Management of acute wounds
This document provides an outline for a presentation on the management of acute wounds. It begins with introducing acute wounds as recent injuries that have yet to progress through wound healing stages. It then covers definitions, classifications including by etiology and depth, and complications if not properly managed. The main content discusses the assessment, investigations, debridement, cleaning, closure or dressing options for acute wounds based on factors like contamination level and wound characteristics. It emphasizes thorough surgical debridement to remove dead tissue and prevent chronic wounds or infection.
Case presentation
This case presentation discusses a 64-year-old man with gradual swelling of his left arm and chest. He has a history of pacemaker implantation and thickening of the skin on his hands and feet. Examination found wooly hair, thickened skin on his palms and soles, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Testing showed keratoderma on skin biopsy and severe left ventricular dysfunction on echocardiogram. The provisional diagnosis is Carvajal Syndrome, a rare cardiocutaneous syndrome caused by a gene mutation leading to wooly hair, palmoplantar keratoderma, and dilated cardiomyopathy predominantly affecting the left ventricle.
Parasitic infections

PERIOCULAR MALPOSITIONS AND INVOLUTIONAL CHANGES.pptx
This document summarizes various periorbital malpositions and involutional changes including ectropion, entropion, and symblepharon. Ectropion is outward turning of the eyelid and has several types including involutional, cicatricial, and paralytic. Entropion is inward turning and can be involutional, acute spastic, or cicatricial. Symblepharon is an adhesion between conjunctival surfaces caused by inflammation, infection, or trauma. The document discusses examination, risk factors, pathophysiology, and management options for each condition including surgical procedures and medical treatment.
CLINICAL REFRACTION.pptx
Clinical refraction involves determining the eye's best corrected vision and refractive error using objective and subjective techniques. Retinoscopy is an objective technique that uses the characteristics of the retinal reflex seen through a retinoscope to neutralize the reflex and determine the refractive error. The power of the correcting lens at neutrality minus the working distance provides the actual refractive error. Subjective techniques refine the result by having the patient respond to lenses placed before their eyes.
BLUNT TRAUMA PRESENTATION.pptx
A 24-year-old male presented with blunt trauma to the right eye after being punched 1 week prior without eye protection. On examination, he had a hyphema, traumatic cataract, corneal edema, and uveitis in the right eye. He was managed conservatively with medications, close monitoring, and later referred to a vitreoretinal surgeon. Over subsequent follow ups his condition improved, though he was still advised to limit activity and continue regular monitoring. Blunt ocular trauma can cause various injuries like hyphema, cataract, uveitis, retinal tears or detachment depending on the force and location of impact. Evaluation involves examination to identify injuries and rule out perforating injuries, with
COMMUNITY OPHTHALMOLOGY.pptx
Primary health care is a vital component of eye care that includes promotion of eye health, prevention and treatment of conditions that may lead to visual loss. Primary eye care aims to make eye care services universally accessible through community-based programs. A primary eye care worker is trained to manage some eye conditions, diagnose others, and refer patients appropriately. Essential components of primary eye care include health promotion, disease prevention, treatment of common diseases, and rehabilitation. Regular training, supervision, and interaction between full-time eye care workers and volunteer community workers is important for a successful primary eye care program.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
What are the different types of Dental implants.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
