Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
2. Introduction:
• Cognition is that operation of the mind
process by which we become aware of objects
of thought and perception, including all
aspects of perceiving, thinking &
remembering. Organic brain syndrome is
general term referring to many physical
disorders that cause impaired mental
function.
3. Classification of organic brain
disorders:
• (F00-f09) organic, including
symptomatic, mental disorders
• (F00) Dementia in Alzheimer’s disease
• (F01) Vascular dementia
• (F02) Dementia in other diseases
classified elsewhere
• (F03) unspecified dementia
• (F04) organic amnestic syndrome, not
induced by alcohol and other
psychoactive substances
4. • (F05) delirium not induced by alcohol and
other psychoactive substances
• (F06) Other mental disorders due to brain
damage and dysfunction and to physical
disease
• (F07) personality and behavioural disorders
due to brain disease, damage and dysfunction
• (F09) unspecified organic or symptomatic
mental disorder.
5. History of dementia:
• Dementia was first described in a book about
mental illness in 1830. In 1894, Dr. Alois
Alzheimer, a German neuropathologist who
has a particular interest in “nervous disorders”
described changes in the brain caused by
vascular disease (now known as vascular
dementia).
6. DEFINITION:
• “Dementia is an acquired global impairment
of intellect, memory and personality but
without impairment of consciousness”
8. Etiology:
• Significant loss of neurons and volume in brain
regions devoted to memory and higher mental
functioning
• Neurofibrillary angles (twisted nerve cell fibres
that are the damaged remains of microtubules
9. • Environmental factors: infection, metals
and toxins.
• Excessive amount of metal ions, such as
zinc and copper, in brain
• Deficiencies of vitamin B6,B12 And
Folate Possible Risk Factor Due To
Increased Levels Of Hemocysteine
(amino acid that may interfere with
nerve cell repair)
• Early depression: common genetic
factors seen in those with early
depression and Alzheimer's disease
10. Untreatable and irreversible
cause of dementia
• Degenerating disorders of CNS
• Alzheimer’s disease (this is the most common
of all dementing illnesses)
• Pick’s disease
• Huntington’s chorea
• Parkinson’s disease
12. • Vitamin deficiency, especially deficiency of thiamine
and nicotine
Physiologic:
• Normal pressure hydrocephalus
Metabolic:
• Endocrinopathies (e.g. hypothyroidism)
Tumor:
• Primary or metastatic (e.g. meningioma or
metastatic breast or lung cancer)
Traumatic:
• Subdural hematoma
13. Types of dementia:
the classifications include.
Cortical dementia: dementia where the brain
damage primarily affects the brain’s cortex, or
outer layer. Cortical dementias tend to cause
problems with memory, language, thinking,
and social behaviour.
14. Subcortical dementia: dementia that affects
parts of the brain below the cortex. Sub-
cortical dementia tends to cause changes in
emotions and movement in addition to
problems with memory.
Progressive dementia: dementia that gets
worse over time, gradually interfering with
more and more cognitive abilities.
15. Primary dementia: dementia such as
Alzheimer's disease that does not result from
any other disease.
Secondary dementia: dementia that occurs as
a result of a physical disease or injury.
16.
17. Stages of dementia:
Stage I: Early stage (2 to 4 years):
• Forgetfulness
• Declining interest in environment
• Hesitancy in initiating actions
• Poor performance at work
18. Stage II: Middle stage (2 to 12 years):
• Progressive memory loss
• Hesitates in response to questions
• Has difficulty in following simple instructions
• Irritable, anxious
• Wandering
• Neglects personal hygiene
• Social isolation
19. Stage III: Final stage (up to a year):
• Marked loss of weight because of
inadequate intake of food
• Unable to communicate
• Does not recognize family
• Incontinence of urine and feces
• Loses the ability to stand and walk
• Death is caused by aspiration
pneumonia

21. Warning signs of
Alzheimer’s dementia:
• Memory loss
• Difficulty performing familiar tasks
• Problems with language
• Disorientation to time and place
• Poor or decreased judgement
• Problems with abstract thinking
• Misplacing things
• Changes in mood or behaviour
• Changes in personality
• Loss of initiative
22. Clinical features (For
Alzheimer’s type)
• Personality changes: lack of interest in
day-to-day activities, easy mental
fatigability, self-centred, withdrawn,
decreased self-care.
• Memory impairment: recent memory is
prominently affected.
• Cognitive impairment: disorientation
poor judgement, difficulty in
abstraction, decreased attention span.
23. Although there are some decreases in metabolism associated with age, in most patients with
Alzheimer’s disease, there are marked decreases in the temporal lobe, an area important in
memory functions.
24. • Affective impairment: labile mood,
irritableness, depression
• Behavioural impairment: stereotyped
behaviour, alteration in sexual drives and
activities, psychotic behaviour.
• Neurological impairment: stereotyped
behaviour, alteration in sexual drives and
activities,
25. Diagnosis:
• Following test are used for diagnosis:
• Cognitive assessment evaluation- mini
mental status examination (MMSE) –
shows cognitive impairment
• Functional dementia scale (to indicate
the degree of dementia)
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): of
the brain shows structural and
neurologic changes.
• Spinal fluid analysis shows increased
beta amyloid deposits
28. ANTIDEPRESSANT AGENTS AND MOOD
STABILIZERS
• Low doses of the selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors and other newer antidepressive
agents should be considered.
30. Data to be included for assessment
• Disorientation
• Mood changes
• Fear
• Suspiciousness
• Self-care deficit
• Social behaviour
• Level of mobility, wandering behaviour
• Judgement ability
• Sleep disturbances
• Speech or language impairment
• Hallucinations, illusions or delusions
31. • Bowel and bladder incontinence
• Apathy
• Any decline in nutritional status
• Recognition of family members
• Identify primary care giver, support system
and the knowledge base of the family
members.
32. Nursing intervention:
• Daily routine
• Nutrition & body weight
• Personal hygiene
• Toilet habits and incontinence
• Accidents
• Fluid management
• Moods and emotions
• Wandering
• Disturbed sleep
• Interpersonal relationship
34. Conclusion:
• Dementia is a serious cognitive disorder all
together dementia is a far common in the
geriatric population, it may be occur in any
stage of childhood
• So as a nurse we need to get aware about the
preventive measures of dementia and
educative the individuals about its signs and
symptoms with its treatment
