Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in the deep veins of the legs, thighs, pelvis or arms. Risk factors for DVT include immobilization, recent surgery or trauma, certain medications, and inherited or acquired hypercoagulability. Symptoms include leg pain, tenderness, swelling, warmth, and skin discoloration of one leg. Diagnosis is made through Doppler ultrasound, CT venography, or MRI imaging along with blood tests. Treatment involves anticoagulant drugs like heparin or warfarin to prevent pulmonary embolism and further clots.

Varicose vein
This document provides information on varicose veins, including their history, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Some key points:
- Varicose veins are caused by incompetent valves in the veins that lead to increased pressure in the veins below. This can cause pain and skin changes.
- Diagnosis involves examination of the veins and skin, and tests like ultrasound and Doppler to evaluate reflux and blockages.
- Treatment ranges from compression stockings for mild cases to surgical procedures like vein stripping or ablation for more severe cases. Surgery aims to remove damaged veins and relieve pressure.
- Varicose veins are common, affecting about half the adult population to some degree. Risk factors
Acute Pulmonary Embolism
This document discusses acute pulmonary embolism (PE), which results from blood clots (deep vein thromboses or DVTs) breaking off and traveling to the lungs. PE is a leading cause of preventable hospital death. The document covers risk factors for PE like immobility, surgery, cancer, and inherited conditions. It also discusses methods for diagnosing PE like the Wells criteria, D-dimer testing, chest imaging like CT scans, and treatment including anticoagulation and thrombolysis for hemodynamically unstable patients. Poor prognostic signs of PE include hypotension, cardiac biomarkers indicating injury, and imaging findings of right ventricular dysfunction. Prevention through appropriate DVT prophylaxis is emphasized.
DVT
Clinical assessment and D-dimer tests have limited accuracy in diagnosing DVT due to non-specific signs and symptoms. Duplex ultrasonography is the primary diagnostic test due to its accuracy, lack of radiation exposure, and cost-effectiveness. It can identify thrombi based on increased echogenicity, diameter and lack of compressibility of veins. MRV and CT venography are alternatives but provide less accuracy for calf veins and involve contrast or radiation. Plethysmography and contrast venography are less commonly used due to limitations and risks. Early and accurate diagnosis of DVT is important for optimal treatment outcomes.
Dvt
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in the deep veins, usually of the legs. It can be asymptomatic or cause leg pain, swelling, warmth, and redness. Risk factors include prolonged bed rest, surgery, cancer, and inherited or acquired hypercoagulable states. Diagnosis involves the Wells criteria for pre-test probability followed by D-dimer testing and duplex ultrasound imaging of the legs. Treatment aims to prevent pulmonary embolism and includes bed rest, leg elevation, compression stockings, and anticoagulation medications like heparin or warfarin. Differential diagnoses include cellulitis, arthritis, and peripheral edema from other causes.

What is DVT?
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that develops in a deep vein, usually in the leg. It can cause pain, swelling and tenderness in the leg. DVT is diagnosed through tests like a D-dimer test, ultrasound scan or venogram. Treatment involves anticoagulant medicines to reduce clotting and prevent existing clots from growing. Preventing DVT involves not smoking, regular exercise and avoiding long periods of inactivity. Untreated DVT can potentially lead to a pulmonary embolism.
ganglion cyst.pptx
The document provides an overview of ganglion cysts. It begins with an introduction defining ganglion cysts as sacs of fluid that form over joints or tendons. It then discusses the epidemiology, noting that ganglion cysts most commonly occur on the back of the hand and are more frequent in women ages 20-40. The document outlines potential risk factors and pathophysiology. Signs and symptoms include swelling, bumps or masses near joints that may cause pain or limit motion. Management options include monitoring small cysts, aspiration to drain fluid, or surgery to remove the cyst and attachment area.
Empyema thoracis
Empyema thoracis is the accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity. It develops in stages from an initial exudative stage with low LDH and normal glucose/pH, to a fibropurulent stage with fibrin deposition and loculations, and finally an organization stage with pleural peels. Symptoms include dyspnea, fever, cough and chest pain. Diagnosis is made by thoracentesis showing low glucose, high LDH and low pH. Management depends on stage and includes antibiotics, tube thoracostomy, VATS, decortication or open window thoracostomy. Complications are more common in chronic cases, including bronchopleural fistulas.
Dermatomyositis
Dermatomyositis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin and muscles that is characterized by an autoimmune pathogenesis. It commonly presents with characteristic rashes like Gottron's papules and heliotrope rash as well as proximal muscle weakness. Dermatomyositis can also involve internal organs like the lungs, esophagus and heart. Diagnosis involves assessing clinical features, muscle enzymes, electromyography, muscle/skin biopsies and identifying myositis-specific antibodies. Prognosis depends on the severity and organ involvement, with risks of residual weakness, contractures and death from respiratory or cardiac complications.

