Septic arthritis is a medical emergency that occurs when a joint becomes infected with bacteria. It can cause rapid joint destruction if not treated promptly. The knee is the most commonly infected joint. Staphylococcus aureus is the primary causative organism. Symptoms include pain, swelling, fever and inability to move the affected joint. Diagnosis involves blood tests, joint fluid analysis and imaging. Treatment requires antibiotics as well as surgical drainage and debridement of the infected joint. Prognosis depends on early diagnosis and treatment to prevent permanent joint damage.
Tendoachilles rupture and its managementRohan Vakta
Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon of body. There are many causes of its rupture. It can be acute or chronic rupture. Management of chronic rupture by semitendinosus tendon is mentioned here.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disorder of synovial joints in which there is progressive softening and erosion/disintegration of the articular cartilage. In the presentation, I will deal in detail about the condition in every dimension with the most recent evidence.

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

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

35. Classification by G¨achter
Arthroscopic classification of joint infections
Stage I
opacity of fluid, redness of the synovial membrane, possible petechial bleeding, no
radiological alterations
Stage II Severe inflammation, fibrinous deposition, pus, no radiological alterations
Stage III thickening of the synovial membrane, compartment formation, no radiological alterations
Stage IV
aggressive pannus with infiltration of the cartilage, undermining the cartilage,
radiological signs of subchondral osteolysis, possible osseous erosions and cysts
36. Rehabilitation
• Suction drains were removed after surgery depending on volume of fluid
drained
• Mobilization from 1st day after surgery with partial NWBC for 3/52
• Continuous passive motion
• IV antibiotics followed by oral administration for duration minimum 4weeks
37. COMPLICATION
• Bone destruction and dislocation of the joint
• Cartilage destruction
• May lead to either fibrosis or bony ankylosis
• In adult, partial destruction of the joint will result in secondary OA
• Growth disturbance
• Presenting as either localised deformity or shortening of the bone
38. Hip septic arthritis in paediatric
Epidemiology
• Demographics
• Incidence
• peaks in the first few years of life
• Age
• 50% of cases occur in children younger than 2 years of
age
39. • Location
• hip joint involved in 35% of all cases of septic arthritis
• Risk factors for neonatal septic arthritis
• prematurity
• cesarean section
40. Pathophysiology• Routes of inoculation
• Direct inoculation from trauma or surgery
• Hematogenous seeding
• Extension from adjacent bone
• can develop from contiguous spread of osteomyelitis
• often from metaphysis
• common in neonates who have transphyseal vessels that allow spread into the joint
• joints with intra-articular metaphysis include
• hip
• shoulder
• elbow
• ankle
• (not the knee)
42. Prognosis
• Good unless dx is delayed
• Poor indicator
• age < 6 months
• associated osteomyelitis
• hip joint (versus knee)
• delay >4 days until presentation
43. Presentation
• History
• similar to history of osteomyelitis
• history of rash and swollen lymph nodes are associated with other conditions in the differential
diagnosis and are not expected findings of septic arthritis
• vaccination history must be obtained
• Symptoms
• presents more acutely than osteomyelitis
• often associated with fever and other systemic symptoms causing toxic appearance
• children refuse to walk or move their hip
44.
45. • Physical exam
• Inspection and Palpation
• localized swelling
• effusion, tenderness, and warmth
• hip rests in a position of flexion, abduction, and external rotation
• hip capsular volume is maximized with flexion, abduction, and external rotation
and is the position of comfort for hip septic arthritis
• Range of motion
• severe pain with passive motion
• unwillingness to move joint (pseudoparalysis)
• examine adjacent joints
• must rule out adjacent joint involvement
46. Imaging
• Xray
• Rocommended view
• AP and frog leg lateral pelvic view
• Findings
• may be normal, especially in early stages of disease
• often see widening of the joint space, subluxation, or dislocation
• in infants, prior to ossification of the femoral head, widening of joint space can be seen by lateral
displacement of the proximal femur
• may see bone involvement with associated osteomyelitis
47.
48.
49. Evaluation (Koc’her Classifications)
• Must distinguish from transient synovitis
• Probabilty of septic arthritis ranged as high as 99.6% when all four criteria below are present
q
• WBC > 12,000 cells/µl
• Inability to bear weight
• Fever > 101.3° F (38.5° C)
• ESR > 40 mm/h
• CRP > 2.0 (mg/dl) is an independent risk factor (not included in studies of the previous 4
criteria)
• CRP > 2.0 (mg/dl) in combination with refusal to bear weight yields a 74% probability of septic
arthritis
• Order of sensitivity of above criteria: q
• Fever > CRP > ESR > refusal to bear weight > WBC
51. Treatment
• Non-operative
• Antibiotics alone
• Indications
• adolescent Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection
• can be treated with large doses of penicillin alone and usually does not
require surgical debridement
• Operative
• Emergent surgical I&D
• indications
• standard of care for almost all septic joints
• considered a surgical emergency due to chondrolytic effect of pus

• Splint the affected joint in a functional position for the first few
days after a diagnosis of septic arthritis (SA).
• Encourage early passive range of motion to stretch tendons and
prevent contractures.
