Osteochondroma is a benign bone tumor that projects from the external surface of bones. It consists of a cartilage cap and bony projection. Solitary osteochondroma involves one bone, while multiple osteochondromas can involve several bones and are associated with hereditary multiple exostosis. Osteochondromas are most common in children and adolescents, usually causing no symptoms, though sometimes pain or pressure on nearby tissues. While usually benign, osteochondromas have a small risk of malignant transformation. Diagnosis involves x-ray, CT or MRI to identify the connection to the underlying bone and cartilage cap structure. Symptomatic osteochondromas may require surgical excision to relieve symptoms.
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a pathologic process that results from interruption of blood supply to the bone. AVN of the hip is poorly understood, but this process is the final common pathway of traumatic or nontraumatic factors that compromise the already precarious circulation of the femoral head. Femoral head ischemia results in the death of marrow and osteocytes and usually results in the collapse of the necrotic segment
This is a short presentation on avascular necrosis of femoral head. This presentation gives brief description of causes of AVN, investigations and modes of treatment options available.

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.

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

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.

OSTEOCHONDROMA
2. INTRODUCTION
• Osteochondroma is a bony exostosis projecting
from the external surface of a bone.
• It is usually has a hyaline lined cartilaginous cap
• The cortex and spongiosa of the lesion merge with
that of the host bone
3. • When the lesion is seen in a single bone , it is called
solitary osteochondroma
• If two or three bones are involved , with no familial
history , the condition is known as multiple
ostechondromas
• Widespread ostechondromas are associated with a
positive familial history, and the condition is known
as Heriditary Multiple Exostosis
4. INCIDENCE
• Most common skeletal growth/tumor
• Approximate incidence is 50% of all benign bone
tumors
• Male : Female ratio 2:1
• Most are encountered in childhood and
adolescence
• 75% occur before the age of 20
• Many cases may not be diagnosed due to the silent
nature of the disease
5. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Developmental lesions rather than true neoplasms
• These lesions result from the separation of a
fragment of epiphyseal growth plate cartilage,
which subsequently herniates through the periosteal
bone cuff
• The mechanism likely results from the remodeling
during growth of the long bone.
• Persistent growth of this cartilaginous fragment and
its subsequent enchondral ossification (maturation)
result in a subperiosteal osseous excrescence with
a cartilage cap that projects from the bone surface.
• After adolescence and skeletal maturity,
osteochondromas usually exhibit no further growth.
6. The development of an osteochondroma, beginning
with an outgrowth from the epiphyseal cartilage
Histology:
•Covered by thin layer of periosteum.
•Binucleate chondrocytes in lacunae.
•Contains hyaline cartilage, bony tissue
and normal bone marrow particle.
8. UNCOMMON SITES
• Metacarpals
• Condylar process of the mandible
• Base of the skull
• Talus
• Calcaneus
• Spine
• Distal end of the clavicle( can cause rotator cuff
syndrome)
10. SESSILE VARIANT
• Creates a broad based exostosis
lacking an elongated projection
• Causes a long asymmetric
elongation of the bone
• Amorphous , spotty calcification is
absent
• Occur at the metaphyseal –
diaphyseal region
11. PEDUNCULATED VARIANT
• Knee is the most common location (tibia and fibula)
• Metaphysis is the common site of involvement
• Lesion has a slender stalk with a cartilaginous dome
• The cartilage may show dense amorphous / spotty
calcification
12. CLINICAL FEATURES
• Most are asymptomatic
• Symptoms arise as a result of their
1. Location
2. Size
3. Pressure effects on adjacent structures
• Tendon or nerve irritation
• Usual complaint is hard palpable mass
14. MALIGNANT TRANSFORMATION
• Presents with
1. Growth of lesion after skeletal maturity
2. Pelvis / shoulder (mostly sessile variety)
3. < 1 % in solitary , > 10% in HME
4. Increasing mass and pain at the site of lesion in
absence of fracture, bursitis or nerve compression
• Radiologically
• Bone destruction
• Dispersed calcification in cartilaginous cap
• Soft tissue mass
15. X RAY - PEDUNCULATED
• Lateral radiograph of a
pedunculated
osteochondroma of the distal
femur.
• COAT HANGER EXOSTOSIS :
The lesion invariably point
away from the joint due to
muscle pull
16. X RAY SESSILE
• Lateral radiograph
of a sessile
osteochondroma of
the distal femur.
17. USG
• Ultrasonography can be applied to analyze the
cartilaginous cap of an osteochondroma.
• Ultrasonography is also valuable in the diagnosis of
bursitis and other complications associated with
osteochondromas, such as arterial or venous
thrombosis, as well as aneurysm and
pseudoaneurysm formation.
18. C T SCAN
• Allows optimal demonstration of the
pathognomonic cortical and medullary continuity
of the lesion and parent bone
• Mineralization in the cartilage cap allows a correct
CT measurement
• Cartilage cap thickness greater than 2 cm in adults
and 3 cm in growing children suggests malignant
transformation
19. MRI
• MRI is useful for assessing the continuity of the
parent bone with the cortical and medullary bone
in an osteochondroma.
• MRI also provides information about inflammation in
reactive bursa formation, impingement syndromes,
and arterial and venous compromise. This study is
the method of choice for evaluating compression of
the spinal cord, nerve roots, and peripheral nerves.
20. TREATMENT
• No treatment necessary for asymptomatic
osteochondromas (Observation)
• If the lesion is causing pain or neurologic symptoms
due to compression, it should be Excised
• None of the cartilage cap or perichondrium should be left in
the resection bed or recurrence can occur.
• Patients with many large osteochondromas should
have regular radiographic screening exams for the
early detection of malignant transformation
• In adults if the osteochondroma has recently
become bigger, then urgent surgery is done due to
fear of malignancy
21. HEREDITARY MULTIPLE EXOSTOSIS
• Autosomal dominant condition
• Mutations in the EXT1 and EXT2 genes cause
hereditary multiple exostoses
• Multiple osteochondromas
• Asymmetric growth at the knees and ankles and
Short stature
• Malignant transformation rates as high as 25%
