Medical Management of patients with ARDS
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by the development of unforeseen breathlessness within hours to days of an inciting indeed. Survivors of ARDS may recover normal lung function. Still, some of them may have residual lung impairment or patient muscle weakness. Generally, the lung dysfunction is mild, but ARDS can lead to severe lung damage and a reduced health- related quality of life.This webinar will help you understand the best management patterns of ARDS.

Latest Surgical Approaches to Oral Cancer
Recent advancements in surgical approaches to oral cancer have emphasized precision and minimally invasive techniques. Robotic-assisted surgery and transoral laser microsurgery allow for enhanced accuracy, reducing damage to surrounding tissues. Surgeons also increasingly use image-guided technology, which enhances visualization and helps remove tumors more effectively. Sentinel lymph node biopsy has become a standard for early-stage oral cancer, enabling better staging with minimal invasiveness. These advancements contribute to faster recovery times, reduced complications, and improved overall outcomes for patients.
Urinary Tract Infections: Clinical Approach and Management
An infection of the urinary system is known as a urinary tract infection (UTI). The urethra (urethritis) may be affected by this kind of infection (pyelonephritis) kidneys, bladder (cystitis). A consequence of kidneys' blood-filtering function is urine, or pee. When waste materials and extra water are eliminated from your circulation, your kidneys produce urine. Normally, urine passes through your urinary system uncontaminated. However, UTIs can result from bacteria entering the urinary system.
Clinician’s Approach to Septic Shock
The prognosis of sepsis syndromes varies and spans a clinical spectrum. The most serious consequence of sepsis, septic shock, has a high death rate. An inciting substance triggers the activation of both the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune systems, leading to septic shock. This takes place in tandem with the activation of neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages, which engage with the endothelium via pathogen recognition receptors and cause further cytokine, protease, kinin, reactive oxygen species, and nitric oxide involvement. The endothelium is the main location of this reaction, and in addition to microvascular damage, it also triggers the complement and coagulation cascades, which worsen the vascular damage and cause capillary leakage. The clinical signs and symptoms of sepsis and the progression from sepsis are caused by this series of events.
Nutrition Strategies for good Glycemic Control
Effective nutrition strategies for good glycemic control include choosing low-glycemic foods that prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar, such as whole grains, legumes, and non-starchy vegetables. Balancing macronutrients, particularly with a focus on healthy fats and proteins, can help stabilize blood sugar. Portion control and consistent meal timing are also vital to avoid blood sugar fluctuations. Including fiber-rich foods supports slower glucose absorption, aiding in prolonged blood sugar control. Staying hydrated and limiting added sugars can further support overall glycemic stability.
