There are four main types of arthritis: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, juvenile arthritis, and gouty arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that causes painful swelling in the joints and can damage bone and cartilage over time. It most commonly affects smaller joints and is more prevalent in women than men. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and occurs when cartilage between bones wears down, causing pain, stiffness, and loss of flexibility in the joints. While there is no cure for types of arthritis, treatment aims to reduce inflammation, maximize function, and prevent further joint damage through medications, therapy, surgery, and home care techniques.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage breakdown. It is the most common form of arthritis, often affecting the knees in 70% of people over age 60. Osteoarthritis can cause functional impairment and disability in older adults and is a leading cause of joint replacement surgery. Risk factors include age, obesity, genetics, and joint trauma. Treatment focuses on reducing pain and preserving function through lifestyle changes, physical therapy, braces, and medications like acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and opioids. Surgery is considered for severe, treatment-resistant cases.
This document provides an outline of common orthopaedic cases organized by body part, beginning with the shoulder and pectoral girdle and ending with the ankle and foot. For each body part, it lists various disorders, deformities, injuries, and diseases. The outline is based on Apley & Solomon's "Concise System of Orthopaedics and Trauma" textbook and is intended as personal notes.
This document provides guidance on evaluating and diagnosing a patient presenting with polyarthritis. It outlines an approach involving assessing the site and distribution of pain, type of pain, associated features, duration and onset, risk factors, physical signs, differential diagnosis, and investigations. Key tests include radiographs, bloodwork including ESR/CRP, synovial fluid analysis, and serologic tests. Common arthritic conditions discussed include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Osteoarthritis is a progressive degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown and eventual loss of articular cartilage in the joints. As cartilage breaks down, bones rub together causing pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joints. The most common joints affected are weight-bearing joints like the hips, knees, and spine. Risk factors include age, obesity, joint injury, genetics, and repetitive joint stress from certain occupations and sports. The breakdown of cartilage is caused by an imbalance between the normal synthesis and degradation of cartilage components by chondrocytes within the cartilage. This leads to loss of cartilage cushioning between bones and development of bone spurs and cysts at the joint margins over time.
This document provides guidance for primary care physicians on approaches to common joint pain conditions. It outlines objectives for understanding acute and chronic joint pain causes like septic arthritis, gout, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches are described for each condition. Key points emphasize focusing on general measures for osteoarthritis given its permanent structural changes, starting DMARDs early for rheumatoid arthritis to prevent deformities, limiting protein and alcohol for gout prevention, treating septic arthritis as a medical emergency with IV antibiotics, and promptly referring suspected bone cancer cases to higher centers.
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are chronic joint disorders. Osteoarthritis involves the progressive breakdown of articular cartilage in a joint. It is associated with aging and risk factors like obesity, joint injury, and genetics. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the joints, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. It can eventually damage cartilage and bone within joints and may affect other organs. Both diseases are diagnosed based on symptoms, physical exam, x-rays, and blood tests. Treatment focuses on reducing pain and inflammation, maintaining joint mobility, and may include medications, weight loss, or joint replacement surgery.
This document provides an overview of polyarthritis in pediatric patients. It defines polyarthritis as inflammation of 4 or more joints, and lists various potential causes including infections (viral, bacterial, parainfective), rheumatological conditions, systemic vasculitis, and other miscellaneous conditions. The document emphasizes the importance of a thorough history and physical exam in evaluating a case. It outlines key aspects of the history to obtain and exam findings to look for in order to differentiate between potential causes. A case example is presented and worked through to demonstrate this approach.

This document provides an overview of osteoarthritis, including its definition, classification, etiology, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Osteoarthritis is characterized by degenerative changes in the joints that cause pain, tenderness, and limited range of motion. It is classified as either primary, affecting weight-bearing joints, or secondary, occurring in injured joints. Risk factors include age, genetics, obesity, trauma, and certain occupations. Diagnosis involves tests, imaging, and ruling out other conditions. Treatment options discussed include medications, physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, and magneto therapy.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease. It is a non-inflammatory disorder affecting synovial joints that results from cartilage damage within the joints. Over time, the damaged cartilage leads to thinning of cartilage and bone growths around the joint margins. This causes pain, stiffness, and deformity of the joints. The most commonly affected joints are those in the hands, hips, knees, and lower back. Symptoms include joint pain that worsens with use and is relieved by rest, crepitus, and morning stiffness.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease worldwide, typically affecting older individuals over 70 years of age. It results from mechanical and biochemical insults that exceed the joint's ability to repair itself. The disease causes the breakdown of cartilage in joints like the hips, knees, spine, hands and feet. Key pathological features include the loss of articular cartilage and sclerosis of underlying bone. Risk factors include age, genetics, obesity, previous injury and occupational factors. Symptoms include pain, stiffness and reduced mobility. Management involves symptomatic therapies like exercise, weight loss and braces as well as surgical options like joint replacement for severe cases.
This document provides guidance on approaching a case of arthritis by discussing the history, signs, symptoms, patterns, screening tests, and types of arthritis.

