This document summarizes a post graduate seminar on skeletal tuberculosis. It discusses the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, investigations and management of skeletal tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis commonly affects the lungs but can spread to bones and joints. Skeletal tuberculosis is transmitted through airborne droplets and causes chronic granulomatous lesions. Symptoms include low grade fever, pain and swelling. Investigations include x-rays showing bone destruction, biopsy to identify tubercles, and cultures. Treatment involves antitubercular drugs administered under DOTS guidelines for 6-8 months. Surgery may be needed for complications or neurological involvement. Proper treatment can cure tuberculosis in most cases.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
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.

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!
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.

Seminar on tb
1. POST GRADUATE SEMINAR
Topic:- Skeletal Tuberculosis-General Aspect
Date- 02-03-2016
Presenter- Moderator-
Dr. Baharul Islam Choudhury Dr. P.
Tahbildar
PGT, Orthopedics Proff & HOD
Date – 02- 03- 2016
2. It is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by bacteria of
“Mycobacterium Tuberculosis” complex.
The disease usually affects the lungs, although other organs like
viscera, spine,bone, joint, CNS, tendon sheath & bursae.
It is transmitted through the airborne spread of droplet nuclei
produced by patient with infectious Pulmn.TB.
If properly treated, it is curable in virtually all cases, but if
untreated, the disease may be fatal within 5 yrs in 50-60% of cases.
7. The etiological agent is ‘Mycobacterium Tuberculosis complex’.
These are aerobic, nonmotile, noncapsulated,
nonsporing.
These are rod shaped of about 3 by .5 micro m in
size occurring singly, in pairs or in small clumps.
These are called acid fast baciilli or ‘AFB’.
These are slow growing , generation time of
about 15-20 hrs.
Optimum temperature for growth is 37 deg.C
& growth does not occur < 25 deg & > 50 deg C.
8. PATHOLOGY & PATHOGENESIS
The skeletal TB is result from hematogenous dissemination from a
primarily infected focus.
Reaches the skeletal system through arteries or in axial skeleton
through ‘Batson’s plexus of veins’.
Simultaneous involvement of paradiscal part of 2 contiguous
vertebrae lends support to insemination of bacilli through common
blood supply to this region.
7% of cases of spinal TB had “skipped lesion” & 12% had
involvement of other bone & joints.
14. May resolve completely
May heal completely with residual deformity.
The lesion may be completely walled off & caseous tissue may be
calcified.
A low grade chronic fibromatous granulating lesion may persist with
grumbling activity.
The lesion may spread locally or systemically in immunocompromised
patient.
15. Draws the attention to a mild focus.
May activate a latent tubercular focus.
Repeated mechanical strain -> minor hematoma or bone marrow
edema -> determine the frequent localization.
16. Human immune response is very effective for which only 5%
develops clinically evident primary disease & further 5% so develops
post primary disease.
The helper subset of T-Lymphocytes is central to cell mediated
immunity against tuberculous infection.
17. Extensive surgery & use of metal implants offered a favorable nidus
for localization of circulating mycobacteria.
There is some inflammatory changes in the peri-implant tissue due
to immunological & macrophagic reaction offers a favorable nidus for
circulating mycobacteria.
18. TYPES OF THE DISEASE
A)- Caseous exudative type- Characterized by more
destruction, more exudation & abscess formation.
B)- Granular type- Less destructive & abscess formation is
rare.
The lesion in children is caseous exudative type, where as in
adult it is a granular type.
19. STAGES OF ARTICULAR TB
I Synovitis Movement > 75%, soft tissue swelling,
osteoporosis.
II Early arthritis Movement 50 – 75%, moderate diminution of joint
space & marginal erosion.
III Advanced
arthritis
Loss of movement > 75%, marked diminution of
joint space & destruction of joint surface.
IV Advanced
arthritis with
subluxation/defor
mity
Loss of movement > 75% , joint is disorganized
with subluxation / dislocation.
V Afterwarth of
gross arthritis
Gross deformity & ankylosis. Degenerative
osteoarthrosis.
