MRI can provide valuable information in acute ischemic stroke by identifying areas of acute infarction and potentially salvageable tissue. DWI sequences are highly sensitive for detecting acute ischemic lesions which appear bright, while ADC maps show corresponding acute lesions as dark. The DWI-FLAIR mismatch technique aims to identify the ischemic penumbra but has limitations. MR perfusion is better able to delineate the ischemic core and penumbra and identify patients most likely to benefit from reperfusion therapies up to 48 hours from onset. MRI also detects hemorrhages, characterizes vessel pathology, and aids in diagnosis of stroke mimics. In this case, MRI with DWI showed a small acute lesion in an 85-year-old male who presented with

This document discusses pediatric perinatal insult known as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). It describes the pathophysiology of HIE, which involves diminished cerebral blood flow and reduced oxygenation. Imaging findings vary depending on factors like brain maturity, severity, and timing. Ultrasound, CT and MRI can detect abnormalities. On MRI, diffusion weighted imaging is most sensitive in the first 24 hours. Common patterns of injury include deep gray matter structures in preterm neonates and central gray matter in term neonates with severe asphyxia. Mild/moderate insults in preterms may cause intraventricular hemorrhage or periventricular leukomalacia. Imaging can detect injury and help assess prognosis.
1. The document discusses the anatomy and imaging features of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cisterns and spaces. It describes the locations and contents of various cisterns such as the interpeduncular, chiasmatic, crural, ambient and cerebellomedullary cisterns.
2. Imaging findings of different pathological conditions are presented, including benign external hydrocephalus, subdural hematoma, hydrocephalus, atrophy and periventricular leukomalacia. Key distinguishing features between these entities are highlighted.
3. An overview of CSF spaces is given, outlining the appearance of normal, atrophic and edematous/hydrocephalic states.
1) Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays in 1895 and Arthur Schiiller studied skull X-rays systematically, establishing neuroradiology. 2) Advances like ventriculography and cerebral angiography in the early 20th century allowed visualization of the brain. 3) Magnetic resonance imaging was developed in the 1940s-1980s and became the preferred method for evaluating brain tumors due to its superior soft tissue contrast compared to CT.

imaging in neurology - demyelinating diseasesNeurologyKota
This document discusses various demyelinating diseases that can be imaged in neurology. It provides images and descriptions of findings for multiple sclerosis, ADEM, NMO spectrum disorder, Susac syndrome, CLIPPERS, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis, acute necrotizing encephalopathy, and osmotic demyelination syndrome. It compares imaging features of MS and NMOSD that can help differentiate the two conditions. The document also discusses variants of MS like Marburg disease, Schilder disease, and Balo concentric sclerosis.
This document discusses differentiating between pilonidal sinus and fistula in ano using imaging. A pilonidal sinus presents with natal cleft sepsis extending to the coccyx or sacrum, without intersphincteric sepsis or enteric communication. A fistula in ano presents with intersphincteric sepsis and may have enteric communication, perianal/ischioanal/supralevator sepsis. The case presented is of a 26-year old female with natal cleft sepsis extending to the left labia without intersphincteric involvement, consistent with pilonidal sinus.
Cardiac MRI can be used to evaluate ischemic heart disease in several ways:
1. Perfusion imaging with contrast can identify areas of reduced blood flow to the heart muscle during stress testing to detect blockages.
2. Late gadolinium enhancement reveals areas of injured or dead heart muscle through enhanced areas on imaging. This can help assess viability after heart attacks.
3. Functional imaging sequences like cine can evaluate the heart's structure, motion, and pumping ability to see effects of heart disease like reduced ejection fraction or wall thinning.
The document describes the major blood vessels that supply the brain. The common carotid arteries and vertebro-basilar arteries provide oxygenated blood to the head and neck. These vessels form a circle known as the Circle of Willis at the base of the brain, which allows for collateral blood flow if one portion of the circle is blocked. The main arteries that branch off from the circle include the anterior cerebral artery, middle cerebral artery, and posterior cerebral artery, each supplying different regions of the brain. The lenticulostriate arteries are also described as smaller deep penetrating vessels.
1. Fat stranding refers to abnormal increased attenuation of fat seen on CT scans that is caused by edema and engorgement of lymphatics due to inflammation.
2. Common causes of fat stranding include diverticulitis, epiploic appendagitis, omental infarction, appendicitis, bowel ischemia, and malignancy. Diverticulitis is suggested by disproportionate fat stranding greater than bowel wall thickening.
3. CT findings help differentiate the causes, such as seeing the characteristic appearances of epiploic appendagitis, omental infarction, and appendicitis that include focal fatty masses and central dots.
Brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVM) are abnormal connections of arteries and veins in the brain, forming a tangled web of vessels instead of a normal capillary network treated with multimodalities including, SRS, embolisation and Microneurosurgery.
This slides updates the management of AVM highlighting the importance of SM grading, Pollock radiation grading etc.
MRI is the gold standard for diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS). It can detect focal demyelinating lesions appearing as hyperintense areas on T2-weighted MRI. Different MRI sequences like T1, T2, FLAIR, and gadolinium contrast help identify lesions at various stages. MS lesions typically occur in periventricular white matter, corpus callosum, brainstem, and spinal cord. Advanced MRI techniques like MTR, DTI, and MRS provide additional insights into MS pathology by detecting subtle tissue damage. MRI plays a key role in the diagnostic criteria for MS by demonstrating dissemination of lesions in space and time. It is also used as an outcome measure in clinical trials to monitor
Dandy-Walker Malformation: Classification and ManagementDr. Shahnawaz Alam
Dandy-Walker malformation is a congenital brain abnormality where the cerebellum and fourth ventricle are abnormally developed. It ranges in severity from mild vermian hypoplasia to more severe presentations with cyst formation. Treatment involves managing hydrocephalus with ventriculoperitoneal shunting, though some mild cases require no treatment. Complications can include herniation of brain structures if only certain areas are shunted, so simultaneous dual shunting of the lateral ventricles and fourth ventricle cyst may be preferable. Long term outcomes depend on severity but can include normal intelligence if the malformation is mild without other brain anomalies.

