Exercise is a subcategory of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive and purposeful with the objective of improving or maintaining one or more components of physical fitness.
AR inherited disorder of impaired copper excretion characterized by excessive deposition of copper in many tissues and organs, principally the liver, brain, and eye. • Discovered by Samuel Alexander kinnier Wilson. Liver fails to excrete sufficient Cu via the bile, and the ability to incorporate Cu into CP is diminished Due to loss of function mutations of the ATP7B gene on chromosome 13, which encodes a copper-transporting ATPase (ATP7B). Most common presentations are with liver disease or neuro- psychiatric disturbances. Kayser–Fleischer ring is the clinical hallmark of WD. caused by deposition of copper in Desçemet’s membrane of cornea. Penicillamine is the of choice.
The presence of symptoms and/or signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in people with diabetes after exclusion of other causes is called diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
The diagnosis is principally a clinical one. Patients with type 1 diabetes for 5 or more years and all patients with type 2 diabetes should be assessed annually.Treatment goals include
good glycemic control,symptomatic treatment and halt progressive nerve damage.
Acute epiglottitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the epiglottis and nearby structures like the arytenoids, aryepiglottic folds, and vallecula.It is a life-threatening infection that causes profound swelling of the upper airways which can lead to asphyxia and respiratory arrest.Bacterial etiology is the most common cause of epiglottitis. Soft tissue lateral xray of neck shows thumb sign. Airway management is the main concern of epiglottitis.
UC is an idiopathic IBD that affects the colonic mucosa.
Hallmark of UC is bloody diarrhea often with prominent symptoms of rectal urgency and tenesmus.
The clinical course is marked by exacerbations and remissions.
The diagnosis of UC is suspected on clinical grounds and supported by the appropriate findings on
Proctosigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

History
Following twisting injury of the next (left) knee
while steeping down from stairs
8. Examination of left knee
Look
Gait- antalgic, minimal joint effusion
Feel
Mid - line joint tenderness
Move
Extension lag and restricted ROM
9. DNVS-intact
Special test
Valgus stress test- positive
Lachman test and anterior drawer- doubtful
12. Knee injuries
Common injury
Unstable design
Exposure to external environment
Functional demand
Being major weight bearing joint knee injuries have significant
disability
Annually >1 million ER visits and 1.9 million OPD visits are of
acute knee injuries.(US)
14. In order to have an acute hemarthrosis IN the
knee, something INSIDE the knee must be
injured
D.D’s
1. Intra-articular Fracture
2. ACL / PCL Tear
3. Patellar Dislocation/ Subluxation
4. Meniscus Tear
15. Remember that MCL and LCL are
EXTRAarticular structures and isolated
collateral ligament injuries donot cause an
acute hemarthrosis
16. Approach to knee injuries
History
Focused knee
exam
Imaging/invasive
procedure
May be difficult in acute setting,
reevaluation can be done once
swelling and pain subsides
17. History
Diagnosis is made at history most of the times
Mechanism of Injury
Location of Pain
Mechanical Symptoms
Swelling/ Effusion
Past history
Available at: http://www.orthobullets.com/knee-and-sports/3003/history-and-physical-exam-of-the-knee. Accessed February 11,
2018.
21. Location of pain
Anterior, medial, lateral, posterior
Over joint line, bone and soft tissue structure
22. Mechanical symptoms
H/o locking episodes suggests a meniscal tear.
A sensation of popping at the time of injury suggests
ligamentous injury
Episodes of giving way are consistent with some degree of
knee instability and may indicate patellar subluxation or
ligamentous rupture.
23. Effusion / swelling
Rapid onset of a large, tense effusion suggests ACL rupture
or tibial plateau fracture
Slower onset mild to moderate effusion is consistent with
meniscal injury or ligamentous sprain.
Recurrent knee effusion after activity is consistent with
meniscal injury
24. Past History
Knee instability, knee surgery and use of medication for knee
pain
25. Knee examination
Always compare with normal knee
Look
abrasions, ecchymosis and localized swelling
provide clues to the magnitude of force and the MOI
Feel
patella and its supporting structures
Joint lines and collateral ligaments ,bones for tenderness,
crepitus and localized swelling
26. Move
Assess active and passive ROM
Locking or extension lag may suggest meniscal injury, intra
articular loose bodies
Assess DNVS
28. Anterior Drawer
Test
Supine and knee
flexed to 90
Sit on the
patient's foot and grasp
around the calf
Anterior force
Tibial glide > 5mm –
ACL laxity
•Least reilable-

