Childhood Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Childhood Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that requires accurate diagnosis and effective treatment approaches. Diagnosis involves a comprehensive assessment of symptoms, including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, based on established diagnostic criteria. Symptoms must manifest before the age of 12 and persist for at least six months to meet diagnostic criteria. Evaluation typically includes input from parents, teachers, and caregivers to assess behavior across various settings. ADHD is categorized into predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, or combined presentations, each requiring tailored treatment. Behavioral therapy, including psychoeducation, parent training, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, can be effective in managing symptoms. ADHD often co-occurs with other conditions like anxiety, depression, or learning disabilities, necessitating comprehensive care.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Endometriosis- Updates
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition where endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, causing pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. The ectopic tissue responds to hormonal changes, leading to inflammation, adhesions, and scarring. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, imaging (ultrasound, MRI), and confirmed by laparoscopy with biopsy. Treatment includes NSAIDs, hormonal therapy (OCPs, progestins, GnRH analogs), and surgical excision for severe cases. Fertility treatments like IVF may be needed. While not curable, early diagnosis and management can relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
Case-Based Approach to Managing GI Malignancies
A Case-Based Approach to managing gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies involves applying a personalized, patient-centered strategy using specific case details to guide treatment decisions. It emphasizes a multidisciplinary team approach, where oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, and radiologists collaborate to determine the best course of action based on tumor type, stage, and patient factors. This method allows for tailored treatment plans, integrating surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapies to optimize outcomes. By discussing individual cases, this approach also aids in identifying potential challenges and refining management protocols to improve patient care.
Acne: Disorders and Treatment Approaches
Acne is a common dermatological condition caused by clogged pores, excess sebum production, bacterial growth, and inflammation. It can manifest as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, or cysts, often leading to scarring if untreated. Various factors, including hormonal changes, diet, stress, and genetics, influence its severity. Treatment approaches range from topical and oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, and hormonal therapy, to advanced procedures like chemical peels and laser therapy. A personalized skincare regimen, along with lifestyle modifications, plays a crucial role in managing and preventing acne.
Role of Telemedicine in Modern Healthcare
Telemedicine plays a crucial role in modern healthcare by enabling remote consultations, reducing the need for in-person visits, and improving access to medical expertise. It enhances patient care through real-time diagnosis, chronic disease management, and mental health support. By integrating AI and digital health technologies, telemedicine streamlines workflows and optimizes healthcare delivery. It is especially beneficial in rural and underserved areas, bridging gaps in specialist care. As technology advances, telemedicine continues to revolutionize healthcare, making it more efficient, accessible, and patient-centered.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation is a structured program designed to improve cardiovascular health after heart-related conditions such as heart attacks, heart failure, or surgeries like bypass or stenting. It includes supervised exercise, heart-healthy lifestyle education, nutrition counseling, stress management, and medication guidance. The goal is to enhance heart function, reduce the risk of future heart problems, and improve overall well-being. A multidisciplinary team, including doctors, physiotherapists, and dietitians, tailors the program to each patient’s needs. Regular participation in cardiac rehab lowers mortality rates, prevents hospital readmissions, and promotes long-term cardiovascular health, making it an essential part of heart disease recovery.
