This document discusses tuberculosis (TB), which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. It notes that India has the highest TB burden in the world, accounting for 20% of global cases. Over 1.8 million people develop TB in India each year, with over 5000 new cases and 2000 deaths daily. Skeletal TB, which affects the bones and joints, constitutes 1-3% of extra-pulmonary TB cases. The hip joint is the second most commonly affected osteoarticular site after the spine. Clinical features, investigations, radiographic findings, and management of TB of various bones and joints such as the spine, hip, knee, shoulder, and skull are described in detail.
Madelung deformity is an abnormality of the palmar ulnar part of the distal radial physis in which progressive ulnar and volar tilt develops at the distal radial articular surface, with dorsal subluxation of the distal ulna.
The Ilizarov apparatus is a type of external fixation used in orthopedic surgery to lengthen or reshape limb bones; as a limb-sparing technique to treat complex and/or open bone fractures; and in cases of infected nonunions of bones that are not amenable with other techniques. It is named after the orthopedic surgeon Gavriil Abramovich Ilizarov from the Soviet Union, who pioneered the technique.

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.

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.

NVBDCP.pptx Nation vector borne disease control programSapna Thakur
NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
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
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

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!
Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
2. Tuberculosis is a chronic
granulomatous infectious disease
caused by Mycobacterium
Tuberculosis (a gram positive acid fast
bacilli).
Transmitted through the air borne spread
of droplet nuclei produced by patients
with infectious pulmonary tuberculosis.
3. India: highest TB burden in world
(accounts for 1/5 (20%) of global burden)
Every year 1.8 millions develops TB
Every day about 5000 people
develop disease.
2 persons die of TB every 3 min.
More than 1000 people die every day.
4. Increased incidence has been noted
with prevalence of AIDS.
In India EPTB (extra pulmonary
tuberculosis) form 10-15% of all types of
TB.
Amongst EPTB, Lymph node TB is
the commonest.
TB of bone and joints constitutes 1-3% of
Extra-pulmonary TB of which the most
commonly involved is the Spine
constituting 50% of all Skeletal
Tuberculosis.
5. Skeletal tuberculosis (TB) refers to
TB involvement of the bones and/or
joints.
It is an ancient disease; features
of spinal TB have been
identified in Egyptian mummies
dating back to 9000 BC
7. Tubercular affection of joints:
Hip Joint
Knee joint and Triple deformity
Shoulder joint and Caries Sicca
Elbow joint, Wrist and Carpus, Sacroiliac
joints
Tubercular Osteomyelitis (Long and
Flat Bones)
Tubercular dactylitis (Spina Ventosa)
8. Insidious onset (c/w pyogenic infections)
Low grade fever
Weight loss
Night sweat
Movement restriction, muscle wasting, regional
lymph node involvement and neurologic
symptoms
Weight bearing joints like hip, knee and ankle
are commonly involved, though any part of the
skeleton can get involved
9.
10. Ball and socket type of synovial joint.
Fibrocartilaginous labrum attached to
acetabulum, makes the socket deeper.
Considerable part of articular surface of
spherical femoral head remains uncovered.
Opening of acetabulum directed laterally,
downwards
(300) and forward (300).
Femoral neck directed medially, upward
and anteriorly.
Angle of anteversion in adult 10-300, neck shaft
angle around 1250.

INTRODUCTIO
N:
PATHOGENESI
S:
• Invariably secondary to primary
site elsewhere (lungs, LNs of
mediastinum,mesentry or
cervical,kidney etc)
• The “tubercle” is the microscopic
pathological lesion with central
necrosis surrounded by epitheloid
cells, giant cells and mononuclear
cell.
13. Caseating exudative type: when
caseating necrosis and cold abscess
formation predominates
Proliferating type: where cellular proliferation
predominates with minimal caseation,
tuberculosis granuloma is the extreme form
of this type
(Former is common in children & latter in
adults)

