This document discusses the anatomy and clinical assessment of the rotator cuff. It describes the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff, their innervation and attachments. Common rotator cuff injuries like impingement syndrome and ruptures are explained. The physical exam involves assessing range of motion and performing special tests like Neer's, Hawkins-Kennedy, and lift-off to identify injuries.
Dupuytren's disease is a condition where the palmar fascia thickens and contracts, most commonly affecting the fingers in a bent position. It is more common in Northern Europe and risk factors include diabetes, tuberculosis, AIDS, and past hand injuries. The disease begins as a nodule in the palm and progresses into cords that contract the fingers. Surgical treatment involves fasciectomy or removal of the thickened fascia. Potential complications include hematoma, skin necrosis, infection, nerve or artery damage, stiffness, loss of strength, and recurrence of the contractures.
Dupuytren's contracture is a condition causing the fingers to bend towards the palm. It is caused by a thickening of the fascia in the palm. The initial symptom is a nodule in the palm that develops into cords pulling the fingers into the palm. Surgery is the main treatment and involves excising the diseased tissue and splinting the fingers in extension post-operatively to prevent recurrence of contractures. Complications can include complex regional pain syndrome or recurrence of contractures if splinting is not continued long-term.
This document provides information on Dupuytren's contracture including its history, epidemiology, clinical presentation, anatomy of the palmar fascia, pathogenesis, clinical evaluation, management options, postoperative care, and complications. It describes Dupuytren's contracture as a benign fibromatosis of the palmar and digital fascia. Key points include that it typically presents as nodules and cords in the palm that can cause finger contractures, affects mostly men over 40 of Northern European descent, and can be managed with fasciectomy or collagenase injections to release contractures.
Dupuytren's disease is a condition characterized by abnormal thickening and contraction of the palmar fascia in the hand. It commonly affects middle-aged men of northern European descent and is associated with conditions like alcohol use, smoking, and diabetes. The disease pathology involves proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts that deposit excess collagen in the palmar fascia, leading to nodule formation and cord-like contractures of the fingers.
Dupuytren's contracture is a condition causing the fingers to bend towards the palm due to fibrosis of the palmar fascia. It typically affects men over 50 years old and has an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Clinically, patients present with nodules and cords in the palm leading to finger contractures. Treatment options include observation for slow cases, radiotherapy in early stages, and surgery involving fasciotomy or fasciectomy. Complete fasciectomy has high recurrence rates while partial fasciectomy balances effectiveness and risk of recurrence. Post-operative splinting and exercises are needed to regain finger extension.

The Importance of Identifying Sepsis in the Golden First HourHasan Arafat
A case of a patient who was missed while in early sepsis. It sheds light on the importance of sticking to the guidelines of management of sepsis and how it can protect patients from deteriorating.

A short lecture highlighting the most important aspects of pharmacological management of DM in general. It discusses the use of insulin in type I diabetes mellitus and the approach with hypoglycemic agents in type II.
A unique case of sustained OS on CDK 4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib) in a case of de novo metastatic breast intraductal carcinoma to liver and bone. Over the coarse of 6 years of hormonal therapy in addition to a CDK 4/6 inhibitor, the patient achieved a full metabolic response, with no evidence of disease locally or distally. One major aspect of the remarkable response is the consistency by which the patient received her regimen in a low-to-middle income country in which providing the medication in a regular manner constitutes a major challenge in the treatment or cancer patients.
Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders caused by abnormalities in brain development or damage to the developing brain that affects movement and posture. The most common presentation is spastic diplegia. Cerebral palsy is diagnosed through history, physical exam, and brain imaging to determine the location and extent of lesions. Treatment focuses on prevention where possible, as well as physical therapy, orthopedic surgery, botulinum toxin injections, and anti-spasticity medications to improve function. Associated disorders commonly seen include intellectual disability, epilepsy, and behavioral issues.
Surviving Sepsis in the Golden First HourHasan Arafat
Treating sepsis within the first hour, known as the "golden hour", significantly improves survival rates. The diagnosis and treatment of sepsis is a medical emergency, as survival rates drop dramatically after the first six hours. Following the "golden hour 1 bundle" protocol of measuring lactate levels, obtaining cultures, administering antibiotics and fluids, and applying vasopressors as needed within the first hour can reduce mortality from sepsis. The case study of 7-month old Tilly highlights how failure to recognize and promptly treat sepsis can have deadly consequences.

As pediatricians who work with little children who has little to express in their early days, we tend to overlook the long-term effect of out treatment of their condition and often focus on the condition itself. With the adaptation of the patient-center approach in medical practice, as well as from an ethical point of view, we are urged to weight our treatment of acute condition against the long-term effect that might affect the patient well-being in life later on. This lecture, which is a journal club review, aims at shedding light at this aspect of medical practice, reminding physicians that chemical drugs are both an antidote as well as a poison, and the decision to treat should be always made judicially.
This is a review of a case of an infant admitted to pediatric ICU as a case of epidural hematoma after traumatic brain injury. A brief summary of the most important aspects.

The Effect of Curcumin on AMPA Receptors PharmacokineticsHasan Arafat
This document outlines a study examining the effect of curcumin derivatives on AMPA receptor kinetics. The objectives are to identify potent and selective curcumin derivatives that inhibit AMPA receptors and characterize their effects. HEK293 cells will be transfected with GluA2 receptors to study the effects of curcumin derivative A on whole cell current, desensitization, and deactivation. Preliminary results show that derivative A decreases peak current, increases desensitization rate and extent, and increases deactivation rate, indicating it inhibits AMPA receptors. The study aims to better understand how curcumin derivatives modify AMPA receptor properties to develop new natural drugs without side effects.

Triage is the process of sorting patients based on the urgency of their condition to provide the right care to the patients who need it most. It involves an initial assessment of patients upon arrival to identify life-threatening issues and prioritize patients into categories based on need. The document outlines the goals and categories of triage in both emergency and disaster situations, with categories ranked from resuscitation to non-urgent based on the threat to life, limb, or function. It also describes the key components of triage including an initial across-the-room assessment and ongoing re-assessments to adjust patient priority as needs change.

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.
