Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

10.9K
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Analgesia and Pain Management

584
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...

Appendicitis-I: Introduction

119
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...

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

122
Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...

Pain

475
Pain serves as a critical warning signal that alerts the body to potential or actual harm. When mechanical pressure on the skin is intense, such as from a sharp pinch, the sensation transitions from touch to pain. Similarly, extreme temperatures, like a hot pot handle, convert the sensation of heat into pain. Pain can also result from overstimulation of other senses, such as blinding light, loud noise, or the intense heat from habañero peppers. This ability to sense pain is essential for...

Appendicitis-II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

76
Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

Area of Science:

  • Pain Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Pain patient management has lagged behind expectations for nearly 50 years.
  • Current approaches may not adequately address the complexity of chronic pain conditions.
  • The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) framework requires re-evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors hindering the evolution of pain patient management.
  • To re-examine fundamental concepts of pain classification and diagnosis.
  • To assess the current education and training of pain physicians.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted.
  • Focus on novel strategies for diagnosing and managing high-impact chronic pain.
  • Analysis of conceptual frameworks in pain medicine.

Main Results:

  • The traditional acute-chronic pain dichotomy is no longer considered useful.
  • Pain should be classified based on origin: peripheral or central processing errors.
  • Peripheral and central pain syndromes necessitate distinct diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Treatments effective for peripheral pain, including opioids, are ineffective for central pain.
  • Central pain requires a neuro-centric treatment strategy, avoiding focus on peripheral causes.
  • Pain physician education must evolve to equip clinicians with skills for both pain types.