•Most sensitive test
30. Posterior drawer test
Supine and knee
flexed to 90
Sit on the
patient's foot and grasp
around the calf
Posterior force
Tibial glide is compared
31. McMurray’s test
Knee joint –completely
flexed
Foot is rotated externally
and leg abducted
Knee is slowly extended
keeping leg externally
rotated and abducted
Patient may experience
pain or a click may be
heard- MM tear
Posterior tear – pain at more
flexed position
Similar test with foot internally
rotated and leg adducted is
carried out – LM tear
32. Collateral Ligament
Stress Test
Pain at ligament – partial tear
Minimal pain at ligament with
wide joint opening- complete
tear
Knee is flexed to
20-30·
Gently
abducted(test MCL)
and adducted (test
LCL)
Look for pain and
use finger at joint
line for joint
opening
33. Clinical evaluation clues to ACL injury

compression
37. Clues to fracture
History
• High velocity
injury
• Inability to
bear weight
immediately
PE
• Abrasion
• Ecchymosis
• Deformity
• Crepitus
39. Plain radiography
Initial imaging modality of choice
Baseline views are anteroposterior (AP) and lateral
If the lateral view is normal in the setting of acute trauma a
fracture is unlikely
40. MRI
If examination and initial imaging studies are inconclusive or
intra-articular and ligamentous injuries are suspected
Significantly affects the clinical decision-making process
Often prevent unnecessary knee arthroscopy
41. CT-scan
Useful in
Complex knee injuries to reveal fracture anatomy
Cases where fracture is suspected but radiographs are
negative
Assessment of tibial plateau fractures (comparable
accuracy to MRI)
Along with MRI can improve surgical planning
42. USG
Quick and inexpensive
Useful in dynamic evaluation of superficial soft tissue
structures
tendon lesions, joint effusions, bursitis, and cysts
43. ACL injury
US statics
200,000 ACL-related injuries
100,000 ACL reconstructions each year.
Incidence is higher among basketball, football, skiing, and
soccer player.
Females >> males
1.6-fold greater rate of ACL tears per athletic exposure in
high school female athletes than males.
A study by Gornitzky
44. Associated with meniscal tears in up to 50% of patients
Acute >> Lateral
Chronic >> Medial
Risk of reinjury is 15 times higher than general population
Don’t miss the diagnosis - consequences can be devastating
Medial meniscus injury (Bucket Handle Tear)
Articular cartilage injury
45. Anatomy
Fibrous collagenous connective
tissue that attaches the femur to
the tibia.
Primary (85%) restraint to anterior
translation of the tibia.
Secondary restraint to tibial rotation
and varus/valgus angulation at full
extension.
46. Mechanism of injury
Noncontact injury (80%)
Deceleration, changing
direction, cutting injuries, or
landing from a jump
Contact and high-energy
traumatic injuries (20%)
With other ligamentous and
meniscal injuries.
47. Hx:
Hearing or feeling a “pop” & knee gives way
Significant swelling quickly (< 1 hour)
Unable to continue play or activities due to pain, swelling and
instability or giving away
↓ range of motion (ROM)
Achy, sharp pain with movement
48. Physical examination
Look
Immediate effusion = significant intra-articular trauma.
Feel
Joint line and bony tenderness- associated injury
Assess ROM:
Lack of complete extension- bucket handle MM tear/
associated loose fragments
Special tests- lachman and anterior drawer test positive
50. Mri
Gold standard
Sensitivity -90 to 98%.
Fiber discontinuity, altered
course, abnormal signal of
ligament- acl tear
Bone bruising- 90%
Also helps to identifying
associated ligament,
meniscal, or articular cartilage
injury
Normal ACL Torn ACL
Bone bruising
52. Surgical
Replacing torn ACL with a tendon graft
2 most common grafts are
Patellar tendon graft
Hamstring graft
Goal
Prevent further damage to meniscus &cartilage and osteoarthritis.
53. The ACL reconstruction with a bone-
patellar-tendon-bone auto graft
Passed drill
Section of patella and
tendon removed
Patella tendon inserted
54. ACL reconstruction with a semitendinosis and/or
gracilis- tendon auto graft
Passage drilledHamstring graft prepared
Hamstring graft
inserted
55. the expected long-term success rate of ACL reconstruction is
between 75-95%.
Upto 80% of people return to pre injury state
Failure is mainly due to: recurrent instability, graft failure, or
arthrofibrosis.
Return to all sports activity may take 6-9 months
56. Meniscus injury
most common indication for knee surgery
higher risk in ACL deficient knees
57. Medial tears
more common - less
mobile
Lateral tears
more common in acute
ACL tears
62. Take home message
Think of 4 things when faced with a traumatic large acute hemarthrosis:
1. Fracture 2. ACL /PCL Tear
3. Patellar Dislocation 4.Quadriceps/Patellar Tendon rupture
Clinical evaluation gives diagnosis most of the times
MRI are helpful in diagnosing doubtful cases of ligament and meniscal
injuries
Fractures can be easily diagnosed on X-ray
Ct scan is helpful for suspected cases of intra articular fractures
ACL Tears and meniscal injuries are very common
63. Mcq
Most sensitive test to diagnose ACL tear is
1. Anterior drawer test
2. Lachman test
3. Posterior drawer test
4. McMurray test
64. Unhappy triad in knee injury is combination of
1. ACL + MCL+ LM injury
2. ACL + MCL + MM injury
3. ACL + LCL + LM injury
4. ACL + PCL + MM injury
65. Medial meniscus tear is more common than lateral because it
is
1. Larger in size
2. Less mobile
3. Medial rotation is more than lateral rotation
4. Fibroelastic
66. Refrences
