Soccer Shoulder - Lennard Funk
This document discusses shoulder injuries in professional soccer players. It contains the following key points:
- Shoulder injuries represent around 3% of all injuries in professional soccer but typically result in the longest absence from play.
- Labral injuries are more common in outfield players while rotator cuff pathology is more common in goalkeepers.
- MR arthrography is the preferred imaging investigation and arthroscopic surgery is commonly used to treat shoulder injuries in professional soccer players. Rehabilitation is sports-specific.
- Most players return to unrestricted play within 3 months following surgery for major shoulder injuries.
GS43_09c. Israel Tads and FMD 2019
Dr. Tamir Goshen presented on FMD and TADS threats in Israel. Israel faces regular incursions of FMD from neighboring endemic countries with little warning. Recent outbreaks in 2017-2018 occurred in the valleys and Golan Heights. Annual vaccination is used to control FMD, but outbreaks still occur. Emerging diseases are also a threat, including ephemeral fever in cattle, Simbu group viruses causing abortions and birth defects, and Rift Valley Fever. Effective control measures, vaccine availability, and preparedness for RVF are ongoing challenges.

Low risk of serological cross-reactivity between dengue and COVID-19.pdf
This study investigated potential serological cross-reactivity between COVID-19 and dengue patients. Among 32 COVID-19 positive serum samples, no positive dengue virus (DENV) IgG/IgM results were observed. However, one false-positive result was observed among 44 DENV-positive serum samples tested for COVID-19 antibodies using two different rapid tests. While cross-reactivity between the viruses appears low based on this limited study, more data is needed on the accuracy of COVID-19 diagnostic tests, especially in regions where multiple tropical diseases are endemic.

VEXAS syndromes , a diagnostic Puzzlepptx
This document discusses VEXAS syndrome, a recently discovered autoinflammatory and hematologic condition caused by somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene. It provides details on the clinical manifestations (fevers, inflammatory symptoms affecting skin, joints, lungs, blood vessels), hematological abnormalities (anemia, cytopenias), and challenges in management due to the combined inflammatory and hematological involvement. Diagnosis is confirmed via genetic testing demonstrating UBA1 mutations. Treatment aims to suppress inflammation and eliminate mutant hematopoietic cells, but outcomes remain poor with high mortality.
Autoimmune ILD.pptx
1. The document discusses when to call an immunologist in an interstitial lung disease (ILD) clinic. It provides information on clinical signs, autoantibodies, and instrumental exams that can help recognize autoimmune ILD associated with rheumatic diseases.
2. Risk factors for developing ILD in autoimmune rheumatic diseases include certain diseases like systemic sclerosis, as well as specific autoantibodies. Monitoring of pulmonary symptoms depends on the underlying rheumatic disease but may include regular testing and imaging.
3. A multidisciplinary approach is important for diagnosing and managing autoimmune ILD, and guidelines recommend evaluating any newly diagnosed ILD for an underlying autoimmune rheumatic disease.
Capillaroscope.pptx
Capillaroscope is a new tool for assessment of nail capillary that add value in diagnosis many autoimmune diseases e.g systemic sclerosis and SLE.
Managment of HAE..pptx
Management of hereditary angioedema involves treating acute attacks, preventing attacks, and improving quality of life. Treatment strategies include treating acute attacks, preventing attacks short-term before procedures, and long-term prophylaxis. Therapies include C1 inhibitor replacement, bradykinin receptor antagonists, attenuated androgens, and antifibrinolytics. An individualized treatment plan is recommended based on a patient's attack frequency, severity and location, as well as their medication access and preferences.
H.S 2.pptx
Hidradenitis Suppurativa Acne Inverse, line of management of H.s is still not evidence base. how to deal?
H.S.pptx
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by recurrent abscesses and scarring in the apocrine gland-bearing areas. It typically presents in young adults and is more common in women and people of African descent. Obesity, smoking, family history and certain drugs are associated risk factors. The pathogenesis involves occlusion of hair follicles leading to rupture, inflammation, abscess formation and scarring. Diagnosis is clinical though imaging and biopsy may help in some cases. Treatment aims to control flare-ups and prevent scarring. The course is usually chronic with intermittent flares and remissions.

