Pharmacological Therapy For Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, is a degenerative joint disorder characterized by the gradual deterioration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone. It often affects weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, and hands, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced joint mobility. Risk factors include aging, joint overuse, and genetic predisposition. While there is no cure, management involves pain relief through medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications such as weight management and exercise. In severe cases, surgical interventions like joint replacement may be considered. Osteoarthritis poses a significant global health burden, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive management strategies to improve the quality of life for those affected.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
