Your score is The average score is 0% Description Sepsis Overview:Sepsis is a life-threatening condition where the body’s immune system reacts excessively to an infection, causing tissue and organ damageIn 2017, there were 48.9 million cases globally and 11 million deaths.Sepsis affects anyone but is more common in the elderly, young, pregnant women, or those with chronic health conditions. Definition:Sepsis occurs when an infection triggers a chain reaction in the body Pathophysiology of Sepsis:1.Infection triggers immune response: The immune system overreacts to infections (bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic)2-Release of cytokines: Cells release IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and other mediators, causing inflammation.3.Vasodilation and permeability: Blood vessels dilate and leak, leading to hypotension4-Decreased cardiac output: Blood volume drops, reducing oxygen delivery to organs5.Tissue hypoxia and acidosis: Lack of oxygen leads to lactic acid build-up.6.Coagulation: Impaired blood clotting results in DIC.7-Multi-organ dysfunction: Key organs (heart, lungs, kidneys) are affected.8-Septic shock: Persistent low blood pressure without treatment can lead to septic shock. Causes of Sepsis:-Bacterial infections: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are common.-Viral infections: Influenza and COVID-19.-Fungal infections: Candida and Aspergillus.-Parasitic infections: Malaria (Plasmodium).-Infection sources: Pneumonia, urinary tract infections, abdominal infections, and skin infections.-Healthcare-associated infections: Infections from catheters, ventilators, or surgery.-Weakened immunity: People with compromised immune systems (chemotherapy, organ transplants) are more vulnerable. Clinical Features (TIME mnemonic):T – Temperature: High fever or low temperatureI – Infection signs: Symptoms vary (e.g., cough, shortness of breath, abdominal pain)M – Mental status: Confusion or difficulty wakingE – Extremely ill: Severe discomfort, pain, and shortness of breath Clinical Criteria for Diagnosing Sepsis:1,Infection suspected (bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic)2.qSOFA score:Systolic BP ≤ 100 mmHgRespiratory rate ≥ 22 breaths/minAltered mental statusqSOFA score ≥ 2 suggests higher risk3.NEWS score: NEWS ≥ 5 predicts sepsis risk based on RR, BP, and oxygen levels. Treatment for Sepsis:Blood cultures: Obtain before starting antibiotics.Lactate levels: Elevated lactate (≥ 2 mmol/L) indicates tissue hypoxia.Urine output: Monitor for over 0.5 mL/kg/h to assess kidney function.IV fluids: Start 30 mL/kg within the first hour to treat hypotension.Oxygen therapy: Maintain oxygen saturation ≥ 94% (unless chronic respiratory issues are present).Antibiotics: Administer broad-spectrum antibiotics within the first hour.Vasopressors: If fluids fail to restore BP, use vasopressors (e.g., norepinephrine) to maintain a MAP ≥ 65 mmHg.Monitoring: Track blood pressure, lactate, and urine output to ensure effective treatment. Clinical Scenario Example:Assessment: Patient with low BP (88 mmHg), rapid breathing, and confusion.Treatment: Start IV fluids, monitor BP, administer vasopressors if needed, give antibiotics immediately. Transcript Introduction0:00Sepsis is a serious condition that happens when the body’s immune system has an extreme response0:05to an infection, and this extreme immune response causes damage to its own tissue and organs.0:11A study done in 2017 showed that there were 48.9 million cases worldwide, and 11 million0:19sepsis-related deaths in the same year. It’s a very deadly condition and it’s crucial to be able0:25to recognize it early, and know what to do. Sepsis can affect anyone, but people who0:30are older, very young, pregnant or have other health problems are at higher risk.0:34So, in this video, we’re going to answer the question what is sepsis?Content0:38And we’re going to do that by going through the definition. Then go through the pathophysiology0:43for Sepsis, basically what happens within the body. Then we’re going to0:47talk a little bit about the causes. After that we’ll briefly go through0:51what the symptoms of Sepsis are using

