Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.2K
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...

Methods of reducing fever

1.6K
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Temperature and Thermal Equilibrium01:11

Temperature and Thermal Equilibrium

7.2K
Heat and temperature are essential concepts for everyone every day. The study of heat and temperature is part of an area of physics known as thermodynamics. It is not always easy to distinguish heat and temperature.
The concept of temperature has evolved from the common concepts of hot and cold. The scientific definition of temperature explains more than just our sense of hot and cold. Temperature is operationally defined as the quantity measured with a thermometer. Furthermore, temperature is...

Thermosensation01:43

Thermosensation

29.7K
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Addressing healthcare challenges requires community collaboration. Identifying "superutilizers" and fragmented care in urban and suburban areas is key to building healthier communities through integrated health solutions.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Healthcare Management
  • Community Health

Background:

  • Healthcare systems face significant costs from
  • superutilizers,
  • a small patient group driving over 50% of expenses.
  • Fragmented healthcare delivery is prevalent not only in urban blight but also in isolated suburban and gated communities.
  • Lack of integration between primary care, behavioral health, public health, and community organizations exacerbates these issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss critical issues in collaborative efforts to build healthy communities.
  • To highlight the impact of
  • superutilizers
  • and disintegrated healthcare on system costs and accessibility.
  • To propose
  • communities of solution
  • as a framework for addressing systemic, community-based health problems.

Main Methods:

  • The study discusses existing problems and proposes a conceptual framework.
  • It analyzes the concept of
  • communities of solution
  • as a historical and potential approach to healthcare challenges.
  • It emphasizes the need for explicit partnerships between public health, primary care, and behavioral health providers.

Main Results:

  • superutilizers
  • represent a significant financial burden on the healthcare system.
  • Healthcare fragmentation exists across diverse community settings, not solely in impoverished areas.
  • A
  • community of solution
  • approach is identified as a viable strategy for local problem-solving.

Conclusions:

  • Effective community health building necessitates addressing systemic issues beyond individual patient care.
  • The
  • community of solution
  • model offers a pathway to integrate disparate health services.
  • Explicit partnerships linking public health, primary care, and behavioral health are crucial for creating healthier communities.
