for minor tears and surgical repair or resection for larger tears.

syndesmotic injury mechanism and treatment subject reviewSunil Poonia
This document summarizes a presentation on distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries. It begins with an overview of syndesmosis anatomy and the mechanisms of injury. Diagnosis involves physical exams like stress tests and imaging of tibiofibular spaces. Treatment may involve conservative immobilization or surgery using techniques like syndesmotic screws or suture buttons to reduce and stabilize the injury. Precise reduction and fixation are important for proper healing.
This document discusses implant selection considerations for revision total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. It begins by outlining common causes for revision TKR such as aseptic loosening and polyethylene wear. Key challenges in revision TKR are managing bone defects from osteolysis, compromised soft tissues, and restoring proper limb alignment. Implant options discussed include metaphyseal sleeves and stems to provide fixation in bone defect zones, as well as augmentations. Constraint levels from unconstrained to fully constrained implants are reviewed. Clinical cases demonstrate approaches for addressing instability, significant bone loss, and peri-prosthetic fractures in revision TKR.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a key ligament in the knee that prevents anterior tibial translation and rotational loads. It frequently tears during high-impact sports. The ACL inserts on the femur and tibia and is composed of two bundles that restrain movement differently based on knee flexion angle. While partial ACL tears may be treated nonsurgically, complete tears typically require surgical reconstruction using a graft to replace the torn ligament. Postoperative rehabilitation focuses initially on regaining range of motion and strength before gradually progressing to sport-specific activities.

Modified sauve kapandji procedure for patients with old fracturesPonnilavan Ponz
The document discusses a study evaluating the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a modified Sauve-Kapandji procedure for patients with old fractures of the distal radius. The modified procedure involves resection and reinsertion of the distal ulna into the distal radius after a 90-degree rotation. The study reviewed 15 patients who underwent the procedure with at least 7 months of follow up. Results found 80% of patients had excellent outcomes with reduced pain, improved range of motion, and grip strength. The modified Sauve-Kapandji procedure provides an effective treatment for chronic distal radioulnar joint disorders in patients with old distal radius fractures.
This document summarizes the key points of a procedure for total wrist arthroplasty. It begins with indications and contraindications. It then describes the implant components and surgical steps involved in implantation. The procedure involves resection of the distal radius and proximal row of carpal bones, followed by insertion of radial and carpal prosthetic components with a polyethylene bearing surface. Postoperative rehabilitation aims to achieve pain relief and functional range of motion of the wrist. Complications can include loosening and instability of the prosthetic components.
This document discusses various foot and ankle deformities and their treatments. It covers deformities including claw toes, cavus deformity, dorsal bunions, talipes equinus, talipes equino varus, and talipes equino valgus. It describes classifications of deformities and discusses tendon transfers, osteotomies, and arthrodesis procedures to correct different types of deformities based on the underlying muscle imbalances. Key considerations for surgical timing and approach are also outlined.
This document discusses the management of multi-ligament knee injuries (MLKI). It notes that MLKI have a low incidence but can cause life-threatening neurovascular complications. While the literature lacks large comparative studies, it generally supports early surgical treatment and rehabilitation. There is debate around issues like timing of surgery, repair vs reconstruction, graft choices, and postoperative rehabilitation. Proper assessment of neurovascular injury is important in the acute setting. Surgical management aims to anatomically reconstruct the injured structures using validated techniques to improve outcomes.
Carpal instability can result from injuries to ligaments like the scapholunate ligament. Examination may reveal tenderness over injured ligaments or pain with wrist motion. X-rays can detect instability patterns and MRI is sensitive for detecting ligament tears. Arthroscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis. Treatment depends on injury chronicity and severity, and may include ligament repair, reconstruction, capsuldesis, limited fusions, or total wrist fusion.
The document provides an overview of rotator cuff rehabilitation. It discusses that the rotator cuff has different roles as a stabilizer and torque producer depending on the position of the shoulder. Rehabilitation should focus on improving control, proprioception, timing, loading through the range of motion, and endurance. Exercises should incorporate the kinetic chain and provide rotational control and loading through the full range of movement.
