Continuing Care

2.0K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Ostomy Care

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Prostate cancer incidence is rising, influenced by increased prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing.
  • Distinguishing prostate cancer from benign prostatic conditions is difficult due to shared symptoms like lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic challenges and current approaches for prostate cancer.
  • To evaluate the utility of PSA testing, digital rectal examination (DRE), and emerging imaging techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of prostate cancer diagnostic methods.
  • Analysis of PSA test performance, DRE, and biopsy procedures.
  • Consideration of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) as an alternative.

Main Results:

  • PSA testing has equivocal performance with false positives and negatives.
  • Digital rectal examination (DRE) shows some ability to differentiate benign from malignant prostate conditions.
  • Transrectal or transperineal biopsies are invasive and carry risks, prompting research into alternatives like mpMRI.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate prostate cancer diagnosis requires careful consideration of symptoms, PSA levels, DRE, and advanced imaging.
  • Informed decision-making regarding PSA testing necessitates counseling on its risks and benefits.
  • Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) shows promise for improving the accuracy and safety of prostate cancer diagnosis.
