A fracture is a broken bone that will heal whether or not a physician resets the bone. There are different types of fractures named according to their severity and location. The healing process of a fracture involves formation of a fracture hematoma, development of a fibrocartilaginous callus, formation of a bony callus, and remodeling of the bone. Stress fractures are microscopic cracks in the bone that result from repeated strenuous activity and can be detected using a bone scan.

BONE – AN INTRODUCTION
A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the vertebrate skeleton.
There are around 270 to 300+ bones in Infants which gets reduced to 206 bones in adults.
Bones are dynamic structures that are undergoing constant change and remodelling in
response to the ever-changing environment.
Bones support and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells,
store minerals, provide structure and support for the body, and enable mobility.
It has a honeycomb-like matrix internally, which helps to give the bone rigidity.
The largest bone in the body is the femur or thigh-bone, and the smallest is the stapes in
the middle ear.

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!

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
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.

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.

2. • A fracture is a broken bone.
• It will heal whether or not a physician resets it in its
anatomical position.
• If the bone is not reset correctly, the healing process
will keep the bone in its deformed position.
• Fractures are named according to their severity, the
shape or position of the fracture line, or even the
physician who first described them.
1. Closed reduction: when a broken bone is
manipulated and set into its natural position
without surgery.
2. Open reduction: requires surgery to expose the
fracture and reset the bone.
3. • While some fractures can be minor, others are
quite severe and result in grave complications.
• For example, a fractured diaphysis of the
femur has the potential to release fat globules
into the bloodstream.
• These can become lodged in the capillary beds
of the lungs, leading to respiratory distress
and if not treated quickly, death.
4. Stress fracture:
• is a series of microscopic fissures in bone that forms
without any evidence of injury to other tissues.
• In healthy adults, stress fractures result from
repeated, strenuous activities such as running,
jumping, or aerobic dancing.
• Stress fractures are quite painful and also result
from disease processes that disrupt normal bone
calcification, such as osteoporosis.
• About 25% of stress fractures involve the tibia.
• Although standard x-ray images often fail to reveal
the presence of stress fractures, they show up
clearly in a bone scan.
5. • Fractures are classified by their complexity,
location, and other features.
• Some fractures may be described using more
than one term because it may have the
features of more than one type (e.g., an open
transverse fracture).
9. The repair of a bone fracture involves
the following steps:
1. Formation of fracture hematoma.
2. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation.
3. Bony callus formation.
4. Bone remodeling.
10. 1- Formation of fracture hematoma:
• Blood vessels crossing the fracture line are broken.
• As blood leaks from the torn ends of the vessels, a mass of
blood (usually clotted) forms around the site of the fracture.
• This mass of blood, called a fracture hematoma, usually forms
6 to 8 hours after the injury.
• Because the circulation of blood stops at the site where the
fracture hematoma forms, nearby bone cells die.
• Swelling and inflammation occur in response to dead bone
cells, producing additional cellular debris.
• Phagocytes (neutrophils and macrophages) and osteoclasts
begin to remove the dead or damaged tissue in and around the
fracture hematoma.
• This stage may last up to several weeks.
11.
12. 2- Fibrocartilaginous callus formation:
• Fibroblasts from the periosteum invade the fracture
site and produce collagen fibers.
• In addition, cells from the periosteum develop into
chondroblasts and begin to produce fibrocartilage
in this region.
• These events lead to the development of a
fibrocartilaginous (soft) callus: a mass of repair
tissue consisting of collagen fibers and cartilage that
bridges the broken ends of the bone.
• Formation of the fibrocartilaginous callus takes
about 3 weeks.
13.
14. 3- Bony callus formation:
• In areas closer to well-vascularized healthy bone
tissue, osteogenic cells develop into osteoblasts,
which begin to produce spongy bone trabeculae.
• The trabeculae join living and dead portions of
the original bone fragments.
• In time, the fibrocartilage is converted to spongy
bone, and the callus is then referred to as a bony
(hard) callus.
• The bony callus lasts about 3 to 4 months.
15.
16. 4- Bone remodeling:
• Dead portions of the original fragments of
broken bone are gradually resorbed by
osteoclasts.
• Compact bone replaces spongy bone around the
periphery of the fracture.
• Sometimes, the repair process is so thorough
that the fracture line is undetectable, even in a
radiograph (x-ray).
• However, a thickened area on the surface of the
bone remains as evidence of a healed fracture.
17.
18.
19. • Although bone has a generous blood supply,
healing sometimes takes months.
• The calcium and phosphorus needed to
strengthen and harden new bone are deposited
only gradually, and bone cells generally grow
and reproduce slowly.
• The temporary disruption in their blood supply
also helps explain the slowness of healing of
severely fractured bones.