This document discusses elbow tendinopathy and various treatment options. It begins by explaining common types of elbow tendinopathy and risk factors. Non-surgical treatments like eccentric exercises, corticosteroid injections, platelet-rich plasma injections, and autologous cell implantation are reviewed. Surgical options like arthroscopic and open tennis elbow release are also summarized. The document concludes by discussing the current state of research and the need for further well-designed clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of emerging non-surgical treatments.
Relationship between extrinsic factors and the acromio humeral distance (1)The Arm Clinic
This study investigated the relationship between various extrinsic factors and acromio-humeral distance (AHD) in male control and elite athlete shoulders. Measurements were taken of scapular rotation, shoulder range of motion, pectoralis minor length, thoracic curve, and AHD in neutral and 60° abduction. Correlations between the factors and AHD were determined, with some significant but weak relationships found. Multiple linear regression showed that combinations of factors accounted for up to 36% of the variance in AHD. The study supports that extrinsic factors influence AHD in a multi-factorial and population-specific manner.
This document discusses the management of painful neuromas, specifically focusing on non-surgical and surgical treatment options. It outlines the decision making process for determining which nerve is involved, what type of nerve it is, and whether the nerve was cut or intact. The key surgical options discussed are neurolysis, nerve repair/grafting, nerve burial/relocation, and nerve transfer. The overall principles of surgery are to move the nerve out of harm's way and give it a functional purpose.
Atraumatic/MDI - Physiotherapy Principles and ManagementThe Arm Clinic
Physiotherapy management of multidirectional instability (MDI) of the shoulder is complex due to various drivers of the condition. Research on MDI has been difficult to interpret due to inconsistent definitions, heterogeneous populations, lack of standardization, and insensitive outcome measures across studies. Physiotherapy aims to address drivers both local to the shoulder like atypical muscle activation patterns and scapular kinematics, as well as central nervous system drivers involving cortical reorganization. Rehabilitation focuses on normalizing range of motion, improving neuromuscular control, and training into positions of vulnerability using modalities that target specific muscles individually and create synergies between muscles.
This document discusses pain from biological, psychological, and social perspectives. It defines pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Pain is always subjective and influenced by early life experiences. While often caused by tissue damage, pain can also occur for psychological reasons alone. The document explores how psychological factors like stress and emotions can influence pain experience. It discusses conditions like sadism and masochism in relation to pain. Finally, it notes various social and cultural factors that can impact how individuals experience pain and illness.
Shoulder Impingement : The Surgeon's ApproachThe Arm Clinic
This document discusses the history and treatment of subacromial impingement. It describes Neer's theory of extrinsic impingement from the acromion and coracoacromial ligament. The standard open and arthroscopic approaches to subacromial decompression are outlined. Studies comparing surgery to exercise-based treatment show similar long-term outcomes, though surgery may provide better short-term relief. Factors predicting poorer outcomes include longer symptom duration, lack of social support, and non-compliance with rehabilitation. The role of the surgeon is to establish an accurate diagnosis and ensure adequate rehabilitation, as failure of non-surgical treatment may reflect systemic issues rather than patient factors alone.
Atraumatic Shoulder Instability Principles and AssessmentThe Arm Clinic
The document discusses atraumatic shoulder instability, providing 4 scenarios of 16-year-old girls with unstable shoulders. It describes how to differentiate instability from hyperlaxity and covers the static and dynamic stabilizers of the shoulder. The clinical assessment of atraumatic instability includes assessing contributions from the traumatic history, structural factors like the sulcus sign, and range of motion tests like the Gagey sign. Classification systems for instability including Rockwood and Stanmore are presented.
Non-Surgical Management of a Painful NeuromaThe Arm Clinic
Neuromas are nerve tumors that often form at amputation sites as severed nerve ends regrow abnormally. Clinical diagnosis involves palpating areas of sensitivity, allodynia, or hyperalgesia and observing signs like Tinel's. Investigations may include diagnostic anesthesia, MRI, ultrasound, or nerve conduction studies. Treatment options include medications, patches, neuromodulation, radiofrequency ablation, or chemical neurolysis to manage symptoms palliatively or potentially cure the condition. Drugs commonly used include gabapentinoids, opiates, anti-epileptics, and antidepressants.
