In our centenary year we have reviewed landmark papers published in the BJA, as part of our citation classics series. In 1971, Prys-Roberts described the effect of anaesthesia on the cardiovascular system in 2 important papers. #bjacentenary #bjacitationclassics

As Glaucoma Awareness week drew to a close yesterday here in the UK, our Chief Medical Officer Gustavo De Moraes, MD, PhD, MPH and Medical Director Europe Doina Gherghel, MD PhD EMBA was in London attending the ICORG 2024 Alumni Meeting at Western Eye Hospital, part of our partners the North West London Alliance. Gus passionately states, "Despite major developments in diagnostics and treatment, glaucoma remains the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. This can only be changed through training of eye care providers, wider access to diagnostic imaging modalities, safer and more effective surgical options, and neuroprotective therapies. Ora is actively working in all these areas. Very few companies and organizations can make that claim, and we are optimistic about reversing the current scenario of the glaucoma burden worldwide." Ora is at the forefront, working with industry leaders to drive innovation and push boundaries to combat glaucoma.. Together, we can envision a future with clearer vision for all. #Ora #Ophthalmology #GlaucomaAwarenessWeek #EyeHealth #Innovation #VisionForAll

Welcome to our educational YouTube channel, where we delve into the intricacies of fetal echocardiography. In this video, we will focus on the Venae Cavae View, an essential imaging plane for evaluating the fetal heart and circulatory system. We will discuss the key anatomical landmarks visible in this view and highlight its clinical significance in diagnosing congenital heart defects and assessing fetal well-being. Key Anatomical Landmarks 1. Superior Vena Cava (SVC): - The SVC is one of the major veins that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium of the heart. In the Venae Cavae View, it appears as a large vessel entering the right atrium from above. 2. Inferior Vena Cava (IVC): - The IVC is another major vein responsible for returning deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium. It is visualized entering the right atrium from below in the Venae Cavae View. 3. Right Atrium: - The right atrium is the chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood from the venae cavae. Its size, shape, and function are important indicators of fetal cardiac health. 4. Interatrial Septum: - The interatrial septum separates the right and left atria of the heart. In the Venae Cavae View, it may be visualized as a thin, membranous structure. Clinical Significance 1. Assessment of Venous Return: - The Venae Cavae View provides valuable information about the venous return to the fetal heart. Abnormalities in the size or flow pattern of the SVC or IVC may indicate cardiac or circulatory abnormalities. 2. Evaluation of Right Atrial Size and Function: - By visualizing the right atrium in the Venae Cavae View, clinicians can assess its size and function. Enlargement or abnormal contractility may suggest underlying cardiac pathology. 3. Detection of Atrial Septal Defects (ASDs): - ASDs are congenital heart defects characterized by a hole in the interatrial septum. In the Venae Cavae View, the presence of abnormal blood flow between the right and left atria may indicate the presence of an ASD. 4. Monitoring Fetal Well-being: - Changes in venous return and right atrial function observed in the Venae Cavae View can provide valuable insights into fetal well-being and cardiovascular adaptation. Importance of the Venae Cavae View The Venae Cavae View is a fundamental component of a comprehensive fetal echocardiography examination. By carefully evaluating the venae cavae and right atrium, clinicians can detect structural abnormalities, assess cardiac function, and monitor fetal well-being. Early detection of congenital heart defects and other cardiac abnormalities allows for appropriate prenatal management and planning for postnatal care.

What is the one thing that we always somehow "forget" to explain our patients? Forget is a tricky word to say it, maybe I should say, we don't want? Natural history. Today a patient came to my treatment and said he does not have anymore pain, after a couple of treatments. He was looking at me like I am a God. "You saved me! You saved my elbow!" I was smiling, but then put the ball on the court and explained that my hands are not godlike nor am I almighty God. I explained him that it could be in fact the possibility that he would get the same result without physiotherapy with enough time that passed by. There are known time frames for each tissue how long should we expect that it takes for a tissue to heal. Therefore, this case could be just a right example. Of course, this does not mean that I did not gave my best, quite contrary. I just explained that in a lot of cases, a lot of injuries, there is a lot smaller spectrum of things for which are we and only we (physios) responsible. I also explained that physiotherapy in general has a lot of indirect effects which can accelerate the healing process. I think that it is very important that the patient understands this concepts and does not see us as almighty Gods and I also think it is better to hold the ball on the court, objectively assesing the results. Of course, you could play a God but Gods end up being played. #physioterapy #rehabilitation #physiotherapyswitzerland #switzerland #injuries
