Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

1.3K
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

1.0K
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints01:07

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

5.0K
Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

3.4K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Structural Classification of Joints01:20

Structural Classification of Joints

8.1K
Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...

Rheumatic Heart Disease III: Medical Management

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) management can be divided into two main strategies: prevention and long-term management.Primary PreventionPrimary prevention focuses on timely diagnosis and management of group A streptococcal pharyngitis to prevent acute rheumatic fever. The most widely used antibiotic for treating this condition is intramuscular benzathine penicillin G.Acute Rheumatic Fever TreatmentThe primary treatment goal for a patient diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever is to suppress the...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Arthroplasty Registries
  • Public Health Data Collection

Background:

  • Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) are prevalent surgical treatments for arthritis globally.
  • The application of TKA and THA is increasing in India.
  • The Indian Society of Hip and Knee Surgeons (ISHKS) established a joint registry 6 years ago to collect relevant data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish and maintain a comprehensive joint registry for TKA and THA in India.
  • To encourage active participation from all ISHKS members in data collection.
  • To gather data on patient demographics, surgical indications, implant details, and revision reasons.

Main Methods:

  • Encouraging ISHKS members to participate in the registry.
  • Utilizing a two-page downloadable form (knee and hip) from www.ishks.com.
  • Collecting data on demographics, indications, implants, and revision details.
  • Mailing forms to a central registry office for computerized data entry.
  • Initiating data collection in October 2006.

Main Results:

  • The registry currently holds data for 34,478 TKAs and 3,604 THAs from 42 surgeons nationwide.
  • TKA data: 75% female, average age 64.4 years, average BMI 29.1; predominantly for osteoarthritis (97%).
  • THA data: 60% male, average age 52 years, average BMI 25.8; 49% indicated for Avascular Necrosis (AVN).

Conclusions:

  • The ISHKS joint registry is a significant initiative with growing data.
  • The registry's value is expected to increase over time.
  • Active participation from all Indian arthroplasty surgeons is essential for the registry's success.
