Summary
The 2013 dystonia classification is increasingly adopted in scientific literature, though some studies still use outdated methods or incorrectly apply the new criteria. Adoption is improving annually.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Medical Classification Systems
Background:
- Dystonia classification in scientific literature shows discrepancies.
- Articles inconsistently apply the 2013 classification criteria.
- Outdated classification methods persist in some publications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review dystonia literature.
- To assess the correct implementation of the 2013 dystonia classification.
- To identify trends in classification usage.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of 990 dystonia articles.
- Categorization based on classification criteria usage (correct, mixed, old).
- Analysis of trends and factors influencing correct classification use.
Main Results:
- 59.8% of studies correctly used the 2013 dystonia classification.
- 31.3% used mixed terminology, and 8.9% used old methods.
- Surgical articles were less likely to use the new classification correctly; an upward trend in correct usage was observed.
Conclusions:
- The 2013 dystonia classification is gaining acceptance in scientific literature.
- An increasing number of studies are correctly adapting to the new classification system.

6.0K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:30Classification of Neurotransmitters
5.2K
Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in the autonomic nervous system. Neurons in the autonomic nervous system can be cholinergic or adrenergic depending on the neurotransmitters synthesized. Cholinergic neurons use acetylcholine as their primary neurotransmitter. This includes all the preganglionic fibers of the sympathetic and pre- and postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic nervous systems. In addition, neurons of the somatic nervous system also use...

01:30Classification of Leukocytes
5.3K
Leukocytes are classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of cytoplasmic granules. Granular leukocytes, which contain granules, belong to the myeloid lineage and are divided into three subtypes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. These cells are roughly spherical and characterized by the granules in their cytoplasm.
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granular leukocytes, comprising 50-70% of all leukocytes. They feature small, evenly distributed granules and a...

01:18Classification of Bones
9.7K
The bones of the human skeletal system are of varied shapes, sizes, and functions. They can be classified based on their shape and function into four major classes: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. Some classifications include a fifth type, the sesamoid bones, as a separate class, whereas others categorize them under short bones.
Long and Short Bones
The appendicular skeleton, particularly the upper and lower limbs, is primarily made of long and short bones. The...

Forces play a crucial role in the study of physics and engineering. They are essential in describing the motion, behavior, and equilibrium of objects in the physical world. Forces can be classified based on their origin, type, and direction of action.
Contact and non-contact forces are two of the most widely used categories of forces. As the name suggests, contact forces require physical contact between two objects to act upon each other. Examples of contact forces include frictional,...

01:17Classification of Illness
8.6K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...
