FRACTURES AND DISLOCATION MANAGEMENT.pptxAntwiBrainard
The document discusses fractures, dislocations, and their treatment. It defines fractures and describes different types including closed/open, pathological, and stress fractures. Signs and symptoms of fractures and dislocations are outlined. The principles of diagnosing and treating fractures are described, including reduction, splinting, and casting. Factors that influence fracture healing are also mentioned.
Dislocations and subluxations involve the displacement of joint surfaces. A dislocation is a complete displacement where all contact is lost, while a subluxation is a partial displacement where some contact is retained. Key factors that can cause dislocations are the shape and stability of the joint, surrounding ligaments and muscles. Dislocations are classified based on cause (traumatic vs pathological), direction of displacement, and presence of fractures. Treatment involves closed or open reduction depending on the severity of the injury. Complications can include neurovascular injuries, recurrent dislocations, fractures, stiffness and osteoarthritis.
This document provides an overview of fractures including definition, causes, risk factors, descriptions, clinical features, investigations, and management. It defines a fracture as a disruption of bone continuity. Common causes are high-energy trauma from accidents or falls from height. Management involves assessing circulation and nerves, splinting, reducing displaced fractures, and immobilizing using casts or fixation. Open fractures require urgent debridement and antibiotics due to high risk of infection. Complications can include non-union, mal-union, and infection if not properly treated.
The document discusses brachial plexus injuries, which involve damage to the network of nerves that control the arm and hand. It describes the anatomy of the brachial plexus and the mechanisms, classifications, signs and symptoms, investigations, and management of both adult and obstetric brachial plexus injuries.

This document summarizes knee disorders including patellar instability, lateral patellar compression syndrome, idiopathic chondromalacia patellae, quadriceps tendon rupture, and patella tendon tendinitis. It describes the causes, clinical presentations, physical exam findings, and treatment options for each condition. Quadriceps tendon rupture most often occurs in patients over 40 years old and is usually caused by an eccentric contraction of the quadriceps muscle with the foot planted and knee partially flexed. Physical exam may reveal swelling, ecchymosis, and a palpable defect in the suprapatellar region.
Dislocations involve the complete loss of congruency between articulating joint surfaces. The document discusses the definition, types, clinical presentation, treatment, and complications of dislocations for several major joints including the shoulder, elbow, and hip. Key points include that shoulder dislocations are most common, usually anterior, and require closed reduction. Hip dislocations also typically require closed reduction and splinting, and can cause neurovascular injury or avascular necrosis if not reduced promptly. Elbow dislocations commonly involve the posterior joint and may be associated with fractures.
1. The level of amputation is selected based on factors like viability of tissues, risk of infection, and suitability for prosthesis use.
2. Lower extremity amputations are generally classified based on the level - such as transfemoral (above knee), transtibial (below knee), knee disarticulation.
3. The goal is to amputate at the lowest possible level to allow for maximum function with a prosthesis. Higher levels of amputation are associated with greater challenges to rehabilitation.
This document discusses common musculoskeletal problems seen in the community, including knee, shoulder, ankle and foot issues. It provides details on the causes, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment approaches for various conditions like patellofemoral pain syndrome, shoulder instability, adhesive capsulitis, rotator cuff tears, ankle sprains and plantar fasciitis. Special investigations like MRI and treatment methods such as injections, physiotherapy, manipulation and surgery are touched upon.
This document provides information on lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), including its anatomy, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. It describes how lateral epicondylitis is an overuse injury caused by repetitive microtrauma to the common extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle. The diagnosis is typically made based on physical examination findings of tenderness over the lateral epicondyle with resisted wrist and finger extension. Both non-operative treatments like physiotherapy, bracing, and steroid injections and surgical options are discussed for managing lateral epicondylitis.
The document discusses shoulder dislocation, including the anatomy of the shoulder joint, causes of dislocation, signs and symptoms, types of dislocation, treatment options like closed reduction and surgery, rehabilitation, and complications. The most common type of dislocation is anterior dislocation, which can occur due to falls or impacts and results in the humeral head moving out of the glenoid socket in the front of the shoulder. Treatment depends on the severity of the dislocation and any associated injuries.
The document discusses various types of upper limb injuries including brachial plexus lesions, shoulder dislocations, and impingement syndromes. Brachial plexus lesions can occur from trauma or difficult births and may cause Erb's palsy (C5/6 paralysis) or Klumpke's palsy (C7-T1 paralysis). Shoulder dislocations are most commonly anterior and can damage the axillary nerve. Impingement syndromes involve entrapment of soft tissues in the subacromial space and cause shoulder pain, especially with overhead motions.
Shoulder injuries and instability can have various causes. There are three main types of shoulder instability: 1) traumatic structural instability due to major trauma or microtrauma, 2) atraumatic structural instability from repetitive overuse, and 3) atraumatic non-structural instability resulting from abnormal muscle recruitment. Common injuries include anterior dislocation, which can cause Bankart lesions and Hill-Sachs defects. Treatment depends on the type and severity but may involve immobilization, physical therapy to strengthen muscles, or surgery such as Bankart repair to reconstruct damaged tissues.
- A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between bones, muscles, and ligaments near joints. Injury to a bursa can cause pain, limited motion, and decreased mobility.
- The cervical vertebrae are the smallest and most movable part of the spine. Injuries can occur from direct or indirect trauma and include fractures, dislocations, and ligament injuries.
- Treatment depends on the injury but may include immobilization, traction, steroids, and surgery to stabilize or fuse the spine to preserve neurological function and spinal stability.
This document outlines the principles of fracture management. It discusses fracture classification, diagnosis, treatment principles including emergency care, definitive treatment methods like casting, internal and external fixation, and rehabilitation. Management depends on factors like fracture type, soft tissue injury, and patient condition. The goals are to obtain fracture union in an anatomical position to allow maximal function.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

After getting it read you will definitely understand the topic.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

–swollen knee held in flexion and no obvious
lateral prominence
–often associated with haemarthrosis
(bleeding into joint spaces)
16. Clinical features cont..
• Hip dislocation:
–Posterior hip dislocation is with the hip in a
position of flexion, internal rotation, and
adduction
–Anterior hip dislocations, the hip is
classically held in external rotation, with
mild flexion and abduction.
18. Investigations
• X-ray of the affected part should include
anterior posterior and lateral views and
sometimes special views needed.
• CT Scan
• MRI
19. Principles of management
• Is an Emergency
• It should be reduced in less than 24 hours or
there may be Avascular Necrosis and joint
stiffness
• Following reduction the limb should be
immobilized for several weeks.
20. Principles of management cont..
• Close reduction with intravenous analgesia and
sedation or under GA should be attempted first
for most uncomplicated dislocation.
• Open reduction is rarely necessary for acute
dislocation.
21. Reduction techniques
• Hippocrates Method ( A form of anesthesia or
pain abolishing is required )
• Stimpson’s technique ( some sedation and
analgesia are used but No anesthesia is required )
• Kocher’s technique is the method used in
hospitals under general anesthesia and muscle
relaxation
NOTE
• No single best technique
26. Key points
• It is an orthopedic emergency.
• Reduction should be quick and prompt.
• Reduction should always be under G/A or
sedation.
• Swelling is less in compared to fractures.
• Movements are more restricted than in
fractures
27. Key points cont..
• Closed reduction is sufficient in most of the
times.
• Open reduction is restored to if specifically
indicated.
• Reduction techniques should always be very
gentle.
• Pain will not subside by splinting unlike
fractures
28. Review questions
1. What is dislocation?
2. Mention are the causes of dislocations?
3. Describe the complications of dislocations.
