Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.0K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis01:37

Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis

60.2K
The response to stress—be it physical or psychological, acute or chronic—involves activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis is part of the neuroendocrine system because it involves both neuronal and hormonal communication. Its function is to regulate homeostatic systems—metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune—providing the necessary means to respond to a stressor.

MicroRNAs01:22

MicroRNAs

21.3K
MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns—non-coding regions of a gene—or intergenic regions—stretches of DNA present between genes. Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After...

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

964
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.

The Retina01:32

The Retina

69.1K
The retina is a layer of nervous tissue at the back of the eye that transduces light into neural signals. This process, called phototransduction, is carried out by rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the back of the retina.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Rheumatology
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Naomi Rothfield's significant contributions to understanding systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
  • Focus on the characterization and clinical significance of autoantibodies, specifically antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) and anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies.
  • Exploration of serum complement's role in SLE diagnosis and the link between inherited complement deficiencies and SLE susceptibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight Naomi Rothfield's foundational research in lupus immunology.
  • To emphasize the clinical relevance of autoantibodies and complement pathways in SLE.
  • To acknowledge her leadership in fostering research and patient support for SLE.

Main Methods:

  • Review of Rothfield's published research on autoantibodies in SLE.
  • Analysis of studies investigating serum complement levels for SLE diagnosis.
  • Examination of research linking complement deficiencies to SLE.

Main Results:

  • Established the importance of ANAs and anti-dsDNA antibodies in SLE diagnosis and monitoring.
  • Demonstrated the utility of serum complement assays in SLE patient management.
  • Identified associations between inherited complement deficiencies and increased risk of developing SLE.

Conclusions:

  • Naomi Rothfield's work significantly advanced the understanding and diagnosis of SLE.
  • Her research laid the groundwork for current diagnostic and management strategies for lupus patients.
  • Rothfield was pivotal in establishing patient support networks, exemplified by her role in founding Lupus Foundation of America chapters.
