The anatomy of the back is complex and involves a combination of bones, muscles, nerves, and other structures that provide support, protection, and mobility.
The back is generally divided into several regions, including the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions.
Understanding the anatomy of the back is essential for healthcare professionals, including orthopedic specialists, physical therapists, and chiropractors, as well as for individuals interested in maintaining back health and preventing injuries.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
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.

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
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.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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!

Exam of the Hip
DR UTKARSH SHAHI
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
DEPARTMENT OF ORTHOPEDICS
2. REVIEW OF HIP ANATOMY
Ball and socket joint of synovial joint.
Connects the pelvic girdle to the lower limb
Made up of femoral head and acetabulum
Designed for stability and wide range of
movement
Covered with a thin layer of hyaline cartilage
3. REVIEW OF HIP ANATOMY
The articular surface of is horse-shoe
shaped and is deficient inferiorly-
acetabular notch
Has a labrum
- It a circular layer of cartilage which
surrounds the outer part of the acetabulum
making the socket deeper and so helping
provide more stability
- Acetabular labral tears are a common injury
from major or repeated minor trauma
4. REVIEW OF HIP ANATOMY
This is a strong ligament which connects
the pelvis to the femur
At the front of the joint
It resembles a Y in shape
Stabilises the hip by limiting
hyperextension
5. REVIEW OF HIP ANATOMY
Pubofemoral ligament
The pubofemoral ligament attaches the part of the pelvis known as the pubis
(most forward part, either side of the pubic symphysis) to the femur.
Ischiofemoral ligament:
This is a ligament which reinforces the posterior aspect of the capsule
attaches the ischium to the two trochanters of the femur.
Transverse acetabular Ligament:
Bridges acetabular notch.
Ligament of head of femur: flat and triangular in shape
Lies within joint, ensheathed by synovium
6. REVIEW OF HIP ANATOMY
Gluteals:
Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Minimus and Gluteus
Medius
Attach to the Ilium and travel laterally to insert into
the greater trochanter of the femur
Medius and Minimus abduct and medially rotate
the hip joint, as well as stabilising the pelvis
Gluteus maximus extends and laterally rotates the
hip joint
7. REVIEW OF HIP ANATOMY
Quadriceps
The four Quadricep muscles are Vastus
lateralis, medialis, intermedius and Rectus
femoris
All attach inferiorly to the tibial tuberosity
Rectus femoris originates at the Anterior
Inferior Iliac Spine and acts to flex the hip
The 3 other Quad muscles do not cross the
hip joint, and attach around the greater
trochanter and just below it.
8. REVIEW OF HIP ANATOMY
Iliopsoas:
The is the primary hip flexor muscle which
consists of 2 parts

50. ALLIS TEST
Procedure: Infant supine, flex the knees, Feet should approximate
one another on the table.
Positive Test: A difference in the height of the knees is a positive
test.
Short knee on the affected side – posterior displacement of the femoral head
or a short tibia.
Long knee on the affected side – anterior displacement of the femoral head
or increase in tibia length.
53. ORTALANI’S CLICK TEST
Procedure:
Infant supine.
Grasp both thighs with thumbs on the lesser trochanters.
Flex and abduct the thighs b/l.
Positive Test: Palpable or audible click is a positive sign.
The click signifies displacement of the femoral head in or out
of the acetabular cavity.
55. ANVIL TEST
Procedure:
Patient supine.
Tap the inferior calcaneum with your fist.
Positive Test: Local pain in the hip joint may indicate a femoral
head fracture or joint pathology.
Pain in the thigh or leg secondary to trauma may indicate a femoral, tibial, or
fibula fracture.
Pain local to the calcaneum may indicate a calcaneal fracture.
57. THOMAS TEST
Procedure:
Supine patient.
Approximate each knee to the chest one at a time.
Palpate quadriceps on the un-flexed leg.
Positive Test:
No tightness – suspect restriction at the hip joint structure or joint capsule.
If tightness is palpated on the side of the involuntary flexed knee – hip flexure
contraction is suspected.
59. ELY’S TEST
Procedure:
Patient prone.
Grasp ankle and passively flex the knee to the buttock.
Positive Test: If the patient has a tight rectus femoris or
hip flexion contracture, the hip on the same side will flex,
raising the buttock off the table.
61. PATRICK TEST (FABER)
Procedure:
Patient supine.
Flex leg and place foot flat on table.
Grasp femur and press it into the acetabular cavity.
Cross leg to opposite knee.
Stabilize ASIS opposite and press down on knee of side tested.
Positive Test:
Pain in the hip – inflammatory process in the hip joint
Pain secondary to trauma – may indicate fracture
Pain may indicate avascular necrosis of femoral head
63. TRENDELENBURG TEST
Procedure:
Patient standing.
Grasp waist.
Thumbs on PSIS b/l.
Instruct patient to flex one leg at a time.
Positive Test:
If the patient cannot stand on one leg because of pain
If the opposite pelvis falls or fails to rise
This tests the integrity of the hip joint opposite the side of hip flexion
65. VASCULAR SIGN OF NARATH
Procedure:
Patient supine.
Palpate femoral artery in femoral triangle.
Positive Test:
If the femoral pulses are not palpable : Hip dislocation
If the femoral pulses are feeble : Fracture neck of femur
Avascular Necrosis of Hip
