The document discusses microwave diathermy (MWD), including its properties, production, therapeutic effects, indications, contraindications, and precautions. MWD uses electromagnetic waves between 300 MHz to 300 GHz to generate heat in superficial tissues up to 3 cm deep. It can be used to treat pain, muscle spasms, inflammation and other conditions affecting small, superficial areas like joints, muscles, and tendons. Proper application and monitoring are needed to avoid risks such as burns.

Microwave diathermies (MWDs) are electromagnetic (EM) radiation emitting systems that are used by physiotherapists for thermotherapy treatment. This presentation will give an overview about Microwave diathermy to all physiotherapy clinicians, students & teaching faculties
Short Wave Diathermy (SWD) is a treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to produce deep heating in joints and soft tissues. This form of heat can be applied to deeper structures than other forms of heat treatment.
High frequency current of microwave diathermyaditya romadhon
Microwave Diathermy (MWD) units and domestic microwave ovens usually operate at the internationally agreed frequency of 2450 MHz (2.45 GHz)
Some clinical devices, particularly in the United States, emit radiation with a frequency of 915MHz
The power output of therapeutic microwave units can approach 250W
The depths to which microwave energy penetrates (expressed as the distance in which the field strength has fallen to 37% of the incident value) varies according to tissue and frequency.
Microwaves with a frequency of 2450MHz penetrate 1.7cm in muscle and skin, whilst at 915MHz these values increase to 3.04 cm

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!
2. At the end of the lecture the student
should be able to
Understand physics and properties of MWD
Know different directors of MWD
Identify therapeutic effects, indications,
contraindications of MWD
Recognize dangers and precautions with MWD
Know the difference between SWD and MWD
Analyze and discuss different cases
3. Properties of Microwaves
Microwave diathermy (MWD), is a form of
electromagnetic radiations lying between shortwave and
infrared waves.
Microwave diathermy does not penetrate as deep as
shortwave diathermy.
The energy is first absorbed at the surface of the body
(skin) and a part of it penetrate and absorbed in deep
tissues.
It generates Strong Electrical Field and relatively Little
4. Frequency and wavelength
Microwave has a much higher frequency and a shorter
wavelength than shortwave diathermy.
The general frequency of microwave is between 300 MHz
to 300 GHz with wave length of 10 mm to 1 meter.
The therapeutic microwave generators used frequency of
2450MHz with wave length of 122.5mm.
5. Microwave Production and Device
The generator used to produce microwaves has three
main components:
1- A multi-cavity magnetron valve
2- A coaxial cable
3- A director.
Mechanism of MW production
The magnetron produces a high frequency alternating
current which is carried by coaxial cable to the
transducer (director).
The coaxial cable transmits the energy to the director
whereas a radiating system comprising an antenna
within a reflector that is used to direct the microwave
to the patient.
6. Microwave Production and Device
The alternating current in the antenna produces an
electromagnetic field that is directed toward the
tissue by a curved reflecting director surrounding the
antenna.
The presence of a director and the short wavelength
of microwave radiation allow this type of diathermy
to be focused and applied to small, defined areas.
Therefore these devices can be useful during
rehabilitation when only small areas of tissue are
involved.
8. Directors Used in MicrowaveDirectors Used in Microwave
ApplicationsApplications
Circular directors
- The heating pattern is more
intense around the outer
portion than the centre.
- There are small and large
Rectangular directors
The heating pattern tends to
be more concentrated in the
center of the treated area.
9. Biophysics of MWD
MWD tend to be reflected and scattered at different
interfaces as air-skin, skin-fat, and the fat-muscle which
limit its penetration into the tissues.
Because of the spreading of MW, the superficial tissues
tend to be heated more than deeper tissues.
Depth of penetration depends on the frequency of the
wave and the medium. The effective penetration of
2450MHz is approximately 3 cm.
Mechanism of heat production by MWD is the same as
SWD
10. Therapeutic Effects of MicrowaveTherapeutic Effects of Microwave
DiathermyDiathermy
Pain: MWD is useful in the treatment of traumatic
and rheumatic conditions affecting superficial
muscles, ligaments and small superficial joints.
Muscle spasm: which may be reduced directly by
MWD or may be reduced by relieving of pain.
Inflammation: MWD reduces inflammation by
increase blood supply that will increase venous
return from the inflamed area and aids the
reabsorption of edema exudates.
11. Therapeutic Effects (contTherapeutic Effects (cont.(.(
Delayed healing: MWD promotes healing of
open skin by increase cutaneous circulation.
Infection: MWD can control the chronic infection
by increasing the circulation.
Fibrosis: The heating effect of MWD increase the
extensibility of fibrous tissues such as tendons, joint
capsules and scars.
12. Indications of MWDIndications of MWD
- The clinical indications for MWD are, more or less, similar to
those for SWD.
- MWD may be preferable to SWD when more concentrated or
localize heating is needed.
Musculoskeletal disorders:
- Sprain - Muscle & tendon tear
- Strain - Degenerative joint disease
- Joint stiffness in superficial joints
- Capsular lesions.
Superficial inflammatory or infective conditions :
- Tenosynovitis - Bursitis
- Synovitis - Abscess
- Infected surgical incisions
13. Contra-indicationsContra-indications
Over malignant tissues.
Over ischemic tissues.
Over wet dressings and adhesive tapes.
Metal implants.
Pacemaker.
Over growing bone.
Male gonads: repeated irradiation can cause
sterility.
Hemorrhage.
Impaired thermal sensation.
14. Contra-indications (contContra-indications (cont.(.(
Recent radiotherapy.
Hypersensitivity to heat.
Acute infection or inflammation.
Venous thrombosis or phlebitis.
Pregnancy: heat applied to pelvis or hip in
pregnancy may cause hemorrhage or
miscarriage.
Acute dermatological conditions.
Severe cardiac conditions.
15. Precautions & DangersPrecautions & Dangers
The same as SWD, but it is recommended to
avoid the presence of metal within the
treatment field (4 feet) because of scattering
and reflection of MWD
Due to scattering and reflection of MWD to
the surrounding environment, it has been
associated with high incidence of
miscarriages among female therapists who
regularly operate these units than SWD.
The eyes: MWD may cause cataract.
16. Precautions & Dangers(contPrecautions & Dangers(cont.(.(
Obesity: MWD with 2450MHz, there is danger
of producing an excessive heat in the
subcutaneous fat layer
Burn: There is an increasing of risk of excessive
heating and burning with the using of MWD due
to:
1. Shallow depth of penetration
2. Reflection at tissue interfaces
3. Potential standing waves
17. Dosage of MWDDosage of MWD
Duration of treatment: 20 minutes is the
optimum.
Intensity: the patient should feel mild and
comfortable warmth.
Frequency: daily or on alternating day.
