Alok Kumar (Grp 09) Scarlet Fever.pptxDr. Alok Kumar
Ìý
Scarlet fever is caused by Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. It typically affects children aged 2 to 10 years and results in a sore throat, fever, strawberry tongue, and red rash. Close contact with an infected person is the main risk factor. Diagnosis involves a rapid strep test or throat culture. Treatment is usually oral penicillin for 10 days to prevent complications like rheumatic fever. Good hand hygiene and completing antibiotics can help prevent spread.Alok Kumar (Grp 09) Rubella.pptx

- Rubella, also known as German measles, is a contagious viral infection caused by the rubella virus. It is typically a mild disease with symptoms like rash, fever, and joint pain. However, infection during pregnancy can cause serious birth defects in the fetus.
- The rubella virus is transmitted through the air via coughing or sneezing by an infected individual. It presents with a red rash that begins on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.
- Vaccination with the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine provides lifelong protection against rubella and is the best way to prevent infection and complications during pregnancy.Alok Kumar (Grp 09) Measures Of Association.pptx
Alok Kumar (Grp 09) Measures Of Association.pptxDr. Alok Kumar
Ìý
1) Measures of association are used to quantify relationships between exposure and disease by comparing observed groups to expected levels. Common measures include risk ratio, rate ratio, and odds ratio.
2) The risk ratio compares the risk of a health event between two groups by dividing the risk in one group by the risk in another. A risk ratio above 1 indicates increased risk for the exposed group.
3) The rate ratio similarly compares incidence rates between two groups. A rate ratio above 1 also indicates increased risk for the exposed group based on the rates.Alok Kumar (Grp 09) Measles.pptx
Alok Kumar (Grp 09) Measles.pptxDr. Alok Kumar
Ìý
Measles is a highly contagious childhood disease caused by a virus. It spreads through the air via coughs or sneezes, or by touching contaminated surfaces. Symptoms include a high fever and red rash. Complications can include ear infections, pneumonia, and encephalitis in rare cases. The disease is preventable through vaccination with the MMR vaccine, which provides 97% protection. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms through rest, fluids, and fever reducers.Alok Kumar (Grp 09) Fascioliasis.pptx
Alok Kumar (Grp 09) Fascioliasis.pptxDr. Alok Kumar
Ìý
Fascioliasis is caused by Fasciola liver flukes infecting the bile ducts and liver. People become infected by eating raw freshwater plants like watercress contaminated with fluke larvae. Symptoms include gastrointestinal and liver problems. Diagnosis involves finding fluke eggs in stool samples under a microscope. The drug triclabendazole is used to treat infections. Preventing raw freshwater plant consumption and controlling watercress growth can help reduce transmission.Alok Kumar (Grp 09) Amoebiasis.pptx

Ionizing Radiation & HealthDr. Alok Kumar
Ìý
This document discusses ionizing radiation and its health effects. It defines ionizing radiation as radiation with enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or ionize them. Sources of ionizing radiation include alpha, beta, gamma rays, x-rays and neutrons. Exposure to ionizing radiation can cause both acute effects like radiation sickness and chronic effects like cancer. The risk depends on the type of radiation, dose amount and exposure duration. Units used to measure radiation include the sievert (health effect), gray (energy absorbed), rem and rad. Natural and medical sources contribute most to human radiation exposure.Frontal Lobe Lesion

This document discusses aphasia, which is an acquired inability to understand or express language through words despite intact sensory and motor skills. There are several types of aphasia defined by their anatomical location and symptoms. Sensory aphasia (Wernicke's aphasia) impairs comprehension but allows fluent speech. Motor aphasia (Broca's aphasia) impairs speech output but allows comprehension. Alexia is characterized by an inability to read (word blindness) despite intact writing, often due to damage to the left occipital lobe or splenium of the corpus callosum.Integumentery System

The skin is the largest organ of the body, covering the entire surface. It consists of two main layers - the epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is composed of stratified squamous keratinized epithelium and overlies the dermis, a dense connective tissue layer derived from mesoderm. Embedded within the dermis are structures like sweat glands, sebaceous glands and hair follicles which develop from the epidermis during embryogenesis. Skin lines various cavities and becomes continuous with mucous membranes in areas like the lips, anus, nose and urogenital regions.Skeletal System
Skeletal SystemDr. Alok Kumar
Ìý
The skeletal system contains 206 bones that are categorized into four basic shapes: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. The skeletal system functions to provide support, protect organs, regulate blood calcium levels, and allow for muscle attachment. Bones form through two processes - intramembranous ossification which forms flat bones, and endochondral ossification which replaces cartilage. The muscular system contains three main types of muscle: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle is attached to bones by tendons and forms the bulk of muscle mass controlled voluntarily.Histology Of Liver
Histology Of LiverDr. Alok Kumar
Ìý
The document provides information about the structure and function of the liver:
- The liver is covered by Glisson's capsule and is divided into lobules that contain hepatocytes arranged in plates separated by sinusoids. Bile canaliculi between hepatocytes drain into ductules.
- Blood enters the liver through the hepatic portal vein and hepatic artery and flows through sinusoids before draining into the hepatic veins.
- The liver performs many metabolic functions like detoxification, protein synthesis, and glucose regulation. It also stores vitamins, glycogen, and lipids. Bile produced by hepatocytes is secreted into small bile ducts and stored in the gallbladder.Joint Disorder MCQs

Systemic connective tissue inflammation syndrome (SCTIS) can cause three main diseases: systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma (SD), and dermatomyositis (DM). SCTIS is characterized by inflammatory disorders of the joints, muscles, and internal organs. It has an acute, subacute, or chronic onset and can cause progressive symptoms over time, including fatigue, rashes, skin tightening, joint pain and swelling, muscle weakness and atrophy. Diagnosis involves examining a patient's medical history and symptoms, conducting lab tests to detect autoantibodies and inflammation, and performing biopsies of affected tissues.Inflammatory Periarticular Lesions Lecture 3

Degenerative Joint Disorder Syndrome Lecture 2Dr. Alok Kumar
Ìý
Degenerative joint disorders syndrome (DJDS) can be either primary, where the cause is unclear, or secondary, following arthritis or trauma. There are two main types of complaints - joint pain that worsens with movement or weight-bearing and relieves with rest, and night or "bone" pain. Physical examination may reveal bony swelling, deformities, limitation of joint movement, and crepitus. Imaging studies like x-rays and arthroscopy are used to diagnose DJDS by showing changes like osteophyte formation, joint space narrowing, and loss of cartilage.Joint Disorders Lecture 1

The cerebellum is located in the posterior cranial fossa. Examination of the cerebellum involves assessing station, gait, movements, muscular tone, speech, and handwriting. Disturbances of balance are called ataxia, which can be static (disturbance of balance when standing) or dynamic (disturbance of motor acts). The Romberg test assesses static equilibrium by having a patient stand with eyes open and closed. Affections of the cerebellum can cause different types of ataxia depending on the location, including cerebellar ataxia, spinal ataxia, and vestibular ataxia.

Validity is an important characteristic of a test. A test having low validity is of little use. Validity is the accuracy with which a test measures whatever it is supposed to measure. Validity can be low, moderate or high. There are many factors which affect the validity of a test. If these factors are controlled, then the validity of the test can be maintained to a high level. In the power point presentation, factors affecting validity are discussed with the help of concrete examples.Year 10 The Senior Phase Session 3 Term 1.pptx