Transcript 0:00Joints. They come in many forms, but at their core, joints exist to link bones0:05together and allow movement. Some let you rotate your arm in every direction,0:10some move just a little bit, and some, like the joints in your skull, don’t move at all.0:16You don’t really think about them, until something goes wrong. When joints wear down,0:21become inflamed, or stop working properly, even the simplest movements can become difficult.0:27So, why are some joints flexible while others are completely rigid? What makes0:32one joint allow movement while another barely moves at all? And how do we actually classify0:38all the different joints in the body? In this video, we’ll start by answering0:43the fundamental question – what are joints? Then, we’ll go through all the joints in the body and0:49classify them based on their structure and function. As we go through them,0:54we’ll also highlight their clinical relevance, understanding how joint problems develop and0:58what makes them vulnerable to damage. Hey everyone, my name is Taim. I’m a1:02medical doctor, and I make animated medical lectures to make different topics in medicine1:06visually easier to understand. If you’d like a PDF version or a quiz of this presentation, you can1:11find it on my website, along with organized video lectures to help with your studies.1:15Alright, let’s get started! So what are joints?What are Joints?1:19Just, in simple terms, The point at which two bones lay adjacent to each1:24other (with or without the ability to move) is called a joint. Let’s visualize this.1:30Here we see a bone. Here is another bone. The point at which they lay adjacent to1:35each other is a joint. Here are two bones, between them, a joint. Here are two bones,1:41between them a joint. And even, I’ll surprise you now. Even between your skull bones, is a joint.1:48So joints come in different shape, and they are structurally and functionally different.1:54For example. The shoulder joint is1:56called the glenohumeral joint. Structurally, we call this a Synovial joint, Functionally,2:02it’s a Diarthrosis, since it’s a freely movable joint. And we subclassify it as a ball-and-socket2:09joint, which provides free rotational movement. Between the articular surfaces of vertebrae,2:15we got the facet joint, or zygapophyseal joints. They are synovial joints,2:20functionally movable so diarthrosis as well, but subclassified as plane joint,2:26allowing only gliding movements. Okay, let’s take another example, in the skull we got2:32sutures. Or lambdoid suture is what we’re pointing at specifically now. Structurally,2:37it’s a strong fibrous joint. And functionally, a Synarthrosis, meaning a joint that does

Meditay here and in this video, we’ll be going through the thoracolumbar fascia.0:08The thoracolumbar fascia is a large roughly diamond shapes area of connective tissue inThoracolumbar Fascia0:13the lumbar region, as you see here. The good thing with this fascia is that it organizes0:18muscles in the lumbar region into groups and it also functions as a main attachment0:23point to large muscles like the trapezius, Latissimus Dorsi and the Gluteus Maximus.0:28And to go through this fascia, we need to look at a cross section of the back. So here’s aParts of the Thoracolumbar Fascia0:33superior view of one of the Lumbar vertebra. The thoracolumbar fascia is organized into0:39three layers. It has a Posterior Layer, which is the most superficial. It has a middle layer,0:44as you see here. And it has an anterior layer. Aight. So, the Posterior Layer, cover all0:50the deep back muscles, You know all the muscles of the transversospinal system,0:54of the spinotransverse system and the spinospinal system, this one is going to cover them.1:00Between the middle layer and the anterior layer, there’s the quadratus lumborum,1:04which is the posterior muscle of the abdomen. Then, from the anterior layer and the middle1:09layer, you’ll find the lateral abdominal muscles attached to them,1:12like the transverse abdominal muscle, and the Internal oblique muscle. The external oblique1:18is indirectly attached to the thoracolumbar fascia, not directly, as you see here.1:23And then the anterior layer is going to cover the psoas major from the posterior surface.1:28So that was everything I had for the Thoracolumabr fascia, and I hope that was helpful.

