Compartment syndrome,- a detailed medical study .martinshaji
Compartment syndrome is a condition that occurs when injury causes generalized painful swelling and increased pressure within a compartment to the point that blood cannot supply the muscles and nerves with oxygen and nutrients. Muscles in the forearm, lower leg and other body areas are surrounded by fibrous bands of tissues. This creates distinct compartments. The fibrous tissue is very inflexible and cannot stretch to accommodate the generalized swelling. If left untreated, muscles and nerves fail and may eventually die.
hence this is a medical emergency needed fast and great medical supervision , his study provides a detailed information regarding compartment syndrome

Natural ways to build healthy bones - health information martinshaji
Bone health is important throughout life. While you can never regain the bone density you had in your youth, you can help prevent rapidly thinning bones, even after your diagnosis. Calcium is a crucial building block of bone tissue. Vitamin D helps the body absorb and process calcium. Together, these two nutrients are the cornerstone of healthy bones.

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

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!

2. Wilsons disease is a
genetic disorder, where
there is too much copper
in the body.
Small amounts of copper
are needed in the body,
but to much can be
hazardous to the liver,
brain, eyes, and other
org...
Another name for Wilson's disease
is Hepatolenticular degeneration.
The special proteins in the liver are
called Hepacytes.
Degeneration of the liver and the
central nervous system.
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION
3. How It Related To Bile Secretions…
• Copper is absorbed
from your food, and
any excess is excreted
through bile, required
for the digestion of
food, is excreted by
the liver into passages
In Wilson disease,
copper does not pass
from the ...
Wilson's disease is
named after Dr.
Wilson, a doctor at
the National
Neurology Hospital
in London.
He discovered the
disease in 1911
4. • Wilson's disease is caused by
a
mutation located on the 13th
chromosome called ATP7B.
• Mutations in the ATP7B gene
produce a protein with
decreased
ability to bind copper.
Inheritance
• Autosomal recessive disease
In order to inherit Wilson disease,
both parents must carry one
genetic mutation
• Wilson disease carriers, who
have
only one copy of the abnormal
gene, do not have symptoms
5. Symptoms
Wilson's disease first attacks the liver, the
Central nervous system, or both.
Swelling of the liver or spleen
Jaundice
Fluid build-up in the legs or abdomen
Fatigue
A tendency to bruise easily
7. Chelating agents such as d-penicillamine and
trientine.
Other agents include sodium dimercaptosuccinate,
dimercaptosuccinic acid, zinc, and tetrathiomolybdate.
MANAGEMENT
patients who are de-coppered and dependent to
penicillamine. This medicine combines with excess copper
in the body and may prevent your body from absorbing
the copper in the foods you eat.(this is an exclusive drug
for Wilson's disease)
8. The use of surgical decompression or trans jugular
intrahepatic shunting (TIPS) in the treatment of portal
hypertension is reserved for individuals with recurrent or
uncontrolled variceal bleeding that is unresponsive to standard
conservative measures.
Liver transplantation or prolong period or severe cases in
accordance with the opinion of surgical gastroenterologist and
hepatologist.
Healthy diet
Zinc salts (zinc acetate) act as inductors of
metallothionein's, which favor a negative copper
balance and a reduction of free plasmatic copper.
must follow a diet that is low in copper.
Foods to avoid include beef liver, cashews, black-eyed peas, vegetable juice,
shellfish, mushrooms, and cocoa.
People with this disease should not take any vitamin or mineral supplement
that contains copper
