This document discusses felon, an abscess of the pulp space in the finger. It notes that felon most commonly involves the distal pulp space of the index or thumb finger, resulting from minor trauma such as a finger prick. The pulp space contains fat partitions and becomes a closed compartment, so minor infections can lead to pus collection and increased pressure, compressing the terminal artery and potentially causing gangrene. Treatment involves antibiotics, drainage of the terminal pulp space through a longitudinal incision, and possible amputation of the terminal phalanx if osteomyelitis is present.

It notes that the spine is the most common site of bone involvement by tuberculosis, with the lower thoracic and lumbar vertebrae most often affected. Tuberculosis of the spine typically begins in the cancellous bone and spreads to adjacent vertebrae and discs. This can lead to abscesses that track through soft tissues, potentially causing epidural abscesses and spinal cord compression. Imaging plays an important role in evaluating the extent of bone and soft tissue involvement.

. Introduction to Suspension therapy.pptx
. Introduction to Suspension therapy.pptxDr. Prashant Kaushik Contents: -Definition, Principle, Advantages, Suspension instruments, Procedure, Types of suspension, Techniques.
Definition: - It is defined as suspending a part of the body or whole body with the supported slings and pulleys. That is given to the patients to increase ROM, increase muscle power, and support body part. Suspension free the body from friction of material upon the body components may be resting and it permits free movements without resistance. Late Mrs. Guthrie Smith invented the suspension apparatus.
Principle: - It is working under three principle: -
Friction.
Pendulum.
Eliminating gravity.
(a) Friction: - It occurs during a particular surface move on another. It is the force, which restrict the movement of an object. If the surface are more smooth and slippery will have less friction, in that surface the movement will be more and will cause slippery. If the surface is hard or rough results in more friction and the movements are opposed by the friction force.
The same principle is used in the suspension which has less friction causes smooth and easy movements.
(b) Pendulum: - Pendulum is heavy material suspended by the weightless thread. The force is applied on the pendulum it results in to and fro movement.
One complete swing is called as Oscillation. The arc of movement of the pendulum forms a segment of base of the cone. In the human body the pendular motion occurs mainly in the shoulder joint and the hip joint, forward leg movement and the arm swing movement while walking. The simple muscular contraction is necessary to initiate the oscillation. The same mechanism is used in the suspension therapy to maintain the muscle property, increase the range of movement and strengthening the muscles.
(c) Eliminating Gravity Movement: - If the person has the muscle power 2 (gravity eliminated movement), can go for the suspension exercises.
The patients should have minimal muscle power of 2 to under go for suspension therapy exercise. If the muscle power is above 3, the patient can go for against the gravity exercise instead of suspension therapy exercise.
Advantages: - It reduces the burden for the therapist.
Easy to lift the limbs.
Active movement can be performed easily with minimum friction.
Easier to maintain the position of limbs with slings and pulleys in the required position.
Suspension instruments: -
Suspension frame.
Supporting ropes.
Pulleys.
Slings.
S-hook and dog clips.
Wooden cleat.
(a) Suspension Frame: - It is made up of stainless steel or plastic-coated steels. In the top and head end side presents the 5-centimeter metal mesh, and the remaining sides are kept open. The measurement of the frame is 1m or 2m width X 2m length X 2m height. In the middle of the frame 2m length X 1m width X 1m height couch is placed for the patient's accommodation.
(b)Supporting Ropes: - It is 1.5 meters length, and 3 ply hemp ropes are used for the suspension to avoid slipping.

A BRIEF STUDY OF REGIONAL REPERTORY (3).pdf
A BRIEF STUDY OF REGIONAL REPERTORY (3).pdfsadanandarya1 Regional repertories in homeopathy are specialized reference works that focus on specific parts or systems of the body, such as the eyes, skin, respiratory system, or digestive organs. Unlike general repertories, which cover a wide range of symptoms and modalities across the entire body, regional repertories offer a more in-depth and concentrated analysis of particular areas, allowing practitioners to narrow down remedies with greater precision.
This study aims to understand the role and relevance of regional repertories in clinical practice. It explores various examples such as "Repertory of the Eyes" by William Jefferson Guernsey, and "Repertory of the Head" by J.B. Garth Wilkinson, among others. These repertories serve as valuable tools in cases where the pathology is strongly localized, and where a detailed repertorial analysis of that specific region is needed.
The study also highlights the advantages and limitations of regional repertories. While they provide focused insight and can enhance remedy selection in specific cases, they may lack the broader context required in complex or multi-systemic conditions. Thus, they are most effective when used in conjunction with general repertories and thorough case-taking.
regional repertories play a significant role in enhancing the accuracy of homeopathic prescriptions, especially in localized diseases. Their study is essential for practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding and refine their skills in remedy selection.

4) Pre-viable pre-term premature rupture of membrane: when rupture of membranes occurs before 24 weeks of gestation. It is also known as Mid-trimester premature rupture of membrane
CLINICAL MANIFESTATION
painless leakage of fluid from vagina
fetal can easily feel through belly due to loss of fluid
decrease uterine size
abdominal pain and back pain
fetal heart sound altered
gush of fluid
oligohydramnios
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
History collection (steady loss of small amount of fluid from vagina)
Sterile speculum examination: A sterile speculum examination involves using a sterile speculum, a medical instrument, to gently open the vagina for a visual examination of the cervix and vaginal walls, ensuring the speculum is sterilized before use, to prevent infection.
Pooling test: During a speculum examination, healthcare providers look for amniotic fluid accumulating in the posterior vaginal fornix (the area at the back of the vagina).
This pooling of fluid suggests that the amniotic sac has ruptured, allowing fluid to leak into the vagina.
Nitrazine test: The nitrazine test, using nitrazine paper (phenaphthazine), is a method to determine vaginal pH and detect potential amniotic fluid leakage, which can indicate a ruptured amniotic membrane, by observing a color change from yellow to blue.
Fern test: The fern test involves collecting a vaginal fluid sample, allowing it to dry on a glass slide, and then examining the dried sample under a microscope.
When amniotic fluid is present, the sodium chloride in it crystallizes, forming a characteristic fern-like pattern.
MANAGEMENT
If the patient is term > 37 weeks : Approximately 90% of patient will go into spontaneous labor within 24 hours. labor should be induced either at the time of presentation or the patient can be expected managed.
Induction of labor reduces the time of delivery and the rates of chorioamnionitis and endometritis and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit.
If the patient does not go into spontaneous labor on her own then labor induction should be performed with oxytocin. So, use oxytocin or prostaglandins as indicated Otherwise, perform cesarean delivery.
COMPLICATIONS
IF FETUS REMAIN IN UTERO
Neonatal conditions
Infection and sepsis
Deformations
Umbilical cord compression
Pulmonary hypoplasia
