Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine visible from the front or side with an accompanying abnormal twisting. It is classified by degree of curvature as mild, moderate, or severe. The main types are congenital, neuromuscular, degenerative, and idiopathic scoliosis. Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common and has no known cause. Treatment depends on the type and severity, and may include bracing, exercise, or surgery. Schroth exercises are a conservative treatment that aim to correct posture and reduce the curve through stretching and strengthening techniques. A case study found Schroth therapy combined with bracing successfully reduced scoliosis curves in an adolescent patient.
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.

Idiopathic scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve to the side. While the cause of scoliosis is unknown, it usually runs in families and typically affects girls and young women more often and severely than boys and young men. Mild cases that do not cause pain or discomfort require no treatment. However, cases that are moderate to severe and with or without pain or discomfort require treatment which is determined on a case by case basis.

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!

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
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
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

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

2. “Scoliosis”
comes from
Greek word
“skolios”
means
crooked.
Scoliosis is a
deviation of the
spine viewed from
coronal or frontal
plane, causing a
curve, which is
accompanied by
abnormal lateral
and rotational
curvature (>10o) of
the spine.
10o - 20o of scoliosis
is “Mild”
20o - 40o of scoliosis
is “Moderate”
> 40o of scoliosis is
“Severe”
Scoliosis is a
neuro-
muscular
condition
influenced by
other factors,
although it
appears to be a
bone condition.
There may be one
curve (C-curve)
present or two
curve (S-curve).
SCOLIOSIS
3. Congenital
scoliosis
• Caused by a
bone
abnormality
present at
birth
Neuromuscular or
myopathic scoliosis
• Result of abnormal
muscles or nerves.
• Frequently seen in
people with spina
bifida or cerebral
palsy or in those
with various
conditions that are
accompanied by,
or result in,
paralysis.
Degenerative
scoliosis
• Result from
traumatic
(injury or illness)
bone collapse,
previous major
back surgery, or
osteoporosis.
• Adult scoliosis
that typically
occur after age
65
Idiopathic scoliosis
• Most common type and no
specific unidentified cause.
• There are 4 types of
scoliosis:-
• Infantile = affect at birth
and < 3 years old
• Juvenile = pre-puberty ( 3
– 9 years old)
• Adolescent = puberty to
maturity (10 – 18 years
old)
• Adult = after maturity
(after age of 18 years old)
CAUSES OF SCOLIOSIS
4. Classification by anatomic area:
• Cervical curve – apex between C1 and C6
• Cervico-thoracic curve - apex between C7 and T1
• Thoracic curve - apex between T2 and T11
• Thoraco-lumbar curve - apex between T12 and L1
• Lumbar curve - apex between L2 and L4
• Lumbosacral curve - apex between L5 and S1

6. IDIOPATHIC
SCOLIOSIS
Infantile scoliosis
• Curve may disappear by itself as age increase
• Milwaukee brace full time (23 hours)
• Surgical correction
Juvenile scoliosis
• Milwaukee brace (18-24 months)
• With reduction of the curve, time of wearing also reduced from 20 hours to 6 hours
everyday
• Surgery
Adolescent scoliosis
• Curve under 45 degrees – exercise, bracing, electrical stimulation, manipulation,
biofeedback
• Curve over 45-50 degrees - surgical
TREATMENT
8. 44% of bracing attempts are considered failures
Research findings:-
• Less than 30 degrees, there were no significant differences between braced and non-
braced patients. Usually, brace is prescribed for scoliosis less than 20 degrees.
• 60% felt bracing handicapped their lives
• 14% considered bracing left a psychological scar
• Bracing significantly decrease lung function, causing respiratory distress (headaches,
anxiety, sleep problem, and cognitive dysfunction)
Facts
• Scoliosis braces cause the muscles to weaken or atrophy because not been used
• The joints around the spine need movement or other degenerative issues may develop
• The brace stress the ribs and often creates a rib hump
SCOLIOSIS BRACING NOT SUPPORTED ?
9. • To provide rapid pain relief and functional improvement
• To create a lifestyle habit for continued improvement and stability
• To prevent age and hormone-related declines in bone density and
strength
• To stabilize scoliotic curve
• Improve fitness, muscle strength and power.
• Improve proprioception
• Improve range of motion
• Improve tolerance for prolonged activities
THE BEST TREAMENT IS EXERCISE
10. Types of exercises for scoliosis
• Symmetrical exercises
• Goals – To strengthen back and abdominal
muscles and for functional improvement in ranges
of joint motion.
• Breathing exercises
• Goals – To increase lung volume and thorax
mobility and flexibility.
• Asymmetrical exercises
• Goals – For lengthening muscles on the shortened
side, and for contracting muscles on the
lengthened side.
• Static exercises body weight (hanging or traction
exercises)
• Goals – For releasing tension along the spine
THE BEST TREAMENT IS EXERCISE
11.
12. Consist of a combination of stretching, strengthening, and breathing techniques
Halt curve progression, eliminate pain, and improve posture – for life
Can be done at home and part of daily life
Schroth Therapy Follows a 3-Step Exercise Process:
• 1. First make the proper pelvis position corrections
• 2. Do spinal elongation and then rotational angular breathing (RAB) techniques to move
spine and ribs into best possible posture
• 3. Tense the trunk muscles isometrically, in order to strengthen weak muscles and
preserve the corrected posture
The goal is to develop the inner muscles of the rib cage in order to change the shape of the
upper trunk and to correct any spinal abnormalities.
SCHROTH EXERCISE
13. Specific exercises are provided based on the curve
patterns and severity, as well as the patients function
and mobility.
The goal is create awareness of the new posture and
alignment through position, repetitions and
breathing.
Exercises are designed to reduce the flat back and rib
prominence and restore alignment of the pelvis.
Schroth program will be based on your individual
evaluation.
Treatment sessions are typically 45-55 min long and
can range from 5 sessions up to 20 sessions.
SCHROTH EXERCISE
14. • THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONSERVATIVE TREATMENTS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF SCOLIOSIS
CURVES IN AN ADOLESCENT CHILD: A CASE REPORT
• Subject: 10 years old female suffer idiopathic scoliosis. Her initial Cobb angles were
measured to be 32° right thoracic curve, with a 19° left lumbar prominence.
• Methods:
• Initial : Schroth based method of physical therapy - 2 d/w for 6 weeks - 1 hour
duration. Home exercise program (HEP) - 15 min of Schroth based exercises per day, 6
d/w. 23 hours Rosenberger brace.
• Phase 2: Decreased frequency – 1d/w for 10 weeks (increased independence in
technique efficiency and accuracy). HEP continued - 15 min/d for 6 d/w. Thoracic Cobb
angle improved from 32° to 21°, her lumbar curve remained at 19°
• Phase 3: 1d/2 weeks for 20 weeks. Schroth based method postures were progressed
and accessory exercises for core and total body strengthening were further
progressed. Thoracic Cobb angle had improved to 17° and her lumbar curvature
improved to 15°.
• Conclusion: Schroth based physical therapy method and 23-hour bracing were found to
be successful in significantly reducing Cobb angles in this case.