15. Babcock's triangle :
A relatively radiolucent seen
on an anteroposterior
radiograph of the hip in the
subcapital region of the
fermoral head. It is an area
of loosely arranged
trabeculae noted between
the more radiodense lines
of the normal bony
trabeculae groups.
Tuberculosis of hip joint The
disease may start in
epiphysis, Babcock’s

prefer 9 months regime.
Both 6 and 9 months regime appear to
give acceptable relapse rates of within
2%.
Except in pediatric cases, relapses are not
drastically improved by extending treatment
to 12 months.
Prolonged treatment is indicated:
• If surgical debridement is indicated but
cannot be done.
• Co-existent HIV/AIDS also necessitate
prolonged treatment. (Interaction between 1st

subchondral bone of distal femora, proximal
tibia or patella.
69. Osteoporosis, soft tissue swelling, joint /
bursa effusion.
Distension of supra-patellar bursa on
lateral radiograph of knee
Infection in childhood can lead to accelerated
growth and maturation resulting in big
bulbous squared epiphysis
Widening of the inter-condylar notch
(synovitis)
71. Loss of definition of articular
surfaces
Marginal erosions
Decreased joint space
Osteoporosis

80.
81. Rare entity
More frequent in adults
Incidence of concomitant
pulmonary tuberculosis is high
The classical sites are:
head of humerus,
glenoid,
spine of the scapula,
acromio-clavicular joint,
coracoid process and rarely synovial
lesion.
82. Initial tubercular destruction is typically
widespread (because of the small
surface contact area of articular
cartilage)
Symptoms –
severe painful movement restriction
particularly abduction and external
83. Radiologically,
osteoporosis
erosion of articular margins (fuzzy)
osteolytic lesion involving head of
humerus, glenoid or both
The lesion may mimic giant cell tumor.
The joint space involvement and
capsular contracture are seen early in
the disease.
Sinus formation
Inferior subluxation of the humeral head
86. Atrophic type of tuberculosis of the shoulder
Benign course
Without pus formation
Small pitted erosions on the humeral head
Classical dry type is more common in adults
fulminating variety with cold abscess or
sinus formation is more common in
children
87. Caries sicca: there is erosion and
destruction of humoral head and glenoid
cavity with soft tissue swelling, along with
fibrotic opacites in the right upper and
88. Differential diagnosis -
Peri-arthritis of the shoulder
Rheumatoid arthritis
Post-traumatic shoulder stiffness
Aspiration of the shoulder and FNAC might
be necessary to establish the diagnosis.
The patients usually respond well to
anti- tubercular drugs.
89.
90. Tubercular dactylitis
primarily a disease of childhood
affects short tubular bones distal to tarsus
and wrist
bones of the hands are more frequently
affected than bones of the feet
proximal phalanx of the index and middle
fingers and metacarpals of the middle and ring
fingers being the most frequent locations
Frequently present as marked swelling on
the dorsum of the hand and soft tissue
abscess is normally a common feature
91.
92. Often follows a benign course without pyrexia
and acute inflammatory signs, as opposed to
acute osteomyelitis.
Plain radiography is the modality of choice
for evaluation and follow-up.
The radiographic features –
Cystic expansion of the short tubular bones
have led to the name of "spina ventosa" being
given to tubercular dactylitis of the short bones
of the hand.
spina - short bone and
ventosa - expanded withair
93. Bone destruction and fusiform expansion of
the bone
It is most marked in diaphysis of metacarpals
and metatarsals in children
Periosteal reaction and sequestra are
uncommon.
Healing is gradual by sclerosis.
Differential diagnosis –
Syphilitic dactylitis – bilateral and symmetric
involvement, more periostitis, less soft
tissue swelling.
Chronic pyogenic osteomyelitis and mycotic
96. • Rare entity
• May be localized and well
defined
• Or may be more diffuse
• Associated with cold abscess
97. 1)Lateral radiograph shows large circumscribed lytic lesion
in frontal bone
2)AP radiograph demonstrates a large frontoparietal lytic
lesion suggestive of diffuse spreading type
3) Frontal radiograph shows a lytic lesion with a sclerotic
margin
