Abstract:

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that primarily affects the lung and other organs. Patients with dactylitis should be screened for abnormalities of the skin, eyes and lungs. Even in patients with normal-range ACE sarcoidosis could be confirmed by tissue biopsy. Treatment with methotrexate and steroids can relieve symptoms and stabilize the disease. In refractory cases leflunomide, azathioprine, hydroxychloroquine or antibodies against TNF-alpha can be additionally administered.

Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
