Providing IV fluids in surgical patients requires careful consideration. At this point, the decision regarding which fluid has been mostly settled, with BSS like LR or PL being the preferred choice in most. 🎩 tip to the authors, including Manu Malbrain eddyjoemd.com/foamed

Monday Talks is a series of short episodes showcasing our innovative instruments and technologies, including those designed for surgical procedures, and how they support clinicians in achieving optimal patient outcomes across a variety of treatments. In this episode, we talk about the Black Line Technology and how it helps improve comfort, visibility, and precision in the operatory: -Reduced light reflection → less eye fatigue -Enhanced contrast and acuity at the surgical site -Smooth, lightweight large-diameter handle for comfort and control Interested in learning more? 👉 Visit our Monday Talks page to explore more episodes: https://bit.ly/48j6NPk #MondayTalks #DentalInstruments #BlackLine #DentalTechnology #DentalEducation #Episodes #SurgicalInstruments #HuFriedyGroup #TheBestInPractice

👉 When your patient walks in completely bent forward… It’s something we all see from time to time a patient who suddenly can’t stand upright anymore, their back locked in a painful flexed position. That’s what we call an acute kyphotic deformity. The common reflex? Try to “unlock” the spine immediately with repeated extension in prone. But very often… it doesn’t work. The patient simply can’t tolerate it yet and forcing it usually makes things worse. At this stage, the key is static positioning and patience. I usually place the patient prone, supported with one or more pillows, monitor their pain response, and wait. Gradually, you remove a pillow or raise the table section small, progressive changes over 20 to 40 minutes. That’s how you allow the deformity to reduce naturally. The first pitfall comes when the patient gets off the table — they need to move slowly, stay within the safe range, and keep moving once upright. It’s a perfect reminder that in MDT, progress sometimes means doing less but doing it precisely. 👉 Interested in learning more about clinical reasoning and practical strategies like this?

A minimally invasive shoulder replacement that spares the rotator cuff is helping patients regain motion within days and shorten recovery from six months to just 6–12 weeks. The technique, performed at The Christ Hospital Health Network by Dr. Paul Favorito, MD, was co-developed with Johnson & Johnson MedTech engineers. By avoiding tendon cutting and preserving tissue integrity, the approach reduces immobilization time and postoperative pain. Dr. Favorito is now teaching the procedure nationwide, with potential to become a new surgical standard.

This demonstration highlights an effective technique for offloading the styloid process, helping to reduce pressure and improve patient outcomes. An important consideration when prescribing or modifying orthotic devices. #AlgeosAustralia #PodiatryProfessionals #OrthoticManagement #ClinicalEducation #FootHealth

The Only H1 Formula Your Local Clinic Needs: [Service] in [City] If you run a foot clinic, your homepage is often the first thing a potential patient sees. And if the headline is weak, you've already lost them... Because if Google doesn’t know where you are — no one else will either. I’ve worked with dozens of clinics. The biggest SEO mistake I see? Generic H1s like: → “Welcome to Our Practice”   → “Caring for Your Health”   → “Your Trusted Providers” These say nothing to Google. Or your patients. If you're a local clinic, your H1 needs to work harder. Here’s why: 1. Your H1 is the headline of your webpage.   ↳ Google uses it to understand what the page is about. 2. Local keywords help you rank in your city.   ↳ But only if they’re clear, specific, and placed right. 3. Patients search things like:   → “ankle pain doctor in Denver”   → “best ankle specialist near me”   → “foot clinic in Atlanta” Not “Welcome to Our Practice.” So how can your H1 actually win attention? Use this plug-and-play formula: ➤ [Service] in [City] Examples: → Ankle Pain Doctor in Chicago   → Foot & Ankle Specialist in Denver   → Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Atlanta This tells Google exactly: → Who you are   → What you do   → Where you are No fluff. No guesswork. Just results. Try this out. It takes 10 seconds. But gets long-term SEO gains. Clarity = clicks. Positioning = patients. The more specific your H1, the faster patients find you. P.S. Use the formula: [Service] in [City]. What's your new H1?

🚨 The $200 massage gun vs. the $0 hands-on technique—which actually works better? A groundbreaking 12-week clinical trial is about to settle this debate once and for all. Here's what's happening: Researchers are comparing high-tech massage guns against traditional myofascial release therapy for treating painful trigger points in calf muscles. 60 patients with latent trigger points will be studied over 12 weeks, measuring: • Pain intensity levels • Pressure sensitivity thresholds • Ankle mobility improvements Why this matters for every physiotherapist and athlete: ✅ We're spending hundreds on massage guns without solid evidence they outperform manual techniques ✅ Patients are asking which treatment option is actually worth their time and money ✅ This research could revolutionize how we approach trigger point therapy The study runs from December 2024 to November 2025—and the results could change everything we think we know about muscle recovery. Here's my prediction: The winner won't be the fanciest tool. It'll be the technique that combines the right pressure, duration, and consistency. Because at the end of the day, it's not about the equipment—it's about understanding the science behind effective treatment. What's your experience? Have you noticed better results with massage guns or traditional hands-on therapy?

Did you know that the Quick Measure feature, first introduced with the iCare IC200 tonometer, was developed to address real-world challenges such as blinking, patient movement, and exam-related anxiety? It retains all the benefits of iCare’s rebound technology, now delivered in a more efficient and optimized format. Now also available with slit-lamp integration in the iCare ST500 slit lamp rebound tonometer, Quick Measure helps ophthalmologists save time while enhancing both workflow efficiency and patient comfort. 🔗 Learn more about Quick Measure here: https://hubs.la/Q03Nr86s0 #reboundtonometry #ophthalmology