Meditay here and in this video, we’ll be covering the Superficial muscles of0:08the back. Alright. Generally, the muscles of the back consist of superficial musclesDivision of the Superficial Muscles0:13and deep muscles. So let’s take a closer look at the superficial muscles.0:17These muscles are divided into layers. So, the 1st layer is the most superficial one.0:22It consist of the Trapezius, as you see here, and the Latissimus Dorsi.0:27The 2nd layer are the Rhomboid Major, Rhomboid Minor and Levator Scapula, and the 3rd layer of0:33muscles consists of the Serratus Posterior superior and Serratus Posterior inferior.0:39So these are the muscles we’re going to go through throughout this video.0:42We’ll start with the 1st Layer, the Trapezius. Now the trapezius Is this large muscleTrapezius0:48that take up the majority of your shoulders. They can also be classified as a cardiothoracic muscle,0:53in addition to being one of the superficial muscles of the back.0:57Now the Trapezius consists of 3 parts. There’s a Superior Part, a Middle part and an inferior part.1:04The superior part will originate from the Superior nuchal line, the external occipital protuberance,1:10and the nuchal ligament. It’s then going to insert1:13at the Acromial end of the clavicle, as you see here, as well as the acromion of the scapula.1:19Then we have the middle part, which originates from the spinous process of the C7-T3 or T4,1:26and it’s going to insert at the Spine of the Scapula as you see here, and the acromion.1:32Then we have the Inferior Part, which originates from the spinous process of T4-T121:38and insert at the spine of scapula as well. Ok. So what is the function of the Trapezius?1:44The Inferior part will pull the shoulder downwards, Middle and superior fibers1:49will pull the scapula towards the midline, as well as elevating the scapula. They may

Meditay here and in this video, we’ll be going through0:06the Fascia you’ll find in the Abdomen. So the fascia of the abdomen vover theMuscles of the Abdomen0:11muscles of the abdomen from both the external and internal side. So here I’ve cut through all the0:16muscle layers of the abdomen. And remember, they consist of the external oblique, Internal Oblique0:22and Transverse Abdominal Muscle. These three at considered as the lateral abdominal muscles.0:27And we have the Anterior abdominal Muscles, like the Rectus Abdominis.0:30Our goal in this video is to go through the fascia that you’ll find wrapping around these muscles,0:36and separating them from the organs within the abdominal cavityContent0:39So In this video, we’re going to go through the Superficial Fascia,0:43we’ll go thrgouh the Investing Abdominal Fascia. And we’ll go thrgouh the Endoabdominal Fascia.0:48And to do that, we’ll have to make a transverse cut of the abdomen. Remove the upper half,0:53and look at it from this perspective. And now we’re gonna try to draw all0:57the structures and go through them as we do that. First we have the Skin.1:01And right underneath the skin layers, we’ll find the adipose tissue, or fat cells. Underneath the1:07fat cells, we can find the External Oblique. Internal Oblique, and Transverse Abdominal1:12Muscle. And in the middle here we can find the Rectus Abdominis muscle. So this is a very1:16schematic outline of the abdominal muscles. The first fascia we’re gonna go thrgouh isSuperficial Fascia1:21associated with the fat Layer. The fascia that cover the fat layer from the superficial side1:26is called Fascia of Camper. And the fascia that cover it from the inner side, is called1:31Fascia of Scarpa. The two layers of fascia together, form the so called Superficial Fascia.1:38So that’s the first one in our list. Next we have a Fascia called Investing Abdominal Fascia.Investing Abdominal Fascia1:45And as the name implies, this fascia is going to surround the abdominal muscles.1:49So the investing abdominal fascia si divided into three layers.1:54First is the Superficial investing abdominal fascia, aurrounding the external oblique.1:59Then there’s the Intermediate Investing abdominal fascia, surrounding the internal Oblique.2:04Then there’s the Deep investing abdominal fascia, surrounding the transverse abdominal muscle. Now.2:10Underneath the Deep investing abdominal fascia, that’s where you’ll find the third fascia we’reEndoabdominal Fascia2:15gonna talk about, called the endoabdominal fascia. And just underneath the endoabdominal fascia,2:21that’s where you’ll find the Parietal peritoneum, which over all of your internal organs.2:28Now, the endoabdominal fascia is actually divided into certain parts depending on the location of2:34it, So let’s look at that a little bit. So now we’re gonna draw the lateral view of he abdomen.2:38First we have the Skin, then the Fat cells, then The external oblique, Internal Oblique

