Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:16

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

3.4K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Pain01:20

Pain

2.1K
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...

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

14.9K
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...

Muscles that Move the Forearm

5.4K
The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

6.8K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition causing hand pain.
  • Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder caused by excess growth hormone production.

Observation:

  • A 48-year-old male presented with bilateral hand pain.
  • Initial diagnosis revealed bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Further disease progression led to acromegaly diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome, impaired glucose tolerance, and sellar region radiological findings were key diagnostic indicators.
  • These findings collectively pointed towards acromegaly.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering acromegaly in patients with seemingly unrelated symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Early recognition of acromegaly is crucial for timely intervention and management.
