This month, Shira Kresch shared her journey getting started with myopia management, including how she educates patients, parents, and other health care professionals. She wrote: "We want our patients to be educated about the risks of untreated myopia, but we don’t want them to be scared into signing up for a treatment they have not thought long and hard about. I always emphasize what it is we’re trying to prevent."

Fractures of the talus bone in pediatric patients are exceptionally infrequent, primarily attributed to the greater flexibility of immature skeletal structures compared to fully developed bones in adults. Therefore, limited research exists regarding the long-term outcomes, clinical aspects, and appropriate treatment of these fractures in pediatrics. An eight-year-old male patient presented with swelling and pain in his right ankle after falling into a 10-meter well. Twelve days later, he sought medical attention and was examined by an orthopedic surgeon. X-ray examination showed a fracture in the head of the talus. Consequently, the fracture was reduced by open surgery and then stabilized with two Herbert screws. The patient’s progress was monitored regularly and subsequent imaging studies showed complete fracture healing. Within six months after the operation, the patient can resume his sporting activities before injury without any complications. Injuries to the head of the talus in childhood should be considered as fractures in the transitional phase. The open reduction coupled with internal fixation aims to decrease the occurrence of osteoarthritis and malalignment. In such cases, it is recommended to conduct a computed tomography (CT) scan for comprehensive evaluation and treatment planning. #Fractures, #TalusBone, #TransitionalPhase, #ComputedTomography

A multidisciplinary team at Medanta Gurugram successfully saved a newborn girl with Gastroschisis, a rare and life-threatening condition. Diagnosed at 18-20 weeks, the baby underwent immediate surgery post-birth and was stabilized in the NICU. This case underscores the importance of advanced facilities and a collaborative approach in neonatal care.👏 #PediatricSurgery #NeonatalCare #Gastroschisis #DaretoBeRare #PatientEmpowerment #HealthcareSolutions #PatientSafety #BeAnythingButOrdinary #LifeWithoutLimits #ChallengeWhatsPossible #PatientEmpowerment #DreamBigWithGusGear #GusGearAcrosstheGlobe [Image description: Clinical team in Medanta with the newborn baby this helped save.] https://bit.ly/3WIdiUn

This picture always takes my breath away, I remember crying looking at him, I remember being totally shell shocked in that moment. Within 24 hours of a routine pediatrics appointment we were told he needed a shunt, that he would have surgery the following day and given a small leaflet to read that attempted to explain hydrocephalus and shunts. I didn't sleep much the night before his surgery, I cried on a nurse. The moment we saw him in the recovery room was accompanied by a feeling of relief I can never fully articulate. To be honest we didn't really understand what was happening, I'm not sure when I was fully aware that he had undergone brain surgery. It took time to realise the shunt didn't "fix" everything but while working it did keep him well. We learnt slowly, and I'll be honest there were a lot of tears as we tried to understand our new reality. We're still learning but we know much more that we did. We want to make it easier and less lonely for families on this hydrocephalus journey. Hydrocephalus Awareness Month is a brilliant chance to spread a little bit of understanding. Please help us, share posts, tell your friends and share your stories. If just one family is spared from feeling lost and afraid that's a pretty amazing thing. "Knowledge will bring you the opportunity to make a difference." ~Claire Fagin #hydrocephalus #hydrocephalusawareness #vpshunt #AcquiredBrainInjury #braininjuryrecovery

Insightful Exchange with Gen Z Doctors from Indonesia Recently, I had the honour of engaging with a dynamic group of young doctors from various specialities – Pediatrics, General Practice, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Cardiology, Urology, and Surgery – during a Halal BiHalal session. Halal BiHalal, an Indonesian tradition, signifies forgiveness, reconnection, and strengthening of bonds after fasting. It was truly enriching to interact with these driven individuals! A standout takeaway from our conversation was the palpable enthusiasm among Gen Z doctors towards the ongoing digital transformation in the medical field. Here are some key insights from our discussions: - Many young doctors leverage digital platforms to stay updated on emerging diseases, cutting-edge treatments, and pediatric dosage guidelines. - They proactively seek knowledge and insights to enhance their clinical competence and elevate patient care standards. I'm excited to share more valuable insights from our thought-provoking exchange in the coming week! Stay tuned for updates on this fascinating topic. #HalalBiHalal #HealthcareTechnology #DigitalHealthcare #GenZDoctors #MedicalEducation #KnowledgeSharing
