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...

Peripheral Nervous System: Ganglia and Nerves

7.0K
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is a crucial component of the body's neural network, extending beyond the central nervous system (CNS) to bridge the gap between the CNS and the external environment. It encompasses nerves, ganglia, and sensory receptors.
Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...

Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue01:15

Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue

2.0K
In the CNS, neurogenesis, the birth of new neurons from stem cells, is limited to the hippocampus in adults. In other regions of the brain and spinal cord, neurogenesis is almost non-existent due to inhibitory influences from neuroglia, especially oligodendrocytes, and the absence of growth-stimulating cues. The myelin produced by oligodendrocytes in the CNS inhibits neuronal regeneration. Furthermore, astrocytes proliferate rapidly after neuronal damage, forming scar tissue that physically...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

584
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

During the postoperative period, it is crucial to focus on maintaining circulation, identifying and managing potential complications, and planning for discharge.Nursing AssessmentVital signs monitoring: Regularly monitor vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, to detect early signs of complications such as bleeding and infection.Circulation assessment: Monitor pulses, perform Doppler assessments, and check capillary refill, color, temperature, and...

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction01:30

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

553
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Peripheral nerve injuries are infrequent in sports but lack comprehensive epidemiological data.
  • Specific sports activities can lead to nerve compression, stretching, ischemia, or laceration.
  • Overuse and sports equipment can contribute to peripheral nerve disorders in athletes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of peripheral nerve injuries in athletes.
  • To highlight the impact of these injuries on an athlete's career.
  • To discuss conservative and surgical treatment options and prognostic factors.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of relevant publications on peripheral nerve injuries in sports.
  • Analysis of injury mechanisms, clinical presentations, and treatment strategies.
  • Discussion of diagnostic challenges and prognostic indicators.

Main Results:

  • Peripheral nerve injuries in athletes result from direct trauma, repetitive stress, or compression.
  • Delayed diagnosis can impede an athlete's return to sport.
  • Conservative treatment, including physiotherapy and activity modification, is the primary approach.

Conclusions:

  • Peripheral nerve injuries in athletes require careful diagnosis and management.
  • Conservative treatment is often effective, but surgical intervention may be necessary for specific cases.
  • Prognosis is influenced by the cause of injury and the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
