Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Clinical Trials01:16

Clinical Trials

10.4K
Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Clinical Trials: Overview

4.9K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.5K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features

1.8K
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung conditions that progressively worsen over time, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. This cluster of diseases collectively leads to a gradual and irreversible decline in lung function over time.
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...

Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management01:28

Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

717
Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intratonsillar abscess is often considered a rare pediatric condition.
  • Previous literature suggests limited reported cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of intratonsillar abscess in pediatric patients at our institution.
  • To assess if intratonsillar abscess is more common than previously reported.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of pediatric patients.
  • Inclusion criteria: diagnosis of intratonsillar abscess on computed tomography (CT).
  • Study period: January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2014.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-two pediatric patients diagnosed with intratonsillar abscess in 2014.
  • 82% of patients did not require surgery.
  • Successful treatment with antibiotics and supportive measures, with no complications.

Conclusions:

  • Intratonsillar abscess may be more prevalent in children than current literature suggests.
  • CT imaging is crucial for diagnosis.
  • Pediatric patients with intratonsillar abscess generally have favorable clinical outcomes.