New Biomarker in JIA.pptx
- The document analyzes IL-18 and IFN-gamma as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients. It finds that IL-18 levels correlate with disease activity and can predict response to therapy, while IFN-gamma levels indicate response to therapy. The study compares biomarker and disease activity measurements in 45 JIA patients at initial presentation and after treatment. It concludes that IL-18 and IFN-gamma may be promising markers for detecting prognosis and treatment response in JIA patients.
Autoimmune with thrombosis.pptx
This document discusses three case studies of patients with autoimmune diseases and thrombosis. It then provides statistics on the increased risk of thrombosis in various autoimmune diseases compared to the general population. The mechanisms of thrombosis in autoimmune diseases are reviewed. Several pearls and myths regarding thrombosis and treatment in autoimmune diseases are discussed, including that all autoimmune diseases confer a hypercoagulable state; anticoagulants are not always effective or safe for Bechet's syndrome; and immunosuppressive drugs may also cause thrombosis. The take home message is that autoimmune diseases are both inflammatory and hypercoagulable, and risk versus benefit of anticoagulants like DOACs must be considered.
Lupus mimicker2.pptx
This document discusses systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and conditions that can mimic its presentation. It describes how SLE often has a waxing and waning chronic course that can vary in severity. Several infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions can present similarly to SLE through involvement of multiple organ systems and production of autoantibodies. Correct diagnosis requires a thorough history, physical exam, targeted testing, and biopsies to distinguish SLE from its mimickers. Serological similarities alone do not confirm SLE if clinical features are inconsistent.
Pediatric autoimmune uveitis.pptx
Pediatric uveitis can be caused by autoimmune or autoinflammatory disorders. The most common type seen in children is chronic anterior uveitis, unlike adults where it is less common. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-associated anterior uveitis is the most frequent cause of uveitis in children. It is typically bilateral and non-granulomatous with a chronic relapsing course. Idiopathic intermediate uveitis (pars planitis) commonly affects children and adolescents and has a low association with systemic diseases. Behcet's disease onset is most common in late childhood, with bilateral recurrent panuveitis and retinal vasculitis seen clinically.
Adult Still disease..pptx
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare autoinflammatory disorder characterized by high spiking fever, evanescent rash, arthritis, and multiorgan involvement. It was first described in adults in 1971. The disease most commonly affects young adults and women. Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria and exclusion of other conditions. Treatment involves nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories initially followed by disease-modifying drugs like methotrexate. Biologics that inhibit IL-1 or IL-6 are effective for refractory or complicated cases. Prognosis is generally good but complications can include macrophage activation syndrome, organ failure, or amyloidosis.
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease that affects melanin-containing tissues like the eyes, inner ears, skin, and brain. It is characterized by bilateral uveitis and can cause vision loss. The disease occurs in phases including prodromal, acute uveitic, convalescent, and recurrent. Treatment involves high-dose corticosteroids for at least 6 months to reduce inflammation and recurrence risk. Immunosuppressants may be needed for resistant cases. Prognosis depends on factors like early treatment, treatment duration, and presence of complications. Strict monitoring is needed due to risk of vision threatening complications.
FMF
Familial Mediterranean Fever is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent fevers and inflammation localized to the peritoneum, pleura, joints, or skin. It is most common in people of Mediterranean descent and is caused by mutations in the MEFV gene. Symptoms include abdominal pain, fever, arthritis, and erysipelas-like lesions. If left untreated, it can lead to amyloidosis. Treatment involves lifelong colchicine to prevent inflammatory episodes and reduce amyloidosis risk. Some patients may be resistant to colchicine and require alternative treatments like interleukin-1 or tumor necrosis factor inhibitors.
Gaint cell arteritiis (GCA)
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a large vessel vasculitis that commonly affects the branches of the carotid artery and causes headaches, jaw claudication, and vision loss. The pathology involves granulomatous inflammation in the vessel walls. Diagnosis is based on temporal artery biopsy showing giant cells, but imaging such as ultrasound, CT, and PET can also provide supportive evidence of vessel inflammation. Treatment involves high-dose corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and prevent relapses and vision loss, with tapering over 2-5 years. Monitoring for complications like aortic aneurysms is also important given the vessel involvement.
Polyarteritis nodasa and microscopic polyangitis
This document discusses Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN) and Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA). PAN is a necrotizing vasculitis predominantly affecting medium-sized arteries that spares small vessels. It is typically ANCA-negative. MPA is a pauci-immune necrotizing vasculitis involving small vessels and sometimes medium arteries, associated with ANCA positivity. Both diseases can affect multiple organ systems and have variable clinical manifestations. Differentiation is based on vessel size involvement and ANCA status according to the Chapel Hill consensus criteria.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.
biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
