Goniometry is the measuring of angles created by the bones of the body at the joints.1, 2, 3
The term goniometry is derived from two Greek words, gonia meaning angle and metron, meaning measure. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
System to measure the joint ranges in each plane of the joint is termed goniometry. 4
These measurements are done with instrument such as goniometer, a tape measure, inclinometers or by visual estimate.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health
Exploring ways to reduce overall use of antimicrobials
Using the drugs that prevent and treat disease by killing microscopic organisms in a responsible way
GOAL
to prevent the generation and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Doing so will preserve the effectiveness of these drugs in animals and humans for years to come.
being to preserve human and animal health and the effectiveness of antimicrobial medications.
to implement a multidisciplinary approach in assembling a stewardship team to include an infectious disease physician, a clinical pharmacist with infectious diseases training, infection preventionist, and a close collaboration with the staff in the clinical microbiology laboratory

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council
Dr Natasha Azzopardi Muscat, Director, Country Health Policies and Systems Division, World Health Organisation EURO

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.

2. INTRODUCTION
Fluidotherapy is a dry heating
agent, that provides mechanical
as well as thermal stimuli to
produce therapeutic effect.
It is a superficial heating
modality.
3. TRANSMISSION OF HEAT
• Fluidotherapy transfers heat by CONVECTION method.
• Transference of heat to a body by the movement of air,
matter, or liquid around or past the body
• During heating or cooling by convection the thermal agent
is in motion, the kinetic energy of the molecules is
increased, they move farther apart and the part becomes
less dense.
• Consequently the part rises and the above dense part
descends to take its place.
4. EQUIPMENT
• Consists of a cabinet containing finely ground cellulose particles made
from corn cob.
• Heated air is made to be circulated through the particles, so that the
particles move like liquid.
• Allows high heating (higher than water and paraffin).
• It utilizes a stream of thermostatically controlled heated air flowing
over and through particles by an electric fan inside a lid covered steel
cabinet.
5. • This air stream creates air
pockets and bubbles to provide
a powerful massaging action
that transmits heat and tactile
stimulation to achieve many
physiological and therapeutic
benefits.
7. KEY EFFECTS
• Increases blood circulation and
assists in pain relief.
DRY HEAT
• Allows patients to freely perform
a variety of resistive exercises
with increased mobility and
decreased pain.
• The fluidized particles act like a
low viscosity fluid, allowing limbs
to be suspended much like in a
liquid state.
LIMB
BUOYANCY • The action provides warmth,
increased local circulation and
pain diminishing effect to help
increase joint range of motion.
Massaging
8. APPLICATION
The patients part if put inside the cabinet starts to float as if floating
inside water and gets heated.
As the system has very low viscosity, it allows exercise to be performed
inside the cabinet, like exercises performed inside warm water but the
part does not get wet.
Temperature range = 38 to 45 C.
Treatment time = 15 – 20 minutes.
9. PREPARATION
• The patient should be prepared in the same way like hot pack
application, i.e. the part is undressed, jewelry etc. is removed and skin
sensation for heat and cold is checked.
• If there is any open wound on the part to be treated, it should be
covered with a plastic sheet.
• The part to be treated is extended through the portal of the unit and
sleeve should be closed to prevent the particles from coming out.
10.
11. • Moreover the fluidotherapy
unit device is such that it
contains additional entry ports
to allow the therapist to enter
the cabinet and thus passive
movements of the distal
extremities can be performed
inside the device itself.
12. • The required temperature is maintained and the patient is told to
exercise the part inside the cabinet.
• After treatment is over the part is removed from the cabinet and the
skin is examined.
• A mild erythema is normal.
13. INDICATIONS
Treat distal extremities:
1. Decrease pain
2. Increase range of motion
3. Decrease swelling
4. Decrease spasm
5. Inflammation
6. Post – operative Rehabilitation
7. Sub – acute condition
8. Chronic condition
15. ADVANTAGES
1. Easy to use
2. Agitation can be controlled
3. Most body areas can be treated
4. Allows for some active exercise
5. Provides some dry and comfortable heat
6. Can be used for desensitization treatment
16. Disadvantages
• Expensive to purchase
• Some patients don’t like the closed in feeling
• Some patients are intolerant to the particles present inside
• May require the limb to be placed in dependent position
