Burn Injuries

2.4K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

3.1K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

2.8K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...

Physical therapists can enhance integumentary/wound management (IWM) education with 139 recommended lab activities. Many use low-cost, DIY wound models to boost student learning and clinical skills.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Physical Therapy
  • Wound Care

Background:

  • Limited integumentary/wound management (IWM) education is reported in many entry-level healthcare programs.
  • Effective and efficient use of IWM contact hours is crucial.
  • Engaging, hands-on laboratory activities are vital for student learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compile a comprehensive list of laboratory activities for integumentary/wound management (IWM) instruction.
  • To assist health professions faculty in developing or improving IWM curriculum.
  • To provide detailed and engaging IWM laboratory activity recommendations.

Main Methods:

  • A three-round Delphi survey was used to update IWM curriculum recommendations.
  • Physical therapist clinicians and educators across the US participated.

  • Survey responses were refined for clarity, redundancy, and usability, including cost and time estimates.
  • Main Results:

    • 139 laboratory activities for IWM education were recommended.
    • Many activities utilize inexpensive, do-it-yourself wound models (e.g., food-based moulage).
    • These simulations facilitate practical application in classroom and community settings.

    Conclusions:

    • Developing effective and efficient IWM laboratory activities is essential.
    • Hands-on activities enhance student knowledge and skills in wound management.
    • The recommendations support improved IWM instruction in physical therapy education.
