Surgical approaches in orthopaedics- General principlesDr.A.Mohan krishna
This is a short educational presentation fresh junior registrars in orthopaedics covering general principles of surgical approaches in orthopaedics.
The presentation gives brief idea of surgical principles to be followed while preparing for general orthopedic surgeries.
Avascular necrosis (AVN) or Aseptic Necrosis of the hip is caused by a disruption to the hip’s blood supply which results in the deterioration and often collapse of the ball of the thigh bone (femoral head). Early identification and treatment of the condition increases the likelihood that a patient’s hip will recover. Surgery may be required in severe cases to repair or revascularize (restore circulation) the hip or to replace the hip in neglected/end stage cases.

Introduction:
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common disorders of the knee. The knee is involved in around 10% of all sporting injuries.
Tria and Alica, described Wiberg classification of patella facet shapes, and there is another classification based on Morphology ratio.
The purpose of this case control study is comparison between the different morphologic types of the patella (Wiberg classification and morphology Ratio) in patients with chondromalacia and normal persons.
Patients & Methods:
In this study we evaluated 30 limbs in 30 patients with chondromalacia (20 females, 10 males ). Medial and lateral facets were calculated on patellar knee view. Also patellar articular length and overall patellar length were calculated in knee joint in 30 flexion. The results were compared to values obtained from 30 limbs in 30 healthy volunteers.
Results:
In Wiberg classification, 57% of normal persons had patella type I while 17% of patients with chondromolacia had this type (p=0.01). Also 43% of normal persons had patella type II while 83% of patients had this type (p= 0.01).
In Morphology ratio classification, 40% of normal persons had patella type II while 13% of patients had this type (p=0.02). Also none of normal persons had patella type III while 13% of patients had this type (p=0.03).
Discussion:
A variety of sports commonly lead to chondromoalacia patella due to unusual compressive forces. Therefore young population specially athletes should pay attention to their patella shapes for selecting the sports types.
Lumbar spinal canal stenosis is one of the difficult topic of spine. All the information are taken from Campbell's operative orthopedics Thirteen edition and from internet. I also took help from the lectures of renowned orthopedics professors of Bangladesh.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

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

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!

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
3. General Role of the Podiatrist
Identification of patients who are at risk of
developing foot problems
Establish a risk score for patient as per NICE
guidelines (Low, Moderate, High)
Providing appropriate treatment/ assessment
Education to patients and other professionals
Work as part of larger multidisciplinary team
5. ABPI
Can be useful in determining level of
ischaemia
Carried out when ischaemia is suspected
Values of: <0.8: the foot is at risk of ulceration
<0.5: the foot is critically ischaemic
Caution: May give false readings in diabetic
patients due to calcification of arteries
consider pallor on elevation and dependant
rubor also.
8. Typical features of Ulceration
Neuropathic
Ischaemic
Pulses
Bounding
Diminished/absent
Pain
None/minimal
High degree of pain
Location of
Ulceration
Pressure areas
Borders of feet
Callus
Often large amounts
Minimal
9. Assessment of Diabetic Foot
Presence of Infection (bacteria and fungi)
Ulceration/ foreign bodies
Pre-ulcerative areas
Deformity
Oedema
Skin quality
Footwear
15. Biomechanics of foot
Altered foot function can be a cause of
ulceration eg hallux limitus.
Forefoot equinus
Glycosylation of tissues and amount of
deformity in foot can indicate severity of
neuropathy
17. Conclusion
Podiatrists work as part of a multidisciplinary
team when managing the diabetic foot
The diabetic foot MUST be managed as part of
a wide team involving a number of specialities.
We all aim to facilitate healing and ensure the
best care for the patient
Thanks for listening
Editor's Notes
When considering any aspect of a diabetic foot it is vital that there is a MDT approach podiatrists need glucose levels to be optimum to encourage healing but also need footwear to be bespoke in man cases. Also need community staff both pods and nurses for redressing etc.
If palpable then fair to say not too bad but use as part of clinical pic as neuro feet often bounding pulses. These are two main pulses checked can also use peroneal as another indicator.
Monofilament detects dysfunction of small fibres this is pain and temp through the alpha delta nerve fibres and c fibres is repeatable and exerts 10g of pressure each time must be allowed to buckle and should be held there for 1 sec. Get patient to close eyes as many will want to please practitioner !!!
Neurothesiometer: rested on apex of digit (usually 1st) detects LARGE fibre neuropathy .........
Table indicating the difference in types of ulceration (MOLLIE MAY HAVE INCLUDED THIS )
The presence of tidea pedis infection aka (althetes foot) needs to be addressed in a diabetic as can lead to secondary bacteria infections. Found interdigital with red skin, odour, peeling skin ?itch (neuro) toes tend to be fixed/ close together – topical treatment Obvious one and check shoesAreas such as in picture one can indicate that that area is receiving high amounts of pressure and tissue exhibit extravasation which if left would lead to ulceration requires debriding and offloading. However this could also be an ulceration under callus. Deformity eg charcot but also toe deformity such as claw/ hammer and mallet as this increases pressure to areas like wise HAV etc. Indicator of systemic conditions but also consideration for footwear as wont be able to wear off the shelf.Is it dry? Fissured? Indicatiors of neuropathy and patient care for foot health, also too much tape thin skin in elderly etc. Need referral to orthotist ?
Allows healing and drainage of wound Removal of non- viable tissueCallus will often build up over wounds and form a plug essentially. Maggots are an alternative in presence of adherent slough but use cautiously due to cost
Dressing evidence is very poor quality. Often our dressing choice is determined on the observation of the wound bed and then dressed accordingly. Granulating wounds may simply require protection where as sloughly wounds will require dressings that encourage removal of slough and allow hyealing of the wound. Necrosis – keep dry. Important to consider patient high exduate levels, if working ?Important to manage exudate to prevent excouriation.
