Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

9.4K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.3K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Degenerative Disc Disease ll: Pathophysiology

34
The symptoms of degenerative disc disease arise from a combination of mechanical compression, vascular compromise, and biochemical inflammation, which together disrupt nerve function and produce pain.Mechanical CompressionDisc degeneration reduces height and elasticity, predisposing to herniation of the nucleus pulposus, a major cause of radicular pain. Herniations may be protrusion (bulging with intact annulus), extrusion (nucleus extends beyond disc but remains connected), or sequestration...

Joints01:26

Joints

28.7K
Joints, also called articulations or articular surfaces, are points at which ligaments or other tissues connect adjacent bones. Joints permit movement and stability, and can be classified based on their structure or function.
Structural joint classifications are based on the material that makes up the joint as well as whether or not the joint contains a space between the bones. Joints are structurally classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.
Fibrous Joints Are Immovable
The bones of a...

Functional Classification of Joints

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
Synarthrosis

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.1K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Summary

Joint hypermobility syndrome, a misunderstood condition, is a multi-system connective tissue disorder. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent suffering and maintain independence.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Genetics
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) was initially considered a musculoskeletal issue.
  • It is now recognized as a multi-system heritable connective tissue disorder.
  • JHS is clinically similar to hypermobility type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the complexities of Joint hypermobility syndrome.
  • To emphasize the multi-systemic nature of the condition.
  • To underscore the impact of delayed diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and clinical expertise synthesis.
  • Comparison with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type.
  • Analysis of diagnostic delays and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis is often delayed by over 10 years in more than 50% of patients.
  • The condition affects multiple bodily systems, not just the musculoskeletal system.
  • Misdiagnosis and mistreatment are common.

Conclusions:

  • Joint hypermobility syndrome requires a comprehensive, multi-system approach.
  • Timely and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective management.
  • Proper treatment can prevent progressive decline and loss of independence.
