Adhesion01:14

Adhesion

44.1K
Adhesion occurs when one type of molecule is attracted to a different molecule. Water exhibits adhesive properties in the presence of polar surfaces, such as glass or cellulose in plants. For instance, when water is poured into a glass, the positively charged hydrogen molecules of water are more attracted to the negatively charged oxygen molecules in the silica than to the oxygen in neighboring water molecules.
Capillary action is a result of water’s adhesive tendencies. When a narrow...

Nursing Diagnosis01:22

Nursing Diagnosis

4.0K
Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
The nursing diagnosis focuses on evidence-based...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

3.8K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
There are thirteen domains...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.8K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Cell Adhesion in Plants01:14

Cell Adhesion in Plants

3.3K
Plants have rigid cell walls that are made up of cell wall polysaccharides that mediate cell-cell adhesion. The primary cell walls of plants consist of two independent and interacting polysaccharide networks: a pectin matrix that embeds the second network comprising cellulose and hemicelluloses.
Pectins are complex heteropolymers mainly composed of negatively-charged α-D-glucopyranosyl uronic acid and some neutral glycosyl residues such as α-L-rhamnopyranose, α-L-arabinofuranose,...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

3.8K
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, causes shoulder pain and stiffness. While often resolving in two years, persistent limitations may occur, necessitating varied treatment approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rheumatology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is a prevalent condition causing shoulder pain and restricted range of motion.
  • It disproportionately affects individuals with diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism.
  • While typically idiopathic, coracohumeral ligament thickening on MRI is a specific diagnostic indicator.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of adhesive capsulitis, including its traditional progression, recent challenges to this theory, and diagnostic considerations.
  • To explore the diverse range of nonsurgical and surgical treatment options available for frozen shoulder.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of combined physiotherapy and corticosteroid injections versus physiotherapy alone.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of adhesive capsulitis diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment modalities.
  • Analysis of evidence regarding the natural history and potential long-term functional limitations.
  • Synthesis of data on nonsurgical interventions (NSAIDs, corticosteroids, injections, physiotherapy, acupuncture, hydrodilatation) and surgical options (manipulation under anesthesia, arthroscopic release).

Main Results:

  • Recent evidence suggests persistent functional limitations in untreated adhesive capsulitis, challenging the traditional two-year full recovery model.
  • Combined physiotherapy and corticosteroid injections may offer superior outcomes compared to physiotherapy alone.
  • Surgical interventions are reserved for cases with inadequate response to conservative management.

Conclusions:

  • Adhesive capsulitis management requires consideration of potential long-term deficits.
  • A multimodal treatment approach, potentially combining physiotherapy with corticosteroid injections, may optimize patient outcomes.
  • Surgical options provide alternatives for refractory cases.
