Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine. A type of arthritis that occurs when flexible tissue at the ends of bones wears down.
The wearing down of the protective tissue at the ends of bones (cartilage) occurs gradually and worsens over time.
Joint pain in the hands, neck, lower back, knees or hips is the most common symptom.
Medication, physiotherapy and sometimes surgery can help reduce pain and maintain joint movement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. What is arthritis?
• Arthritis literally means “joint inflammation” redness
and warmth within the joint.
• Because inflammation is painful, arthritis limits
movement
3.
4. TYPES OF ARTHRITIS
The three most common types of arthritis are:
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Gout
5. Osteoarthritis
intro:
• OA is the “wear-and-tear arthritis,” is also called
degenerative joint disease.
• OA is the most common form of arthritis and the
most common joint disease
• It usually develops after age 45 and progresses slowly,
often over a decade.
• Typically, the hips, hands, knees, lower back and/or
neck are affected
6. Cont..
• Osteoarthritis is an idiopathic disease
characterized by degeneration of
articular cartilage leads to wear and tear,
gross ulceration and finally
disappearance of the full thickness of
articular cartilage
7. Cont..
• As defined by the American College of
Rheumatology (ACR), OA is a
heterogeneous group of condition that
leads to joint signs and symptoms
which are associated with defective
integrity of articular cartilage, in addition
to related changes in the underlying
bone at the joint margins
8. OA
• OA is a disease of
joints that affects
all of the weight-
bearing
components of the
joint:
•Articular cartilage
•Menisci
•Bone
12. Incidence
• Osteoarthritis or OA, is the most common type of
arthritis
• It affects up to 27 million Americans.
• More common in women than men
• Majority of patients are over 65.
13. Pathophysiology
• The disease affects the joint cartilages.
• The cartilage helps bones glide over one another.
• In OA, cartilage within the joint gradually thins and wears away.
• As a result, bones rub against each other causing pain, swelling,
and loss of motion.
• Osteophytes (bone overgrowth) may develop when the ends of
the bone touch each other, and the joint can eventually become
deformed.
• When cartilage wears away, allowing bone to touch bone
completely, advanced or end-stage OA is diagnosed
14. CAUSES
• The root cause of OA is unknown
• the means of developing symptomatic OA is
influenced by multiple risk factors
15. Risk factors
• Age
• Age is the strongest risk factor for OA. Although OA
can start in young adulthood, if you are over 45 years
old, you are at higher risk.
• Female gender
• In general, arthritis occurs more frequently in women
than in men. Before age 45, OA occurs more frequently
in men; after age 45, OA is more common in women.
OA of the hand is particularly common among women.
16. Cont..
• Joint alignment
• •People with joints that move or fit together incorrectly, such as
bow legs, a dislocated hip, or double-jointedness, are at higher
risk
• Obesity/ overweight
• Being overweight during midlife or the later years is among the
strongest risk factors for OA of the knee.
• Trauma-Exercise or sports-generated stress placed on joint
• Sometimes family history
17. Signs and symptoms
• Depending on the joint affected, you may
experience:
• Pain
• Stiffness (especially after periods of inactivity)
• Swelling or tenderness in the joints
• Osteophytes (bony enlargement over the joint)
• Crepitus (crackling sound with joint movement)
18. Diagnosis
• OA is diagnosed with a thorough family history and
physical exam.
• X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): help
determine the cause of joint pain and the extent of
the damage.
• If fluid is present in the joint, the doctor may
aspirate (drain the fluid from) a swollen joint to
evaluate it in the laboratory.
19. OA – Disease Management
• OA is a condition which progresses slowly over a period of
many years and cannot be cured
•Treatment is directed at decreasing the symptoms of the
condition, and slowing the progress of the condition
•Functional treatment goals:
•Limit pain
•Increase range of motion
•Increase muscle strength

28. Rheumatoid arthritis
Definition:
• Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of chronic (ongoing) arthritis that
occurs in joints on both sides of the body (for instance, both
hands, wrists, and/or knees)
• Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, meaning that
patient’s immune system (the body’s infection-fighting system) is
overreacting against itself.