Meditay here and in this video, we’ll be going through the0:07muscles you’ll find in the abdominal region. So here you see the anterior view of the Abdomen.Division of the Abdominal Muscles0:12And here I’ve cut through all the muscles of the abdomen in order to se them all. The most0:17external muscle of the abdomen is the External Oblique Muscle.0:21Then there’s the Internal Oblique muscle, and then the Transverse Oblique Muscle. These three muscles0:27are a part of the Lateral Abdominal Muscles, or lateral groups. So the muscles of the abdomen0:31are organized into three groups. And these are the lateral group. Then we have the Rectus Abdominis,0:37and a tiny muscle called Pyramidalis. These two are considered the Anterior Group of muscles.0:44And then the Posterior group has only one muscle, which is this one,0:48called the quadratus lumborum. So, these are the muscles we’re going to focus on in this video.0:53All of the muscles of the abdomen corporate in their function.0:57They corporate in flexing your abdomen, rotating it from one side to another and so on. All of them1:03also corporate with the diaphragm during breathing, and they do that by regulating1:08the intra abdominal pressure by either squeeze your abdomen, to push your air out, or releasing1:13the pressure off from your abdomen to allow the diaphragm to expand volume of the thoracic cavity1:19to push air into the lungs. Awesome. Now let’s start with the posterior group.1:23Then we’ll do the anterior group and then end with the lateral group. So the Quadratus Lumborum,Quadratus Lumborum1:28again, is situated on the posterior abdominal wall, as you see here. It originates from the1:34Iliac crest and the Iliolumbar ligament. And it inserts at the 12th rib, as well as1:39the costal processes of L1 to L4. And its function is either extension of the trunk during bilateral1:46contraction, or Lateral flexion of the trunk, if only one side

Now0:08let’s do the topography of the Thigh and the Topography of the Leg.Thigh Topography Overview0:11So the topography of the thigh consists of the Femoral Triangle,0:14Adductor Canal and the Popliteal Fossa. So let’s start with the femoral triangle.Femoral Triangle0:19The femoral triangle is a region in the anterior thigh of a triangular zone0:23that will help ou identify many structures within this part of our body. And ot help you remember0:29the sequence of the structures within the femoral triangle, I like to use the mnemonic Navel.0:34Which will help remember the order from the lateral moving medially, that the femoral nerve0:39is the most lateral structure within the space. Followed by the femoral artery. The femoral vein0:44and then the lymphatics. So let’s now take a closer look at the boundaries of this area.0:49The first thing that we’re gonna see is that the lateral border is gonna be0:52formed by the sartorius muscle. The superior border is going to0:56be the inguinal ligament, and the medial border is going to be one of the adductor1:00muscles. The adductor Longus muscle. In other words, The base of the triangle1:05is actually going to be the inguinal ligament. And the apex is directed inferiomedially.1:10Deep to the contents. The floor of this area is going to be made by the Iliopsoas laterally,1:16and the pectineus medially, as you see here. So that was the Femoral Triangle.Adductor Canal1:21Now let’s cover a canal called the adductor canal. The adductor canal is a special region within the1:27thigh, that is going to allow a passage for the femoral artery and the femoral vein to run down1:33through the thigh. And once they reach the end of the thigh, they’re going to go posteriorly1:38into a region called the popliteal fossa as these two vessels become,1:42he popliteal artery and the popliteal vein. To better visualize the canal, I’ve cut a window1:48through two of the muscles on the anterior compartment of the thigh.1:51The first of which is the sartorius muscle. As you see here. This muscle is going to form the roof of1:56the adductor canal. Meaning that the structures that is going to within this space, is going to2:01lie deep to the sartorius muscle. Therefore, I needed to cut a window through this muscle2:06to allow us to see the path of those vessels. I’ve also cut through the vastus medialis, which is one2:11of the large quadriceps muscles, which is going to be on the medial aspect of the knee.