The document discusses the role of suprascapular nerve decompression. It covers the epidemiology, anatomy, etiology, diagnosis, and management options for suprascapular nerve neuropathy. For younger overhead athletes with a space-occupying lesion and EMG changes, surgery such as SLAP repair alone often provides good results. For non-compressive lesions in younger patients, conservative treatment can be as effective as surgery. For older patients without a rotator cuff tear, decompression of the suprascapular nerve at the suprascapular notch through surgery has shown effectiveness if conservative treatment fails. For massive rotator cuff tears, repair or partial repair is considered, and if not possible, decompression or nerve
1) Shoulder impingement syndrome is caused by compression of the rotator cuff tendons between the acromion and humeral head. It commonly results from a hooked acromion or inflammation/thickening of the tendons.
2) Treatment begins conservatively with anti-inflammatories, cortisone injections, and physical therapy. If unsuccessful, surgery such as open or arthroscopic acromioplasty is recommended to remove bone spurs and widen the space.
3) Acromioplasty involves detaching the deltoid muscle, removing the coracoacromial ligament and anterior portion of the acromion, and inspecting/repairing any rotator
This document discusses shoulder impingement syndrome, including its anatomy, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, stages, and treatment approaches. It provides details on the rotator cuff muscles, signs and symptoms of impingement, external and internal factors that can lead to impingement, stages of the syndrome, common tests used for diagnosis, goals of treatment, and manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and preventative measures used in treatment.
Tendinopathy is caused by functional overload that leads to structural degradation of tendons over time. The core principles of evidence-based treatment involve restoring capacity through supporting mechanics like bracing and muscle strengthening exercises over a minimum of 12 weeks. Adjunct treatments like shockwave therapy may help if rehab is failing, as it is analgesic and safe for tendons, but should not replace the main treatment of supporting function and strengthening muscle through physiotherapy.
This document discusses evidence and concepts related to rotator cuff repair. It covers rotator cuff function and tears, the progression of cuff disease, making a diagnosis through history, physical exam and investigations, management options, and factors that affect outcomes of cuff repair surgery such as age, tear size, tendon retraction, fatty atrophy, and smoking.
Comparative study of functional outcome of lateral locking plate fixation an...Om Patil
This document presents a comparative study of functional outcomes between lateral locking plate fixation and dual plating for closed fractures of Schatzker's Grade V tibial condyles in adults. 40 patients with this injury were randomly assigned to either lateral locking plate fixation or dual plating. Patients were followed up to 6 months and evaluated based on range of motion, time to union, and functional scoring scales. Results found that dual plating provided greater stability but was associated with more soft tissue complications and longer surgery time compared to lateral locking plate fixation. Both approaches achieved high rates of fracture union and functional recovery of the knee.
Enthesopathies of the upper limb refer to diseases of tendon, ligament, or fascia attachments to bone. This document discusses the definition, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management options for upper limb enthesopathies. Treatment begins with activity modification, analgesia, and physiotherapy focusing on stretching and progressive strengthening exercises. For refractory cases, corticosteroid injections may provide short-term relief but are not recommended due to risk of tendon damage. Platelet-rich plasma injections and surgery are considered for patients who fail conservative treatments. The goal of any treatment is to balance the mechanical load on tissues with the tendon's capacity through gradual loading programs.
Shoulder pain is a common but complex issue to diagnose due to the shoulder's anatomy. The most common pathologies are subacromial impingement, rotator cuff tears, and adhesive capsulitis. Physical examinations combined with musculoskeletal ultrasound and MRI/MR arthrogram are important for diagnosis. Location and duration of pain, and findings on tests like empty can, lift-off, and ultrasound of structures like the coracohumeral ligament provide clues to the underlying problem.
