Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Pain

Pain

Pain serves as a critical warning signal that alerts the body to potential or actual harm. When mechanical pressure on the skin is intense, such as from a sharp pinch, the sensation transitions from touch to pain. Similarly, extreme temperatures, like a hot pot handle, convert the sensation of heat into pain. Pain can also result from overstimulation of other senses, such as blinding light, loud noise, or the intense heat from habañero peppers. This ability to sense pain is essential for...

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses

As discussed in previous lessons, strain energy in a material is the energy stored when it is elastically deformed, a concept crucial in materials science and mechanical engineering. This energy results from the internal work done against the cohesive forces within the material. When a material undergoes shearing stress and corresponding shearing strain, the strain energy density, which is the energy stored per unit volume, is calculated. Within the elastic limit, where the stress is...

Elastic Strain Energy for Normal Stresses

Elastic Strain Energy for Normal Stresses

Strain energy quantifies the energy stored within a material due to deformation under loading conditions, a fundamental concept in materials science and engineering. The strain energy can be modeled when a material is subjected to axial loading with uniformly distributed stress. In this scenario, the stress experienced by the material is the internal force divided by the cross-sectional area, and the strain induced is directly proportional to this stress through the modulus of elasticity.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events, are a...

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents with diverse symptoms depending on the location and severity of the ulcer. Clinical manifestations of peptic ulcer include dull pain and a burning sensation in the mid-epigastric region.
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

Disaster medicine

Epidemiology

Background:

The Mw 6.3 L'Aquila earthquake on April 6, 2009, caused significant casualties and damage in central Italy.
Over 25,000 people were displaced, and more than 10,000 buildings were damaged.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the prevalence and drug treatment of pain in the five weeks following the L'Aquila earthquake.
To analyze pain severity, type, and treatment efficacy in earthquake survivors.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 958 triage documents.
Assessment of patient pain severity, pain type, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

Pain prevalence was 34.6%, with 58.8% reporting severe pain.
A biphasic pain pattern was observed: acute trauma pain (first 15 days) followed by rebuilding-related pain (week five) and chronic condition relapses (weeks 2-4).
Available analgesics (anti-inflammatories, paracetamol, weak opioids) provided pain score reduction within 24 hours.

Conclusions:

Pain is a common issue during natural disasters.
Pain following the L'Aquila earthquake exhibited a predictable pattern.
Current drug treatments were adequate for managing pain in this emergency setting.