It defines each type, describes their causes, risk factors, symptoms, diagnostic measures, and treatment options. Osteoarthritis is the most common type and involves the breakdown of cartilage in joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease causing inflammation of the lining of joints. Gout is caused by uric acid crystals depositing in joints due to high uric acid levels. Nursing interventions focus on managing symptoms, medication administration, education, and lifestyle changes.
This document provides an overview of musculoskeletal disorders, focusing on arthritis. It defines arthritis as inflammation of one or more joints. The three most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gouty arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a non-inflammatory degenerative joint condition characterized by cartilage breakdown and new bone growth. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disorder causing symmetrical polyarthritis. Gouty arthritis results from uric acid crystal deposition in joints and tissues. The document discusses the causes, symptoms, investigations, and management of these three arthritis types.
This document provides information on different types of arthritis. It begins by defining arthritis as joint inflammation and pain that limits movement. The three most common types are then described as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. Osteoarthritis is defined as a "wear and tear" type of arthritis that affects cartilage and bone in the joints. Risk factors, symptoms, and treatments are outlined. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes swelling in multiple joints on both sides of the body. Gout involves uric acid crystal buildup in a joint causing sudden severe pain. Diagnosis and management of each type is briefly discussed.
Spondyloarthritis refers to a group of inflammatory diseases affecting the spine and joints. Key characteristics include inflammatory back pain, enthesitis, and extra-articular manifestations like psoriasis and uveitis. Ankylosing spondylitis is the prototype spondyloarthritis, typically causing inflammation in the sacroiliac joints and spine that leads to bony fusion over time. Psoriatic arthritis is another common subtype associated with psoriasis. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and preventing joint damage and deformity.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes stiffness, swelling, and pain in the joints. It is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, causing a inflammatory reaction in the synovial membranes surrounding the joints. It most commonly affects the hands, feet and wrists. Risk factors include female gender and genetic factors. Symptoms include symmetric joint pain and stiffness that typically affects the same joints on both sides of the body. Management involves medications to reduce inflammation and prevent joint damage, exercise and physical therapy to maintain joint mobility, and surgery in severe cases.
This document discusses arthritis and related diseases. It defines arthritis as inflammation of a joint and describes its main causes and types. Rheumatoid arthritis is discussed in detail, including its pathology, clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and treatments. Ankylosing spondylitis and osteoarthritis are also summarized. The document provides overviews of the classifications, presentations, investigations, and management approaches for different forms of arthritis.
The document discusses the approach to diagnosing arthritis. It covers the main pathophysiologic types of joint disease including synovitis, enthesitis, crystal deposition, infection, and structural/mechanical derangements. For each type, it describes the characteristic pathologic features. In evaluating a patient's joint pain, the history and physical exam aim to differentiate inflammatory from noninflammatory arthritis and determine the specific pathophysiologic process involved based on features like onset, duration, distribution and symmetry of joint involvement, and extra-articular manifestations. Signs on physical exam of inflammatory arthritis include swelling, pain with motion, erythema, warmth, and limited range of motion.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by breakdown of cartilage and bone changes. It most commonly affects weight-bearing joints like the hips and knees. Risk factors include obesity, joint injury, genetics, and age. Symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion. Diagnosis is made based on clinical features and confirmed with x-rays showing cartilage loss, bone spurs, and bone changes. Treatment focuses on education, exercises, braces, medications, and sometimes surgery to relieve symptoms and improve function.
This document provides information on types of arthritis, signs and symptoms, treatment, and specific types like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It discusses normal joint structure, causes of osteoarthritis related to disparity between stress on cartilage and cartilage strength. Radiographic features and treatment options for osteoarthritis are outlined. Rheumatoid arthritis signs on imaging and physical exam are also summarized. Treatment of arthritis focuses on reducing inflammation and pain through medications like NSAIDs, DMARDs, steroids, and biologics that target proteins like TNF.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of arthritis that causes inflammation of the spine and sacroiliac joints. It is characterized by pain and stiffness in the lower back and hips that worsens over time. The signs and symptoms often appear gradually between ages 20-30 and can include lower back pain and stiffness, pain in the hips or shoulders, and limited mobility in the spine. While the exact cause is unknown, genetics and environmental factors likely play a role. Diagnosis involves x-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to detect inflammation and damage to affected joints. There is no cure for AS, but treatments can help reduce symptoms, including medications, surgery, and physical therapy.
This document provides an overview of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of joint pain. It discusses the various causes of joint pain including inflammation, cartilage degeneration, crystal deposition, infection, and trauma. The document outlines the approach to evaluating a patient with joint pain, including obtaining a thorough history regarding symptoms, physical examination of the joints, and initial laboratory tests. Common differential diagnoses are also reviewed depending on characteristics such as number of involved joints, symmetry, and distribution of pain.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. It can affect people of all ages but typically occurs between ages 35-50 and affects women more than men. RA causes inflammation of the synovial membranes around joints which can lead to pain, stiffness, swelling, and over time, destruction of cartilage and bone. While the exact cause is unknown, genetic and environmental factors are believed to play a role. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and preventing further joint damage through medications and physical therapy.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the synovial joints. It affects all ethnic groups and can occur at any time in life, though incidence increases with age and it is more common in women. While the specific cause is unknown, it is believed to involve an abnormal immune response triggered by an antigen that leads to the formation of autoantibodies and immune complexes that damage joints. Long-term inflammation and damage to joints can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and deformities like subluxation. It may also affect other body systems.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints, typically affecting the small joints in the hands and feet. It results in warm, swollen, and painful joints and symptoms often worsen with rest. While the cause is unknown, it involves the immune system attacking the synovium lining of joints, causing swelling and damage over time. Diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms, physical exam findings, and blood tests for rheumatoid factor or anti-CCP antibodies. Complications can include joint deformity and damage, as well as increased risk of osteoporosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, heart and lung problems.