This document provides information from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons on adult reconstructive hip and knee surgery.

Recurrent Anterior instability of Shoulder with bone lossMoazzam Jah
This document discusses methods for assessing and addressing bone loss in the context of recurrent anterior shoulder instability. It describes different types of glenoid and Hill-Sachs bone loss and techniques for measuring them, including using X-rays, CT scans, and MRI. Significant glenoid bone loss is considered >15-25% while a Hill-Sachs lesion is concerning if it is engaging or off-track. Treatment options discussed include arthroscopic Bankart repair, Latarjet procedure, remplissage, and bone grafting, with the approach depending on the size and location of any bone defects. The goal is to wisely select a treatment plan that addresses the specific bone loss pattern to achieve better outcomes.
Arthrolatarjet (Arthroscopic Latarjet Proc) Dr Sujit Jos keralaSujit Jos
Arthroscopic Latarjet procedure is gaining popularity in every part of the world as it combines the strength of Latarjet procedure while retaining the advantages of Arthroscopy.

This document summarizes the evolution and design of total shoulder endoprostheses. It discusses the early attempts at shoulder arthroplasty in the late 19th century. It then covers the development of modern total shoulder replacements through 3 generations of prosthesis design, focusing on improvements to the humeral and glenoid components to better restore anatomy. Key topics include surgical approaches, fixation techniques, outcomes data, and complications and revisions related to total shoulder arthroplasty.
This document contains 18 multiple choice questions related to orthopaedic surgery. Each question is followed by the preferred response and recommended reading materials. The questions cover topics such as compression of the median nerve at the elbow, congenital muscular torticollis exercises, preventing failure after fixation of an intertrochanteric fracture, osteoblast function, treatment for hip arthroplasty instability, and contraindications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Research Presentationtylers56
A 50-year-old man underwent reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) to repair a failed shoulder hemiarthroplasty. He had a history of traumatic shoulder dislocation and multiple stabilization procedures. Following rTSA, he participated in a home-based rehabilitation program with minimal supervision. At 8 months post-op, he demonstrated significant improvements in range of motion, strength, function, and pain relief. Radiographs also showed the prosthesis was securely in place without issues. This case suggests rTSA may be a viable option for younger, highly active patients to improve outcomes following failed shoulder replacement.
Results of Mini-Open Latarjet Procedure in Failed in Arthroscopic Bankart Rep...TheRightDoctors
The document summarizes a study on the mini-open Latarjet procedure for patients with failed arthroscopic Bankart repair for recurrent shoulder instability. 24 patients underwent the mini-open Latarjet procedure and were followed for a minimum of 2 years. Results found satisfactory range of motion, functional outcomes, and low recurrence rates. Complications were minor. The study concludes the mini-open Latarjet is an effective option for challenging cases of recurrent instability after failed soft tissue repair due to significant bone loss.
This document discusses several topics related to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), including:
1. Expectations for recovery after TKA are often misaligned between patients and surgeons, with over 50% of patients expecting higher levels of function than surgeons.
2. Moderate sports and physical activity after TKA do not appear to negatively impact implant durability or increase revision rates in the short or medium term. High-impact sports should still be avoided.
3. Knee rehabilitation protocols must account for numerous patient-specific variables to optimize outcomes, such as age, BMI, pre-operative activity level, type of implant, and adherence to home exercises. A one-size-fits-all approach is inadequate.
ACL Injury Hacks covers the entire physiology, etiology,pathology, diagnosis, recent advancements in diagnosis of ACL and focus on how an early and accurate diagnosis can contribute to a better treatment and rehabilitation as well as early return to sport of an athlete.
Revision ACL Reconstruction - A Case Presentation and Literature ReviewJeremy Burnham
This document summarizes a case presentation of a 23-year-old male college student undergoing revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery due to a failed primary ACL reconstruction surgery two years prior. The patient reported pain, swelling, and instability in his right knee. His surgical history included an ACL reconstruction with a soft tissue allograft and partial meniscectomies two years ago. During the revision surgery, the surgeons found remnants of the previous ACL graft with few fibers left and new meniscus tears. The revision surgery involved constructing a new ACL graft and additional partial meniscectomies. Post-operatively, the patient was doing well with pain controlled and no complications.
