Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis
The prevention and treatment of osteoporosis involve a multifaceted approach aimed at increasing bone density and strength to reduce the risk of fractures. Prevention includes adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D through diet or supplements, regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises, lifestyle modifications such as quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption, and fall prevention strategies to reduce fracture risk. For treatment, bisphosphonates are commonly prescribed to slow bone loss, while denosumab, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), and parathyroid hormone analogs like teriparatide may be used to stimulate bone formation. Additionally, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be considered in some postmenopausal women, although its use must be carefully weighed against potential risks. Regular bone density tests are recommended to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and adjust as necessary, emphasizing the importance of a tailored approach based on individual risk factors and overall health.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer
Join us for a special webinar on World Ovarian Cancer Day, titled "Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer." This expert-led session will delve into the latest advancements in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and evidence-based management of ovarian cancer. Tailored for gynecologists and healthcare professionals, the session will also explore real-world case discussions and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. 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.
