Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

14.5K
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...

Pericarditis IV: Nursing Management

525
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.

Pain01:20

Pain

1.7K
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...

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

482
Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Nociception01:44

Nociception

34.0K
Nociception—the ability to feel pain—is essential for an organism’s survival and overall well-being. Noxious stimuli such as piercing pain from a sharp object, heat from an open flame, or contact with corrosive chemicals are first detected by sensory receptors, called nociceptors, located on nerve endings. Nociceptors express ion channels that convert noxious stimuli into electrical signals. When these signals reach the brain via sensory neurons, they are perceived as pain.

Appendicitis-I: Introduction01:22

Appendicitis-I: Introduction

3.2K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Athletic Training
    • Injury Prevention

    Background:

    • Contact and collision sports, such as football, frequently involve athletes sustaining injuries during play.
    • The absence of on-site medical professionals, specifically team physicians, can lead to injured athletes continuing participation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the risks associated with injured athletes continuing play in the absence of a team physician.
    • To underscore the potential for exacerbating injuries and leading to permanent disability.

    Main Methods:

    • This study is a review of existing literature and case studies.
    • Analysis of injury data and outcomes in football and similar sports.

    Main Results:

    • Continuing play after an injury without medical evaluation significantly elevates the risk of further damage.
    • Delayed or absent medical assessment can transform a manageable injury into a career-ending or permanently disabling condition.

    Conclusions:

    • Ensuring the presence of a team physician for contact sports is critical for athlete safety.
    • Immediate medical assessment and management of injuries are paramount to prevent long-term consequences and ensure player well-being.
