Facilitated Diffusion01:16

Facilitated Diffusion

1.5K
The plasma membrane, a critical structure in cellular biology, houses an array of transporters, or carrier proteins, interspersed within its lipid bilayer. These proteins play a crucial role in solute transport through facilitated diffusion, a form of passive diffusion that uses transporters to move the molecules across the membrane.
In this process, substrates such as organic compounds and ions interact with a transporter on one side, triggering conformational changes in proteins that enable...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

4.2K
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

4.3K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
There are thirteen domains...

FISH - Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization

25.6K
Fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, was developed in the early 1980s and has quickly become one of the most widely used techniques in cytogenetics. Labeled probes are used to bind complementary DNA or RNA sequences on a chromosome or in a region within a cell. Earlier, the probes could only be obtained by cloning or reverse transcription of a DNA template. Currently, the probe oligonucleotides can be synthesized synthetically. Additionally, with the advancement of optical techniques,...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.9K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)01:27

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

1.5K
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurophysiology
  • Clinical Electrophysiology

Background:

  • Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare autoimmune disorder affecting the presynaptic neuromuscular junction.
  • It is characterized by muscle weakness and autonomic dysfunction, often associated with small cell lung cancer.

Observation:

  • A case study of a middle-aged female patient presenting with symmetric, progressive, and areflexic weakness in the lower limbs.
  • The patient exhibited clinical signs consistent with LEMS.

Findings:

  • Electrodiagnostic testing revealed typical LEMS findings: diffuse attenuation of motor amplitudes.
  • A significant increase in motor amplitudes was observed after brief muscle exercise, a hallmark of LEMS.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diagnostic utility of electrodiagnostic testing in identifying LEMS.
  • Understanding these electrophysiological characteristics is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of LEMS.
