⚜️Septic arthritis refers to a painful infection within a joint, often caused by bacteria spreading through the bloodstream or entering directly due to an injury like an animal bite or trauma. ⚜️Those at higher risk of developing septic arthritis include infants, older adults, and individuals with artificial joints. While knees are commonly affected, hips, shoulders, and other joints can also be vulnerable. Swift treatment is essential as the infection can swiftly deteriorate cartilage and bone within the joint. ⚜️Treatment typically entails draining the joint using a needle or surgical means, accompanied by antibiotic therapy.

Pemphigus Vulgaris, a rare, chronic autoimmune disease characterized by blistering and erosions on the skin and mucous membranes. Symptoms often start with painful oral blisters and can extend to other mucous membranes and skin.🌡 Diagnosis is confirmed through clinical examination, skin biopsy, and immunofluorescence tests. 🔬 Treatment involves high-dose corticosteroids, immunosuppressants like azathioprine and rituximab 💊, and supportive care to manage pain and prevent infections. 🛡 Regular monitoring is crucial to manage side effects and detect relapses early.

🔬Rare Disease Spotlight: Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) 🔬 A rare but potentially life-threatening skin disorder characterized by a severe reaction, often triggered by medication or infection. . 🌡️ SJS typically begins with flu-like symptoms and progresses to a painful rash that spreads and causes the top layer of the skin to detach. . 💊 Medications, particularly certain antibiotics, anti-epileptics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), are common triggers for SJS. Understanding drug interactions and individual susceptibility can aid in prevention. 🏥 Treatment of SJS often involves hospitalization, supportive care, and management of complications. Multidisciplinary collaboration between dermatologists, ophthalmologists, and other specialists is essential for comprehensive care. 💬 Let's continue spreading awareness and knowledge about Stevens-Johnson Syndrome to improve early detection, prompt intervention, and better outcomes for those affected. #StevensJohnsonSyndrome #RareDiseaseAwareness #HealthcareEducation 🌐

☹︎ 500 Million people worldwide 🌎 have DM1 or DM2.... ☝️ of the complications of DM is a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). ☠️ Causes and Risk Factors for the Development of a DFU include: 🦴 Bony 🦶Abnormalities Hammertoes Valgus deformities Pes Cavus/Pes Planus 👎Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) 👎 PAD 🚬 Smoking 👎 Renal Disease 👎 Previous History of an Ulcer or Amputation Whether you're practicing in Primary Care (Urban or Rural) or a specialized Wound Center, do not underestimate the challenges associated with caring for a patient with a DFU. ✳️ Undiagnosed, untreated osteomyelitis WILL result in a possibly avoidable amputation. ✅ Adequate Wound Bed Preparation (WBP), ✅ Monitoring for Infection, ✅ Assessing for PN, ✅ Proper Offloading, ✅ Establishing Adequate Blood Flow These are all necessary to effectively manage an individual with a DFU. 🙌 To preserve Limb Salvage. ❓In your practice, do you care for patients with diabetes❓ ❓Have treated patients with a DFU, understanding the risk of amputation, and provided your patient with informed risk❓ To learn more, listen.

Our paper about the construct validity of EQ-5D-5L among patients with inflammatory bowel disease is now published in Journal of patient-reported outcomes. The results support the construct validity of EQ-5D-5L in this patient group as EQ-5D-5L correlated with other disease-specific measures and could identify differences in HRQoL between patients with active and inactive disease. https://lnkd.in/d2Kr_HQW