• While OA is confined to the joint(s), RA is systemic and can
affect the entire body.
29.
30. Rheumatoid arthritis
• RA commonly affects small joints such as the fingers
and toes, and can progress to large ones such as the
knees and shoulders.
• Typically, joints on both sides of the body are
similarly affected, but RA can involve a single joint
anywhere in the body
31. other parts of the body affected
• Skin
• Eyes
• Lungs
• Heart
• Blood
• Nerves
• Kidneys.
32. Incidence
• RA affects about 1% of the US population (about
2.1 million people).
• Often begins in middle age
• More frequent in the older generation
• RA can develop at any age but is most common between
ages 30 and 60, or during childhood.
33. Pathophysiology
• In RA, the immune system loses its ability to distinguish between
healthy joint cells and “foreign invaders.”
• The immune system attacks healthy cells causing inflammation in
the joint.
• The inflamed joint then starts attracting more immune cells
which results in swelling and fluid buildup at the joint.
• As the disease progresses, joint cartilage then wears away.
• Without treatment, joint destruction may occur quickly.
• Fortunately, the chances of maintaining joint function and
mobility in RA are very good with early treatment.
• Exposure to bacterial or viral infections and increased stress can
worsen RA.
34.
35.
36. Risk factors
• Family history of RA
• Age between 30 and 60
• Being female (70 percent of sufferers are women)
• Smoking
Obesity and prior joint injury will not increase your
risk of developing RA
37. Diagnosis
• Evaluation for RA involves a thorough history and
physical exam
• blood tests to detect antibodies.
• The two blood tests that are helpful in diagnosing
RA are:
• rheumatoid factor
• anti-CCP(Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide is an antibody
present in most rheumatoid arthritis patients).
38. Common symptoms
• Fatigue
• Low-grade fevers
• Warm, tender, stiff joints
• Joints on both sides of the body affected (usually, but not always)
• Bumps under the skin (rheumatoid nodules)
41. Gout
• Gout is an increasingly common form of arthritis in
people over 40 years of age.
• It involves sudden severe inflammation of a joint in which
uric acid crystals have collected
• Gout pain is described as being so intense that even
placing a sheet over the affected joint seems intolerable.
• Gout typically affects a single joint such as the big toe,
ankle or knee.
• The attacks may last from several days to two weeks and
can recur if not treated.
42.
43.
44. Pathophysiology
• Gout is caused by an inherited enzyme defect that
prevents the body from eliminating uric acid.
• Uric acid deposits that accumulate can cause white
bumps around the joint called tophi, usually in more
advanced disease.
47. Risk factors
• Frequent alcohol consumption
• Use of certain medications (thiazide diuretics to control
high blood pressure)
• Being male (gout is 10 times more common in men than
in women)
• Certain medical conditions (metabolic syndrome — the
combination of high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
diabetes and obesity — or heart failure)
• A family history of gout
48. Diagnosis
• The diagnosis of gout is based on a thorough history
and physical examination (the history is especially
helpful).
• To confirm the diagnosis, fluid may be aspirated
from the joint and examined under a microscope for
uric acid crystals.
49. Signs and symptoms
• Sudden onset of joint pain
• Warmth and swelling in the joint
• Affected area turns red or purple
• Usually just one joint is affected
50. Lifestyle modification.
• Drinking less alcohol and avoiding red meats, organ
meats and other foods that are rich in uric acid can
help reduce gout to a lesser degree.
51. Medications
• NSAIDs
• Steroids
• Allopurinol and febuxostat are medications used to
control uric acid levels and prevent or reduce the number
of gout attacks.
• Probenecid, a medication used to prevent the formation
of kidney stones from uric acid are also helpful.
• Colchicine may be used as well.
