Hand hygiene

6.6K
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.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

848
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

50
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...

Urinary Tract Infection IV: Nursing Management

602
In managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing, a comprehensive assessment is essential. Begin by gathering subjective data, such as the patient’s complaints of dysuria (painful urination), urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and any lower abdominal discomfort. This information can be complemented by questions regarding previous UTIs, sexual activity, and personal hygiene practices, which can provide insight into risk factors. Objective assessment should focus on signs...

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

404
A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This review found moderate evidence that adalimumab and infliximab improve quality of life for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) patients. However, more research is needed to confirm efficacy and safety for HS treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Clinical Trials
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting approximately 1% of the population.
  • HS is characterized by painful boils in flexural areas, typically starting in early adulthood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically assess the effects of various interventions for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) across all age groups.
  • To evaluate the impact of treatments on quality of life and adverse effects.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a comprehensive literature search of multiple databases up to August 2015.
  • Included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of all interventions for HS.
  • Two independent reviewers assessed study eligibility, quality, and extracted data on primary outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Twelve RCTs with 615 participants were included, spanning 32 years.
  • Adalimumab (40 mg weekly) showed moderate evidence of improving quality of life in moderate to severe HS.
  • Infliximab also demonstrated improvement in quality of life, based on moderate quality evidence.

Conclusions:

  • Significant gaps exist in the evidence base for HS treatments.
  • Weekly adalimumab dosing shows potential but requires further safety evaluation; infliximab also shows promise.
  • More high-quality RCTs are needed, especially for oral treatments and surgical procedures, with validated outcome measures.
