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
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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!

1. Fracture Proximal Humerus
K-Wire Fixation And External
Fixation.
JAYANT SHARMA
M.S., DNB.,MNAMS.
Web :www.drjayantsharma@gmail.com
2. Fracture Proximal Humerus
• 4-5% of all cases.
• Third most common
beyond 65 years age.
• Aim of management is
Early Mobilization.
3. Classification
• A) A.O. Classification:
Based on severity of injury
and AVN
• 1. Type A: No vascular
isolation of articular
segment is detected.
• 2. Type B: Partial vascular
isolation of articular
segment
• 3. Type C: Total vascular
isolation of articular
segment
4. • Codman noted that
the fractures follow
Epiphyseal Plates.
Four possible sites
are Lesser tuberosity,
Greater tuberosity,
head and Shaft.
5. • Management of these fractures continues to
be a controversial subject.
• Various options are:
• Non operative.
• ORIF.
• External fixation.
• Tension band fixation.
• Arthroplasty
6. Disadvantages Of Various Methods
• A. Non Operative:
• Failure to obtain early mobilization which
results in:
• Higher rate of Shoulder Stiffness
• Pain and
• Malunion.
7. • B. Internal fixation:
• Difficulty in achieving
rigid fixation in cancellous
bone
• As cortical bone is very
thin shell and weak
purchase of screw results
in pull out.
• Intra op bleeding.
• Increased Risk of AVN.
• Adhesions post
operatively, reduce ROM
due to excessive
dissection. Normal head thickness 19mm
8.
9.
10. Disadvantage of Arthroplasty
• Stiffness
• Scarring
• Hardware problems
• Tuberosity malposition
• Functional score are same as Ex. Fix (Norris
et.al.1995). Only 53% had ability to use arm above
shoulder.
11. Advantages of Minimally Invasive
Techniques And External fixator
• Avoids dissection of Deltoid, Rotator Cuff and
biceps due to use of small pin diameter.
• Lower incidence of AVN(Ascending branch of
Anterior circumflex Humeral artery is not
disturbed).
• Minimal blood loss.
• Less scarring of scapulo humeral interface.
12. • Eliminates another Surgery for Hardware
removal.
• Faster rehabilitation.
• Effective in polytrauma, as can be done in
Supine position.
• Some authors have reported good to
excellent results in Osteoporotic fractures
13. • Resch H et.al, JBJS (Br) 1997,
• In 3 or 4 part fracture 90 % good to excellent
results.
• AVN incidence was 1%
• Chen CY, Journal of Trauma 1998,
• 2 or 3 part fracture showed 85%good results .
• Calvo et.al Journal of Shoulder and Elbow2007,
• Excellent to good results in 2 and 4 part fractures
was 85% with percutaneous pinning and external
fixation, with early mobilization.
• AVN incidence was 2%.
14. Complications
• 1. Non union
• 2. Superficial infection
• 3. Deep infection
• 4. Bicipital tendinitis
• 5 Reflex sympathetic dystrophy
• 6. Loss of reduction.
15. IMPORTANT RED FLAG.
• Circumflex humeral
artery branch of
Axillary artery.
• This proximal branch
runs through the
Bicipital groove.
16. Operative Steps.
• GA/ Brachial block
• Supine position with a sand bag to
elevate shoulder.
• Structures at risk:
• a. Axillary nerve
• b. Posterior humeral circumflex artery
• c. Anterior branch of Axillary Artery.
• d. Cephalic vein.
• e. Biceps tendon.
• f. Musculocutaneous nerve.
17.
18. Operative contd...
• 2.5mm Schanz pins/ K
wire at humeral head at
300 to each other in
horizontal plane.
• 1st: In true lateral/
coronal plane
2nd: just lateral to
bicipital groove
3rd: 300 posterior to 1st
one.
19. A displacement of Greater tuberosity superiorly
may cause Impingement.
A displacement posteriorly can cause External
rotation is blocked.
20. • Next 2.5mm pin inserted in
coronal plane in line with 1st
pin, approximately 4cm or 3
finger/ below the 1st pin in
upper third of Humerus.
• 3rd pin placed 2cm below the
above pin laterally.
• Wires are placed from lateral
cortex to medial cortex into
the head upto the
subchondral area
23. • A wire can be placed
from the head to bring
down the head as near
to the shaft.
24. Joshi’s External Stabilizing System
• Assembly consists of :
• 1. A simple light modular mini fixator
• 2. Invented by Dr. B. B. Joshi
• 3. Has high safety profile
• 4. Ease of application
25. Joshi’s External Stabilizing System.
• Has an advantage of:
• Fixed angle stability.
• Provides stability even in osteoporotic fractures.
• Early results are encouraging.
• No comparison with plating and
hemiarthroplasty available.
26. COMPONENTS
• A) Link joints:
• 1. Basic clamping unit of
JESS
• 2. Cross holes at different
levels
• 3. One is oval other is
round and perpendicular to
oval hole
• B) Connecting rods:
• Diameter vary from 2-4mm
• Available in various lengths
27.
28.
29.
30. Post op
• Pouch arm sling is applied.
• Pain free ROM, ASAP.
• Pins cleaned with Povidone iodine.
• Patient follow up for 2,4,6 and 8 weeks.
• Removal at 6 or 8 week.
• Then for bimonthly till 1 year.
36. Nabeil Ebraham’s Technique
• 4 Step technique
• 2 pins of 2.5 mm inserted in Shaft.
• 2 pins of 2.5 mm in Head.
• Head is externally rotated to place Greater
tuberosity pin, avoids Axillary nerve, Posterior
circumflex humeral artery.
• Pins are used as joystick to reduce the
fragments external fixator then applied.
• Additional anterior pins are added for stability.
42. Take Home Message
• Early mobilization and ease of fixation is an
advantage with External fixation devices.
• Elderly Patients and osteoporotic fractures
are well managed with Ex. Fix.
• Avoids need of redo surgery.
• Less expertise needed, Surgeon and Patient
friendly procedure.
44. Constant Scoring System
• Four variables that are used to assess the function of
the shoulder.
• The subjective variables are
• Pain
• Activities of daily living (ADL) (sleep, work,
recreation/sport), which give a total of 35 points
(pain: 15, ADL: 20).
• The objective variables are
• Range of motion
• Strength, which give a total of 65 points (range of
motion: 40, strength: 25
45. • Altogether there are 100 points.
• Constant Score divides the outcome of
patients into four categories, i.e.
• Excellent having a score >85,
• Good having a score between 71 and 85,
• Fair having a score between 61 and 70,
• Poor outcome with a score of 60 or less.