Pathology often involves remodeling of small pulmonary arteries and arterioles. Presentation is usually nonspecific symptoms like dyspnea. Diagnosis involves echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization, and ruling out other causes. Treatment includes vasodilators, anticoagulation, diuretics, oxygen supplementation and sometimes
Pleural empyema dr.tinku joseph
This document provides information on pleural empyema, including its definition, etiology, stages, symptoms, investigations, and management. Pleural empyema, also known as pyothorax, is the accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity. It can develop as a complication of conditions like pneumonia or following trauma. Management involves treating the infection with antibiotics, draining the pus via procedures like chest tube insertion or VATS, and re-expanding the lung. Treatment may also include procedures like thoracocentesis, fibrinolytics, or open drainage if more invasive measures are needed.
Still's disease
Still's disease, sometimes referred to as Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the classic triad of persistent high spiking fevers, joint pain and a distinctive salmon-colored bumpy rash.
Peripheral arterial disease
1. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects up to 10% of people over 65 and manifests most commonly in men over 50. PAD symptoms range from asymptomatic to classic intermittent claudication pain to critical limb ischemia.
2. Diagnosis involves assessment of symptoms, physical exam including pulse checks and ankle-brachial index measurement. Imaging like duplex ultrasound, CTA, and MRA can further evaluate arterial anatomy and guide treatment.
3. Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and family history. Management involves lifestyle changes, medication, and procedures like angioplasty or bypass for more severe cases.
Neurosyphilis
Neurosyphilis is an infection of the nervous system caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis. It typically develops after many years of untreated syphilis. Symptoms vary depending on the areas affected but may include mental deterioration, paralysis, meningitis, tabes dorsalis resulting in girdle pain and joint damage, and ocular symptoms. Treatment involves intravenous penicillin, but neurosyphilis can still cause permanent damage. Nursing care focuses on maintaining patient health, safety, and independence through measures like seizure precautions, skin care, physiotherapy, and partner screening.
Mediastinitis
Mediastinitis refers to infection or inflammation in the mediastinum, the area within the chest between the lungs. It can develop due to perforation of the esophagus or trachea, direct extension of infection from the neck or thorax, or following cardiac surgery involving median sternotomy. Clinical features include severe chest pain, fever, and signs of mediastinal structure compression. Diagnosis involves imaging and microbiological tests. Aggressive surgical drainage, debridement, and prolonged antibiotics are usually needed for treatment.
Reactive Arthritis
Christopher Columbus may have suffered from and died of Reiter's arthritis. Reiter's arthritis is a painful inflammatory arthritis that develops after certain bacterial or viral infections, often in the genitourinary or gastrointestinal tracts. Symptoms include joint pain and swelling, eye inflammation, and genital lesions. Treatment focuses on treating underlying infections, reducing pain and inflammation, and managing joint symptoms.
12100053 pulmonary contusion
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) allows for the comprehensive examination of the chest with high sensitivity and specificity. It can detect pulmonary contusions and other thoracic injuries like rib fractures, hemothoraces, and pneumothoraces that may be missed on initial chest x-rays. MDCT is now the gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary contusions due to its ability to quantify the amount of injured lung and predict patient prognosis. The rapid acquisition speed of MDCT reduces motion artifacts compared to previous CT technologies.

