This presentation focuses on different types of arthritis/joint disorders. It provides stepwise approach to evaluation and diagnoses and it's truly wonderful to have a broad overview of many joint conditions in one presentation - ranging from osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, to ankylosing spondilitis, and many others, including fibromyaligia.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disorder of synovial joints in which there is progressive softening and erosion/disintegration of the articular cartilage. In the presentation, I will deal in detail about the condition in every dimension with the most recent evidence.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
1. Rheumatoid Arthritis
(RA)
• A chronic, systemic disease
characterized by inflammation of
connective tissue in the synovial
joints
• Typically have periods of remission
and exacerbation
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis
(RA)
• Affects all ethnic groups
• Can occur at any time of life
• Incidence ↑ with age
• Women are affected 2-3 times more
frequently then men
• Smoking appears to be a link
3. Etiology and
Pathophysiology
• Cause of RA is unknown
• No infectious agent has been
cultured from blood and synovial
tissue or fluid
• Autoimmune etiology is currently the
most widely accepted
4. Etiology and
Pathophysiology
• Autoimmunity
– Changes begin when a susceptible host
experiences an initial immune response
to an antigen
– Antigen triggers the formation of an
abnormal immunoglobulin G (IgG)
5. Etiology and
Pathophysiology
• Autoimmunity
– RA is characterized by the presence of
autoantibodies (rheumatoid factor [RF])
– RF and IgG form immune complexes that
initially deposit on synovial membranes
or superficial articular cartilage in the
joints
– An inflammatory response results
6. Etiology and
Pathophysiology
• Autoimmunity
– Joint changes from chronic inflammation
begin when the hypertrophied synovial
membrane invades the surrounding
• Cartilage
• Ligaments
• Tendons
• Joint capsule
7. Etiology and
Pathophysiology
• Autoimmunity
– Pannus (a proliferation of synovial tissue)
forms within the joint
– Eventually covers and erodes the entire
surface of the articular cartilage
– Pannus scars and shortens supporting
structures
• Tendons
• Ligaments
– Causing joint laxity, subluxation, and
contracture
8. A. Synovial swelling & fluid accululation
B. Pannus, eroded articular cartilage &
joint space narrowing
10. Etiology and
Pathophysiology
• Genetic factors
– Genetic predisposition appears to be
important in the development of RA
– Strongest evidence for a familial
influence is the ↑ occurrence of certain
human leukocyte antigens (HLA)
11. Clinical Manifestations
Joints
• Onset of RA is typically insidious
• Nonspecific manifestations may
precede the onset of arthritic
complaints
– Fatigue
– Anorexia
– Weight loss
– Generalized stiffness
12. Clinical Manifestations
Joints
• Stiffness becomes more localized in
the following weeks to months
• Some patients report a history of
precipitating stressful events
– Research has been unable to correlate
such events directly with the onset of
RA
13. Clinical Manifestations
Joints
• Specific joint involvement
– Pain
– Stiffness
– Limitation of motion
– Signs of inflammation
• Heat
• Swelling
• Tenderness
14. Clinical Manifestations
Joints
• Joint symptoms occur symmetrically
and frequently
– Small joints of the hands and feet
– Larger peripheral joints
• Wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, hips,
ankles, and jaw
– Cervical spine
15. Clinical Manifestations
Joints
• Often experience joint stiffness
after periods of inactivity
• Morning stiffness may last from 60
minutes to several hours or more
• Joints become tender, painful, and
warm to the touch
16. Clinical Manifestations
Joints
• Joint pain
– ↑ with motion
– Varies in intensity
– May not be proportional to the degree
of inflammation
– Tenosynovitis
• Difficult for patients to grasp objects
17. Clinical Manifestations
Joints
• Inflammation and fibrosis of the
joint capsule and supporting
structures may lead to deformity and
disability
• Subluxation
– Atrophy of muscles and destruction of
tendons around the joint cause one
articular surface to slip past the other
23. Rheumatoid Nodules
• Develop in 25% of all patients with
RA
• Usually have high titers of RF
• Appear as firm, nontender,
granuloma-type masses
• Usually over the extensor surfaces
of joints such as fingers and elbows
24. Rheumatoid Nodules
• Nodules at the base of the spine and
back of the head are common in older
adults
• Develop insidiously
• Can persist or regress spontaneously
• Usually not removed
28. Complications
• Flexion contractures and hand
deformities
– Cause diminished grasp strength
– Affect the patient’s ability to perform
self-care tasks
29. Complications
• Cataract development and loss of
vision possible from scleral nodules
• Rheumatoid nodules can ulcerate,
similar to pressure ulcers
• Hoarseness from nodules on the vocal
cords
30. Complications
• Bone destruction from nodules in the
vertebral bodies
• Cardiopulmonary effects later in the
disease
– Pleurisy, pleural effusion, pericarditis,
pericardial effusion, cardiomyopathy
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
