Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes painful conditions associated with the knee, the etiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests and special maneuvers, and treatment options.
Common knee problems:
Patellar chondromalacia
•chronic pain due to softening of the cartilage beneath the kneecap.
•Chronic knee pain from mild to complete erosion of the cartilage in the back of the kneecap.
•Pain in the front of the knee.
•Occurs more in young people.
•Becomes worse from climbing up and down the stairs.
•Treatment: usually therapy, NSAIDS.
Patellar bursitis
•Pain and inflammation located in the front of the kneecap.
•The bursa becomes inflamed and fills with fluid at the top of the knee.
•Causes pain, swelling, tenderness and a lump in the area on top of the kneecap.
Ligament injury

Strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis)- pathophysciology, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

“GAS or streptococcus pyogenes is the most common bacterial cause of acute tonsillitis.
Here is a mouth with pharyngotonsilitis, inflammation of both the pharynx and tonsils. Here is a photo of bacterial tonsillitis. Pharyngotonsillitis caused by GAS is sometimes referred to as strep throat. The majority of episodes of pharyngitis are caused by viral infections which are usually treated conservatively. However, early recognition of s.pyogenes is important since failure to appropriately treat strep throat may lead to GAS complications. Unfortunately, distinguishing between viral and bacteria can be difficult.

The group a streptococcus are beta haemolytic cocci able to produce some exotoxins and also contain many surface antigens that play a vital role in its pathophysiology such as m proteins. Transmission of strep throat is through saliva and nasal secretion from an infected person.”

3 drug free remedies for knee pain you may not of heard of

joint No Comments »

Three drug-free remedies for knee pain you may not have heard of.

1. Pulsed electromagnetic frequency (worn)
2. Collagen protein (ingested)
3. Cetylated fatty acid (topical)

Knee pain is one of the most common pains in the body. It can occur from injury, post-surgically, or with repeated stress.

Common knee conditions are sprained ligament, meniscus or cartilage damage, tendonitis, bursitis, or wear and tear related to arthritis. Some people can develop knee pain caused by an irritated nerve in the back. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, stiffness, clicking, and popping. 700,000 meniscus surgeries are performed per year despite 3 randomized controlled trials showing no benefit vs sham surgery or PT. A similar number of knee replacements are performed each year in the U.S. One third of knee replacement patients continue to have pain and one in five is dissatisfied with the results.

The three drug free remedies discussed are:

1. Pulsed electromagnetic frequency
Actipatch- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26235410, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31140929, LBP https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27910725

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26705327
Low levels of electromagnetic radiation, charge the mitochondria, increase cellular energy, reduce inflammatory chemicals.
PEMF could alleviate pain and improve physical function for patients with knee and hand OA

2. Collagen

Collagen peptides
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides

`Reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, changes in membrane fluidity and signal transduction pathways reducing the proteoglycan degrading enzyme activity, and release of leukotriene B4 from neutrophils have been hypothesized.
-it can be safely prescribed as self- and on-demand treatment.
-In conclusion, the administration of topical CFA may mitigate the most common symptoms in knee OA.
-Findings suggest that topical CFA is effective in all knee OA patients with slightly higher evidence for those with advanced disease.
Dose; apply twice a day, 1-2 mos

If not of these help after 1-2 months then it may not be the treatment for you.

Chondrosarcoma: Bone Cancer in Arm, Pelvis, Knee Cartilage Cells

joint No Comments »

This type of cancer grows in the cartilage cells, the connective tissue, in the body. Chondrosarcoma is typically found in the femur, arm, pelvis, knee and spine. Gregory Domson, MD, explains this bone cancer and the treatment options.

For more information: https://uvahealth.com/services/bone-cancer/chondrosarcoma

Chondrosarcoma is a malignancy. It’s a type of cancer that arises from cartilage cells. So, cartilage is really that kind of smooth surface on the end of your bones that helps with gliding of the joints.

Chondrosarcoma, like most bone cancers, starts with bone pain or a mass. The treatment options for chondrosarcoma are usually surgery alone. Cartilage tumors don’t respond as well to radiation treatment and chemotherapy, and so typically surgery is the standard of care.

Surgery for chondrosarcoma can be radical surgery, like an amputation. It can be limb salvage surgery, where we resect a portion of the bone and reconstruct the bone. Also, it can be less invasive surgery where we scrape out the tumor and reconstruct the bone. Not many surgeons are familiar or very comfortable doing resection of chondrosarcoma and reconstruction once the tumor is out. And so often times they go to a tertiary care center to seek a musculoskeletal oncologist, like myself here at UVA.

Video Transcript:

Introduction
Sometimes, certain people may be deficient in Vitamin B. There are some signs that are
indicative of a deficiency of Vitamin B complex. A simple blood test is done to determine your
serum B complex levels and that will tell you whether you are deficient and if you're deficient
you can take supplementation!

Understanding Vitamin B
Vitamin B Complex is a large group of vitamins – Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12.
They are also called by their individual names Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid,
Pyridoxine, Biotin, Folic Acid and Cobalamin.

Importance of Vitamin B
They are all important for bodily functions. They are the building blocks of the human body and
are critical for the human body function. They are responsible for cellular metabolism,
maintaining mental activities and energy levels. Vitamin B complex helps build up red blood
cells or hemoglobin, enables us to have good vision, maintains good cellular function, and are
responsible for neural and muscular functions. They create and help us to have a good appetite.
They are responsible for heart function. Very importantly, pregnant women need a sufficient
amount of Vitamin B Complex for the fetus to develop well, without defects.

Signs of deficiency
These are skin rashes, cracks around the mouth like dryness and cracking scaly lesions on the
lips, swollen tongue, fatigue, weakness, anaemia, irritability or depression, sometimes mental
confusion, Nausea, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. These are some of the common
symptoms of vitamin B complex deficiency.

People who are prone to Vitamin B deficiency
People who are more at risk of developing vitamin B complex deficiency are those who have
celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic alcohol users and sometimes, people with rheumatoid
arthritis and Crohn's disease and HIV. People with these diseases may not be able to absorb
enough vitamin B complex from the intestine and they suffer from deficiencies.

Sources of Vitamin B
Vitamin B12 is readily available to us in a variety of food forms from milk, cheese, eggs and
meat. It is also available to us in green leafy vegetables like spinach. You can also get it from
cereals like wheat germ. It is readily available in nutritional yeast, nuts and seeds, which have
plenty of vitamin B complex. Also, fruits such as citrus fruits, banana and watermelon contain
good quantities of Vitamin B complex.

Do we need vitamin B complex supplementation?
As we have seen most of us get it from our daily food and we do not need supplementation.
There are certain situations where you might need to supplement particularly those who suffer
from chronic alcoholism. Additionally, pregnant ladies may need extra folic acid so that they can
have healthy babies. Those who eat a purely vegetarian diet can sometimes be nutritionally
deficient and sometimes they may be deficient in Vitamin B.
