Intr Operative-Electro Physiological Monitoring
Intraoperative monitoring is a crucial technique that significantly improves surgical outcomes by protecting neural structures and ensuring patient safety. This session provides a detailed introduction and rationale for using intraoperative monitoring, covering various types and methods. Learn how to identify vital neural structures such as the facial nerve, functional filum, and brainstem nuclei during surgery. Explore the process of monitoring patients throughout the surgery, focusing on sensory pathways and spinal cord monitoring, supported by relevant clinical images and videos. Additionally, delve into electrophysiological techniques for localizing functional areas, including Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs) and Direct Cortical Stimulation or Motor Evoked Potentials (MEPs). Join us to enhance your knowledge of intraoperative monitoring, ensuring precision and safety in your surgical practice.

Ulcerative Colitis: Treatment and Management review
Respiratory diseases in children, such as asthma, pneumonia, and bronchiolitis, are significant causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. These conditions often present with symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing, requiring prompt diagnosis and management. Advances in medical care have improved the treatment outcomes, but disparities in healthcare access still pose challenges. Preventative measures, including vaccination and reducing exposure to environmental pollutants, play a crucial role in mitigating the impact of these diseases. Early intervention and comprehensive care are essential to enhance the quality of life for affected children.
Approach to Nephrotic Syndrome In Children
The illness known as nephrotic syndrome makes the kidneys leak a lot of protein into the urine. Many concerns, such as swelling of bodily tissues and an increased risk of infection, may result from this. While nephrotic syndrome can afflict individuals at any age, children between the ages of one and six are typically the ones who receive the initial diagnosis. It's unclear why, although those with Asian ancestry appear to experience it more frequently. Steroid medication can frequently be used to control the symptoms of nephrotic syndromes. The majority of kids with nephrotic syndrome react favorably to steroids and don't have a kidney failure risk. However, a small percentage of kids have congenital (inherited) nephrotic syndrome, which typically results in worse outcomes.
Role of CT in Trauma
Cryopreservation in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is a crucial technique used to freeze and store eggs, sperm, or embryos for future use. It allows individuals or couples to preserve fertility, especially before medical treatments like chemotherapy or for those delaying parenthood. The process involves rapid freezing to protect the cells from damage. Vitrification, a newer method, has significantly improved survival rates of frozen embryos and eggs. Cryopreservation also offers flexibility in ART cycles, improving the chances of successful pregnancies over time.
Milestones in Early Life – Role of Nutrition
The panel discussion on "Milestones in Early Life: Role of Nutrition" highlights the critical impact of proper nutrition during a child's early development. Adequate intake of essential nutrients supports brain development, cognitive function, and physical growth. Key milestones, such as motor skills, language acquisition, and immune system maturation, are influenced by a balanced diet. Early nutrition also helps establish long-term health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases later in life. Proper guidance and intervention during this period ensure optimal growth and development.
Impact of Endometriosis on Fertility & Pregnancy
One prevalent cause of infertility is endometriosis. This may occur if endometrial tissue grows around the fallopian tubes or ovaries, where it may also leave scar tissue and induce inflammation. Additionally, tissue can grow on other pelvic organs as well as, in certain situations, outside of the pelvis. This endometrial tissue has the potential to develop into the uterine muscle in certain individuals, leading to an additional type of endometriosis known as adenomyosis. It has also been demonstrated that endometriosis affects the immune system, modifies the hormonal environment surrounding the eggs, prevents embryo implantation, and changes the quality of the eggs. The majority of the time, endometriosis and any associated scar tissue may be removed, and this can relieve your symptoms, including your ability to become pregnant.
