Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

1.2K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Mitral Stenosis I: Introduction01:22

Mitral Stenosis I: Introduction

65
Mitral Valve Stenosis (MVS) is a heart condition where the mitral valve narrows, impeding blood circulation from the left atrium to the left ventricle. The etiology and pathophysiology of this condition are multifaceted, leading to a cascade of cardiovascular complications.Causes of Mitral Valve StenosisRheumatic Heart Disease: It is the main cause of mitral valve stenosis, particularly in developing nations. This condition arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory illness resulting from...

Bone Disorders

4.1K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

69
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...

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction01:30

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction

305
Esophageal strictures involve abnormal narrowing or tightening of the esophagus. They vary in length and severity, ranging from mild constriction to complete obstruction, and are classified as benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

2.6K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Pediatric Orthopedics

Background:

  • Scheuermann's disease is the second most common spinal deformity in growing children.
  • It is characterized by excessive kyphosis of the thoracic spine.
  • Early diagnosis and conservative management are crucial for mild cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications for surgical intervention in Scheuermann's disease.
  • To discuss various surgical strategies and their potential complications.
  • To emphasize the importance of surgical planning to avoid adverse outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on Scheuermann's disease management.
  • Analysis of surgical techniques including posterior spondylodesis, anterior release, and posterior column osteotomy.
  • Discussion of factors influencing surgical decision-making.

Main Results:

  • Conservative treatment (bracing, physiotherapy) is effective for mild kyphosis.
  • Surgical intervention is recommended for severe curves (>70-75° Stagnara angle) with neurological deficits or persistent pain.
  • Surgical strategies vary based on surgeon experience and patient factors.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical treatment for Scheuermann's disease is effective when conservative methods fail or in severe presentations.
  • Careful surgical planning, including the extent of instrumentation and correction method, is vital.
  • Avoiding complications like proximal or distal junctional kyphosis is a key consideration in surgical outcomes.