This document discusses thermal ablation as an alternative to surgery for treating great saphenous veins. It notes that randomized trials show thermal ablation is at least non-inferior to surgery for procedural success and clinical outcomes, with improved patient quality of life. The advantages of thermal ablation are outlined as being totally outpatient, avoiding sutures and reducing risks of infection, lymphatic damage, and limitations from anticoagulation. Key steps for performing thermal ablation are described, including patient selection, setting, ultrasound use, catheter placement skills, tumescent anesthesia, and ensuring sufficient heat delivery to the vein wall for durable success. Various technologies for heat delivery are mentioned, and segmental ablation is noted to allow faster patient recovery compared
This document discusses various treatment options for varicose veins, including conservative management using compression bandages and stockings, medications to improve lymph flow and protect veins, sclerotherapy to harden problematic veins, and surgical procedures such as vein ligation and stripping. More minimally invasive options like endovenous laser ablation and radiofrequency ablation are also covered, which involve inserting a laser or radiofrequency catheter into the vein to cause thermal damage and occlusion. All treatments have potential complications like pain, bruising, bleeding, or deep vein thrombosis.
Varicose Veins were first documented by Sushrutha in India as "Siragranthi". The first surgery for varicose veins was described by Galen in 2nd century AD. Varicose veins are dilated, elongated and tortuous superficial veins caused by venous hypertension due to valvular incompetence or obstruction. Investigations like Doppler ultrasound and air plethysmography help in diagnosis. Management includes conservative measures, sclerotherapy, surgery like vein stripping or ligation of saphenofemoral junction, and newer minimally invasive procedures like radiofrequency ablation and endovenous laser ablation.

1) Entrapment neuropathies occur when nerves are injured by chronic compression, angulations, or stretching forces, causing mechanical damage. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an example where the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist.
2) Clinical features of entrapment neuropathies include pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and weakness in the affected area. Electrodiagnostic tests like nerve conduction studies and electromyography are important diagnostically.
3) Treatment involves conservative measures like splinting, steroid injections, and physical therapy. Surgery is considered if conservative treatment fails or for severe cases. Proper identification of the site of nerve entrapment is key to determining appropriate treatment
This document discusses avascular necrosis of the femoral head, also known as osteonecrosis. It begins by defining avascular necrosis as a pathological process resulting from interrupted blood supply to the bone. It then covers the epidemiology, risk factors, imaging findings, staging systems, pathophysiology, and treatment options. The main treatment approaches discussed are non-operative options like restricted weight bearing, lipid lowering agents, and external modalities; as well as operative options like core decompression and various bone grafting procedures.
1. Interspinous process spacers are implants placed between adjacent lumbar spinous processes as a less invasive alternative to spinal fusion surgery. They are designed to preserve motion while reducing pain by decreasing pressure on spinal discs and facets.
2. Biomechanical studies show that spacers reduce intradiscal pressure and facet joint contact area at implanted levels without affecting adjacent segments. Clinical reports also suggest spacers provide short-term symptom improvement for appropriately selected patients.
3. However, concerns exist that the spacers may cause local pain over time and weaken spinal stability by disrupting ligaments and maintaining facet joints in distraction. Further research is still needed to establish the long-term efficacy and safety of interspin
Spondyloptosis, or complete anterior translation of L5 below the sacrum, is a challenging pathology for spinal surgeons. There is no consensus on the ideal treatment. Surgical techniques proposed include complete or partial reduction with instrumentation and fusion, in situ fusion without reduction, and posterior osteotomies. The staged reduction method using external fixation described allows gradual reduction under assessment of neurological status to reduce risks. While reduction aims to restore alignment, it risks neurological injury, and in situ fusion is a safer alternative with similar outcomes when reduction is not necessary.
The document summarizes the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of concomitant injuries to the peroneus brevis tendon and lateral ankle ligaments. It describes how an inversion ankle sprain can cause tears in the superior peroneal retinaculum, allowing the peroneus brevis tendon to ride over the sharp edge of the fibula and develop a longitudinal split. Patients experience retromalleolar pain and recurrent ankle instability. Diagnosis is made using MRI or ultrasound. Treatment involves surgical repair of both the tendon tear and ligament injuries through reconstruction of the superior peroneal retinaculum and anatomical reconstruction of the lateral ankle ligaments.
Teriparatide in Avascular Necrosis .pptxNamanSharda2
Teriparatide, a parathyroid hormone analogue, shows promise in treating avascular necrosis (AVN). A retrospective study found teriparatide treatment led to less collapse of the femoral head compared to alendronate over 18 months. Case reports also found teriparatide improved pain and mobility in a patient with severe AVN, and promoted healing of an osteoporosis-induced mandible fracture. While evidence is limited, teriparatide may reduce progression of AVN and promote bone regeneration through its anabolic effects on bone.

