Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

675
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Rheumatic Heart Disease III: Medical Management

434
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) management can be divided into two main strategies: prevention and long-term management.Primary PreventionPrimary prevention focuses on timely diagnosis and management of group A streptococcal pharyngitis to prevent acute rheumatic fever. The most widely used antibiotic for treating this condition is intramuscular benzathine penicillin G.Acute Rheumatic Fever TreatmentThe primary treatment goal for a patient diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever is to suppress the...

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

1.6K
The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury.  The nails must be short and clean, without nail...

Rheumatic Heart Disease IV: Nursing Management

AssessmentA comprehensive assessment is essential in managing a patient with rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Begin with obtaining a detailed medical history, including recent streptococcal infections, a history of rheumatic fever, or previously diagnosed rheumatic heart disease. Assess the patient for symptoms such as fever, chest pain, widespread joint pain (arthralgia), tachycardia, pericardial friction rub, muffled heart sounds, heart murmurs, peripheral edema, subcutaneous nodules, and...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.2K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rheumatology
  • Hand Surgery

Background:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis frequently leads to characteristic hand deformities.
  • While medical treatments have advanced, some patients do not achieve remission or tolerate therapies.
  • Persistent synovitis and deformities may necessitate surgical intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the goals and types of surgical interventions for rheumatoid arthritis hand deformities.
  • To emphasize the importance of individualized treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical interventions for rheumatoid arthritis affecting the hand.
  • Categorization of procedures into prophylactic and therapeutic approaches.

Main Results:

  • Hand surgery aims to alleviate pain and enhance function in affected patients.
  • Surgical interventions are tailored to individual patient needs.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical options exist for rheumatoid arthritis patients with persistent hand deformities and synovitis.
  • Effective treatment requires close collaboration among rheumatologists, hand surgeons, and patients.
