Bicipital tendonitis is inflammation of long head of the biceps tendon under the bicipital groove.
In early stage, tendon becomes red and swollen, as tendonitis develops the tendon sheath can thicken.
In late stage, often become dark red in color due to inflammation.
Injuries to a ligament are common, especially during athletic activity. Ligaments in the ankle, knee, and wrist are consistently in action during athletic activity and thus are under a lot of stress.

Sports injuries and Physiotherapy management.pptxkajal sansoya
Sport injuries refer to kind of injury that occur to a player during sports or exercise.
In other words, the situation which occurs accidently during physical activity or when the player does not remain in the position of participating in the game or his physical ability decreases is also referred to sports injuries.
Direct injury is caused by an external blow or force.
Indirect injury caused by an internal force as over stretching a ligament in sudden change direction.
Overuse injury any repetitive activity can lead to overuse injury, can occur over a period of time, usually due to excessive and repetitive leading of the tissue, with symptoms presenting gradually

Stretching before and after activity
Cross –train activity
Dress right
Use proper technique
Improve posture
Avoiding DOMS( delayed onset muscle soreness)
Early-stage rehabilitation is gentle exercise allowing for the damaged tissue to heal. This stage is often rushed and will result in poor quality healing and will be prone to re-injury.
Mid-stage rehabilitation involves progressively loading the muscles/tendons/bones or ligaments to develop tensile strength producing a healed tissue that will be able to withstand the stresses and strains of everyday life and exercise.
Late – the final stage (late) of rehabilitation is where the tissue adapts and is stressed using functional exercises and drills to ensure the body is ready to return to play.
Pilates is a system of repetitive exercises performed on a yoga mat or other equipment to promote strength, stability, and flexibility. Pilates exercises develop the body through muscular effort that stems from the core.

Low quality of equipments
Lack of physiotherapist guidance
Overuse
Trauma injures
Sprains/strains
Fractures and dislocations
Injuries which occur when any body part gets hit by an impactful blunt force like a kick, fall or blow. Impact of the trauma damages the soft tissue leading to contusions, bruises and concussions.
In this type of injuries discolouration , swelling and pain is noticed. Sprain is a stretch or tear in a ligament. “ligaments are flexible bands of fibrous tissues connecting bones to bones, bones to joints and bones to cartilage. When these get torn or stretched, it results in a sprain, most likely in ankles, knees and wrists.”
Muscle pull or tearing of muscle occurs when you overstress your muscle again and again causes damage to muscle fibers .
The tearing may be major or minor
Hamstring muscle pull is most common in gym injuries.
Muscle strain occurs when a particular muscle gets injured due to a pull or twist. This type of injury can happen when people don’t warm up or properly stretch their bodies enough before working out.
You can also get a strain while jogging or doing weight training.
Some common types of strains you may come across while gymming:
Golfer’s elbow
Tennis elbow
Lumbar strain
Jumper’s knee
Runner’s kneewhen the ends of two connected bones separate from each other, it is known as dislocation. This happens when the ligament is hit by some extreme force or blow.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

3. Introduction
• The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the
strongest and largest intra-articular ligament
in human knee and the primary posterior
stabilizer of the knee.
• It comprises of 2 functional bundles: the
larger anterolateral bundle (ALB) and the
smaller posteromedial bundle (PMB).
4.
5. Attachments
• Posterior curciate liagment begins form the
posterior part of intercondylar area of tibia,
runs upwards, forwards and medially and is
attached to the anterior part of lateral surface
of medial condyle of femur .
6. When this ligament injured ?
• This ligament is damaged if the anterior
aspect of the tibia is struck with the knee
semi-flexed so as to force the tibia backwards
on to the femur
7.
8. Mechanism of injury
• Hyperflexion
• Falling on bent knee with foot plantar flexed
• Hit on anterior tibia
• Dashboard injury
• Knee dislocation (rare)
• It may be tear of PCL or bony avulsion of PCL
9.
10. Pathoanatomy
• The ligament may tear at either of its
attachment. Sometimes, it takes a chip of
bone from its attachment. The ligament may
be torn in its substance (mid-substance tear).
The severity of the tear varies from a rupture
of just a few fibers to a complete tear.
11. Conti…
• It may be an 'isolated' ligament injury, or more
than one ligaments may be injured. The
combination depends upon the direction and
severity of the force. Rarely, in a very severe
injury, the knee may get dislocated and a
number of ligaments injured.
12. Biomechanics
• Secondary stabilizer of knee preventing excessive
rotation specifially between 90-120 knee flexion
• PCL ruptures have greatest effect at 90 of knee
flexion, and thus , the integrity of PCL should be
tested clinically at 90 of knee flexion
• PCL provides resistance to internal rotation
beyond 90 of knee flexion
• PCL plays important role in rotational stability,
espeically beyond 90 flexion
13.
14. Types of PCL injuries
• PCL sprain
• PCL isolated tear
• PCL tear along with ACL tear
• PCL damaged along with MCL injuries
• PCL injury with meniscus injury
• Posterolateral corner injury
15.
16. Grades of PCL sprain
• Grade1- a partial tear is present in ligament.
• Garde2 –there’s a partial tear &the ligament
feels loose
• Grade3- the ligament is completely torn & the
knee is unstable.
• Garde4- the PCL is injured & another knee
ligament is damaged.
17.
18. Can you walk with PCL injury ?
• It depends, in mild cases, people may still be
able to walk but no able to transmit full
weight bearing on affected knee
• Walking is not possible with severe PCL tear &
with multiple ligament injury.
19.
20. Clinical presentation
• Patient usually able to walk with mild tear but
complain about difficulty in weight bearing
• Pop sound at back of knee
• Swelling in popliteal fossa
• Tenderness
• Stiffness
• Trouble going down stairs
• Pain worsen over time
• Feeling of instability of knee
• Wobbly sensation
21. Diagnosis
• If isolated PCL injury MRI is helpful
• CT scan and X-rays are done in multiple
injuries along with multiple ligament injury
• CT scan and X-rays are strongly recommended
in case of bony avulsion fracture of tibia.
22.
23. Special test
1. Posterior drawer test
Patient is in supine lying
Procedure- 45 flexion at
hip & 90 flexion at knee
with feet on plinth.
Positive sign- posterior
drop of tibia
24. 2. Posterior sag test
Patient is in supine lying
Procedure- 45 flexion at
hip and 90 flexion on
knee with feet on
plinth
Positive sign- tibia drops
posteriorly
25. 3. Slocum test for anterolateral
rotatory instability
Patient is in supine lying
Procedure- 45 flexion at hip and
90
flexion at knee, foot placed in
30 medial rotation and
stabilized, posteroanterior
force is applied on tibia.
positive sign- excessive
movement on lateral side,
when compared with other
knee.
26. 4. Abduction (valgus) stress test-
Test for full extension ligament injury
Patient is in supine lying
Procedure-ankle is stabilized and medial
pressure is applied on knee joint at 0 & then
at extension in 20-30
Positive sign- excessive movement is seen as
compared to opposite knee.
27.
28. Treatment
• Surgery – arthroscopy in partial tear /
complete tear
• Open knee surgery in PCL injury with bony
avulsion.
• Knee braces
