Absolute and Local Extreme Values01:22

Absolute and Local Extreme Values

77
The highest and lowest values of a function, relative to a reference axis, are known as extreme values. These include absolute maximum and absolute minimum values, which represent the highest and lowest points the function reaches across its entire domain. Within a restricted portion of the function, the highest and lowest values are referred to as local maximum and local minimum values, respectively.Periodic functions, such as sine and cosine, show extreme values at infinitely many points due...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

2.4K
The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Veins of Upper Limbs01:17

Veins of Upper Limbs

4.2K
The human circulatory system, a marvel of biological engineering, is a complex network of vessels that transport blood throughout the body. Among these, the veins responsible for carrying blood from the upper limbs are divided into two categories: deep and superficial.
The deep venous system is primarily composed of the ulnar and radial veins. The ulnar vein, which drains the fingers through the superficial palmar venous arches, and the radial vein, which serves the palms via the deep palmar...

Continuing Care01:25

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,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Systemic sclerosis is a rare disease impacting quality of life. While medical treatments improve survival, surgical interventions are crucial for advanced cases, especially in the upper extremities.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Dermatology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare, chronic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs.
  • It significantly impacts patient quality of life and can lead to severe upper extremity manifestations.
  • Understanding SSc pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management is crucial for healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of systemic sclerosis, with a focus on upper extremity involvement.
  • To highlight evidence-based medical and surgical treatment options for SSc.
  • To present the utility of microsurgical interventions for refractory upper extremity SSc.

Main Methods:

  • A targeted literature review was conducted using PubMed, focusing on articles published up to October 2017.
  • Search terms included "systemic sclerosis," "scleroderma," "management," "upper extremity," and specific complications like "digital ulcers."
  • Full-length English articles discussing the management of upper extremity SSc were included.

Main Results:

  • Systemic sclerosis significantly reduces quality of life.
  • Medical management has improved the 10-year survival rate from 54% (1970s) to 66% (1990s).
  • Microsurgical interventions show utility in treating medically refractory upper extremity SSc.

Conclusions:

  • Systemic sclerosis requires comprehensive management, with medical therapy as the primary approach.
  • Surgical interventions are critical when medical management fails and the disease progresses.
  • Further research into SSc pathophysiology is needed to improve treatment outcomes.