DVT Presentation1 preview
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, most frequently in the leg. Part of the clot can break off and travel to the lungs, called a pulmonary embolism (PE), blocking blood flow. Together DVT and PE are called venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is a leading cause of preventable hospital deaths worldwide. While symptoms are often absent, complications of DVT include post-thrombotic syndrome and pulmonary hypertension, and complications of PE include permanent lung damage or sudden death. Studies show the incidence of VTE to be higher in India than previously believed, with orthopedic surgeries significantly increasing risk without prophylaxis

deep vein thrombosis
Venous thromboembolism refers to blood clots forming in the veins, which can break off and travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that forms deep in the leg veins and can progress upwards. Superficial vein thrombosis involves shallow leg veins near the skin surface. Risk factors include surgery, trauma, cancer, genetic conditions. Symptoms include leg pain/swelling. Diagnosis involves D-dimer testing and ultrasound imaging of leg veins. Treatment is blood thinners to prevent clot growth and embolism.
Deep vein thrombosis
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) refers to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs, and PE occurs when part of the clot breaks off and lodges in the lungs. Risk factors for VTE include older age, surgery, trauma, cancer, and prolonged immobility. Diagnosis involves blood tests like D-dimer and imaging tests like ultrasound, CT, or venography. Treatment consists of blood thinners like heparin or low molecular weight heparins to prevent clot growth and embolism while allowing the body to naturally break down the clots.
clinical aspects of vein
This document discusses the clinical aspects of veins, including:
1) The anatomy of the venous system in the leg, including deep and superficial veins.
2) The physiology of venous blood flow, which is governed by arterial pressure, the calf musculovenous pump, gravity, and venous valves.
3) Common vein disorders like venous thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, and chronic venous insufficiency which can result from valve damage or reflux and cause complications like ulceration.

Risk factors include surgery, trauma, cancer, and prolonged immobility. Symptoms may include leg pain, swelling, redness, and warmth. Diagnosis involves assessing risk factors and testing such as ultrasound, venography, MRI, or D-dimer blood test. Treatment focuses on blood thinners to prevent clot growth and embolism.
Peripheral vascular disease
Peripheral vascular diseases can be acute or chronic and complete or incomplete based on time course and severity. Acute arterial occlusion causes pain, pallor, pulselessness, coldness, and paralysis in the affected limb. Emboli originate elsewhere while thrombi form within the obstructed vessel. Chronic vascular insufficiency may cause claudication, rest pain, ulceration, or gangrene. Investigations include doppler, angiography, and ABI to assess severity and guide management including risk factor modification, exercise, medications, and surgeries. Buerger's disease specifically involves small vessels, smoking, and distal ischemia.

