Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by sustained extreme cold exposure, and severe...

Anatomical Positions

In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...
Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia01:11

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

Summary

For acute low-back pain (LBP), bed rest is less effective than staying active. For sciatica, bed rest shows little difference in pain or function compared to staying active, exercises, or physiotherapy.

Area of Science:

  • Evidence-based medicine
  • Musculoskeletal disorders
  • Primary care

Background:

  • Low-back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition managed in primary care.
  • Activity advice is a key component of LBP management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of bed rest advice for acute LBP and sciatica.
  • To compare bed rest with staying active, exercises, and physiotherapy.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials.
  • Searched multiple databases including Cochrane, MEDLINE, and EMBASE up to March 2003.
  • Assessed pain, functional status, recovery, and return to work as primary outcomes.

Main Results:

  • High-quality evidence shows bed rest for acute LBP increases pain and reduces functional recovery compared to staying active.
  • Moderate-quality evidence indicates little difference in pain or function for sciatica patients advised bed rest versus staying active.
  • No significant differences in pain or function were found between bed rest and exercises or physiotherapy for LBP and sciatica, respectively.

Conclusions:

  • Advice to rest in bed is less effective for acute LBP than advice to remain active.
  • For sciatica, bed rest offers no significant advantage over staying active, exercises, or physiotherapy.
  • Short durations of bed rest (2-3 days) are comparable to longer durations (7 days) for LBP and sciatica.
