COMPLICATIONS AFTER ULTRASOUND GUIDED FOAM SCLEROTHERAPY There are many misconceptions about Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy. Many of the so-called complications are just part of the healing process. Interestingly, the remedy is MORE SCLEROTHERAPY... #foamsclerotherapy Full video https://lnkd.in/dCBxvDsi

PHLEBITIS AFER FOAM SCLEROTHERAPY Is it even a complication? Some degree of tenderness and lumpiness is INEVITABLE after sclerotherapy. So is the "PHLEBITIS" of Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy really a complication or just part and parcel of the healing process? Christopher Pittman, M.D., FAVLS, FACR, FACP(Hon) regards tenderness to be an expectation. If patients know what to expect and if customer care is excellent, patient satisfaction remains high even when patients experience tenderness. The "PHLEBITIS" of UGFS is not the same as SVT- superficial venous thrombosis. Do you agree? #foamsclerotherapy #phlebitis #customercare #patientjourney

Treating mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the context of heart failure (HF) can be complex, as it depends on the severity of the regurgitation, the underlying cause of the valve dysfunction, and the patient's overall heart function. How should we approach treating mitral and tricuspid regurgitation in heart failure? What are the best strategies for optimizing outcomes—surgical, transcatheter, or medical management?

73 yo male presented with progressive loss of grip function and weakened wrist/thumb/bicep and triceps strength. Pronation and supination was weak as well. Neck and arm/forearm pain not amenable to pain medication. He was offered posterior decompression, laminoplasty, multilevel hemilaminectomies, posterior fixation and multiforaminotomies by another colleagues. In my perspective, Loss of lordosis plus Lateral nerve stenosis due to uncus hypertrophy have always been an indication for anterior approach. Even though aggressive uncinatectomies is a powerful technique I regurarly use in arthroplasty cases, It can also be used in ACDF and AS cases to achieve wide nerve decompression and “disengagement” to aid lordosis restoration. Patient recovers well and discharged home on POD: 2 while his pain reduced remarkably. 4 level ACDF should be monitored closely for later posterior supplemental fixation.

EMSELLA uses HIFEM energy to cause deep and intense pelvic-floor muscle contractions, helping your incontinent patients regain their confidence. 🌟 HIFEM stimulates the entire pelvic floor area and helps with restoring neuromuscular control. 🙌 A single session causes thousands of supramaximal pelvic-floor muscle contractions, which are extremely important in muscle re-education, and improvement of intimate wellbeing. 🤗 It is recommended to attend 6 sessions over 2-3 weeks and repeat for maintenance if/when needed! ✨The Benefits - Improved Bladder Control: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can significantly reduce or eliminate symptoms of urinary incontinence, leading to better bladder control. - Non-Invasive and Painless: The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and requires no downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately after each session. - Convenience: The ease of undergoing treatment while remaining fully clothed and seated makes it a convenient option for many patients. - Effectiveness: Clinical studies have shown that the Emsella chair can be effective in reducing urinary incontinence symptoms, with many patients experiencing significant improvement after completing the recommended treatment course. Why not come in and try it for yourself! 😌 #hertfordshireaesthetics #aestheticsuk #londonaesthetics #hertfordshirebusiness #emsella #emsellachair #incontinence

A heart arrhythmia is a condition where the heart beats irregularly, either too fast, too slow, or with an erratic rhythm. ⁠ ⁠ Arrhythmias can be treated pharmacologically with medications or through ablation treatments conducted by an electrophysiologists. All of these treatment types restore regular heart rhythm.⁠ ⁠ Certain types of arrhythmias, such as higher degrees of AV blocks, may require a pacemaker treatment. ⁠ ⁠ Speak to a medical professional to help guide you on treatment options if you are experiencing arrhythmias. ⁠ ⁠ #hearthealth #heartdoctor #meded #heartdisease #heartdiseaseawareness #heartdiseaseprevention #cardiologist #healthylifestyle #healthyhabits #healthiswealth

Just like your blood, there are fluids in the human eyes that are synonymous with volume and pressure. This is what brings about a phenomenon called Intra-ocular pressure(IOP). Intra-Ocular Pressure is the pressure exerted by fluids within the eyes. IOP can be caused by so many factors such as: -Increased production of aqueous humor in the eye. -A blocked drainage angle that prevents aqueous humor from exiting the eye. -Injuries to the eye. -Side effects from some medications like corticosteroids. It is important to note that the optimal range for eye pressure or IOP is 10-20mmHg. Anything higher than this can lead to glaucoma. IOP is determined by tonometry, a test conducted by an optometrist to ascertain the pressure within your eyes. Unlike a high blood pressure, a high eye pressure has no actual symptom. You may never know if you have eye hypertension until it deteriorates into a clinical condition like glaucoma which presents its own symptoms. So it is advisable that you visit an optometrist today for a comprehensive eye check and subsequent treatment. #eyehealth #eyecare #eyedoctor #optometrist

Hi I am to share about an article Damping. Damping is a phenomenon that occurs during cardiac catheterization when the catheter's outer diameter is larger than the ostial diameter or when the catheter tip touches the vessel wall: Characteristics Damping is characterized by a sudden drop in mean coronary pressure, a narrow pulse pressure, and a delayed upstroke and downstroke. Causes Damping can be caused by: The catheter's outer diameter being almost as large as or larger than the ostial diameter The catheter tip being pressed against the vessel wall Significance Damping can indicate severe partial obstruction and adverse catheter placement. It can lead to complications such as ischemia, chest pain, and arrhythmia if not identified quickly and the catheter repositioned. Reversible causes The most common reversible cause of damping is catheter-induced coronary spasm. #snsinstitutions #designthinking