This document discusses evidence-based medicine (EBM) and summarizes several studies comparing different treatment methods for distal femur fractures. EBM aims to optimize patient care by emphasizing evidence from well-designed research. Several articles compare outcomes of internal fixation with intramedullary nails versus locking plates. In general, nails provide better callus formation, stiffness, and less micromotion at the fracture site, while plates have higher nonunion rates and require more secondary procedures. Retrograde nailing appears to have advantages for distal femur fractures, including improved alignment and reduced complications.
This document discusses various tendon transfer procedures for rotator cuff tears, including latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, and teres major transfers. It provides indications for tendon transfers, such as massive rotator cuff tears with weakness and functional strength loss. It also lists prerequisites for tendon transfers, such as having an intact antagonist muscle and deltoid. The document then focuses on specific procedures like latissimus dorsi transfers for massive posterior superior rotator cuff tears and pectoralis major transfers for massive subscapularis tears. It provides criteria for candidates for each procedure and discusses outcomes from studies on latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major tendon transfers. Superior capsular

A comparative study on uroculturome antimicrobial susceptibility in apparentl...Bhoj Raj Singh
The uroculturome indicates the profile of culturable microbes inhabiting the urinary tract, and it is often required to do a urine culture to find an effective antimicrobial to treat UTIs. This study targeted to understand the profile of culturable pathogens in the urine of apparently healthy (128) and humans with clinical UTIs (161). In urine samples from UTI cases, microbial counts were 1.2×104 ± 6.02×103 colony-forming units (cfu)/ mL, while in urine samples from apparently healthy humans, the average count was 3.33± 1.34×103 cfu/ mL. In eight samples (six from UTI cases and two from apparently healthy people) of urine, Candida (C. albicans 3, C. catenulata 1, C. krusei 1, C. tropicalis 1, C. parapsiplosis 1, C. gulliermondii 1) and Rhizopus species (1) were detected. Candida krusei was detected only in a single urine sample from a healthy person and C. albicans was detected both in urine of healthy and clinical UTI cases. Fungal strains were always detected with one or more types of bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria were more commonly (OR, 1.98; CI99, 1.01-3.87) detected in urine samples of apparently healthy humans, and Gram -ve bacteria (OR, 2.74; CI99, 1.44-5.23) in urines of UTI cases. From urine samples of 161 UTI cases, a total of 90 different types of microbes were detected and, 73 samples had only a single type of bacteria. In contrast, 49, 29, 3, 4, 1, and 2 samples had 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 types of bacteria, respectively. The most common bacteria detected in urine of UTI cases was Escherichia coli detected in 52 samples, in 20 cases as the single type of bacteria, other 34 types of bacteria were detected in pure form in 53 cases. From 128 urine samples of apparently healthy people, 88 types of microbes were detected either singly or in association with others, from 64 urine samples only a single type of bacteria was detected while 34, 13, 3, 11, 2 and 1 samples yielded 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and seven types of microbes, respectively. In the urine of apparently healthy humans too, E. coli was the most common bacteria, detected in pure culture from 10 samples followed by Staphylococcus haemolyticus (9), S. intermedius (5), and S. aureus (5), and similar types of bacteria also dominated in cases of mixed occurrence, E. coli was detected in 26, S. aureus in 22 and S. haemolyticus in 19 urine samples, respectively. Gram +ve bacteria isolated from urine samples' irrespective of health status were more often (p, <0.01) resistant than Gram -ve bacteria to ajowan oil, holy basil oil, cinnamaldehyde, and cinnamon oil, but more susceptible to sandalwood oil (p, <0.01). However, for antibiotics, Gram +ve were more often susceptible than Gram -ve bacteria to cephalosporins, doxycycline, and nitrofurantoin. The study concludes that to understand the role of good and bad bacteria in the urinary tract microbiome more targeted studies are needed to discern the isolates at the pathotype level.

