    Total Ankle Replacement Find out why the Exactech Ankle may be right for you. UNDERSTANDING ANKLE REPLACEMENT This brochure offers a brief overview of ankle anatomy, arthritis and ankle replacement. This information is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace the expert guidance of your physician. Please direct any questions or concerns you may have to your doctor. 02 ANKLE ARTHRITIS YOUR ANKLE Your ankle is made up of a variety of bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage that connect at the junction of your leg and foot. The joint works like a hinge and is responsible for moving your foot up and down. The tibia (shinbone), talus and fibula (smaller bone in the lower leg) are the bones that construct the ankle joint. Your ligaments border these bones on either side, holding them together to provide stability. Meanwhile the tendons connect the muscles to the bone and are responsible for the ankle and toe movements. Covering your bones is a smooth substance called cartilage, which acts as a cushion to reduce the friction between your bones as they move. If your cartilage wears down, arthritis can develop and cause loss of motion and pain. TIBIA FIBULA TALUS CALCANEUS METATARSAL V 03 ARTHRITIC ANKLE HEALTHY ANKLE Nearly half of individuals over the age of 60 have foot or ankle arthritis. 04 ARTHRITIS Nearly half of individuals over the age of 60 have foot or ankle arthritis that may not cause symptoms.1 However, for those suffering from ankle arthritis pain the most reported causes are:2 • Rheumatoid arthritis - It is an autoimmune disease that attacks multiple joints and typically starts in the hands and feet.

  • Acr–Nasci–Sir–Spr Practice Parameter for the Performance and Interpretation of Body Computed Tomography Angiography (Cta)
    The American College of Radiology, with more than 30,000 members, is the principal organization of radiologists, radiation oncologists, and clinical medical physicists in the United States. The College is a nonprofit professional society whose primary purposes are to advance the science of radiology, improve radiologic services to the patient, study the socioeconomic aspects of the practice of radiology, and encourage continuing education for radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and persons practicing in allied professional fields. The American College of Radiology will periodically define new practice parameters and technical standards for radiologic practice to help advance the science of radiology and to improve the quality of service to patients throughout the United States. Existing practice parameters and technical standards will be reviewed for revision or renewal, as appropriate, on their fifth anniversary or sooner, if indicated. Each practice parameter and technical standard, representing a policy statement by the College, has undergone a thorough consensus process in which it has been subjected to extensive review and approval. The practice parameters and technical standards recognize that the safe and effective use of diagnostic and therapeutic radiology requires specific training, skills, and techniques, as described in each document. Reproduction or modification of the published practice parameter and technical standard by those entities not providing these services is not authorized. Revised 2021 (Resolution 47)* ACR–NASCI–SIR–SPR PRACTICE PARAMETER FOR THE PERFORMANCE AND INTERPRETATION OF BODY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY (CTA) PREAMBLE This document is an educational tool designed to assist practitioners in providing appropriate radiologic care for patients.

Basic Principles • Office-based procedure • Adapted from gynecologic colposcopy. • Validated for anal canal. • Similar terminology and descriptors. may be unfamiliar to non-gyn providers. • Comparable to vaginal and vulvar colposcopy. • Clinicians familiar with cervical colposcopy may be surprised by the difficult transition. Anal SCJ & AnTZ • Original vs. current SCJ less relevant. • TZ features less common, therefore more difficult to appreciate. • SCJ more subtle, difficult to see in entirety requires more manipulation & acetic acid. • Larger area of metaplastic changes overlying columnar epithelium compared to endocervix. • Most lesions found in the AnTZ. Atypical Metaplasia • Atypical metaplasia may indicate the presence of HSIL. • Radiate over distal rectum from SCJ. • Thin, may wipe off. • Features to look for indicating potential lesions: • Atypical clustered glands (ACG) • Lacy metaplastic borders (LM) • Epithelial Honeycombing (EH) Lugol’s. Staining • More utility in anus compared to cervix. • Adjunctive to help define borders, distinguish between possible LSIL/HSIL. • Most HSIL will be Lugol’s negative • LSIL may be Lugol’s partial or negative • Applied focally with small cotton swabs to better define an acetowhite lesion. •NOT a short cut to determine presence or absence of lesions, acetic acid is used first and is applied frequently. Anal vs. Cervical Characteristics • Punctation & Mosaic rarely “fine” mostly “coarse”. • Mosaic pattern mostly associated with HSIL. • Atypical vessels may be HSIL or cancer • Epithelial honeycombing & lacy metaplasia unique anal descriptors.

  • Equilibrium Radionuclide Angiography/ Multigated Acquisition
    EQUILIBRIUM RADIONUCLIDE ANGIOGRAPHY/ MULTIGATED ACQUISITION Equilibrium Radionuclide Angiography/ Multigated Acquisition S van Eeckhoudt, Bravis ziekenhuis, Roosendaal VJR Schelfhout, Rijnstate, Arnhem 1. Introduction Equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA), also known as radionuclide ventriculography (ERNV), gated synchronized angiography (GSA), blood pool scintigraphy or multi gated acquisition (MUGA), is a well-validated technique to accurately determine cardiac function. In oncology its high reproducibility and low inter observer variability allow for surveillance of cardiac function in patients receiving potentially cardiotoxic anti-cancer treatment. In cardiology it is mostly used for diagnosis and prognosis of patients with heart failure and other heart diseases. 2. Methodology This guideline is based on available scientifi c literature on the subject, the previous guideline (Aanbevelingen Nucleaire Geneeskunde 2007), international guidelines from EANM and/or SNMMI if available and applicable to the Dutch situation. 3. Indications Several Class I (conditions for which there is evidence and/or general agreement that a given procedure or treatment is useful and effective) indications exist: • Evaluation of left ventricular function in cardiac disease: - Coronary artery disease - Valvular heart disease - Congenital heart disease - Congestive heart failure • Evaluation of left ventricular function in non-cardiac disease: - Monitoring potential cardiotoxic side effects of (chemo)therapy - Pre-operative risk stratifi cation in high risk surgery • Evaluation of right ventricular function: - Congenital heart disease - Mitral valve insuffi ciency - Heart-lung transplantation 4. Contraindications None 5.

Medical Director, CRH Medical Corp; 2. Minnesota Gastroenterology, Chief of Gastroenterology, Abbott-Northwestern Hospital, Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Minnesota Abstract symptomatic hemorrhoids and anal fissures are very common problems. This article provides a review of the anatomy and physiology of the anorectum along with a discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of hemorrhoids and the commonly associated matters of anal sphincter spasm and fissures. The various office treatment modalities for hemorrhoids are discussed, as are the specifics of rubber band ligation (rBL), and a strategy for the office treatment of these problems by the gastroenterologist is given. The crh o’regan system™ is a technology available to the gastroenterologist that provides a safe, effective, and efficient option for the non-surgical treatment of hemorrhoids in the office setting.

PAGE 2 Understanding Your Joints: How, when and why joint pain occurs Healthy joints aren’t just necessary for performing the physical activities we enjoy. They are the mechanical instruments that make virtually every movement possible. When our joints begin to succumb to years of natural wear and tear or degenerative conditions like arthritis, even the most common movements — like walking or climbing stairs — can become painful. Left untreated, joint pain can be potentially debilitating, severely diminishing one’s quality of life. New hope for joint pain Here’s the good news: it is possible to significantly reduce joint pain. Medical advancements in joint surgery have come a long way, particularly partial and total joint replacement.
