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.

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 Rating: / 5
Documentary about Joost Van Der Westhuizen, and his transition from Rugby World Cup winner to Motor Neuron Disease sufferer. Joost casts his mind back to the journey that culminated in winning the 1995 World Cup; a victory that changed South Africa’s political landscape in a post apartheid era. With the onset of Motor Neuron Disease in October 2010, Joost looks towards a new journey, with very different challenges. Produced in conjunction with OSN, “Joost Van Der Westhuizen: A Life of Two Halves”, is a story of how a man, who has won it all, sees an incurable disease as the opportunity to, “fix my life 110%”.

Severity of illness (SOI) is defined as the extent of organ system derangement or physiologic decompensation for a patient. It gives a medical classification into minor, moderate, major, and extreme. The SOI class is meant to provide a basis for evaluating hospital resource use or to establish patient care guidelines.
Patients are assigned their SOI based on their specific diagnoses and procedures performed during their medical encounter, which is generally an inpatient hospital stay. Patients with higher SOI (e.g. major or extreme) are more likely to consume greater healthcare resources and stay longer in hospitals than patients with lower SOI in the same DRG.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, also known as CMS, considered the 3M APR-DRG and SOI system as a potential evolution to the DRG system in 2006, but received such negative feedback from the industry that in March 2007 decided to adopt another internally developed system evolved from the DRG . SOI is still commonly used throughout the United States to adjust for patient complexity, so that physicians and other groups can compare resource utilization, complication rates, and length of stay.
It is easy to confuse the symptoms of Coronavirus infection with Fever and Flu. Some of the common symptoms include fever, dry cough, sore throat, breathing difficulty and runny nose. Dr S M Fayaz, an acclaimed General Physician with over 9 years of experience, helps us understand the difference between the Fever, Flu and Coronavirus Fever Symptoms. He answers some important questions like how to know if it is normal flu or Coronavirus fever, is fever a mandatory symptom of Coronavirus, what is the nature of fever during Coronavirus infection and what are the types of fever.

Video Transcript:
Patients come to us with flu symptoms and most of them have a panic situation that they have acquired COVID-19 disease. See, COVID-19 generally has a high grade of fever, point number 1
Point number 2, they have sore throat. One more thing is, they present with dry cough
And patients start to have difficulty in breathing
The fever is not subsiding even after three days
And the patient continues to have breathing difficulties
The definitely he has to consult a local physician
In normal flu, fever is generally in milder form
They have simple sore throat which subsides in three days on its own
Fever is a very simple term, but it has so much in it
There are fevers that do not have flu as well
Like, an episode of three to four days of fever
following which there is body pain, joints pain and all that
So in that case it might be a dengue fever or malarial fever
Malarial fevers generally present with fever with chills and all that
which occurs every two days
If a fever is not subsiding for three days then have to generally contact a physician
Fever is generally due to an infectious cause and an non infectious cause
The most common are infectious cause
Infectious fevers again the causes are multiple
Like bacterial infections are more common and viral fevers are more common
There are fungal infections, there will be parasitic infections as well
Like Malaria, Helmentia
Non infectious causes of fever are also plenty
All the cancers like Lymphoma, Leukemia, they present with persistent fevers running for long days
Drugs like Atropine can cause fever
In heat stroke too the patient might have a fever
which is a non infectious cause
So the reasons for fever are plenty
So we have to find out what are the causes of fever
for that you need to consult a physician
You cannot prevent most of the fevers
Few fevers like malaria and dengue, vector borne fevers can be controlled by effectively maintaining the hygiene around the environment
Cover19 disease, in which individual hygiene matters a lot
Maintaining hygiene of your hands, maintaining social distancing
and using masks in crowded places.
If the patient has fever with flu
I request them to just isolate themselves to a single room
And if the patient has any other symptoms aggravating like
high grade of fever is still persistent
or breathing difficulty or something like that is there
for that you need to consult a physician Video Rating: / 5
What are the benefits of Vitamin B? What are the symptoms of Vitamin B deficiency? What are Vitamin B rich foods? Are there any easy sources of Vitamin B complex? What are the types of Vitamin B? Who is prone to Vitamin B deficiency? Dr Rajesh Bhardwaj, a senior ENT specialist, tells us all about Vitamin B and its supplementation.
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. Video Rating: / 5
Discover what happens in your body when you have a fever and why its role in our immune response remains a mystery to scientists.
—
There are many mysteries around fever, but we do know that all mammals, some birds and even a few invertebrate and plant species feel fever’s heat. It has persisted for over 600 million years of evolution. But it has a significant cost: for every degree increase in temperature, there’s a 12.5% increase in energy required. So, why and how does your body produce a fever? Christian Moro investigates.

Watch what happens inside your body when you get the fever- https://youtu.be/IB9MQKmMVhI
Fever is one of the most common yet less understood phenomena. Most of the people get the fever at least once in a year. Still, very few people know what happens inside your body when you get the fever. When this simple looking fever could become deadly? or When the fiver can kill you?
The Hyperthermia is a term which describes the fever over 104F. This fever can really be dangerous for you. This video gives a detailed picture of Heperthermia in simple language. Video Rating: / 5
Chronic joint pain affects millions of people of people across the world every year. Thousands of patients routinely seek medical attention for joint pain, and it is one of the leading causes of disability.

To give you an estimate of the disease, in 2002, about 10.5 million people in the United States said they experienced severe joint pain, but by 2014 that number had jumped to 14.6 million, said researchers from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Severe Joint pain can limit a person’s ability to perform basic functions and seriously compromise their quality of life.
Luckily with strict precautions, good exercise, proper diet and supplementation joint pain can be managed. In this video we discuss five of the best foods that you should include in your diet if you are suffering from joint pain, and also the science behind it
Motor neurone disease is a devastatingly debilitating disease for which there is no known cure. The cause or causes of MND are largely unknown. An estimated 10% of cases are believed to be genetic. In the rest, experts believe there is an underlying genetic disposition that is triggered by environmental factors. A recent study out of Australia points to a causal link between incidents of motor neurone disease and chronic exposure to blue-green algae. We take a closer look at the research and ask what is lurking in our environment – from water systems to sports pitches and beyond.
The topic of which specific mechanism fevers act by is one of grand discussion which has also been fuelled by many myths and non-scientifically based assertions. This video provides an overview of the most prominent theories of the existence and action of fevers in immunological response. it discusses the processes that the human body undergoes while in a state of fever.
