Handwashing I: Introduction and Types of Equipment

5.3K
Handwashing is hand hygiene with plain or antimicrobial soap and water to physically remove dirt, organic material, and microorganisms. However, it may not kill all microorganisms. The handwashing procedure requires a hand wash basin, liquid soap, paper towels, a domestic waste bin, and disposable nail cleaner as optional equipment.
Hand wash basins in clinical areas should have faucets that can be turned on and off without using the hands; that is, they should be non-touch or lever-operated....

Buoyancy01:12

Buoyancy

8.9K
When an object is placed in a fluid, it either floats or sinks. All objects in a fluid experience a buoyant force. For example, a metal ball sinks, while a rubber ball floats. Similarly, a submarine can sink and float by adjusting its buoyancy.  The concept of buoyancy raises several interesting questions. For instance, where does this buoyant force come from? How much buoyant force is required to make an object sink or float? Do objects that sink get any support at all from the...

States of Water

46.5K
Water exists in any one of the three classical states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam or water vapor). The state of water depends on i) the intermolecular forces that draw molecules together and ii) the kinetic energy that leads to movements that pull them apart.
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

1.5K
The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury.  The nails must be short and clean, without nail...

Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies01:11

Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies

3.6K
In fluid mechanics, buoyancy and stability are key concepts for understanding the behavior of submerged and floating bodies. When a stationary body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, the fluid exerts a force on the body known as the buoyant force. This force acts vertically upward through a point called the center of buoyancy, which is the center of the displaced fluid volume. According to Archimedes' principle, the magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma is a skin condition affecting palms and soles.
  • Characterized by hypopigmented papules and plaques after water exposure, with associated burning and tightening sensations, and hyperhidrosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a case of aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma in a collegiate athlete.
  • To highlight the importance of sports medicine physicians recognizing and managing this condition in athletes.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a collegiate coxswain presenting with typical symptoms.
  • Review of existing literature on aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma.

Main Results:

  • The athlete presented with classic signs and symptoms of aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma.
  • The condition, initially considered rare, appears to be more prevalent and can impact athletic participation.

Conclusions:

  • Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma can significantly affect aquatic athletes, potentially limiting training and performance.
  • Sports medicine physicians must be knowledgeable to effectively counsel and treat athletes with this condition.
