Post Menopausal Osteoporosis: Clinical review
Post Menopausal Osteoporosis is a prevalent skeletal disorder that affects women after menopause. It results from hormonal changes, particularly a decline in estrogen levels, leading to decreased bone density and strength.The condition increases the risk of fractures, especially in the spine, hips, and wrists. Clinical assessment of postmenopausal osteoporosis involves evaluating medical history, risk factors, and bone mineral density measurements. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring bone density in affected individuals. Treatment options for postmenopausal osteoporosis include lifestyle modifications, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and various medications like bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators, and monoclonal antibodies. Regular weight-bearing exercises and resistance training can help improve bone health and reduce fracture risk. Fall prevention strategies, such as home modifications and balance exercises, can significantly reduce the likelihood of fractures. Long-term use of certain medications, such as glucocorticoids, can exacerbate bone loss in postmenopausal women.

Let’s come together to raise awareness and empower clinicians in the fight against this silent but deadly disease
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.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
Sleep Disorder Breathing is a term for a group of conditions with abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. This affects everyday functioning and well being.There are few types of SDB which include upper airways resistance, hypopnea, apnea, catathrenia and heavy snoring. People suffering with SDB can have daytime symptoms that result in poor sleep also. There can also be sleepiness, depressed mood, irritability and cognitive dysfunction.
