The most prevalent kind of arthritis is osteoarthritis, also known as a degenerative joint disease (DJD). As people get older, they are more prone to acquire osteoarthritis. Changes in osteoarthritis often develop gradually over several years, with few exceptions. Dr. David Greene Arizona discusses osteoarthritis in this presentation.
There are more than 100 kinds of arthritis, which literally means joint inflammation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 50 million Americans are afflicted, and 27 million have osteoarthritis, by far the most common form, especially among older people.
Overuse, injuries and arthritis are usually the culprits that cause knee pain. Home care can often give relief, but severe cases need a providers attention.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

3. Introduction
Osteoarthritis is a common condition that affects joints, including the feet, shoulder, hips, knees, and hands.
A robust, smooth, slippery
coat covers the bone surface called cartilage. This cartilage coating helps your bones to move freely against
each other.
If a part of the cartilage becomes thin and the bone surface becomes rougher, the bones will not move freely.
And this is the so-called wear and tear of the joint. The knee, hip and small joints of the hands are more prone
to develop osteoarthritis because of more frequent weight-bearing and repetitive movement.
Presentation title 3
5. There are four stages of osteoarthritis, and the symptoms and signs.
Presentation title 5
• Stage 1: Minor
Little to no pain
Minor wear-and-tear of the joint
• Stage 2: Mild
Stiffness sensation if you remain sedentary for a while
You may require a brace
Noticeable bone spur
6. There are four stages of osteoarthritis, and the symptoms and signs.
Presentation title 6
• Stage 3: Moderate
Joint inflammation and discomfort while doing everyday activities
Cartilage in the affected area starts getting worn
• Stage 4: Sever
Overgrown spur formation in the affected joint
Severe pain and swelling
Joint inflammation followed by the complete worn-out cartilage
8. What happens if the cartilage becomes thin?
Presentation title 8
• Once the cartilage is damaged, the tissues within the joint work actively to repair the damage. This repair
process may even change the joint structure.
• In this process, you may get joint pain, swelling, difficulty in joint movement, and stiffness.
• Or else, there will be an additional bone development at the edge of your joint called osteophytes.
• These outgrowths will restrict your movement by rubbing against the surrounding tissues.
• Furthermore, the synovium (joint capsule lining) may also thicken and secrete more fluid. This secretion will
swell up the joint region.
• Since joint regions cannot move freely, they may develop cracking or grating sounds. The joint structure will
become less stable, followed by the weakening of the muscles.
• Usually, most of us develop osteoarthritis as we grow older, even if we are unaware of it. The degree of joint
damage can determine the severity of pain and mobility issues.
9. What exactly causes osteoarthritis?
• One of the most common causes of osteoarthritis is ‘wear and tear’. However, the risk of developing osteoarthritis depends on the following
factors:
•
Gender: Osteoarthritis is more severe and frequent in females compared to males.
• Age: Osteoarthritis more commonly develops in the late 40s. The body changes include weak muscles, reduced ability to heal itself, and weight
gain are the primary reasons as we age.
• Obesity: Obesity is a major risk factor, especially when it comes to weight-bearing joints like the hip and knee.
• Joint Injury and Abnormalities: Repetitive activities can increase the risk of joint injuries that may lead to osteoarthritis. Other joint abnormalities
such as gout and rheumatoid arthritis can cause osteoarthritis.
• Heredity: Mutation of genes that affect a collagen protein may cause osteoarthritis at an earlier age.
• Weather Condition: The changes in weather conditions, especially the fall in atmospheric pressure, can worsen osteoarthritis’s pain and other
symptoms. However, weather changes are not the cause of arthritis symptoms, but the cold weather can undoubtedly worsen the symptoms.
Presentation title 9
10. Is it possible to diagnose osteoarthritis?
• Yes. It is obligatory to diagnose accurately before proceeding with osteoarthritis treatment.
• Symptoms – the starting point and the severity level of these symptoms
• Physical examination
• Restricted movement
• Joint tenderness
• Swelling of bones
• Weakness of muscles surrounding the affected joint
• Joint instability
• Grating or creaking sensation of the joint region called crepitus
• X-ray examination to determine if there is any calcium deposit in the joint region
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) examination can determine the possible bone or joint problems that may
trigger the above-listed symptoms
Presentation title 10
11. What are the target points affected by
osteoarthritis?
