𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗚𝗨𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗡𝗦𝗔𝗜𝗗𝘀 NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are a class of medications commonly used to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and lower fever. They work by inhibiting enzymes involved in the inflammatory process. Mechanism of Action 🔴NSAIDs primarily inhibit the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes: 1. COX-1: Found in most tissues and involved in maintaining normal physiological functions, such as protecting the stomach lining, maintaining kidney function, and supporting platelet aggregation. 2. COX-2: Induced during inflammation and involved in pain and swelling. 🔴By inhibiting these enzymes, NSAIDs reduce the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain, fever, and inflammation. Common Types of NSAIDs 1. Non-selective NSAIDs (inhibit COX-1 and COX-2): 🔸Ibuprofen 🔸Naproxen 🔸Aspirin 🔸Diclofenac 🔸Indomethacin 2. COX-2 selective inhibitors (coxibs): 🔸Celecoxib 🔸Etoricoxib 3. Partially selective NSAIDs: 🔸Meloxicam 🔸Nabumetone Uses of NSAIDs 🔵 Pain relief: Headaches, dental pain, muscle pain, and menstrual cramps. 🔵 Inflammation: Arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis), tendinitis, and bursitis. 🔵 Fever reduction: Especially in conditions like the flu. 🔵 Cardiovascular protection: Low-dose aspirin is used to prevent blood clots in individuals at risk of heart attack or stroke. Benefits 🟣 Effective in treating mild to moderate pain. 🟣 Available in both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription forms. 🟣 Wide range of formulations (tablets, capsules, creams, injections). Adverse Effects 1. Gastrointestinal (GI): - Gastritis, ulcers, bleeding, and perforation. - Increased risk with long-term use and in individuals with a history of GI issues. 2. Cardiovascular: - COX-2 inhibitors, in particular, may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. - Non-selective NSAIDs (except aspirin) may also have cardiovascular risks. 3. Renal: - Reduced kidney function, particularly in dehydrated patients or those with pre-existing kidney disease. 4. Hepatic: - Rare cases of liver toxicity, especially with prolonged use. 5. Others: - Allergic reactions (rash, anaphylaxis). - Exacerbation of asthma in sensitive individuals. Precautions 🚨Patients with a history of ulcers, cardiovascular disease, or kidney disease. 🚨Drug Interactions: - Warfarin or other anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk). - ACE inhibitors and diuretics (may reduce renal function). - Methotrexate and lithium (risk of toxicity).

🌠Double-Layer Mucoperiosteal Flap Technique🌠 ☄️The most useful technique for clefts involves less than 1/3 of the width of the hard palate. 🚨Traumatic clefted palates considered as emergency due to the risk of aspiration fluids and food particles which threaten the animal life. ☄️The nasal cavity should be flushed with saline to remove purulent exudate and foreign bodies then swabbing the oral cavity with diluted chlorhexidine solution. ☄️In a dorsal recumbency, head is placed on a soft pad, with ET-tube secured and fixed to the mandible, taping with the lower jaw and tongue. ☄️Surgical technique: -Create bilateral flaps based on the edges of the cleft with preservation of the palatine artery which supply the flaps. -The mucoperiosteum is elevated from the hard palate by a periosteal elevator with the major palatine artery. -The nasal mucosa and mucoperiosteum are apposed in two layers over the hard palate defect. -Appose the nasal mucosal edges at the margin of the defect with buried interrupted sutures. -Roll the flaps over the cleft to create epithelium-lined closure. -Suturing the two flaps together at midline with tension free interrupted pattern using 910 polyglactin suture material. ☄️Post-operative care: -Feeding soft blended food for 1 week using feeding tube, continue on soft palatable diet for a month. -Spray the oral cavity with mouth wash QID. -Broad spectrum antibiotic for the purulent discharge for 5-7 days. -Chew toys, hard objects or dry food should be withheld for a minimum of month to avoid the suture dehiscence which's the main complication encountered in cleft palate repair. Our patient is doing so well now Elhamdullah, We ought to send flying thanks to our cooperative team-working, there're unlimited hidden huge efforts behind the senses unfortunately it couldn't be captured.. Thanks for all these huge efforts which shapen this final result, I always have to say this and I always will.♥️ By: Dr. ahmad tarek Barakat

Antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and while there is still much to achieve, we must take a moment to celebrate how far we’ve come.   This year marks 25 years since the World Assembly of WOAH Delegates adopted a resolution calling for the development of the first guidelines on AMR in the animal health sector. Since then, several important milestones have been achieved, demonstrating that targeted strategies—notably WOAH’s AMR Strategy—can yield substantial benefits, even in the face of this complex issue.   During World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, I invite you to explore our latest report, which highlights the remarkable progress made by the animal health sector in tackling AMR. These successes reflect the dedication of veterinarians, policymakers, and global partners.   Let’s use this momentum to continue driving change and protecting the health of animals, humans, and our environment. Together, we can make a difference.  #WAAW

The Quadripartite Working Group on Youth Engagement for Antimicrobial Resistance is looking to bring together young people from diverse fields to engage with the Working Group, contribute to future projects, and share their ideas for boosting youth involvement in the #AMR response, in a virtual consultation.

Echocardiography in a Orangutan in Toronto Zoo, Canada 🦧 🇨🇦 This week, I am helping out with the health screening (including an echocardiographic examination) of a few Great Apes in Toronto Zoo. I have tried to raise awareness for heart problems in Great Apes in the past, and I will continue to do so, but I wanted to share this picture for another reason: The people in the background (literally). 👥 Toronto Zoo rightfully prides itself for its communication and transparency on the health screening and treatment of their animals and the public is invited to come and see these procedures (including very tricky ones). Their members can even follow all of these via a livestream! Transparency raises awareness, awareness benefits the care. 📢 PS: Having said that, I was initially quite nervous, being another unusually tall ginger on display yesterday. 🟧 Great teamwork! Have a lovely day everyone, Laurent ⚕️ ❤️ Toronto Zoo #conservation #orangutan #teamwork #veterinary #cardiology
