Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation01:27

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation

1.6K
Palpation involves feeling the body to evaluate texture, size, consistency, and tenderness for assessing cardiovascular health. The following steps are organized in a head-to-toe order:
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System II: Inspection

1.3K
Inspection is the initial step in assessing the cardiovascular system. It involves a detailed visual examination that provides crucial information about a patient's circulatory and cardiac health. This systematic process, conducted from head to toe, helps identify signs of cardiovascular conditions by observing physical appearance, skin and mucous membranes, jugular and carotid pulsations, chest symmetry, and the condition of the extremities.

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.4K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation01:23

Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation

5.7K
Palpation is a crucial tactile examination method for assessing abdominal organs and detecting conditions like tenderness, distention, masses, or fluid. It involves both light and deep palpation techniques, each serving specific diagnostic purposes. Light palpation helps identify tenderness and other surface-level indicators, while deep palpation locates and assess abdominal masses and organ boundaries. A skilled professional can gather valuable insights through palpation, including evaluating...

Summary

This research explores skin conditions affecting the hands, including palms, fingers, and nails. It covers various disorders like palmoplantar keratodermas, dyshidrosis, SAPHO syndrome, photo-ageing, and paraneoplastic acrokeratosis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Hand and Nail Disorders

Context:

  • The hands, encompassing palms, fingers, and nail folds, are susceptible to diverse dermatological conditions.
  • These conditions range from inherited or acquired disorders to specific syndromes and environmental effects.

Purpose:

  • To provide an overview of distinct skin conditions affecting the hands.
  • To highlight key characteristics and affected areas for each condition.

Summary:

  • Discusses palmoplantar keratodermas (inherited/acquired), dyshidrosis (eczema of palms/fingers), and SAPHO syndrome (pustules on palms).
  • Covers photo-ageing on the back of hands and paraneoplastic acrokeratosis (Bazex syndrome) affecting periungual folds.
  • Mentions spontaneous blue finger syndrome as a benign, self-resolving condition.
