Data Reporting and Recording01:24

Data Reporting and Recording

5.4K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Reporter Genes02:11

Reporter Genes

13.0K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.

Introduction to Documentation and Reporting01:20

Introduction to Documentation and Reporting

2.9K
Documentation is the systematic process of formally recording, maintaining, and communicating information.
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
Documentation maps the patient's health journey by creating a comprehensive...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Pelvic Floor Disorders

Background:

  • Faecal incontinence (FI) significantly impacts quality of life.
  • Existing conservative treatments for FI have limitations.
  • Artificial anal sphincters offer a potential solution for severe FI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the preliminary outcomes of the SphinKeeper™ artificial anal sphincter.
  • To compare pre- and post-operative data in patients with faecal incontinence.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of SphinKeeper™ implantation.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 13 adult patients with chronic, treatment-resistant FI were implanted with SphinKeeper™.
  • Preoperative and 6-month postoperative assessments included anorectal manometry, endoanal ultrasound, Cleveland Clinic FI Score, FI Quality of Life score, and incontinence episode frequency.
  • Data analysis focused on changes in these parameters post-implantation.

Main Results:

  • No intra-operative or major postoperative complications were reported.
  • Two cases of prosthesis extrusion and one anterior dislocation were noted.
  • Significant improvements were observed in maximum resting pressure, weekly incontinence episodes, and Cleveland Clinic FI Score (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • SphinKeeper™ appears to be a safe and effective minimally invasive option for faecal incontinence.
  • Short-term results suggest good postoperative outcomes.
  • Further studies with larger cohorts and longer follow-up are warranted to confirm its potential as a first-line treatment for FI.
