TYPES OF SURGICAL SUTURE

-

 SUTURE is used by the doctor to close any wounds of your skin and other tissues.

TYPES OF SUTURE:  It is classified as either absorbable or nonabsorbable.

  • ABSORBABLE SUTURE: 

  1. Doesnt required any doctor to remove them.[ Dont waste your money in dr clinic]

  2. Now the reason why you dont require any doctor because your own body doctor having the potential to release enzymes from tissues capable to digest them.

  • NONABSORBABLE SUTURE:(need doctors)

  1. This suture need a doctor to remove them on specific date given by them after surgery.

  2. Some cases left in permanently.

Types of absorbable suture:

  • Polydioxanose:  synthetic monofilament suture used for the soft tissues wound repair eg:abdominal closures as well as for pediatric cardiac procedures.

  • Gut:  natural microfilament suture used for repairing internal soft tissue wounds. gut should not be used for cardiovascularar or neurological surgery. scars may be visible.
  • Poliglecaprone:synthetic monofilament suture used for soft tissue repair agin it not suitable for cardio and neurological procedures. it is mainly used to close skin in an invisible manner.
  • Polyglactin:synthetic  braided suture is good for repairing hand or facial lacerations and again not used in cardiovascular and neurological procedures.

Types of nonabsorbable suture:

  • Nylon: microfilament suture but its natural.

  • Polypropylene: it made from prolene , a microfilament suture.
  • Silk: braided natural suture, used for wound ligation. 
  • Polyester: braided synthetic suture composed of poly(ethylene terephthalate)

ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

-
Electrocardiogram Because the body fluids are good conductors (ie, because the body is a volume conductor), fluctuations in potential, representing the algebraic sum of the action potentials of myocardial fibers, can be recorded extracellularly. The record of these fluctuations in potential during the cardiac cycle is the ECG. The ECG may be recorded by using an active or exploring electrode connected to an indifferent electrode at zero potential (unipolar recording) or by using two active electrodes (bipolar recording). In a volume conductor, the sum of the potentials at the points of an equilateral triangle with a current source in the center is zero at all times. A triangle with the heart at its center (Einthoven triangle, see below) can be approximated by placing electrodes on both arms and on the left leg. These are the three standard limb leads used in electrocardiography. If these electrodes are connected to a common terminal, an indifferent electrode that stays near zero potent...

HEPATITIS A

-
  TYPE A HEPATITIS Type A Hepatitis(infectious hepatitis) is a subacute disease of global distribution effecting mainly children and young adults. CLINICAL FEATURES  : The large majority of infections are asymptomatic. Overt illness is seen in only about 5% . Incubation period is about 2-6 weeks. clinical disease consists of two stages: prodromal or preicteric icteric onset may be acute or insidious, with fever,malaise,anorexia,nausea,vomiting,and liver tenderness.Recovery is slow, over a periode of 4-6weeks. Very rarely a rapidly fatal fulminant hepatitis may occur. Mortality is low 0.1-1% with most of the deaths occurs in adults. HEPATITIS A VIRUS Morphology : HAV is a 27-nm,non enveloped RNA virus belongs to picornavirus family. HAV is recognised as the prototype of new genus  HEPATOVIRUS. Resistance :  HAV is resistant to inactivation by heat at 60'C for an hour, either and acid at  pH 3,but it is inactivated by boiling for 1 minute,1:4000 formaldehyde at 37...

Colon Carcinoma

  1. Colon Carcinoma The model of stepwise genetic alterations in cancer is best illustrated by observation of colonic lesions at different stages of progression to malignancy. Certain genetic alterations are found commonly in early-stage adenomas, whereas others tend to occur more frequently at later stages of tumorigenesis or after the development of invasive carcinoma. The timeline of genotypic and phenotypic changes during the development of colon cancer .These changes are in keeping with the concept that serial phenotypic changes, driven by serial genetic alterations, must occur in a cell for it to exhibit full malignant (invasive and metastatic) properties. The earliest molecular defect in the pathogenesis of colon cancer is activation of the Wnt signaling pathway, which occurs through the development of somatic mutations in the APC tumor suppressor gene in the normal colonic mucosa. This leads to abnormal cell proliferation and the initial steps in neoplasia that lead to fo...