D Firas Joint Imaging-1 (Muhadharaty).pptxhussainAltaher
Dr. Firas Abdullah's document discusses various types of joint diseases and their radiological signs. It begins by outlining the aims of discussing joint imaging and diagnosing different types of arthritis. Examples of plain film signs of joint disease are provided, such as joint space narrowing and erosions. Common types of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gouty arthritis are then described in detail through their clinical and radiological features. Other joint pathologies such as infection, avascular necrosis, and developmental dysplasia of the hip are also summarized.
Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints that can be caused by infection, trauma, or other causes. The main types discussed are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, gout, and psoriatic arthritis. Common signs include pain, stiffness, and limited movement of the affected joints. Management focuses on relieving pain and modifying the immune system. Complications can include permanent joint deformity, fistula formation, and development of nodules.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints, causing swelling and stiffness, eventually resulting in deterioration of bone and cartilage. It is caused by an autoimmune response and is characterized by symmetric inflammation of multiple small joints of the hands and feet. Symptoms progress from early inflammation to joint destruction and deformity if left untreated.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

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.

2. WHAT IS ARTHRITIS???
• ARTHRITIS-Arthritis is an inflammation of the joint,
characterized by pain swelling and limitation of
movement.
• RHEUMATIC ARTHRITIS-As per the American
Rheumatism Society, rheumatic arthritis is a chronic
non-suppurative inflammation of the synovial joints.
• JUVENILE ARTHRITIS: It is an auto-immune disorder
with inflammation of the synovium in children aged
16 or younger.
3. TYPES OF JRA
• Polyarticular JA affects five or more joints and:
• affects girls more frequently than boys
• most commonly affects knees, wrists and ankles
• can affect weight-bearing and other joints, including hips, neck, shoulders and jaw
• often affects the same joint on both sides of the body
• Pauciarticular JA affects four or fewer joints and:
• usually affects the large joints: knees, ankles or wrists
• often affects a joint on one side of the body only, particularly the knee
• may cause eye inflammation (uveitis) which is seen most frequently in young girls
with positive anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA)
• Systemic Onset JA can:
• affect boys and girls equally
• ocause high, spiking fevers of 103 degrees or higher, lasting for weeks or even
months
• cause a rash consisting of pale, red spots on the child’s chest, thighs and
sometimes other parts of the body
• cause arthritis in the small joints of the hands, wrists, knees and ankles
4. OTHER TYPES
• Juvenile Spondyloarthropies (ankylosing spondylitis, seronegative
enthesopathy and arthropathy syndrome) are a group of diseases
that involve the spine and joints of the lower extremities, most
commonly the hips and knees.
• Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis is a type of arthritis affecting both girls
and boys that occurs in association with the skin condition
psoriasis.Distal interphalangeal joint is usually involved.
• Juvenile Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory disease that causes
muscle weakness and a characteristic skin rash on the eyelids.
• Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease
associated with skin rashes, arthritis, pleurisy, kidney disease and
neurologic movement.Joint involvement is not symmetrical.
• Juvenile Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels and can be
both a primary childhood disease and a feature of other syndromes,
including dermatomyositis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
5. CAUSES
• Idiopathic
• not contagious and there is no evidence that
foods, toxins, allergies or vitamin deficiencies
play a role.
• May be due to Genetics or environmental
triggers
6. PATHOGENESIS
Synovium becomes oedematous and is filled with fibrin exudates
and cellular infiltrates
Synovium becomes hyperthrophied and surrounds the articular
cartilage to form a pannus.
Pannus extends from the cartilage into the subchondral bone
With progression cartilage becomes worn off and joint gets
deformed
Development of adhesions leading to fibrous ankylosis and later
bony ankylosis.
7. STAGES OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
1. Potentially reversible soft tissue
proliferations(synovial hypertrophy present ,no
changes in the xray)
2. Controllable but irreversible soft tissue
destruction(xray shows reduction in joint space
but outline of the articular cartilage is
maintained)
3. Irreversible soft tissue and bony changes(bones
become ankylosed.May lead to subluxation or
deformation.
8. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
• Pain, swelling, tenderness and stiffness of joints,
causing limited range of motion
• Joint contracture, which results from holding a
painful joint in a flexed position for an extended
period
• Limping
• Persistent fever,weight loss,fatigue
• Damage to joint cartilage and bone leading to joint
deformity and impaired use of the joint
• Altered growth of bone and joints leading to short
stature
