Fractures

This document contains 20 multiple choice questions about nutrition from Chapter 1 of Wardlaw's Contemporary Nutrition textbook. The questions cover topics like leading causes of death in the US, classes of nutrients, nutrients that supply energy, characteristics of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and minerals, daily water needs, and calculating calorie content from gram amounts of different nutrients.

Tooth Injuries

Tooth injuries can occur from falls, accidents, and other incidents, causing teeth to chip, crack, become partially dislodged, or removed from the socket entirely. Signs of injuries include visible damage, tooth discoloration after a concussion, and pain when tapped. Fractures may cause sensitivity to hot/cold and increased pain. Management depends on the injury - avulsed teeth should be gently cleaned and replaced in the socket if possible, or stored in liquid; chipped teeth fragments should be saved and the patient seen by a dentist; and loosened or displaced teeth should be stabilized in the proper position with a splint or pressure until dental care can be received.

Physicians and Nutrition Education discusses the need for improved nutrition education for physicians. Currently, most Americans view their doctor as a primary source of nutrition information, yet nutrition is not mandatory in medical school curriculums. This lack of training means physicians are unable to provide adequate dietary advice to patients. The presentation aims to teach physicians key nutrition principles in order to better serve patient needs. Suggested approaches include incorporating nutrition into medical practices and coordinating care between doctors and dietitians. Challenges to improved nutrition education include constraints of medical curriculums and evaluating training programs.

Muscle Anantomy 101

Kyle Ochsner

There are three types of connective tissue - epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium - that surround and interconnect muscle fibers. The sarcomere is the smallest contractile unit of a muscle, composed of the proteins actin and myosin. Muscle fibers come in two main types - type I (slow twitch) and type II (fast twitch) - and vary in length, number of nuclei, and ratio between individuals. The type of muscle fibers predominantly used depends on the sport or activity, such as type I fibers for marathon running and type II fibers for sprinting. Motor units are composed of a motor neuron and either type I or type II muscle fibers, and vary in size depending

A fracture is a break or disruption in the continuity of bone. Fractures occur when stress placed on a bone exceeds its strength, and can be caused by direct impact, twisting, compression or muscle contraction. There are many types of fractures classified by the bone location and nature of the break. Treatment depends on the type and severity of fracture, and may involve casting, traction, closed or open reduction, internal or external fixation to realign and immobilize the bone while it heals. Nursing care focuses on pain management, preventing complications like infection, and helping the patient regain mobility and function.

Comminuted, Simple, and Compound Fractures

bmarkward

There are three main types of fractures: comminuted, simple, and compound. A comminuted fracture occurs when the bone is shattered into more than two pieces due to crushing force, often affecting elderly people or those with weak bones. Simple fractures break the bone into two pieces without breaking the skin. Compound fractures break both the bone and skin, requiring immediate surgery to reduce infection risks and immobilization of the bone. All fractures cause pain, swelling, and warmth at the injury site and are diagnosed via x-ray. Treatment focuses on immobilizing the bone through casting, pinning, or plating.

This newspaper article discusses findings from a survey of 600 Australian youth aged 10-17 that show declining rates of drug and alcohol use and fewer youth having sex at younger ages. Specifically, the survey found marijuana use decreased from 36% to 23% from 2003 to 2007, while cigarette smoking declined slightly. Fewer youth were sexually active before age 16, down from over three-quarters to less than two-thirds. Members of a NSW Youth Advisory Council attribute the trends to increased education and awareness, allowing youth to make more informed decisions about their health and relationships.

HGH

1. The growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain and stimulates the growth of muscle, cartilage, and bone. 2. Sports like weightlifting and baseball where short bursts of power and strength are important are more likely to use HGH, as it increases muscle size and allows muscles to recover faster, enabling more training. 3. HGH was first banned from sports by the International Olympic Committee in 1989.

EPO

EPO is a performance-enhancing drug that stimulates red blood cell creation, increasing oxygen levels in the body. It allows athletes in endurance sports like cycling and running to maintain steady breathing and not slow down or stop during long distance events. While originally developed to treat medical conditions causing anemia, athletes use EPO to enhance performance and chances of winning. However, EPO is dangerous as it raises hematocrit levels, thickening the blood and risking strokes, heart attacks, and clogged capillaries.

Beta Blockers

Beta blockers are drugs that block nerve impulses and reduce heart rate and force. They are used to treat conditions like high blood pressure but are also used in precision sports to improve performance by steadying nerves and improving accuracy. Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, and breathing problems. Beta blockers are most commonly used in gymnastics, diving, ski jumping, soccer, wrestling, shooting and archery because they help athletes remain focused and in control by reducing heart rate.

Blood Doping

Blood doping is a procedure that increases the number of red blood cells in the body to enhance athletic performance and endurance. It works by allowing more oxygen to be carried to the muscles. Potential side effects include kidney damage, blood infections, heart problems, blood clots, and jaundice. Blood doping is mainly used in long distance endurance events like long distance running and cross country skiing to help athletes maintain performance for longer periods.

Steroids

Steroids are a class of hormones related to testosterone that build muscle by increasing protein synthesis. They are commonly used by athletes to improve performance in sports like weightlifting, baseball, cycling, and football, but long-term use can have serious health risks such as infertility, enlarged heart, high blood pressure, liver damage, and aggression. Cycling involves taking high steroid doses for several weeks and then discontinuing use for several weeks or months.

Eye Injuries

Heart Attack

A heart attack occurs when a coronary artery becomes blocked, preventing blood and oxygen from reaching the heart muscle. Over time, fatty deposits can build up in the arteries and eventually rupture, forming a clot that causes a complete blockage. Common symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain or discomfort that may spread to the arms, shoulders, neck or jaw. Treatment focuses on quickly restoring blood flow through clot-busting drugs, angioplasty, stents or bypass surgery. Lifestyle changes and cardiac rehabilitation are important for recovery.

Epilepsy

This document provides an overview of epilepsy, including signs and symptoms, what causes it, and how it is managed. Epilepsy is a common neurological condition where the normal electrical activity in the brain is disrupted, causing seizures. There are two main types of seizures - partial seizures where the seizure activity starts in one area of the brain, and generalized seizures where the seizure activity involves the whole brain. Management strategies include medication, lifestyle changes, and first aid response during seizures.

Fractures

The document discusses different types of fractures including simple, compound, complicated, and greenstick fractures. It describes the causes and signs of fractures and provides guidance on first aid management including immobilization, splinting, and control of bleeding depending on the fracture type. Compound fractures which break the skin pose greater risks and require prompt medical assistance. Circulation, sensation, and shock should be monitored for all fracture types.

Nasal Fractures

The document discusses different types of nasal injuries including nosebleeds and nasal fractures. It provides information on causes, signs and symptoms, and first aid treatment for nosebleeds and nasal fractures. For nosebleeds, it recommends having the person pinch their nose and lean forward to stop bleeding. For nasal fractures, it advises applying ice to reduce swelling and pain, and seeing a doctor for more serious fractures or blocked nasal passages.

Muscular Cramps

Muscle cramps are involuntary and painful contractions of skeletal muscle that usually occur without warning. They are often experienced by athletes during or after strenuous exercise and can be a symptom of issues like fatigue, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or nutritional deficiencies. Common signs are hard, contracted muscles and painful twitching. Muscle cramps can be managed through stretching, massage, hydration, electrolyte replacement, and in some cases medication. Regular stretching and self-massage may help prevent future cramping.
