Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic01:26

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

6.0K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.7K
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Toxidromes: Clinical Features

45
Toxidromes are specific patterns of symptoms resulting from toxic substance exposure. They help in the identification and treatment of poisoning. The symptoms of each toxidrome group indicate poisoning by a certain class of chemicals or drugs.1. Sympathomimetic: Stimulates the sympathetic nervous system. Symptoms include agitation, increased heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate (RR), temperature, and pupil size. Drugs like cocaine and amphetamines, along with tremors and...

Urinary Tract Infection II: Pathophysiology

869
The pathophysiology of urinary tract infections (UTIs) encompasses several progressive stages, beginning with bacterial colonization and culminating in potential systemic complications if untreated. UTIs are primarily initiated by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, which often originate from the gastrointestinal tract and migrate to the urinary system through the periurethral area. This migration can occur via several routes, including improper hygiene practices, sexual activity, or...

Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management

267
IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Ocular Surface Disease

Background:

  • Dry eye disease (DED) is increasingly recognized, with iatrogenic causes becoming more prominent.
  • Understanding the pathophysiology of DED is crucial for addressing iatrogenic factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive report on iatrogenic dry eye within the TFOS DEWS II framework.
  • To review various iatrogenic causes of DED, including medications, contact lens wear, and surgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing data on iatrogenic DED.
  • Analysis of mechanisms by which interventions impact the ocular surface.

Main Results:

  • Topical and systemic medications, preservatives (e.g., benzalkonium chloride), contact lens wear, and ocular surgeries (LASIK, cataract, etc.) are significant causes of iatrogenic DED.
  • Surgical procedures can lead to DED through corneal nerve damage or postoperative treatments.
  • Iatrogenic DED can negatively affect patient satisfaction, vision, and surgical outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • There is a need for more epidemiological studies on iatrogenic DED risk factors.
  • Development of less toxic medications, preservatives, and minimally invasive surgical techniques is essential.
  • Early detection, appropriate therapeutics, and regulatory oversight are recommended for managing iatrogenic DED.