• All joints may develop osteoarthritis. However, osteoarthritis mainly affects the knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, spine, wrist, thumb, foot, ankle, neck,
back, jaw (temporomandibular joint), and big toes.
Presentation title 11
12. Is it possible to treat osteoarthritis?
Presentation title 12
• Yes. It is obligatory to diagnose accurately before proceeding with osteoarthritis treatment.
• The diagnosis of this condition is based on the following:
• Symptoms – the starting point and the severity level of these symptoms
• Physical examination
• Restricted movement
• Joint tenderness
• Swelling of bones
13. Is it possible to treat osteoarthritis?
Presentation title 13
• Weakness of muscles surrounding the affected joint
• Joint instability
• Grating or creaking sensation of the joint region called crepitus
• X-ray examination to determine if there is any calcium deposit in the joint region
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) examination can determine the possible bone or joint problems that may
trigger the above-listed symptoms
14. Is it possible to treat osteoarthritis?
Presentation title 14
• Yes. The list of treatment methods that can manage your osteoarthritis symptoms includes the following:
• Initial home treatment – RICE formula: RICE represents Rest, Ice application, Compression, and Elevation. Take enough rest.
Apply ice cubes to the affected region by wrapping them in a cloth. Wear compression bands to restrict the movement of
the affected joint region. While taking a rest, keep the affected joint in an elevated position above your chest.
• Activity modification: Try to modify the routine activities until you find relief from arthritis symptoms. For instance, if you
are a runner, stop running till your pain subsides. However, keep walking instead of running to maintain an active life.
• Physical therapy: Physical therapeutic exercises, including strengthening exercises, range of movement exercises,
hydrotherapy, and aerobic exercises, can relieve osteoarthritis symptoms. Even cycling, walking, and swimming can help
people get relief from pain.
15. Is it possible to treat osteoarthritis?
Presentation title 15
• NSAIDs: Administration of NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can reduce pain, swelling, and
inflammation. However, physicians do not recommend them for long due to their significant side effects.
• Corticosteroid injections: Physicians recommend corticosteroid injections in case medications don’t work.
However, repeated steroids can weaken the tendon around the affected joint region, making it more painful.
• Regenerative treatment: A natural and minimally invasive non-surgical orthobiologic treatment that kick starts
the healing process by treating the underlying cause as well as symptoms of osteoarthritis.
• Surgery: Physicians recommend surgery as the last option to treat osteoarthritis. The varied surgical options include:
• Joint replacement surgery
• Arthroscopic keyhole surgery to wash out loose bone fragments from the affected joint region
• Joint fusion – The joints are fixed together to prevent further movement.
16. How can Regenerative Medicine help in
osteoarthritis treatment?
Presentation title 16
• Regenerative medicine includes natural cellular treatments like PRP Therapy, Stem Cell Treatment,
regenerative therapy, Goldic Treatment and others.
• Unlike the conventional treatment methods, regenerative medicine treats the underlying cause of the
symptoms. And by healing, the underlying cause can treat your symptoms as well.
• It is a revolutionary method where physicians use patients’ body cells for treatment. Hence, you do not
undergo any significant side effects like allergy or rejection problems. Unlike other conventional treatment
methods, this long-lasting, minimally invasive, a
17. Time to take care of yourself
Presentation title 17
• Living with osteoarthritis can affect a person emotionally and mentally. The continuous pain disturbs the
sleep routine, and eventually, it will affect the person’s mood. And finally, the osteoarthritis pain will get on
top of you.
• If you feel low or are currently undergoing any such underlying symptoms or joint pain, contact Medica
Stem Cells Clinic. Our medical team of orthopaedic surgeons and doctors is here to listen to your concerns
and offer a suitable solution without any delays.
• Earlier is better! Regenerative treatment intervention is likely to be more effective when it is provided in
the earlier stages of osteoarthritis rather than later. Don’t wait until the pain becomes unbearable. Get it
treated as soon as you notice changes or pain in your joint. So, reach out to us as soon as possible to enjoy
a long-lasting pain-free life.
