Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

14.6K
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...

Pain01:20

Pain

1.8K
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...

Appendicitis-I: Introduction

3.5K
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants01:19

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants

19.5K
To promote clear communication, for instance, about the location of a patient's abdominal pain or a suspicious mass, anatomists and clinicians typically use imaginary lines to categorize the abdominopelvic cavity into either four quadrants or nine regions to identify organs in the cavity.
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four...

Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation01:23

Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation

4.9K
Palpation is a crucial tactile examination method for assessing abdominal organs and detecting conditions like tenderness, distention, masses, or fluid. It involves both light and deep palpation techniques, each serving specific diagnostic purposes. Light palpation helps identify tenderness and other surface-level indicators, while deep palpation locates and assess abdominal masses and organ boundaries. A skilled professional can gather valuable insights through palpation, including evaluating...

    Area of Science:

    • Palliative Care and Pain Management
    • Oncology and Global Health

    Background:

    • Significant unrelieved pain exists in developing nations, particularly among advanced malignancy patients.
    • Barriers to effective pain management include medical professional ignorance and restrictive regulations, preventing medication access.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To illustrate the profound impact of unrelieved pain on patients and their families in a low-resource setting.
    • To highlight the failures in pain management and palliative care delivery within the healthcare system.

    Main Methods:

    • A case study approach detailing the experience of a woman with advanced malignancy in Bali, Indonesia.
    • Observation of treatment interventions, including chemotherapy and palliative care, and their effectiveness.

    Main Results:

    • Despite available pain-relieving medications and chemotherapy, the patient experienced severe, unrelieved agony due to systemic failures.
    • Palliative care provided temporary relief, but neglect and ineffective treatment during hospital admission exacerbated suffering.
    • A volunteer, lacking formal medical training, provided the most significant relief, underscoring critical gaps in care.

    Conclusions:

    • There is an urgent need to address the gap in pain management knowledge and practices among healthcare professionals in developing countries.
    • Regulatory reforms and improved healthcare system navigation are crucial to ensure patient access to essential pain relief.
    • The case underscores the devastating socioeconomic impact of untreated cancer pain on families and the importance of accessible palliative care.
