Methods of Documentation II: POMR

1.0K
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Appendicitis-I: Introduction01:22

Appendicitis-I: Introduction

531
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...

Analgesia and Pain Management

779
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

168
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

14.1K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Population Growth00:57

Population Growth

25.7K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Growing pains lack a clear definition in medical literature, with inconsistent diagnostic criteria. This uncertainty means clinicians should be cautious when diagnosing and treating this common childhood condition.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Pain Management
  • Medical Literature Analysis

Background:

  • Growing pains affect up to one-third of children.
  • Diagnosis of growing pains is currently uncertain.
  • Lack of standardized diagnostic criteria hinders effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and detail the definitions of growing pains in existing medical literature.
  • To identify commonalities and discrepancies in diagnostic criteria for growing pains.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review was conducted using 8 electronic databases and 6 diagnostic classification systems.
  • Searched for peer-reviewed articles and theses on "growing pain(s)" or "growth pain(s)" in children and adolescents.
  • Data extraction was performed by two independent reviewers.

Main Results:

  • 145 studies and 2 diagnostic systems were included.
  • Extremely poor consensus was found regarding the basis for diagnosing growing pains.
  • Lower limb pain was the most consistent feature (50%), followed by evening/night pain (48%), episodic course (42%), normal physical assessment (35%), and bilateral pain (31%).
  • Over 80% of studies omitted age of onset, and 93% did not reference growth in their definitions.

Conclusions:

  • The medical literature lacks a clear, consistent definition for growing pains.
  • Clinicians should exercise caution when using the diagnosis of growing pains to guide treatment decisions.
