Handwashing III: During the Procedure and Post-Procedure Steps01:15

Handwashing III: During the Procedure and Post-Procedure Steps

To wash hands properly, follow these steps:
Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:16

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...
Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Assessment of radial pulse01:11

Assessment of radial pulse

Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Mycetoma is a chronic infection affecting bones and soft tissues, often involving the foot or hand. Imaging, including ultrasound (USG) and MRI, is crucial for diagnosing this Madurella mycetomatis infection, especially when clinical signs are atypical.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Mycetoma, or maduramycosis, is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by fungi or bacteria.
  • It typically affects the foot (70% of cases) but can also involve the hands.
  • Diagnosis relies on clinical signs (mass, sinus tracts, grain discharge) and organism identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of eumycetoma affecting the hand.
  • To highlight the diagnostic role of imaging in mycetoma.
  • To illustrate the 'dot-in-circle' sign in imaging findings.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 50-year-old farmer with hand mycetoma.
  • Clinical examination and diagnostic triad assessment.
  • Imaging studies: Ultrasound (USG) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Main Results:

  • Both USG and MRI revealed intraosseous and soft-tissue lesions.
  • The characteristic 'dot-in-circle' sign was observed.
  • Imaging findings were diagnostic for eumycetoma.

Conclusions:

  • Imaging, particularly USG and MRI, is vital for mycetoma diagnosis and management.
  • The 'dot-in-circle' sign is a key imaging feature.
  • This case underscores the utility of advanced imaging in atypical presentations of mycetoma.
