Therapeutics

Written by Dr John L Gibbs, Consultant Paediatric Cardiologist, Yorkshire Heart Centre, Leeds General Infirmary. This presentation covers the many types of bradyarthymias, their ECG findings, investigation of them and finally some of the common treatment methods.  

In this presentation we present a case history of someone living with SLE. We cover signs, symptoms and treatment. Enjoy!  

A short presentation looking at the epidemiology, pathology and treatment of back pain.  

Summary of aetiology, presentation, investigations and treatment of Gout.  

An edited version of my Friday Evening Discouse given to the Royal Institution on 11 April 2008. Abstract: The vagus nerves (cranial nerve X) connects our brainstem to the body, facilitating monitoring and control of many automatic functions; the vagus electrically links our gut, lungs and heart to the base of the brain in an evolutionarily-ancient circuit, similar between mammals and also seen in birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The vagus comprises a major part of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system, contributing to the motor control of important physiological functions such as heart rate and gut motility. The vagus is also sensory, relaying protective visceral information leading to reflexes like cough and indication of lung volume. The vagus has been described as a neural component of the immune reflex. By monitoring changes in the level of control exerted by the vagus, apparent as beat by beat changes of heart rate, it is possible to indirectly view the effect of pharmaceuticals and disease on brainstem function and neural processes underlying consciousness. The paired vagus nerves of humans have different functions, and stimulation of the left vagus has been shown to be a therapeutic treatment for epilepsy, and may modulate the perception of pain.  

in this presentation we discuss the definition, differential diagnosis, signs, symptoms and treatment of eczema herpeticum  

This is a podcast on the Clinical Pharmacology that is relevant to the treatment of cardiac failure. In this podcast we shall be covering the therapeutics of: * Acute/Decompensated cardiac failure * Chronic cardiac failure Once again we shall be using this as a means to discuss certain drugs, here ACE-inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, spironolactone and digoxin.  

This is a podcast on the rather tricky topic of hyponatraemia. In this podcast we shall be looking at: * Definitions/types * Causes * Clinical features * Practical first line treatments * SIADH  

Presentation that accompanies the poster on the treatment of septic arthritis.  

This image displays a large left sided haemothorax with mediastinal displacement to the opposite side. Clinically the patient would be in respiratory distress - percussion of the left side of the chest would be dull and breath sounds and vocal resonance would be reduced. A Haemothorax such as this falls into the category of life threatening chest injuries (ATOMFC) and requires emergent treatment using a chest drain in the 5th intercostal space, mid-axillary line and treatment according to ALS or ATLS protocols. ATOMFC = A = airway obstruction, T = tension pneumothorax, O = open pneumothorax, M = massive haemothorax, F = flail chest, C = cardiac tamponade.

Left intracapsular neck of femur fracture. This is a common injury which it is important to recognise on imaging. It has a relatively poor prognosis and intracapsular fractures are particularly at risk of avascular necrosis of the hip. Early intervention is therefore important - consider which may be the appropriate treatment approaches in this case?

<p>Treatment of impacted canines require close collaboration between oral surgeons and orthodontists. This video reviews diagnostic principles, treatment approaches, and techniques for optimal results.</p>  

<p>Many current advertisements promise patients 'Teeth-in-a-Day' or 'Teeth-in-an-Hour', offering to replace decayed, infected, or missing teeth with implants and even deliver teeth, all on the same day. While this is a possible treatment option, it is not for everyone. There are a number of limitations and the success depends on proper patient selection, diagnosis, and communication between the surgeon and the restoring dentist. This video discusses immediate implants and immediate teeth and when they may be considered and when they should be avoided.</p>  

Have you been given conflicting information about dental implants? D you know who is the right dentist for implant treatment? Many patient have been misinformed about dental implants, its benefits, success overall experience, and risks. This podcast discusses commo misconceptions and the truth about dental implants.  

In this episode, Dr. Kazemi discusses a common challenge for many patients with missing teeth and bone loss.&nbsp; A case is presented reviewing various bone augmentation techniques and dental implants to replace the missing teeth for a life-long solution. Success depends on&nbsp; thorough diagnosis, careful planning, close collaboration between team of expert dentists, and skillful surgeries and treatments.<br/>
