High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a common and widely accepted procedure in orthopaedic surgery. In the literature, we find descriptions of the technique dating back to the 50s, with Jackson (Jackson, 1958). However, it was not until the 70s, with the publications of Conventry (Coventry, 1969 and 1973) and Insall (Insall, 1975), that proximal tibial osteotomy became common practice as a treatment option for medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee usually associated to varus deformity. At that time, closing wedge osteotomies were performed, despite the greater technical difficulty and risks involved, as there were no fixation materials available that could enable opening wedge osteotomy. Only after the development of medial wedge plate fixation that opening wedge osteotomy became applicable (Puddu, 2004).
The goals of HTO are:
1. To reduce knee pain by transferring weight-bearing loads to the relatively unaffected compartment;
2. To increase the life span of the knee joint, by slowing or stopping the destruction of the medial joint compartment. This could delay the need of a joint replacement.

Rotator Cuff Update 2022 for Medbelle Len Funk.pptxLennard Funk
the common questions patients will ask once they have had a scan and a tear has been reported, particularly if they have had no injury of trauma, they ask what caused my tear. If I have a tear what can you do to fix it, it’s got to be fixed. How can I get better if it is not fixed. I have already had physiotherapy and that didn’t fix it so how will more physiotherapy. Some patients who are not keen on surgery, do I really need to have an operation. I have not had an injury.
there are multiple options thrown into the mix here which we need to consider for an individual patient.
The below illustration shows a very rough decision making tool that I would use in determining surgical or treatment options for particular patients.
A younger patient who has both pain and weakness with a massive cuff tear, if it is partially repairable a biological augment would be suitable.
If their predominant weakness is external rotation i.e. a positive Hornblower sign but good elevation, a lat dorsi tendon transfer.
For an older patient who has a predominant weakness but no significant pain, deltoid rehabilitation programme is indicated.
If they do have pain, a suprascapular nerve procedure such as an ablation would be beneficial.
For those that have significant pain and weakness with failed non-operative options, a reverse shoulder replacement would be the best option.
The balloon as we said, has a very limited place and this is for the older patient with slight loss of function and pain with higher demands.
For those that have more significant pain and elevation weakness, a superior capsular reconstruction would be my preferred option.
Should We Repair Rotator Cuff Tears OPN 2017.pdfLennard Funk
Lennard Funk & Puneet Monga
Prepared for Orthopaedic Product News, 2017
Rotator cuff disease is very common. There is as much enthusiastic discussion and debate on its management as there was 80 years ago when Codman (1937) first described the pathology and surgical management. There is great variation amongst surgeons as to the management of rotator cuff tears biased by experience and their understanding of the literature, skills levels and regional variations. There has been a lot of research done on the pathology, non-operative and operative treatments over the last two decades. Also, over the last decade there have been massive strides in the development of new surgical techniques and technologies. However, despite these advances there is as much discussion and debate!

Cautious optimism following SCR may be offered to this challenging subset of patients with symptomatic irreparable rotator cuff tears. It is likely that the relatively low re-operation rates can be further improved by considering the negative prognostic factors in defining indications for surgery. Further studies with longer term followup are recommended.
Isolated scapula pain is uncommon, but very difficult to diagnose and manage. In this presentation I run through the known causes and an approach to the diagnosis, in order to guide best treatment.
The Incidence of Traumatic Posterior and Combined Labral Tears in Patients Un...Lennard Funk
Presentation at ISAKOS, 2019
There were 442 primary arthroscopic labral repair procedures performed over the three-year period. The total cohort had a mean age of 25.91±9.09 years (range, 14-67 years) and consisted of 89.6% males. There was no significant difference in mean age or gender between the isolated anterior, posterior or combined groups (p=0.383 and p=0.541, respectively).
• Of the 442 patients who underwent a shoulder labral repair, isolated anterior labral pathology occurred in 52.9% (n=234), with posterior and combined labral tears accounting for 16.3% (n=72) and 30.8%, respectively (n=136) (Table 3).
• Patients were stratified as either sporting or non-sporting; 74.9% of patients were categorised as sporting (n=331) and had a mean age of 24.91±5.69 years, which was significantly lower than the mean age of 35.40±11.94 years in the non-sporting population (p<0.001). In the non-sporting population 68.5% (n=76) of patients had isolated anterior labral tears with 12.6% (n=14) posterior and 18.9% (n=21) combined. In the sporting population isolated anterior labral tears accounted for 47.7% (n=158), posterior 17.5% (n=58) and combined labral tears 34.7% (n=115). The sporting population had a significantly greater proportion of posterior and combined labral tears with the non-sporting population a significantly greater proportion of anterior labral tears (p=0.013).
• Rugby players had the greatest incidence of shoulder instability within the sporting cohort accounting for 231 cases. Of the 231 cases, 47.2% were isolated anterior labral tears, 12.6% isolated posterior and 40.3% combined lesions.
Posterior and combined shoulder labral tears are more prevalent than previously reported in the civilian population. The rates are higher in young, sporting populations and especially in contact sports such as rugby.
Pectoralis major allograft reconstructionLennard Funk
Presentation at ISAKOS, 2019
We performed a total of 142 pectoralis major repairs over a ten year period, of which 19 required allograft reconstruction. Of these 19 patients, 11 were available for response. All 11 patients were male with a mean age of 38.3 years (21 to 48 years). The mean time between injury and surgery was 12.2 months (4 to 30 months). Ten patients (91%) were unable to perform their previous level of work pre-operatively, with all patients returning to pre-injury occupation levels post-operatively.
The main complaint prior to surgery was pain on pushing and moving the affected arm across the body, which improved in nine patients (82%), with no improvement reported in two patients. Strength improved significantly post-operatively, with only three patients reporting no improvement (paired t-test p=0.01). Six patients reported an improvement in cosmesis (50%).
Hydrodistention is a treatment for frozen shoulder (FS) that is gaining popularity again. However, no large, long-term outcome data has been published yet. Our aims were to evaluate hydrodistension for the treatment of primary frozen shoulder (FS) in a large cohort of patients with long follow-up period.
We present a case series of eighty-nine patients (36 males and 53 females) with a mean age of 52 years (33-73). Eleven (12.4%) had disease associations. We excluded post-operative secondary stiff shoulders. The mean volume injected was 33.7ml (16-66). 36/89 (40%) had capsular rupture. Six (6.7%) had adverse effects. The mean follow-up was 104.5 weeks (8-238).
Mean improvement in forward flexion was 165.4, abduction 111.6, external rotation was hand above head with elbow back (and internal rotation in extension to T12. Mean improvement in quickDASH score was 17.1 (p<0.001) and Constant Score was 70.0 (p<0.001). Mean improvement in VAS was 7.3 (p<0.001). No patients had night pain (p<0.001). Eighty-eight (99%) returned to their previous occupation. Seventy-six (85%) returned to their previous level of sport. Gender, previous intra-articular steroid injection, volume of the injectate, type of steroid used, capsular rupture and underlying aetiology had no impact on outcome.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
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).

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