The association atezolizumab (ATEZO) plus bevacizumab (BEVA) has demonstrated its effectiveness in the post-operative treatment of patients, improving the results that can be achieved with liver resections. This after the failure of the use of sorafenib in the already historic STORM study.
On the other hand, the prognostic classification of BCLC is now widely questioned. It is now well recognized that the indications for surgery for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are certainly narrow in BCLC and no longer reflect what is common everyday clinical practice.
Today, the concept of multiparametric therapeutic hierarchy, which makes the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma much more flexible and allows the best therapy for the individual patient to be identified based on their clinical characteristics, is gaining more and more importance.
The presentation traces these profound changes that are taking place in recent years and offers a modern vision of the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
POTENTIAL TARGET DISEASES FOR GENE THERAPY SOURAV.pptxsouravpaul769171
Theoretically, gene therapy is the permanent solution for genetic diseases. But it has several complexities. At its current stage, it is not accessible to most people due to its huge cost. A breakthrough may come anytime and a day may come when almost every disease will have a gene therapy Gene therapy have the potential to revolutionize the practice of medicine.
Mainstreaming #CleanLanguage in healthcare.pptxJudy Rees
In healthcare, every day, millions of conversations fail. They fail to cover what’s really important, fail to resolve key issues, miss the point and lead to misunderstandings and disagreements.
Clean Language is one approach that can improve things. It’s a set of precise questions – and a way of asking them – which help us all get clear on what matters, what we’d like to have happen, and what’s needed.
Around 1000 people working in healthcare have trained in Clean Language skills over the past 20+ years. People are using what they’ve learnt, in their own spheres, and share anecdotes of significant successes. But the various local initiatives have not scaled, nor connected with each other, and learning has not been widely shared.
This project, which emerged from work done by the NHS England South-West End-Of-Life Network, with help from the Q Community and especially Hesham Abdalla, aims to fix that.
Chemical kinetics is the study of the rates at which chemical reactions occur and the factors that influence these rates.
Importance in Pharmaceuticals: Understanding chemical kinetics is essential for predicting the shelf life of drugs, optimizing storage conditions, and ensuring consistent drug performance.
Rate of Reaction: The speed at which reactants are converted to products.
Factors Influencing Reaction Rates:
Concentration of Reactants: Higher concentrations generally increase the rate of reaction.
Temperature: Increasing temperature typically increases reaction rates.
Catalysts: Substances that increase the reaction rate without being consumed in the process.
Physical State of Reactants: The surface area and physical state (solid, liquid, gas) of reactants can affect the reaction rate.

Support for Distal Extension Denture Bases
Establishment and Verification of Occlusal Relations and Tooth Arrangements
Initial Placement Procedures
Periodic Recall
Education of Patient
Informing a patient about a health matter to
secure informed consent.
Patient education should begin at the initial
contact with the patient and should continue throughout treatment.
The dentist and the patient share responsibility for the ultimate success of a removable partial denture.
This educational procedure is especially important when the treatment plan and prognosis are discussed with the patient.
Diagnosis, Treatment Planning, Design, Treatment, Sequencing, and Mouth Preparation
Begin with thorough medical and dental histories.
The complete oral examination must include both clinical and radiographic interpretation of:
caries
the condition of existing restorations
periodontal conditions
responses of teeth (especially abutment teeth) and residual ridges to previous stress
The vitality of remaining teeth
Continued…..
Occlusal plan evaluation
Arch form
Evaluation of Occlusal relationship through mounting the diagnostic cast
The dental cast surveyor is an absolute necessity in which patients are being treated with removable partial dentures.
Mouth preparations, in the appropriate sequence, should be oriented toward the goal of
providing adequate support, stability,
retention, and
a harmonious occlusion for the partial denture.
Support for Distal Extension Denture Bases
A base made to fit the anatomic ridge form does not provide adequate support under occlusal loading.
The base may be made to fit the form of the ridge when under function.
Support for Distal Extension Denture Bases
This provides support
