Prolonged Fever: Thromboembolism, Guillain-Barre, Brucellosis
Explore the complexities of diagnosing prolonged, undiagnosed cases of fever through the Durak and Street classification system. Learn to recognize warning signals that indicate serious underlying conditions. Delve into the investigative process necessary for these challenging cases. This session presents two intriguing case studies. The first involves a woman with a 40-day history of fever, initially showing ECG findings suggestive of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), but ultimately diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, with further complications contributing to her prolonged fever. The second case explores a patient admitted with a 15-day fever, severe headache, body pain, and joint pain, leading to a final diagnosis of brucellosis after thorough investigation. Join us to gain a deeper understanding of the diagnostic challenges and treatment strategies for prolonged fever, enhancing your ability to manage such complex cases in clinical practice.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Technology Integration with Healthcare
Technology integration in healthcare is transforming the way medical services are delivered, enhancing efficiency and patient outcomes. Innovations such as telemedicine, electronic health records (EHR), and wearable devices allow for real-time monitoring and improved accessibility. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning aid in early diagnosis and personalized treatment plans. Robotic surgeries and advanced imaging techniques offer precision and reduced recovery times. By combining technology with healthcare, providers can streamline operations, improve patient engagement, and deliver cost-effective care solutions.
Pediatric Obesity: Treatment Management
Treatment management for pediatric obesity combines lifestyle changes, family support, and, in severe cases, medical interventions. Family-based strategies are key, encouraging healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and reduced screen time. Behavioral therapy helps set achievable goals and address barriers, empowering children and families to make sustainable lifestyle adjustments. Dietitians often assist in designing individualized meal plans that focus on nutrient-rich foods and limit calorie-dense options. In cases of severe obesity with related health conditions, medications or surgery may be considered, particularly for adolescents. Continuous monitoring and support from healthcare providers are essential for long-term success and health improvement.
Clinician’s Approach to Sleep Apnea
A clinician's approach to sleep apnea begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's medical history, symptoms (such as snoring, choking, and daytime fatigue), and risk factors like obesity or hypertension. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through polysomnography or home sleep apnea testing, followed by treatment strategies such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), lifestyle modifications, or surgical interventions depending on the severity and type of sleep apnea.
Case Based Approach to Arthritis
A case-based approach to arthritis involves analyzing individual patient cases to tailor diagnostic and therapeutic strategies based on specific symptoms, disease progression, and underlying causes. This method enhances clinical decision-making by providing personalized treatment plans and improving patient outcomes in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis.
Falls and Fractures in Older Adults: Prevention and Immediate Care
Falls and fractures in older adults are common and can lead to significant morbidity, highlighting the importance of fall prevention strategies such as strength training, balance exercises, and home safety modifications. Immediate care involves quick assessment for fractures, pain management, and stabilization, along with appropriate transport to healthcare facilities for further evaluation and treatment.
