Endocarditis IV: Nursing Management01:29

Endocarditis IV: Nursing Management

522
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a chronic infection of the heart's endocardium, primarily affecting the heart valves. A detailed nursing assessment for a patient with IE involves collecting subjective and objective data to ensure an accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.Subjective DataThe nurse gathers information about the patient's symptoms and complaints during the subjective assessment. Patients with infective endocarditis often report non-specific symptoms that can mimic other...

Acute Pyelonephritis I: Introduction

978
Pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the renal parenchyma and collecting system, including the renal pelvis, tubules, and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys. It can be classified as either acute—a sudden, severe infection—or chronic, which refers to long-term or recurrent kidney infections.The primary cause of acute pyelonephritis (APN) is bacterial infection, with Escherichia coli accounting for approximately 70-80% of cases. Other bacteria, such...

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

584
Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

384
A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Urinary Tract Infection IV: Nursing Management

569
In managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing, a comprehensive assessment is essential. Begin by gathering subjective data, such as the patient’s complaints of dysuria (painful urination), urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and any lower abdominal discomfort. This information can be complemented by questions regarding previous UTIs, sexual activity, and personal hygiene practices, which can provide insight into risk factors. Objective assessment should focus on signs...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis01:25

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

687
Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Wells's cellulitis is a rare eosinophilic dermatosis.
  • Characterized by inflammatory erythematous eruption and eosinophilia.
  • Differential diagnosis with other eosinophilic dermatitis is challenging.

Observation:

  • A 63-year-old patient presented with an extensive pruritic maculo-papular eruption.
  • Lesions formed large, indurated, painful erythematous patches on limbs and trunk.
  • Blood analysis revealed peripheral eosinophilia.

Findings:

  • Histologic examination showed perivascular eosinophilic inflammatory infiltration.
  • Eosinophilic infiltration was observed around collagen fibers.
  • Symptoms resolved with topical corticosteroid treatment.

Implications:

  • Diagnosis of Wells's cellulitis relies on suggestive clinical, biological, and histological features.
  • Topical corticosteroids are effective and well-tolerated.
  • Topical corticosteroids should be considered the first-line treatment for Wells's cellulitis.
