Dear Fellow IMA Members and Esteemed Healthcare Professionals,
I extend warm greetings from IMA Kauvery Alwarpet.
October is the time of outbreak in influenza and the monsoon twinning with the festive gatherings of Deepavalli.
Let’s keep in mind to get vaccinated against these viral enemies and to spread the awareness of the same.
As physicians, our role extends beyond clinics – touching lives, educating communities and this digital platform helps us to update ourselves to the current medical treatment and successful patient outcomes.
Along with JCI Accreditation Ethical Practice, upholding the highest standards of medical ethics remains our corner stone.
We thank all the departments for their contributions. towards IMA.
Yours in IMA service, Dr S Sivaram Kannan President
Dear IMA members,
Kauvery hospital, Alwarpet was awarded the JCI accreditation which is an international body.
This is a recognition for the high standard of care given to patients in the hospital, both medical and nursing care.
It is a proud moment for Kauverians and we strive to continuously improve our standards.
Kauvery IMA is bringing collection of medical articles and case reports as part of this CME drive.
Long live IMA.
Yours in IMA service, Dr. Bhuvaneshwari Rajendran Secretary
Dear friends,

Scapular fractures are rare, typically resulting from high-impact trauma like car accidents or falls, and represent 3–5% of shoulder girdle fractures. They most commonly affect the body (45%), glenoid process (35%), acromion (8%), and coracoid process (7%).

INTRODUCTION:
Hypo perfusion complex, commonly referred to as shock bowel, is a characteristic radiological pattern observed in patients with severe systemic hypotension or shock. It represents the body’s physiological response to critically reduced tissue perfusion, leading to compensatory change in the splanchnic circulation. These changes are best demonstrated on contrast enhanced CT scans.
SUMMARY:
This case report describes a diagnostically challenging case of a middle-aged male admitted with severe hyponatremia, fatigue, and incidentally found to have nephrotic-range proteinuria. Although initially suspected to be primary adrenal insufficiency or SIADH, further testing revealed CASPR2 antibody–associated autoimmune encephalitis along with nephrotic-range proteinuria, probably due to membranous nephropathy.
Abstract:
Pneumothorax is a common injury in Road traffic accidents. Traditionally pneumothorax needs an intercostal drainage. Here in this case series we have reported 3 cases of traumatic pneumothorax which was managed without ICD with our multidisciplinary approach.
Tracheal stenosis is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that may develop following prolonged or traumatic endotracheal intubation. We present a case of a 34-year-old male who developed progressive respiratory distress due to subglottic stenosis one month after an episode of status epilepticus requiring intubation. This case highlights the importance of early recognition, appropriate post-intubation care, and timely intervention in preventing and managing airway stenosis.
Main takeaway: Accurate reduction and safe implant placement in complex acetabular fractures can be enhanced by intra-operative O-arm navigation, enabling precise screw trajectories and confirmation of reduction while limiting soft-tissue morbidity.
