Fogarty Embolectomy Balloon Catheter

The catheter was a great improvement on previous embolectomy methods. First, it does not cut off blood flow, increasing the risk of the patient's losing a limb; and second, the entire procedure can be performed in one hour through a single small incision, instead of using many larger incisions and forceps, with the patient under general anesthesia for hours. Fogarty's balloon catheter procedure was the first successful examples of "less invasive" (and so, less traumatic) vascular surgery. The first balloon angioplasty, performed with a Fogarty catheter in 1965, has led to over 650,000 such operations per year. It can also be dapted for to less invasive biopsy techniques.

Avian influenza - fact sheet
حقائق عن انفلونزا الطيور

WHO has issued a fact sheet about the significance for human health of (“bird flu”) or avian influenza

Avian influenza is an infectious disease of birds caused by type A strains of the influenza virus. The disease, which was first identified in Italy more than 100 years ago, occurs worldwide

All birds are thought to be susceptible to infection with avian influenza, though some species are more resistant to infection than others. Infection causes a wide spectrum of symptoms in birds, ranging from mild illness to a highly contagious and rapidly fatal disease resulting in severe epidemics. The latter is known as “highly pathogenic avian influenza”. This form is characterized by sudden onset, severe illness, and rapid death, with a mortality that can approach 100%

Migratory waterfowl – most notably wild ducks – are the natural reservoir of avian influenza viruses, and these birds are also the most resistant to infection. Domestic poultry, including chickens and turkeys, are particularly susceptible to epidemics of rapidly fatal influenza

Direct or indirect contact of domestic flocks with wild migratory waterfowl has been implicated as a frequent cause of epidemics. Live bird markets have also played an important role in the spread of epidemics

Antiviral drugs, some of which can be used for both treatment and prevention, are clinically effective against influenza A virus strains in otherwise healthy adults and children, but have some limitations. Some of these drugs are also expensive and supplies are limited

Osteoporosis & Exercise

Exercise stimulates bone growth when muscles pull on bones.Only the bones tugged on by muscles receive the osteoporosis benefit

Weight-bearing excercises are good for bone strengthening. Those are exercises in which body weight is supported by the skeleton. Jogging, stair climbing and running sports are examples of Weight-bearing exercise

Walking is a weight –bearing exercise but is not as good an osteoporosis treatment as jogging. Walkers can get more benefit if they occasionally break into a walk or if they carry a backpack with a light weight in it
Resistance exercise is the best exercise for bone-building. Resistance exercise is lifting weights. It is better to have a comprehensive weightlifting program involving all body muscles- arms, abdomen, hips and legs. The amount of weight lifted does not have to be huge; 0.5 kilograms is enough to see results provided there is a slow but progressive increase in the amount of weight lifted

?What is Peer Review

Journal peer review is the process whereby an article is reviewed but at least one (but often more than one) independent experts who either recommend the article for publication or makes suggestions of changes required to make the article suitable for publication. Reviewers, who are generally members of a journal’s Editorial Board, assess the article for validity, objectivity and comprehensiveness

Peer-reviewed journals are also known as refereed journals

Non- peer reviewed journals are those in which the editor of the journal (possibly in consultation with a co-editor) makes the decision about which articles will or won’t be published without consulting an Editorial Board

There are several methods to determine whether a journal is peer reviewed
The CINAHAL record, the introductory information at the front of the journal, the journal’s website and the Ulrich’s International Periodical Directory which mentions whether a specific journal is “ refereed” or not

Achilles: Real Tendon, Mythical Hero

The Achilles tendon is named after Achilles: the ancient Greek hero of the Trojan War. Achilles was invulnerable except for one spot on his heel. After many adventures and victories he was killed by an arrow shot into his heel. As a result of the Achilles legend, the expression Achilles heel came to mean a fatal vulnerability, and the tendon connecting the heel to the calf became known as the Achilles tendon

[frame="2 80"]The ECG Learning Centre

This interactive ECG website represents an introduction to clinical electrocardiography. It is important to recognize that the mastery of ECG interpretation, one of the most useful clinical tools in medicine, can only occur if one acquires considerable experience in reading ECG's and correlating the specific ECG findings with the pathophysiology and clinical status of the patient
