EXPLAINING OF ASCENDING CHOLANGITIS

EXPLAINING OF ASCENDING CHOLANGITIS

Definition

 Acute cholangnitis: is an ascending bacterial infection of common bile duct in association with partial or complete obstruction of the bile ducts or acute inflammation of common bile duct

When associated with  kidney (renal) failure,  heart (cardiac) impairment,  liver (hepatic) abscesses, and malignancies the morbidity and morality rates may be high
 
is one of the two main complications of common bile duct (choledochal) stones, the other gallstone pancreatitis
. Hepatic bile is sterile, and bile in the bile ducts is kept sterile by continuous bile flow and by the pres­ence of antibacterial substances in bile such as immunoglobulin

EXPLAINING GALL BLADDER ANATOMY

EXPLAINING GALL BLADDER ANATOMY


The gallbladder is a pear-shaped sac, about 7 to 10 cm long with an average capacity of 30 -50 mL containing bile

When obstructed, the gallbladder can distend markedly and contain up to 300 mL
The gallbladder is located in a fossa on the inferior surface of the liver that is in line with the anatomic division of the liver into right and left liver lobes

GALL BLADDER
  
The gallbladder is divided into four anatomic areas
  • The fundus
  • The corpus (body
  • The infundibulum
  • The neck

Acalcular or non calcular cholecystitis

Definition
It is mean acute or chronic inflammation of the gall bladder due to other causes rather than gall stones

EXPLAINING OF GALL BLADDER STONE

Introduction

Gallstone disease is one of the most common problems affecting the digestive tract The prevalence of gallstones is related to many factors, including age, gender, and ethnic background


Women are three times more likely to develop gallstones than men, and first-degree relatives of patients with gallstones have a twofold greater prevalence In order to understanding the gall bladder stone formation and its types it should be first known the anatomy of the gall bladder as follow

ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS

Definition

That is mean acute or sudden inflammation or infection of the gall bladder which may due to stones in the gall bladder or other causes rather than stones

Types
    
 There are two types either

Acute calcular (stone ) cholecystitis  about 95% also called 
 acute obstructive cholecystitis

Acute non calcular( no stones) cholecystitis about 5% also called acute non obstructive cholecystits

HOW FRACTURED BONE HEALED AND UNION

HOW FRACTURED BONE HEALED AND UNION

When the bone become fractured there are many mechanism or pathophysiology process which start after the bone become fractured to allow it to become healed as follow

When a bone break there is disruption of periosteum, cortical bone trabecular bone and the blood vessels which run in the periosteum and the medulla
There is haemorrhage and immediate release of cytokines this signals to cells locally that dam­age has occurred

EXPLAINING EXTERNAL FIXATION OF BONE FRACTURED

 
EXPLAINING EXTERNAL FIXATION OF BONE FRACTURED

There are two types of bone fixation

Internal fixation and external fixation

 Internal fixation see here
 
External fixation

Are those where the mechanical strength of the construct is outside the skin or fixation of fracture outside the skin

Is an alternative way to holding a fracture is to insert pins and wires into the bone on each side of the fracture, and to attach these to an external frame that provides the structural integrity

 Fixators can be as simple as a set of pins incorporated into a plaster through single- and double-bar fixators or as complex as ring fixators holding the bone through tension wires

ALL YOU NEED ABOUT INTERNAL FIXATION OF FRACTURED BONE

ALL YOU NEED ABOUT INTERNAL FIXATION OF FRACTURED BONE
Types of fixation

Fixation can be divided into external and internal fixations
 Internal fix­ation

Are implants that are fitted directly on to or put down the inside of the bone and are then covered with soft tissues and skin
  
,Internal fixation can allow accurate reduction of fractures, and allows strong and stable fixation, so that the patient can rapidly return to everyday activities, with the minimum of inconvenience
  
Internal fixation is best performed under a tourniquet, if possible in order to obtain a blood-free view

EXPLAINING CEREBRAL ANEURYSM

Definition
  An aneurysm is focal dilatation of the vessel wall

,  Is most often a balloon-like outpouching, but may also be fusiform

 Aneurysms usually occur at branch points of major vessels e.g, internal carotid artery (lCA) bifurcation, or at the origin of smaller vessels e.g., posterior communicating artery or ophthalmic artery
 Approximately 85% of aneurysms arise from the anterior circulation (carotid) and 15% from the posterior circulation

 Introduction
In order to understanding the pituitary gland tumours it should be first known the important anatomy of the pitiuitary
The pituitary gland  or hypophysis cerebri is the master gland  in the body
It is an endocrine gland which secreted many hormones in the blood It very small in size a pea sized
It is intracranial structures which present in the middle cranial fossa It is lies in bony cavity like structure called sella trucica
It is composite structure consists of three parts the anterior intermediate and posterior lobe
Hormones secreted by anterior pituitary by its cells
Acidophilic cells secreted somatotropic or growth hormone and prolactin
Basophilic cells secreted adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) , thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) follicular and luteinzing hormones (FSH and  LH

EXPLAINING OF SYMPTOMS SIGNS AND TREATMENT OF OSTEOARTHRITIS AO

Symptoms and signs of osteoarthritis

Symptoms of osteoarthritis AO 
  • Pain of osteoarthritis: is characterized by dull aching  pain poorly localized up till severe pain may awake patient during sleep the pain  increase with activity as with joint movement and using and the pain relieved by rest the pain increase at the end of the day  the pain may occur with minimal motion and even at rest the pain may become sharp due to muscle spasm around the joint the pain worse by exercise
  • Joint stiffness: limited stiffness on awakening in the morning and after a periods of inactivity during the day is common as the joint is limbered up the patient feel better
  • If the patient sits down for any length of time pain may develop after the commencement of activity
  • patients may complains from locking episodes and joint loosen as in loose bodies or meniscal tear
  • Limitation of motion or movement :often involving loss of extension and flexion 
  • In the hip joint :patient usually maintain 90 degree of flexion but lose most abduction and internal and external rotation