A Case Report of Bilateral Trigeminal Neuralgia Combined with Bilateral Gloss...Crimsonpublisherssmoaj
A Case Report of Bilateral Trigeminal Neuralgia Combined with Bilateral Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia by Ahmed N Ghanem* in Crimson Publishers: Open access journal of surgery impact factor
The patient was a 63-year-old-aged female, who experienced 7 years of bilateral cheek and oropharyngeal burning and stabbing pain. Touching the mouth and bilateral throat or swallowing could provoke the pain. Each episode of pain lasted a few seconds to a few minutes, and in severe cases could last for hours. Oral administration of carbamazepine and radiofrequency treatment before hospitalization had only poor effects. We diagnosed the patient as bilateral trigeminal neuralgia combined with bilateral glossopharyngeal neuralgia. After hospitalization, brain MRI examination was performed and did not reveal any occupational lesions. The bilateral pain of pharyngeal pain disappeared after the treatment of 1% butanocaine respectively, and this confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral glossopharyngeal neuralgia. The patient complained that the pain of right side was more serious than the other side.

Tips and tricks to site and maintain nerve cathetersAmit Pawa
This lecture was given on Friday 13th September 2019 at the annual congress of the European Society of Regional Anaesthesia in Bilbao and Spain. The talk was also contributed to by the Twitter Community. Strategies and techniques to site, secure and maintain perineural nerve catheters is discussed
This document discusses different types of anesthesia for hip fracture repair surgery in elderly patients. It outlines regional (spinal, epidural) and general anesthesia options. Regional anesthesia may reduce risks of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and short-term mortality compared to general anesthesia. However, patient comorbidities and methodology limitations of studies make the evidence inconclusive. The document also considers anesthesia perspectives, patient perspectives, and factors influencing the chosen anesthesia method for individual cases.
This document discusses evidence-based medicine (EBM) and summarizes several studies comparing different treatment methods for distal femur fractures. EBM aims to optimize patient care by emphasizing evidence from well-designed research. Several articles compare outcomes of internal fixation with intramedullary nails versus locking plates. In general, nails provide better callus formation, stiffness, and less micromotion at the fracture site, while plates have higher nonunion rates and require more secondary procedures. Retrograde nailing appears to have advantages for distal femur fractures, including improved alignment and reduced complications.
Laminoplasty is a technique to surgically expand the spinal canal for patients with cervical myelopathy. A retrospective study of 20 patients who underwent open-door laminoplasty found:
1) The mean preoperative neurological grade improved from 3 to 1.6 postoperatively based on the Nurick scale.
2) Complications were minor and included one CSF leak and one superficial wound infection.
3) Based on Odom's criteria, 20 patients had good to fair outcomes with relief of symptoms and improved neurological findings.
This document discusses mandibular condylar fractures, including:
1. It provides an overview of the etiology, classification, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of mandibular condylar fractures.
2. Treatment protocols for geriatric and pediatric patients are also discussed.
3. The indications and contraindications of closed and open reduction and fixation techniques for condylar fractures are analyzed in detail.
This document provides an overview of nerve compression syndromes, including their pathophysiology, clinical presentation, assessment, and management. It discusses how nerve compression can lead to neuropathic pain through mechanisms like ischemia, inflammation, and central nervous system changes. Common compression neuropathies like carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica are mentioned. The document emphasizes that entrapment neuropathies have complex presentations that do not always clearly fit the grading criteria for neuropathic pain. A thorough clinical assessment including history, exam, and provocation tests is important for diagnosis.

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.
