Blood Studies I: ABG and VBG01:26

Blood Studies I: ABG and VBG

1.5K
Blood studies are critical in the medical field, enabling healthcare professionals to assess a patient's health status accurately. This page will focus on two significant blood studies: Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) and Venous Blood Gas (VBG).
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) studies are crucial for assessing the lungs' ability to supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, reflecting the patient's ventilation status. They also help understand the kidneys' capacity to...

Classification of Bones01:18

Classification of Bones

10.8K
The bones of the human skeletal system are of varied shapes, sizes, and functions. They can be classified based on their shape and function into four major classes: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. Some classifications include a fifth type, the sesamoid bones, as a separate class, whereas others categorize them under short bones.
Long and Short Bones
The appendicular skeleton, particularly the upper and lower limbs, is primarily made of long and short bones. The...

Classification of Connective Tissues01:30

Classification of Connective Tissues

20.3K
The connective tissues have different properties and functions in the human body. They are broadly categorized into proper, supporting, or fluid connective tissues.
Connective Tissue Proper
Connective tissue proper is the most abundant class of connective tissues. As its name implies, it predominantly connects different tissues in the body. Depending on the cell types, ground substance, viscosity, and fiber types in the ECM, connective tissue proper is further categorized into loose and dense....

Anatomical Terminology01:20

Anatomical Terminology

28.2K
Knowledge of anatomy is essential to understand human biology and medicine. Anatomists and health care professionals use standard terminology to describe the human body with more precision and no ambiguity. Anatomical terms have mostly Greek and Latin-derived roots. Because these languages are rarely used in conversation, the meaning of words remains the same. Each term is made up of a root in between the prefixes and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition,...

Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy

5.8K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.
Gray Matter and its Components
Central to the gray matter is...

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Overview01:22

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Overview

28.0K
Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the number of cell layers formed. Cell shapes can be squamous (flattened and thin), cuboidal (square-like, as wide as it is tall), or columnar (rectangular, taller than it is wide). Additionally, the nucleus shape helps identify the type of epithelial cells. Squamous cells have flattened disc-shaped nuclei, cuboidal cells have spherical nuclei, and columnar cells have elongated nuclei.
Based on the number of cell layers,...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Spinal Disorders

Background:

  • The proliferation of scoliosis braces named after individuals or locations necessitates a standardized scientific classification.
  • Current challenges in comparing braces and defining specific indications hinder effective treatment.
  • The International Society for Scoliosis Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) established the Brace Classification Study Group (BCSG) to address these issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop standardized terminology and a classification system for scoliosis braces.
  • To provide a visual atlas of bracing systems for educational and clinical use.
  • To establish a consensus on brace characteristics and definitions.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary panel of 17 professionals from the BCSG contributed to the study.
  • The BCSG defined key domains for characterizing bracing systems.
  • The study involved a review of existing brace types and their characteristics.

Main Results:

  • A consensus was reached on 139 terms related to scoliosis bracing.
  • Over 120 figures were compiled to create a visual atlas of brace types.
  • An initial brace classification approach based on proposed domains was presented.

Conclusions:

  • This study presents the first clinical terminology tool for scoliosis bracing based on scientific evidence and multidisciplinary consensus.
  • The developed classification system and visual atlas aim to improve the understanding and application of scoliosis braces.
  • This work facilitates better comparison of braces and clearer definition of their indications.
