This group project that a couple of my classmates and I did explains everything you need to know about ankle sprains. It covers from how bad of an ankle sprain it is, to the tendons, muscles, and bones that were involved. It even describes treatment and recovery time.
Shin splints are injuries to the front of the outer leg. They are medically known as Tenoperiostitis of the shin, meaning inflammation to the tendon and muscle tissue attached to the bone. Shin splints belong to a group of injuries called overuse injuries. They occur most commonly in runners.
The pain associated with shin splints is a result of fatigue or trauma to the muscle tissue surrounding the tibia. In an effort to keep the foot, ankle and lower leg stable, the muscles exert a great force on the tibia. The result is an inflammatory response.
There are many causes of shin splints, but they most commonly occur in cases of overuse or overload training and poor biomechanics...

Sports injuries are injuries that occur when engaging in sports or exercise. Sports injuries can occur due to overtraining, lack of conditioning, and improper form or technique. Failing to warm up increases the risk of sports injuries. Bruises, strains, sprains, tears, and broken bones can result from sports injuries.
"Knee locking" is quite literally when your knee locks up momentarily, inhibiting your ability to move in any direction. This can also be described as "catching" where it feels as if your knee gets caught during extension or flexion, the knee
"giving out," or as a popping sensation with knee movement. Unfortunately, there is no "key" or secret trick to unlock your knee joint, though various treatments exist to help with knee locking symptoms.

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

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

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)
One of the most developed cities of India, the city of Chennai is the capital of Tamilnadu and many people from different parts of India come here to earn their bread and butter. Being a metropolitan, the city is filled with towering building and beaches but the sad part as with almost every Indian city
2. Rolling your ankle is called a “sprain”.
A sprain occurs when a ligament, (the
fibrous tissue that connects bone to bone
in a joint), is stretched beyond its normal
capacity and is damaged.
The most common ankle sprain out there
is called a lateral ankle sprain
3. Athletes involved in sports requiring quick
changes in direction are at a higher risk of
developing an ankle sprain
Athletes have to cut and pivot on a dime in
many sports like basketball, football,
tennis, soccer, and volleyball
An ankle sprain happens when the
athletes ankle twists, usually a loud snap
or crack and then sudden pain will occur
4. The ligaments will be stretched and have
slight tears.
There will be swelling and mild tenderness
around the ankle.
Walking will cause minimal pain.
6. This is the most serve sprain in the ankle
Ligaments will be completely torn and will
be very tender when touched
The ankle will be very unstable and
walking will be difficult to no use at all
7. Talocrural joint (ankle joint), Tibia, Fibula,
Talus bones
The main articulation is between the Talus
and Tibia
Calcaneus
8. There are three major ligaments on the
lateral side of the ankle.
The Anterior Talofibular Ligament which
runs from the fibula to the talus in a
horizontal fashion.
Posterior Talofibular Ligamanet and if this
one is torn it’s a grade 3 ankle sprain
Calcaneofibular Ligament
9. The most common mechanism of an ankle
injury is inversion of the plantar-flexed foot.
This causes damage to the lateral ligament
complex
10. The ankle should be stable and recover in
seven to ten days.
The swelling will go down
You will be able to put weight on the
injured ankle
You will have full range of motion in the
ankle
You will be able to participate in light
physical activity Ex. Running, jumping
11. This can keep you out for a month or
longer.
Often associated with large amounts of
swelling and even bleeding in the joint
12. This causes enormous amounts of
swelling and bleeding
You may need surgery if there is too much
instability
You will be out for a couple month to a
year if needing surgery
You will also be more likely to re-injure the
ankle down the line
13. Like most common injuries the first aid
treatment for ankle sprains is rest, ice,
compression, and elevation (RICE).
This should minimize the bleeding and
swelling that occur in and about the ankle
joint.
Controlling the swelling significantly
reduces recovery time
14. For 1st and 2nd degree sprains an air-cast
or gel-cast ankle brace is very useful
This is made of 2 plastic shells containing
air or gel-filled bladders, which are
arranged on either side of the ankle and
held in place by a flat stirrup that fits inside
the shoe and straps around the ankle
15. With these ankle braces each step you
take releases the bladders causing a
change of pressure
That pressure helps force out some of the
swelling around the ankle
The brace also prevents painful pronation
and supination while allowing for nearly full
flexion/extension
16. This aims at restoring full range of motion,
the normal levels of strength and
endurance, and position sense, or
proprioception
It is very important to maintain overall body
flexibility and strength while the athlete is
injured and recuperating
Swimming is a great solution to not
become deconditioned during this time
17. Resisted Plantar flexion
- While sitting on the floor, loop a resistance
band around the barefoot and gold onto its
ends.
- Plantar flex the foot slowly then allow for it to
slowly return back to a resting position.
- Aim for 10-15 reps with 3 sets.
- Once this exercise feels easy, increase the
strength of the resistance bands.
18. Resisted Eccentric Inversion
- Particularly important in helping to
prevent injury from reoccurring.
- Athlete attempts to resist the therapist
from everting the foot.
- This strengthens the muscles which
stabilize the ankle at the point where
rollover/sprain would occur.
- Resistance should be gradually
increased.
19. Calf Raises
- This will strengthen the calf and
gastrocnemius muscles.
- Aim for 3 sets of 10 and build up steadily.
- Once this becomes easy, start performing
the exercise on one leg only.
20. Active Planter Flexion and Dorsiflexion
- While sitting down with foot elevated and
ankle iced, pull foot up as far as it will go and
hold it for a couple of seconds, then point
your foot down as far as it will go and hold it
for a couple of seconds. Repeat these actions
for a couple of reps.
- Advantage of these exercises is that the
damaged ligaments will not be stressed by
sideways movements. Also, the calf and shin
muscles maintain strength and the blood flow
helps to decrease swelling.
21. Active Inversion and Eversion
- This exercise should only be done when
pain is decreased and healing is
established.
- Turn the foot so they turn inward then
outward.
- Movement should be gradual, slow, and
within limits of pain.
- Circular motions of the ankle can also
establish these movements.
22. Gastrocnemius Stretch
- Place the leg to be stretched behind and
lean forward against the wall for support,
ensuring that the hell is kept in contact with
the floor.
- Hold stretch for 20-30 seconds and
repeat 3 times (can be repeated multiple
times daily).
- Stretch should be felt at the back of the
lower leg.