20. TYPES OF SPINAL LESION
I)- Central type Skipped lesion in the vertebral column,
associated with tubercular meningitis due to
spread of infection through Batson’s
perivertebral plexus of vein.
II)- Paradiscal type Vertebral lesion associated with tubercular foci in the
extremities due to spread by way of arteries.
Destruction of adjacent bone end plate &
diminution of intervening disc.
III)- Anterior type Involvement of vertebral body due to extension of
abscess beneath the anterior longitudinal ligament &
the periosteum.
IV)- Posterior type Involvement of pedicle , laminae, transverse orocess
or spinous process.
28. MANTOUX TEST-
The test is of limited value in the diagnosis of active TB
because of its relatively low sensitivity & its specificity & its
inability to discriminate between latent infection & active disease.
Tuberculin test may be negative although active TB is
present in various conditions.
29. BIOPSY-
Whenever there is doubt it is mandatory to prove the diagnosis
by obtaining the diseased tissue ( granulation/ synovium/ bone/
lymph node).
Microscoping examination of aspiration cytology, core biopsy,
needle biopsy, open biopsy would reveal typical “tubercle”.
30. SYNOVIAL FLUID ANALYSIS-
Leucocytosis, (10 to 20 thousands per ml) in which
polymorphs predominates.
Glucose content is reduced, & protein is elevated with poor
mucin clot.
31. SMEAR & CULTURE-
Direct smear examination of the pathological material of cases
who were not on ATT may reveal AFB-
In the synovial fluid aspirate in 10%.
In the synovial tissue in 20%.
In regional lymph node in 30%.
Culture may be positive in 30 to 60% of such material. But it generally
takes 8 weeks.
32. ISOTOPE SCINTIGRAPHY-
99mTc, 67Ga, & 111In are the currently utilized isotopes.
Sensitivity is very high but lack of specificity.
A positive scan localize the suspicious region for future
observation & identifying an easily accessible site for tissue
diagnosis.
33. SEROLOGICAL IVVESTIGATION-
ELISA for antibody to mycobacterial antigen -6 has
sensitivity of 94% & specificity of 100% in the serological diagnosis
of bone & joint TB.
PCR method gives 40% sensitivity & 100 % specificity. It
may be positive even if mycobacterium is dead , formalin preserved
Or test material contain fragment of bacterium.
34. INVESTIGATION
CT- SCAN-
>Demonstrate small destroyed areas, marginal erosion much
before than X-ray.
> Demonstrate the soft tissue swelling.
> Good choice for detecting disease in difficult areas.
> CT guided needle biopsy is very effective for obtaining tissues
for pathological & microbiological diagnosis.
35. INVESTIGATION
MRI-
Shows the predestructive lesions,
Encroachment of vertebral canal, displacement of the dural sheath,
localized tuberculoma, generalized granuloma, shrinkage of the cord
substance. Myelitis can be appreciated by the study of T1 & Ta-
weighted images.
Suggest the nature
of soft tissue mass.
36. INVESTIGATION
USG-
Estimate the presence of soft tissue abscess & its
behavior under treatment.
May be an ideal first line investigation for tubercular
tenosynovitis.
37. NATURAL COURSE OF SKELETAL TB WITHOUT
CHEMOTHERAPY
Before the availability of ATT osteoarticular TB passed
through three stages spanned over a period of 3 to 5 yrs.
> Stage of onset- with localized swelling, localized
osteoporosis but minimal destruction.
> Stage of destruction- Gross destruction of joint
with deformity, subluxation, cotractures & abscess
formation. There may be dissemination of disease which
leads to death of nearly 1/3rd of patient.
> Stage of repair & ankylosis- The abscess resorbed,
sinus underwent healing, remineralization of bone &
fusion & deformity of joint.
38. EVOLUTION OF TREATMENT OF SKELETAL TB
The availability of ATT (1948-51) , divides the treatment of TB into 2
eras.
(i) Pre-antitubercular era- Patient were treated either by orthodox
conservative regime or by various operative procedure.
(ii) Post-antitubercular era- Two different lines of treatment-
> Operative in all cases in conjunction with ATT.
> ATT in all cases with operation for failure or complications.
