Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

6.3K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

130
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

432
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Computed Tomography

6.4K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.3K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Area of Science:

  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders
  • Health Systems Research

Background:

  • Lower back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition, frequently presenting as non-specific pain in primary care settings.
  • While serious etiologies are rare, many patients exhibit risk factors or symptoms that can lead to overdiagnosis.
  • Current healthcare systems often struggle to implement non-medical approaches recommended by international guidelines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze current literature and guidelines concerning the overdiagnosis of LBP in primary care.
  • To understand the multifaceted issues contributing to and resulting from LBP overdiagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was performed.
  • Included both qualitative and quantitative studies addressing LBP overdiagnosis in primary care.

Main Results:

  • International guidelines advocate for non-medical LBP management strategies.
  • Healthcare systems require significant adaptation to support guideline-compliant clinical implementation.

Conclusions:

  • Primary care physicians require enhanced education and regulation to mitigate LBP overdiagnosis.
  • Systemic changes are necessary to organize and assimilate guidelines among physicians, supporting current treatment approaches.
