Lesions and abrasions of the skin can range from superficial to deep. Abrasion injuries occur when skin rubs against a rough surface, removing the outer epidermal layers. They are classified by degree from first to third. Treatment includes cleaning, applying antibiotics to prevent infection, and optionally dressing the wound. Lesions refer broadly to any tissue abnormality or damage, and can be classified by features, location, and other characteristics. Common skin lesions include macules, papules, vesicles, pustules and ulcers. Available treatments can temporarily remove lesions but do not provide a permanent cure.
This document discusses road traffic accidents (RTAs) including causes, statistics, and prevention strategies. It notes that RTAs are primarily caused by speeding, not wearing helmets or seatbelts, distracted driving, and fatigue. National highways account for 37% of accidents while junctions in urban areas account for 40%. The most common types of accidents are hitting pedestrians, rear-end collisions, and head-on collisions. Prevention strategies proposed include stricter enforcement of speed limits, higher penalties for violations, mandatory safety devices in vehicles, improved driver testing, and increased public safety awareness campaigns. Worldwide statistics estimate 1.2 million deaths from RTAs annually.

Plastic surgery involves surgical procedures that restore, reconstruct, or change the human body. There are two main types - reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery repairs functional issues from injuries, burns, or defects; examples include breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Cosmetic surgery aims to improve the appearance, such as liposuction, tummy tucks, or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Various techniques are used including incisions, excisions, skin grafting, and flaps to reconstruct tissues and organs.
Pulmonary embolism refers to obstruction of the pulmonary artery or its branches by a blood clot or other material. Risk factors include prolonged immobility, surgery, cancer, and heart or lung diseases. A clot blocks blood flow and gas exchange in part of the lung. This increases pulmonary pressures and workload on the right ventricle. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, chest pain, and low oxygen levels. Diagnosis involves blood tests, imaging, and angiography. Treatment focuses on anticoagulation drugs or thrombolysis to dissolve clots as well as supporting heart and lung function. Surgery may be needed for large clots.
This document discusses pressure sores (also known as decubitus ulcers or bed sores), which are areas of damaged skin and underlying tissue that typically form over bony prominences of the body due to prolonged pressure. The document covers the definition, risk factors, pathogenesis, staging, clinical features, complications, and treatment of pressure sores. Common sites for pressure sores include the occiput, scapula, ischium, sacrum, and heel. Prevention is important through good skin care, use of an alpha bed, and management of incontinence. Treatment involves frequent repositioning, wound debridement, dressings, and sometimes skin grafts or flaps.
Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin that causes redness, swelling and itchiness. There are many types of dermatitis including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis and seborrheic dermatitis. Contact dermatitis occurs when the skin comes into contact with an irritant or allergen and can be either irritant or allergic in nature. Symptoms vary depending on the type but may include a rash, blisters, dry cracked skin and itchiness. Treatment involves identifying and avoiding triggers, using moisturizers and topical or oral medications like corticosteroids and antihistamines.
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue. It is most commonly caused by S. pyogenes and S. aureus.5 Bacteria may gain access to the dermis via a break in the skin barrier in healthy adults, whereas the hematogenous route is more common in immunocompromised patients.
The affected skin is usually erythematous, swollen, painful, and warm to the touch. Severe cellulitis can be complicated by bullae, pustules, or necrotic tissue. Damage to lymphatic vessels can lead to recurrent episodes of cellulitis.6 In areas of the world endemic for lymphatic filariasis, it is important to rule out this disease in cases of recurrent bouts of lower-extremity cellulitis and lymphangitis.
Plastic surgery has a long history dating back to ancient India and Egypt. Modern plastic surgery techniques were developed in the early 20th century, especially during World War I to treat facial injuries. The most common plastic surgery procedures in the UK are breast augmentation for women and rhinoplasty for both men and women. While plastic surgery is less common in the UK compared to other countries, demand has been growing in recent years, especially for procedures to correct gynecomastia in men. Australia has also seen growth in plastic surgery, with a study finding that women who have had cosmetic procedures were more likely to frequently use other health services as well.
Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa, fluid-filled sacs located around joints that reduce friction, most commonly affecting the elbow, shoulder, knee, and hip. It is typically caused by infections, age, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes or obesity. Symptoms include pain, fever, swelling, tenderness, and trouble moving the affected joint. Treatment involves medications like NSAIDs or corticosteroids, rest, ice, and lifestyle changes such as weight loss.

It emphasizes the need for a systematic approach to rapidly triage and stabilize injured patients before transferring them to definitive care facilities.
The document discusses perioperative nursing. It defines the perioperative period as including the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of surgery. The preoperative phase involves assessing the patient, obtaining consent, and providing education. The intraoperative phase is when the surgery occurs. The postoperative phase focuses on monitoring and managing the recovery process. Perioperative nurses play an important role in optimizing patient outcomes across all three phases of surgery.
Pulmonary embolism refers to obstruction of the pulmonary artery or its branches by a thrombus, usually a blood clot originating in the venous system. It is estimated that over 500,000 people develop PE yearly, resulting in over 50,000 deaths. Risk factors include heart disease, cancer, surgery, prolonged immobility, smoking, obesity, and pregnancy. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and leg pain or swelling. Diagnosis involves blood tests, imaging like CT scans, and angiograms. Treatment focuses on anticoagulant medications and clot removal procedures to prevent growth of clots and new clot formation.
Reconstructive surgery repairs and restores defects or abnormalities of body structures. It uses techniques like skin grafts, tissue expansion, and flap surgery. Skin grafts involve taking healthy skin from a donor site and placing it over a wound. There are three types: split thickness grafts remove some dermis; full thickness grafts use all skin layers; and composite grafts combine skin with other tissues. Tissue expansion slowly grows extra skin using balloon expanders. Flap surgery moves tissue still attached to its blood supply to reconstruct areas. Local flaps use nearby tissue, regional flaps move tissue farther away still on a pedicle, and free flaps transfer tissue completely with reattached blood vessels.
Dermatologists are specialists who treat skin conditions ranging from acne to cancer. In addition, they treat and diagnose hair and nail problems.
