Professional Values01:29

Professional Values

10.7K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

The Professional Nurse

6.5K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

The circulatory system plays a crucial role in ensuring the optimal functioning of the human body. One of its critical components is venous return - the process that completes the blood circulation cycle. This article will delve into the concept of venous return, how it works, and its significance to our health.
What is Venous Return?
Venous return refers to the rate at which blood flows back to the heart from the body's peripheral veins. It's an integral part of the circulatory system...

Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

212
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Accelerators01:17

Accelerators

Accelerators in concrete serve as admixtures to speed up the hardening process, enabling the concrete to achieve early strength faster. Although accelerators do not necessarily impact the time it takes concrete to set, they reduce this time in practice. A common accelerator is calcium chloride, which is particularly useful for hastening early strength development in cold weather or for rapid repair jobs that require quick heat generation after mixing.
The effectiveness of calcium chloride can...

Muscles for Facial Expressions01:14

Muscles for Facial Expressions

4.8K
The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...

Summary

Professional rugby players with facial fractures can return to play sooner than the conventional 8-12 week period. This study shows accelerated rehabilitation allows earlier return to training and full-contact play without adverse events.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Sports medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Facial fractures significantly impact professional rugby players' competition time.
  • Conventional return-to-play (RTP) guidelines of 8-12 weeks are often too long for elite athletes.
  • Limited data exists on RTP after facial fractures in professional rugby players.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate RTP after facial fractures in professional rugby players using an accelerated rehabilitation protocol.
  • To determine the feasibility of earlier return to sport compared to traditional timelines.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 10 professional rugby players with facial fractures.
  • Tracking days to return to training and full-contact play based on fracture type.
  • Assessment for refractures and sequelae post-return.

Main Results:

  • Players returned to jogging in 9.9 days, sports-specific training in 10.8 days, and full-contact training in 18.3 days.
  • Medial orbital wall, orbital floor, and zygomatic arch fractures were most common.
  • No refractures or sequelae were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Professional rugby players can achieve an accelerated RTP after facial fractures.
  • The accelerated protocol allows earlier return to regular rugby activities than conventionally recommended.
  • This approach appears safe and effective for elite athletes.