DUB
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding outside of pregnancy, and is caused by functional abnormalities of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. DUB accounts for the large majority of abnormal uterine bleeding cases. Evaluation involves obtaining a detailed history, physical exam, and endometrial sampling. Treatment options include medical management with various hormonal regimens or surgical options like endometrial ablation or hysterectomy.
Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by proteinuria, low protein levels, edema, and high cholesterol. It is caused by increased permeability of the glomerular basement membrane, allowing protein to pass into the urine. Symptoms include edema, fatigue, and abdominal pain. Laboratory tests show protein in the urine, low serum protein and albumin levels, and elevated cholesterol. Treatment focuses on restricting salt and protein intake, using diuretics to control edema, and treating the underlying cause, often by using corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs. The prognosis depends on the cause, with minimal change disease often responding well to treatment.
Kidney & Urinary System
The document outlines the structure and functions of the kidney and urinary system. It describes the parts of the nephron including the glomerulus, proximal and distal tubules, and collecting ducts. It discusses renal functions such as water balance, acid-base balance, and waste excretion. It also covers renal function tests, urinalysis, acute and chronic renal failure, glomerular diseases including nephrotic syndrome and nephritic syndrome, and specific conditions like glomerulonephritis.
Osteoporosis
The document discusses osteoporosis, which is a reduction in bone mass and density. It describes the pathogenesis and types of osteoporosis. Risk factors include things like menopause, genetics, lifestyle, and certain medical conditions or medications. Bone density is measured using techniques like DEXA scans to diagnose osteoporosis. Management involves reducing risk factors, nutritional supplementation, exercise, and pharmacological therapies like bisphosphonates or parathyroid hormone. Spinal compression fractures can occur due to osteoporosis and present with back pain. Diagnosis involves imaging and treatment focuses on pain relief, bracing, or vertebroplasty.
Bile Duct Tumor
This document summarizes bile duct tumors, including risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment options. It notes that bile duct tumors are uncommon but serious, often small and difficult to detect on imaging. Evaluation involves blood tests, imaging like ultrasound, CT, MRI and cholangiography, and procedures like fine needle aspiration or ERCP with biopsy. Treatment may include surgery for curative or palliative purposes, chemotherapy, radiation, stenting, or supportive care. Prognosis is poor as most tumors are unresectable at presentation, with 5-year survival rates of 4-30% if resectable and anticipated survival of 6-12 months otherwise.
Appendicitis
Acute appendicitis is caused by inflammation of the appendix. Common symptoms include abdominal pain that starts around the belly button and moves to the lower right area, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, inability to pass gas, low fever, and abdominal swelling. Diagnosis involves symptoms, physical examination looking for rebound tenderness and guarding, blood tests, abdominal x-ray, ultrasound, and in some cases CT scan. Treatment is usually surgical removal of the appendix, either through open surgery or laparoscopically. Antibiotics may be given before or after surgery depending on whether the appendix has ruptured. People with compromised immune systems or other medical issues require special consideration.
Organ Transplant
Organ transplantation involves transferring a whole or partial organ from one body to another or from a donor site on the patient's own body. There are several types of transplants including autografts, allografts, isografts, and xenografts. Major organs that can be transplanted include the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. The history of organ transplantation began in the early 1900s with successful cornea transplants, though rejection was a major issue until immunosuppressive drugs were developed in the 1950s, allowing for successful kidney and liver transplants in later decades.
Thyroid Noudle
- Thyroid nodules are very common, found in 4-7% of people on physical exam and almost 50% on ultrasound, with most people having multiple nodules. Thyroid cancer is found in 5-10% of palpable nodules.
- Factors that increase cancer risk include nodule size over 3 cm, male sex, radiation exposure, family history of thyroid cancer, and symptoms of local invasion. Features suggesting benign nodules include a family history of autoimmune disease and benign nodules.
- Evaluation involves ultrasound, thyroid function tests, and fine needle aspiration of suspicious nodules, with surgery for nodules found to be malignant or indeterminate
Gastrointestional Stromal Tumors
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare non-epithelial tumors that arise from mesenchymal tissue in the GI tract. Approximately 50% occur in the stomach, and 25% in the small intestine. GISTs were previously thought to be of smooth muscle origin but are now known to express the protein C-kit. Malignant potential is determined by tumor size and mitotic rate, with larger tumors and higher mitotic rates indicating higher risk. Treatment involves complete surgical removal, while drug therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors can be used for inoperable or metastatic tumors.
Dhf
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is caused by dengue viruses of the Flavivirus family. There are four serotypes of the virus. The virus is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Aedes mosquitoes. Diagnosis involves identifying thrombocytopenia, hemoconcentration, and other clinical manifestations. Treatment depends on the clinical classification and involves supportive care, fluid management, and close monitoring, especially during the critical leakage phase when plasma is leaking from blood vessels.
