The role that can be effectively played by the orthopaedic surgeon in the long-term management of the stroke victim is often overlooked. Post-stroke patients rely heavily on the orthopaedist, amongst other members of the multidisciplinary team, to regain the maximum possible functional status following the stroke event. A great need to understand and implement the principles of post-stroke orthopaedic treatment and rehabilitation exists in our own community and practice.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/noaj.v2i1.8139 Nepal Orthopaedic Association Journal Vol.2(1) 2011: 43-46

This chapter covers the adrenal gland. It begins with the anatomy and physiology of the adrenal gland, then continues with imaging techniques. It then covers adrenal disorders, including Conn’s syndrome, adrenal Cushing’s syndrome, Adrenal insufficiency, Addison’s disease, and multiple autoimmune disorders. The investigation, treatment, and long-term management of primary insufficiency is covered. Various adrenal tumours and associated disorders, along with their management, are described.

Summary Objective: To increase awareness on the severe impact of the nutcracker syndrome in women with undiagnosed disease. Patients and methods: We reviewed the medical literature and analyzed six representative series with 73 patients with nutcracker syndrome. Women with left flank pain, dyspareunia, dysuria, dysmenorrhea, micro- or macrohaematuria and pelvic congestion symptoms, should be carefully investigated for evidence of meso aortic left renal vein compression. A good number of our colleagues do not believe in the existence of the nutcracker syndrome and send these patients in a long pilgrimage in search of someone who can help them to get relief to their pain. New and improved imaging techniques can assist in the diagnosis but retrograde reno-gonadal phlebography and renocaval gradient are the most reliable diagnostic tools. Results: Among an assortment of treatment techniques, renal vein transposition and endovenous stenting were the two most commonly used procedures. There are no long term studies on renal vein stenting in children and young adults. Its use in these cases should be carefully considered. The nutcracker syndrome may present with pelvic congestion symptoms and its diagnosis missed. The patient's age, severity of symptoms and haemo dynamic renal studies should guide the treatment. Conclusion: An increased awareness of the existence of the nutcracker syndrome may prevent many unfortunate undiagnosed women from spending many months and often years of suffering.
