Alcoholism is a disease that silently damages the body's organs and can generate an addiction affecting one's lifestyle and relationships. It is one of society's most common problems and its effects should not be underestimated, as alcoholism can arise in anyone's life and profoundly change their personality and environment. Symptoms of alcoholism include lying about drinking amounts and developing a high tolerance. Children are also impacted by observing changes in adults when they are drunk, which can influence them to drink at a young age.

Exstrophy of bladder
Bladder exstrophy is a congenital (present at birth) abnormality of the bladder. It happens when the skin over the lower abdominal wall (bottom part of the tummy) does not form properly, so the bladder is open and exposed on the outside of the abdomen. In epispadias, the urethra does not form properly.
Conduct disorders
Conduct disorders are characterized by persistent patterns of violating the rights of others or social norms. They are more common in boys and often begin before age 18. Risk factors include being male, living in poverty, family history of conduct disorders, and experiences of abuse or neglect. There are three types categorized by age of onset. Diagnosis requires observation of at least three criteria across categories of aggression, destruction of property, deceitfulness, or rule violations, causing impairment. Treatment may include medication, counseling, and behavior modification through nursing interventions like monitoring behavior, redirecting violence, and building social skills.
Dialysis
Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are two types of dialysis used to replicate kidney function for patients with kidney failure. Hemodialysis uses a machine to filter waste from the blood outside of the body through a semipermeable membrane, while peritoneal dialysis introduces fluid into the abdomen to draw waste from the blood vessels within. Both aim to control fluid balance and remove toxins when the kidneys are unable to do so, helping to correct conditions like fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances, and metabolic acidosis. Key differences between the two include that hemodialysis requires vascular access while peritoneal dialysis uses a permanent catheter, and that hemodialysis is done at a center several times a week

Complications of alcohol
Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that can cause intoxication, sedation, and sometimes unconsciousness in large doses. Alcohol misuse refers to drinking that causes harm but does not include formal dependence. It can be recognized through screening questions like the CAGE questionnaire or AUDIT interview. Causes include genetic, learning, and psychiatric factors. Complications involve direct toxic effects on the gastrointestinal, nervous, and cardiovascular systems and increased infection risk. Mental effects include intoxication phenomena, withdrawal symptoms like delirium tremens, and associated disorders. Social complications comprise family problems like divorce, work difficulties, and increased crime risk.
Tricuspid atresia in pediatrics
Tricuspid atresia is a congenital heart defect where the tricuspid valve is absent or closed, preventing blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. This causes the right ventricle to be underdeveloped and the pulmonary artery to be narrow. To survive, babies with tricuspid atresia rely on openings between the atria (ASD) or ventricles (VSD) and/or a patent ductus arteriosus to provide pulmonary blood flow. Treatment depends on the amount of pulmonary blood flow, and may involve procedures like shunts, pulmonary artery banding, or ultimately the Fontan procedure. Complications can include arrhythmias, ventricular dysfunction,

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
