Gaviscon drug is intended to alleviate the effects of excess stomach acid, including indigestion, heartburn, and stomach discomfort. Antacids made of aluminium and magnesium start to reduce stomach acid immediately. A lot of the time, liquid antacids are more effective than pills or capsules. Only the stomach’s already-existing acid is what this drug combats. It does not stop the generation of acid. It may be used either on its own or in combination with other drugs (such as proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole and H2 blockers like cimetidine/ranitidine) that reduce acid production. How to use Gaviscon Use this medicine as…

The narrowing of the foramina or tiny apertures between each vertebra in the spine through which nerve roots flow is referred to as neural foraminal stenosis. Neural foraminal stenosis, a kind of spinal stenosis, is not necessarily symptomatic. However, this will hurt if a nerve becomes crushed in the space. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), which are available over the counter, may be helpful, and physicians may also prescribe treatments that can reduce nerve pain. All regions of the body send nerves to the spinal canal. The nerve roots ascend the spinal cord to the brain via spaces between the vertebrae…

The calcaneus, which is found within the foot, is sometimes referred to as the heel bone. It is located at the rear of the foot, close to the lower leg’s talus, tibia, and fibula bones. The heel bone is the biggest of the bones in the foot. The structure and architecture of the calcaneus are distinctive. To fit the talus and the other tarsal bones that lead to the metatarsals and phalanges that make up the front of the foot and toes, the heel bone’s front surface has several bends.  The tuberosity and medial process, which serve as landmarks for…

The word “papilloma” describes a variety of [mfn]benign epithelial[/mfn] proliferation that may affect the skin of the eyelids. The papillomavirus is not always linked to these lesions. Although these lesions are not harmful, they may produce moderate discomfort or harm the patient’s appearance. This exercise highlights the function of the interprofessional team in managing eyelid papillomas while describing their aetiology and pathogenesis. Even though the eyelid only has a modest surface area, it is crucial for safeguarding the eyeball. The eyelid skin is the thinnest in the body and lacks subcutaneous fat. The eyelids are especially vulnerable to irritants and…

During sporting or leisure activities,[mfn]lateral ankle sprains[/mfn], or rolling over on the outside of your ankle, are among the most frequent injuries that people get. The anterior talofibular ligament is the name of the ligament on the outside of the ankle that is most often damaged (ATFL). The most typical scenario for an anterior talofibular ligament rupture is a sprained ankle with an inversion injury, either with or without plantar flexion.  If concomitant bone avulsion occurs, it often occurs at the fibular malleolus rather than the talar end of the anterior talofibular ligament and is accompanied by the recognisable brilliant…
