This document discusses osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease. It is a genetic disorder characterized by fragile bones that fracture easily, as well as other connective tissue problems. The document covers the classification, clinical features, inheritance patterns, radiographic findings, complications, and treatment options of OI, including various intramedullary rodding systems used to treat long bone deformities.
Operative treatment of osteoporotic spinal fracturesAlexander Bardis
Osteoporosis is a systemic disease, which results in :
progressive bone mineral loss
concurrent changes in bony architecture
leaving the spinal column vulnerable to compression fractures, usually after minimal or no trauma.
LCPD or Perthes disease - idiopathic avascular necrosis of femoral head, characterized mainly in child age 4-7 years - with a feature of limping and pain in the hip or groin

Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:

Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.
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.

ossification n the calvarium

Popcorn epiphysis
43. 4 main types are developed
Bailey-Dubow
Sheffield
Fassier-Duval
Interlocking telescoping rods
These rods have a female hollow nail anchored
in the proximal epiphysis of the long bone and a
male solid nail anchored to the distal epiphysis.
They are elongated as the child grow. So, less
revision rates compared to solid
44. Rod diameter
Larger diameter gives more stability but causes bone loss
around the rod
Therefore, thinner rods are recommended acting as
internal tutor and not replacing the bone
Leaving 2 mm around the rod in any plan is a safe
method
Rod length
Pre-operative templates are essential taking into account the
osteotomies needed to straighten the bone
Measure the length (L) between greater trochanter
and distal growth plate
Female rod length is (L) - 7 mm
Male rod length is (L) + (10-15) mm
45. T piece is not a component of the rod and has to
be attached to it
No locking mechanism ensures the fixation to
epiphysis
Need arthrotomy for insertion
The reoperations rates are 21% - 32%
46.
47. Complications of Bailey and Dubow:
Proximal rod migration
Disengagement of the
epiphyseal T-piece
Bending
Infection
48.
49. Design with a fixed T-piece on either end
It is rotated intraoperatively for better fixation
within the epiphysis
The reoperation rate is 20%
Need arthrotomy for insertion
50.
51. The anchorage is achieved through
screw type fixation by threaded
portions at the proximal and distal ends
with improved “screw-in” fixation
The advantage of this rod over the
traditional Bailey-Dubow and Sheffield
rods is the single proximal entry point
Reoperation rate is 13% in a study on 15
patients
FD rods are safe and pose no risk of
migration, heating effects, or artifact
when undergoing an MRI of the spine
using a 1.5 T magnet
52.
53.
54. The female rod is the same as Sheffield telescopic
rod system while The male rod has a hole at its
distal tip to receive the interlocking pin
A revision rate of 9% at 2 years and 28% at 3
years.
No need for
arthrotomy
proximal migrat-
-ion is 12.5 %
