Trans Catheter Valve Therapies
In patients with severe aortic stenosis, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive surgery to replace the aortic valve. TAVR takes one to two hours to complete and is less invasive than open heart surgery. TAVR offers useful treatment choices to patients who might not have been given the benefit of a valve replacement, despite the fact that it is not without hazards. In terms of recuperation, a patient's experience with a TAVR procedure can be comparable to that of a coronary angiography. TAVR is more likely to result in a shorter hospital stay than surgical valve replacement.

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.
