Pleural Disorders: Types and Brief Description

641
The pleura is a vital part of the respiratory system. It's a double-layered membrane surrounding the lungs and lining the chest cavity. The two layers of the pleura are:

Eulerian and Lagrangian Flow Descriptions01:22

Eulerian and Lagrangian Flow Descriptions

1.9K
Fluid flow analysis is critical in many scientific and engineering disciplines, and two principal approaches are used to describe this flow: the Eulerian and Lagrangian methods. These methods offer different perspectives on monitoring and analyzing the motion of fluids, each with distinct advantages depending on the scenario.
The Eulerian method focuses on fixed points in space where fluid properties, such as velocity, pressure, and temperature, are observed as the fluid moves between these...

Classification of Neurotransmitters01:30

Classification of Neurotransmitters

5.1K
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...

Classification of Leukocytes01:30

Classification of Leukocytes

5.2K
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...

Classification of Bones01:18

Classification 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...

Force Classification01:22

Force Classification

2.3K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Previous implant fractures (PIFs) are a complication of orthopedic surgery.
  • A standardized classification system for PIFs is lacking.
  • This hinders comparative studies and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel classification system for previous implant fractures (PIFs).
  • To assess the interobserver reliability of the proposed PIF classification system.
  • To facilitate standardized reporting and comparison of treatment outcomes for PIFs.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 103 PIFs in 96 patients across four academic medical centers over 10 years.
  • Classification based on implant type (plate/screw or intramedullary) and fracture location relative to the implant.
  • Interobserver reliability assessed using Fleiss' kappa tests among five observers.

Main Results:

  • The classification system demonstrated excellent interobserver reliability (κ = 0.839, P < 0.0005).
  • Specific classifications were defined for plate/screw (PS1-PS3) and intramedullary (IM1-IM3) constructs based on fracture location.
  • The system effectively categorized fractures occurring around various orthopedic implants.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed PIF classification system is simple, reliable, and effective.
  • This system provides a standardized method for describing fractures around previous implants.
  • It will enable better comparison of treatment modalities across different PIF injury types.
