Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.6K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Flail Chest-I01:24

Flail Chest-I

946
Overview of Flail Chest
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...

Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

5.3K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Pericarditis IV: Nursing Management01:25

Pericarditis IV: Nursing Management

527
Pericarditis, an inflammation of the pericardium, necessitates diligent nursing management to ensure effective patient care and recovery. The initial step in managing pericarditis is a comprehensive patient medical assessment.The patient reports chest pain aggravated by breathing, coughing, and swallowing, which worsens when lying supine. The pain often improves when sitting up and leaning forward. Additional symptoms may include fever, malaise, and, in severe cases, signs of heart failure.

Pericarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests01:19

Pericarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

491
Pericarditis is distinguished by inflammation of the pericardium, the fibrous sac that encases the heart. It can be acute, lasting less than six weeks, or chronic, persisting for over three months. Understanding its clinical manifestations and diagnostic findings is crucial for timely and effective management.Clinical ManifestationsWhile pericarditis can be asymptomatic, it usually presents with characteristic symptoms such as:Chest Pain: The most characteristic symptom of pericarditis is chest...

Angina III: Clinical Manifestations and Assessment01:29

Angina III: Clinical Manifestations and Assessment

348
Angina manifests as chest pain, tightness, or squeezing discomfort typically located behind the breastbone. It can radiate to the neck, jaw, shoulders, and inner aspects of the upper arms, most commonly the left arm. Patients may experience shortness of breath, fatigue, profuse sweating, dizziness, indigestion, heartburn, palpitations, anxiety, and vomiting as accompanying symptoms. This pain often lasts a few minutes and is triggered by physical exertion, emotional stress, heavy meals, or cold...

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Biomechanical Research

    Background:

    • Swimmer's shoulder is a common overuse injury.
    • Increasing prevalence of shoulder pain among swimmers seeking medical advice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the trend in surgical consideration for swimmers with shoulder pain.
    • To identify factors influencing the decision for surgical intervention in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patient data.
    • Review of diagnostic codes and treatment pathways for shoulder pain in swimmers.
    • Statistical analysis of surgical rates over a defined period.

    Main Results:

    • A rising number of swimmers are presenting with shoulder pain.
    • A declining proportion of these cases are ultimately recommended for surgery.
    • Identification of non-operative treatment successes.

    Conclusions:

    • Non-operative management strategies are increasingly effective for swimmer's shoulder.
    • Surgical intervention is becoming less common for swimming-induced shoulder pain.
    • Further research into conservative treatment protocols is warranted.
